Needless to say, "The Bridge on the River Kwai" was filmed in 1955 and won seven Oscars including Best Picture, Actor, Director, Screenwriter, Editing, and Score. To put it simply, this is a "prisoner of war film", a war film, a patriotic film... To put it simply, it is a story about building a bridge and blowing up a bridge. Director David Lean, filmed "Oliver Twist", "Lawrence of Arabia" and "Doctor Zhivag". I remember a time when we were discussing movies at lunch, and Ms. Yan said that she hated stylized movies, such as Wong Kar Wai. I thought, what kind of movie must she be guaranteed to like? Well, The Shawshank Redemption and The Bridge on the River Kwai. The charm of this kind of film is that you can watch it many, many times, recommend it to many people, and you can scrutinize whether it is the plot, the performance, or even the photography and music, all of which are safe and impeccable. There is a good, how to describe it? The good ones have no features. "The Bridge on the River Kwai" is.
The lack of features is not a disadvantage.
I won't tell the story, just a few recommendations: Japanese general Saito is a highlight, you can hate the Japanese, you can scold the bastard's Bushido spirit, but the Bushido spirit supports a Japanese tendon, don't criticize it, as long as Just admit it exists. Second, Don Quixote in the Japanese prisoner of war camp - Colonel Nelson, a British prisoner of war. This is an officer with chivalrous spirit to his bones. He has stubborn persistence. Whether he can work without the army, or the monument in his heart that "the bridge was built by British officers and soldiers", it is his journey and his thin horse. Don Quixote, who eventually died off the battlefield with his monument.
Watching a movie should see the story, but also the people. There is no doubt that Colonel Nelson is the soul of the Bridge on the River Kwai.
