a comedy

1. The scenery is very good, it is indeed like someone commented, like the plot version of a Thai scenery film.
2. The basic logic of the movie is very interesting. For the sake of dignity, the British first resisted and insisted that the officers would not participate in labor, and then strived to be better than the Japanese, showing the advanced nature of Western civilization, and establishing a monument for future generations. The British officers were full of energy, and the soldiers bathed and swam in the river like a holiday.
3. It was a satire on the Japanese. They were completely defeated in the negotiation and fighting, so that they used a certain bullshit war anniversary as an excuse to go down the stairs, and then hid in their room and cried bitterly. It is very similar to the style of the Chinese theme.
4. Four people were sent to blow up the bridge, and one was killed while parachuting, which is especially funny.
5. You don't need him to lead the way, you don't need him to translate, so what do you need him for? How interesting a guy who just escaped was sent back on a mission that didn't require him.
6. The scene of intercepting the Japanese by the stream, startled a beach of gulls and herons, which is very spectacular.
7. The plan has changed, the water level is lowered, and it is exposed on the beach. Only grab the river mud with your hands to cover the wires. In the end, it was the British colonel who discovered the wire. The ending was really tense. How should we end it? ? ?

    The narrative strives to be fair and equal. The conflict between people is well interpreted, so its political correctness can also be forgiven. As for the film's defeat of the Twelve Angry Men and the prosecution witnesses, it can only be said that Oscar is like this.

    Like Apocalypse Now, it is a film that explores war and human nature. Whether it is a so-called military mission or a bullshit order, what is more important than human life? War makes people forget human nature, and only makes people remember hatred, for the sake of winning or losing, and for this, thousands of people lost their lives. How many people can finally wake up like Colonel Nelson and ask themselves, what have I done?

The Bridge on the River Kwai quotes

  • Colonel Saito: [Addressing the prisoners, who are standing in formation] English prisoners... let us ask the question... "Why does the bridge not progress?" You know why. Because your officers are lazy! They think themselves too good to share your burdens! This is not just. Therefore, you are not happy in your work. Therefore, the bridge does not progress. But there is another cause. I do not hide the truth. With deep shame and regret, I admit to you the failure of a member of the Japanese staff. I refer to Lieutenant Mioura.

    Colonel Saito: [points to Lt. Mioura, who looks down with shame] He is a bad engineer! He is unworthy of command!

    Colonel Saito: Therefore, I have removed him from his post. Tomorrow we begin again. I shall be in personal command. Today we rest. All work and no play make Jack a dull boy. As token of regard for your efforts in the future... I give presents to you all!

    Colonel Saito: [the back gate of a nearby truck is dropped down, revealing stacks of packages, Red Cross parcels, etc] Let us be happy in our work. Company, dismissed.

  • 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.
