I didn't really think it was that complicated.

Isn't the "Bridge on the River Kwai" in 1957 the epitome of the 1956 Zurich Canal Crisis and the Second Middle East War? Why hasn't a film critic mentioned it? Nasser publicly destroyed the Baghdad Treaty Organization established by the United Kingdom, blocked the Suez Canal, and invaded by Britain, France and Israel. The United States also expressed dissatisfaction, but did not directly intervene. "The Bridge on the River Kwai" is not just saying that the front waves of the United States were dragged into a reluctant war and finally shot to death on the beach. The arrogant and dogmatic British finally found that their work was in vain, the enemy was dead, and only their subordinates chose to survive. Isn't that Israel. Damn, what a simple story, I saw various film critics analyze human nature and philosophy incomprehensible. Shit, it's something made by a bunch of anti-war people.

    Behind the twists and turns of the film is Lean's observation of the army, his reflection on war, and his in-depth exploration of human nature. The superb screenwriting skills make the Colonel's image particularly vivid, and the advancement of the story is the process in which all plot characters transfer their own contradictions to him. The final tragedy, which is also the most exciting part of the film, is that when the left and right struggles are concentrated on one person, the conflict of fate and character leads to an inevitable ending.

    After watching it, I was very emotional, but the picture is very emotional

The Bridge on the River Kwai quotes

  • Commander Shears: I'm getting worse, you know. Sometimes I think I'm Admiral Halsey.

  • Colonel Nicholson: Now, there's another important decision that can't be postponed. As most of the British soldiers will be working on the bridge, only a small number will be available for railway work. So, I must ask you, Colonel Saito, to lend us some of your own men to reinforce the railway gang, so that the final stretch of track can be completed as quickly as possible.

    Colonel Saito: I have already given the order.

    Colonel Nicholson: We must fix the daily work quota for your men. At first I thought of setting it at a yard and a half, so as not to overtire them, but don't you think it would be best if we make it the same as the British soldiers? That would also create a healthy competitive spirit.

    Colonel Saito: I have already given the order.
