A very good film, a reflection on the so-called "military honor", which can also be regarded as an irony to the British spirit, contradictory human nature in war, as Major Clipton shouted at the end: Madness! Madness!

It's a pity, maybe because of the times The reason is that the film strongly hints at the superiority of the white people: the indomitable British officers and soldiers who are not afraid of life and death; the young and beautiful indigenous girls who are full of admiration for the British and American soldiers (including the uncles) ... and the cruel and stupid Japan Man, the funniest part is the broadcast: This is Radio Tokyo signing off. This is your friendliest enemy, reminding you to take it easy, and never volunteer for anything... If this is the main theme of the ministry, that's all, the limitations of the times Ah, the limitations of the times...

    Behind the twists and turns of the film is Lean's observation of the army, his reflection on war, and his in-depth exploration of human nature. The superb screenwriting skills make the Colonel's image particularly vivid, and the advancement of the story is the process in which all plot characters transfer their own contradictions to him. The final tragedy, which is also the most exciting part of the film, is that when the left and right struggles are concentrated on one person, the conflict of fate and character leads to an inevitable ending.

    After watching it, I was very emotional, but the picture is very emotional

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.
