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...

I was greatly shocked by the profound themes, the sharp metaphysical conflicts, the exquisite framing, the personalized characterization, the terrifying human choices at the end and the high-speed tension of the plot. It is really a gorgeous historical...

War has swallowed the heart and madness has replaced rationality, but under the rhythm of the classic narrative, this profound theme is both solemn and humorous. The protagonists’ portrayal is full and three-dimensional, and the placement of several important supporting roles is extremely well placed. The environment and the characters reflect each other and write together. Out of disorderly...

I like the narrative that I'm talking about, but I'm too inclined to my own faction just like the movie of the celestial dynasty. I always feel that something is missing, it's probably an...

Really. The epic film looks better than the more famous "Lawrence of Arabia". Jiang Wen's "The Devil Is Coming"'s idea of becoming a captive master actually came from here, which pales in comparison. Its inclusiveness comes from chanting that human nature has commonality, and it also recognizes the eternal fate that various values cannot understand each other, those murderous intents shaking in the jungle, the silhouette of the bridge under the sunset, and the ultimate masterpiece of vision...

The length of the film is slightly longer, but the whole structure is complete, and it still seems to be a very good film. The subtitles and soundtrack in the film are very similar to the movie of that era. There are no pros and cons in the film. The images of the three soldiers from different countries have their own characteristics. They change the heavy theme of the anti-war film. They are thought-provoking in the relaxed plot, and the thoughts are sharp and profound. At the same time, it is...

The most powerful anti-war film. At the beginning, I didn't understand why the British officers worked so hard to help the Japanese. See the explanations of the officers to show their understanding. Who can tell the British in the impression that they have aristocratic spirit and are of high quality. Later, when I saw a small group of Americans and British people going to blow up the bridge, I divided these two groups of people from the same camp into similar "populists" and "observing...

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.
