  2. I haven’t seen it yet but there’s enough in the clip to suggest to me that the story has been corrupted. A wonderful element of the original Forsyth story was the cold, stark minimalism and isolation which added immensely to the atmosphere. It was virtually a first-person solipsism and it created magic. There’s too many people in this for a start.

  3. A yellowed copy of The Shepherd from 1976 sitting on my bookshelf, a treasured Xmas gift from my father, ex RAF. A touching story, looks like Disney have finally done something right.

  10. Such a Great Story! Years ago I read it with 7 graders in our Waldorf School around Christmas and one of them asked whether it was true or fiction and how on earth the Writer invented it as to what inspired him. I said Well. Let’s write a letter to Mr. Forsyth and ask him, maybe he answers… He did!
    and this is what he said:

    “Dear Herr Blessing
    Thank you for your kind letter of May 4th.
    The story behind "The Shepherd" is quite simple.
    At Christmas 1974 I found myself in a
    hotel in Ireland with my wife on Christmas Eve.
    My wife had a
    habit of trying to find her Christmas present before Christmas morning, and then complaining that it was no surprise!
    On this occasion I had a diamond ring which was small enough for me to keep in my pocket.
    When she could find nothing in the cupboards,
    she accused me of having forgotten to buy her a present.
    I
    pretended that I had.
    So she said, "Oh well, write me a ghost story".
    I thought nothing of it until after lunch on Christmas Day, when I sat down while the others went to sleep and wrote "The Shepherd" before midnight.
    I have never written a ghost story before or since but wanted to get away from the usual setting;
    an old castle, a manor house, something
    hundreds of years old.
    I remember reading many years earlier of a
    story of an abandoned British airfield where, on a certain night of the year when the fog came down, the image of a dead pilot was seen walking round the control tower as if looking for something. newspaper said that several farmers, cycling home from the pub across the Old air field, had seen the figure which had no head.
    Research
    into the archives revealed that on that same night a crippled bomber had come homewith a young pilot at the controls who resisted the temptation to bale out and leave his crew to die.
    He landed his
    bomber without wheels and was decapitated in the crash. crew, although wounded, survived.
    Half his
    to see whether his colleagues had survived.
    The myth was that the pilot returned
    From this old rumour I invented the story of the pilot who came back each Christmas Eve to fly again.
    Yours sincerely
    Frederick Forsyth

  12. It was "ok"… it didn't evoke the "emotion" and sentimentality it was supposed to, best parts were CGI flying sequences, the aircraft and night mood visuals.

  13. I first encountered this novella as a Reader's Digest condensed book. Even though it was the Spanish language edition, it lost none of its drama and intensity.

    I hope this movie does justice to the original.

  14. Surely there must be a way that the studios can belittle the other Allies and put a bunch of Americans in their place like they did with Memphis Belle, The Great Escape, The Bridge on the River Kwaii and U571……come on Disney, try harder!

  21. Disney will ruin it. Likely put DEI actors in which is logically and historically false . Also they’ll ignore the basis of the movies name and plot which is about Christianity

  25. I can see a lot of you guys like the story, however, as some here point out, Disney got hold of it, and failed to bring out the essence of the story. There are so many fails in this that I gave up watching it part way through. I had heard this story years ago, but didn't know what it was called. Disney should have done better, made more effort. The story is good, but the enacting of it failed, not by the actors, but by the execution of the scenes. So many holes in the actions shown. Maybe the budget was minimal, because it sure looks like it. Shame on you Disney.

  26. Nothing can be better than the reading of "The Shepherd" by Alan Maitland on CBC radio. You don't need a movie to see it, you see it in your mind, amazing. All the voices by one man.

  28. I don’t know how I feel about this, but will give it a chance. Though I’ve yet to read the book I know the story well, thanks to the annual broadcast of the late Alan Maitland, aka “Fireside Al,” reading the story on the CBC program As It Happens. His haunting mastery of all the voices, with different accents, brings the story alive.
