At first I also wanted to say that it was not in line with the Japanese style. . . . . . . . . . But then I found out that the war was just a cover, and it was human nature. The film is accessible from every angle and is a whole...

Very exciting war film, the different attitudes of the Japanese, British and American people are vividly displayed. The British prisoners of war built a bridge for the enemy from a principled point of view and realized their own value, but they did not know that the distant command ordered to secretly blow up the bridge. , the British colonel's first reaction was not to believe that the work was about to be destroyed. The war made everything blurry and absurd, like the madness that the medics...

(8.5/10) David Lean's epic of war. The three perspectives of the United Kingdom, the United States and Japan cut into it, not a satire or criticism of a certain party, but a reflection on the war itself and the individual thinking under the war. Build and destroy, humanity and interests, hostility and peace, and finally transform into a kind of nothingness and absurdity. (Think of "The General", "Path of Glory", "Doctor Strangelove", "The Birds", "Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence", "Achill, God's...

It is vivid and interesting. Except for the Japanese chief who is too superficial, the other characters are completely in line with my expectations. The ending is the best arrangement to accidentally knock down and faint on the lead starter. The principle has made him forget who he is and what he has done. If he wakes up at the critical moment and comes to rescue at the last second, it will lose its...

9.0/10, the 30th Academy Awards is also a big year in history. The Bridge on the River Kwai, The Witness for the Prosecution, and Twelve Angry Men are three classic films that compete for the BP award. Although other films are not as good as these three films, they are still excellent. After watching these three classics, you can understand why Oscar gave the award to this film. The epic grand narrative changed from a single line to a double line and finally back to a single line, plus the...

One of David Lean's master-pieces. If it was me, maybe I would build that bridge, or maybe I would blow up that bridge at all costs. The transformation and distortion of human nature at special moments is a struggle between self and self. It reflects the cultural differences and the differences in the way of thinking between different people in different countries in the face of war. It can be seen from the small to the...
The Bridge on the River Kwai Comments
The Bridge on the River Kwai quotes
-
Colonel Nicholson: Reeves, if this were your bridge, how would you get it underway?
Major Reeves: Get it underway, sir? Well, first of all, I wouldn't build it here.
Colonel Nicholson: Oh? Why not?
Major Reeves: As I was trying to tell you a while ago, sir, the Japanese couldn't have picked a worse location. There's no bottom. You see those piles? They're sinking. Our chaps could drive those piles 'til doomsday and they wouldn't hold.
Colonel Nicholson: *Where* would you build it?
Major Reeves: [pointing] Why, further downstream, sir. Across those narrows. Then we'd have solid bedrock on both banks.

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.
