* FairForItsDay: While dated in some respects, ''The Sand Pebbles'' is progressive for its time in depicting an anti-Western rebellion in Asia in a complex and somewhat sympathetic light, and making no effort to defend or apologize for imperialism. The movie also deserves credit for casting all its Asian characters with Asian actors, even if a few (like the Japanese-American Creator/{{Mako}}) weren't ethnically Chinese, at a time when it wasn't uncommon for Hollywood films to cast Caucasian performers in yellow face.
