(Weird, this feeling is not unfamiliar. I will probably take a good look at my life and be wary of what will happen next time this happens.) The
first time I got off the train back to the River Kwai, I felt strongly absurd. The soundtrack seems to be a mockery of history: it's all over, here is a scenic spot, Buddha and Bodhisattva used to make atonement for pilgrimage, people on vacation, and hopeful villagers; the limbs and bones of the year, the villagers who were killed by water, trembled All of the captive slaves disappeared. Only simple statues and humble museums remind the past. (I have been to a similar war memorial once, but at that time, I was only touched by 1/10 of this movie, which is really only a reminder.) I
felt suffocated almost at the same time where the wet cloth was watered. The door appeared many times before, and even began to suspect that it was sexual assault and humiliation. The final method of punishment is very simple, a piece of cloth and a water pipe. What a simple thing, but you can't get rid of it, you can't move it.
I only know a little about composition and tone, but the picture of this movie feels beautiful like a work of art.

When I watched it for the first time, I really didn't understand why I had to forgive the Japanese in the end. The Japanese army, living in lies, said that the British army should stick to the glory and die. In the end, they really defeated themselves, but they survived. The first meeting many years later was still an excuse to cover up my crimes back then: I did not personally torture you, I am not a soldier but an interpreter. (This is probably my current impression of Japanese war criminals) Angrily went to crusade a person, but he didn't know what he had done wrong, as if he hit the cotton with a punch.
Until the second time, the lovely train lovers at the beginning, created coincidence encounters, beautiful love, really too warm, really worthy of nostalgia.
In the first half of the marriage, the rhythm was a bit fast when the room was empty for the first time, and I couldn't keep up with it for the first time.
