When the war movie is shot on this one, it can be regarded as the ultimate scene. Even a Southeast Asian landscape film is not an exaggeration. Textual research on the war scenes, two military officers and a second-class army ruffian on stage, the depiction of several supporting actors: even the depiction of the Japanese dead, all show great courage. There are three impressive scenes, one is the big scene at the beginning of the film, two are the birds that startled when the Japanese army is killed, and the third is the discovery of the bridge until the train plunges into the river. The three protagonists symbolize the three countries

9 points. A bit of an offbeat POW camp story. Colonel Ying, who was captured, vowed not to betray the principle and would not do hard labor. Later, he tried his best to build bridges and vowed to protect the fruits of his labor. The bombed bridge tour is a lot like the desert tour in Lawrence of Arabia.
The Bridge on the River Kwai quotes
-
Colonel Nicholson: Hughes, if this were your bridge, how would you use the men?
Major Hughes: [chuckles] Well, sir, not the way they're doing it. It's utter chaos, as you can see at a glance. It's a lot of uncoordinated activity; no teamwork. Some of those parties are actually working against each other.
Colonel Nicholson: Yes... I tell you, gentlemen, we have a problem on our hands. Thanks to the Japanese, we now command a rabble. There's no order, no discipline. Our task is to rebuild the battalion.
Major Reeves: Yes, sir.
Colonel Nicholson: It isn't going to be easy, but fortunately we have the means at hand: The bridge.
Major Hughes: "The bridge," sir?
Colonel Nicholson: The bridge. We can teach these barbarians a lesson in Western methods and efficiency that will put them to shame. We'll show them what the British soldier is capable of doing.
Major Hughes: Yes, I see your point, sir.
Colonel Nicholson: I realize how difficult it's going to be in this god-forsaken place where you can't find what you need, but there's the challenge.
Major Evans: I beg your pardon, sir. You mean you really want them to build a bridge?
Colonel Nicholson: You're not usually so slow on the uptake, Evans. I know our men. You've got to keep them occupied. The fact is, if there weren't any work for them to do, we'd invent some, eh, Reeves?
Major Reeves: That we would, sir.
Colonel Nicholson: So we're lucky. But it's going to be a proper bridge. Now here again, I know the men. It's essential that they should take a pride in their job. Right, gentlemen?
Major Hughes: [All officers in unison] Yes, sir.
Colonel Nicholson: Reeves, you're the key man in this situation, as engineer. Tell me what you want, and Hughes and I will organize it. What do you think? Can we make a go of it?
Major Reeves: We'll do our best, sir.
Colonel Nicholson: Fine. We must draw up our plans... then arrange a conference with Saito... and set him straight.

Colonel Green: [to Shears] You don't realize what a plum you are for us. Your knowledge of the area, making friends in that village. It's almost as if your whole escape had been planned with us in mind.
