David Lean "The Bridge on the River Kwai" is such a good movie, and maybe so great, that you don't want to tell people it's a war movie because it means you're going to imply that it's a politically correct, theme Big boring movies that keep people out. There are probably only a few people who really like watching war movies.
However, it has no war scenes, it has plump characters, good-looking plots, and beautiful tropical scenery.
The greatest thing about it is that it presents the absurdity of war in a way that you can't imagine. This absurdity is not reflected in building and blowing up the bridge, but a positive character who sacrifices everything to complete the task. The protagonists of the halo are killed one by one. This kind of ending makes people feel a sense of sigh in the cold scene immediately after the climax of the movie. And this absurd cold scene is the real climax of the film's profound and lasting.

    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 big.

    The Bridge on the River Kwai, built by British prisoners of war, not only failed to show the future generations and the prestige of the British, but instead became a symbol of the absurdity of means and ends, and a symbol of the absurdity and distortion of human nature in the context of war.

The Bridge on the River Kwai quotes

  • Colonel Nicholson: It is quite understandable; it's a very natural reaction. But one day - in a week, a month, a year - on that day when, God willing, we all return to our homes again, you're going to feel very proud of what you have achieved here in the face of great adversity. What you have done should be, and I think will be, an example to all our countrymen, soldier and civilian alike. You have survived with honor - that, and more - here in the wilderness. You have turned defeat into victory. I congratulate you. Well done.
