Through a bridge, explore the film of British, American and Japanese national character. The British are arrogant. Even if they are behind bars, hungry and ragged, they still maintain the attitude of a soldier. Because of his arrogance, he refused to bow his head and fought with his life to uphold the principles of the Geneva Convention. Also because of arrogance, even if a bridge is built for the enemy, it must meet the standards of Westerners, and its name will go down in history. The other side of honor, principle, and devotion to duty is rigid, stubborn, and content with reality. Colonel Nelson never thought of running away or resisting, probably not in the Geneva Conventions. Walking on the sturdy and beautiful bridge, the Colonel at this moment is more like the owner of the bridge, refreshed and deeply intoxicated with self-admiration. The bridge not only represents the superb craftsmanship of the British, but also the embodiment of the cohesion and combat effectiveness of the British soldiers, which comprehensively overwhelmed the Japanese, the temporary winner. The Japanese shown in the movie are very negative. They are cruel, weak, and have low IQ. They are completely at a disadvantage in the process of negotiating with the British. One is dressed in a dazzling manner, but the other is sitting upright but dejected. The Japanese behave completely indifferent. The victor's imposing manner, without wisdom, and finally reduced to a follower of the British, it can be said that the Japanese endured the humiliation and begged the British prisoners to help build the bridge. Compared with the Colonel who endured the torture of the little black room and treated him like death, Colonel Saito would only lie on the bed and cry for his own incompetence and shame. This comparison is a bit too revealing. The cutest is the American, who is sleek, bold and practical. Although he is a veteran who hates war, loves to enjoy, and loves to flirt with girls, he is also a warm-blooded man who will never back down and serve the country with loyalty. The American's freedom, reality, flexibility, and personal supremacy made him scoff at the colonel's practice of sticking to his principles rather than death: life is more important than everything else, you must live before you can stick to your principles! The colonel's "axis" penetrated deep into the bone marrow, causing him to lose his mind and judgment at a critical moment, and to reverse the originally happy ending to the result of a bridge bombing and killing people, which is in line with the consistent position of war movies. : In war, there are no winners. Another interesting aspect of the film is the handling of the roles of the United Nations troops, such as the British who insist on their feelings, the rising stars of the United States, the obedient and obedient Canadian little brother, the Thai-Myanmar female porter who makes an outstanding effort and flirts with each other. It can be said that the United Nations performs its own duties. , the status of the country is self-evident.

The Bridge on the River Kwai quotes

  • Commander Shears: I can think of a lot of things to call Saito, but "reasonable"... that's a new one.

  • 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.
