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.

    A three-hour movie with several meanings: compromise (dignity), efficiency, persistence, what is war (how to count victory, you can defeat me; but you can't conquer me), what people live for, and finally spare the war Meaning (no meaning, it does not bring any benefit to people). It turned out that the score was 4 points because the subtitle group used the word "little Japan" in very serious dialogue. Hope to respect the work.

    11.20 The cost of choice is time and effort; the cost of glory is destruction and sacrifice. The "right" dislocation of moral framework and meaning of existence. Obey the turn of vocation. Contradiction, entanglement, and only one outcome can be chosen.

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.
