The 30th Academy Awards for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Actor, Best Cinematography, Best Score, and Best Editing. An ingenious anti-war film directed by David Lee, with a refined and well-organized narrative, a masterpiece with great artistry and appreciation. The so-called war is a war of national character. One side of the war does not hesitate to use force to impose its national character on another country, and the result must be absurd and meaningless...
The 3 characters in the film successfully shaped 3 A group portrait of national character: 1. Colonel Nelson, full of gentleman and chivalrous spirit, he is polite and indifferent. For the dignity of the British Empire, he can adjust the morale of the troops well, and the ragged British army can walk neatly He was able to fight to the end with the unreasonable demands of the Japanese army with the Geneva Convention for the dignity of the British Empire; also for the dignity of the British Empire, he was able to lead the entire staff to replace the The purpose of the Japanese building the bridge was to demonstrate the efficiency of Western civilization, so that the unyielding spirit of the British Empire would be remembered by the world in the form of a bridge, and even finally prevent the compatriots from blowing up the bridge, which led to the tragedy. 2. The Japanese Army Chief Saito, who was brainwashed by the spirit of Bushido, used military force, abused prisoners of war, and was ready to sacrifice his life for dignity. , pretending to be sick and pretending to be a colonel of the US military; he is optimistic and dashing, flirting with the beauties around him at any time, but in the end he sacrificed himself under the influence of personal heroism, leaving a sentence "It's you" at the last moment of his life
when the nameplate of the bridge was blown away When we drifted in the water, we couldn't help but reflect on what the war brought us and how important honor and dignity are. The world is really like "Madness! Madness!" as medical officer Slimpley said.

    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 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.
