The Bridge on the River Kwai

The Bridge on the River Kwai

Not good-looking, the British theme film.

The plot is ridiculous. The Japanese asked the British prisoners of war to build the bridge, but they didn't do it. The Japanese couldn't do anything about it, so they let them go, and they built it.

Japanese officers, as swordsmen, were utterly weak.

The British and Americans are obviously prisoners of war, but they are all portrayed as HERO bullshit.

This film caters to British and American audiences too much. Considering that the filming took place shortly after the war, it is indeed understandable that it is difficult to beautify the Japanese, but the excessive beautification of the British and Americans has also lost the balance that they should have.

    Director Lean once said that his film "painfully but eloquently illustrates the absurdity and destructiveness of war." This "absurdity" and "destruction" is not only manifested in poisoning living things and violent things, but also manifesting in the distortion of human nature and the deterioration of national character. Especially this latter point, in fact, it is exactly one of the main intentions of the film's creation, which reflects the director's deep cultural reflection on the British nation.

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.
