The Bridge on the River Kwai

The Bridge on the River Kwai

British prisoners built the Bridge on the River Kwai with pride under the command of the captured officers, which proved that British technology overwhelmed Japanese technology, and would also become the highest pride of the British under the captive's realm and the life of a British officer "changed the world" "Proof, even a little bit.

This is evidenced by the sign they proudly pinned to the bridge when it was built: "This bridge was built by British soldiers between February and May 1943".

The bridge will open up the railway linking Singapore and India for the Japanese army.

In order to stop the Japanese plan, the British sent a contingent to blow up the bridge. After the bridge was built, the British prisoners of war sang "God Save the Queen", which was heard far away to the ears of the contingent lurking at the bottom of the bridge to install explosives. I wonder how they felt when they heard it?

Finally, the captured British officer found the task force that bombed the bridge and tried to stop it at first. After the task force decided to kill him, a mortar stunned him, as if it woke him up in an instant, and he used his own The last force of life fell on the explosive detonator.

"Bang~"

How many wars are absurd and ironic.

    The most powerful anti-war film. At the beginning, I didn't understand why the British officers worked so hard to help the Japanese. See the explanations of the officers to show their understanding. Who can tell the British in the impression that they have aristocratic spirit and are of high quality. Later, when I saw a small group of Americans and British people going to blow up the bridge, I divided these two groups of people from the same camp into similar "populists" and "observing international order, sticking to principles, and enlightened reformers." I thought it was to shoot the confrontation between these two groups. But it was absurd and painful to see the train full of British prisoners of war crashed due to the actions of compatriots. In the end, the British military officer who helped the Japanese repair the bridge suddenly realized that what he did was "helping the evil", which made me feel that the author was exploring whether people in the war should stick to the principle or "populism", or the war. People are stupid. I can see that there is a mixture of five flavors that I don't know how to summarize. The two screenwriters are very good. To write this script, you must have a good understanding of international politics and Japanese culture. I don't understand, but I can see it again. The Japanese, Americans, and the two types of British may be metaphors for international politics.

    Taking history as a mirror, although it shows more individuals, you can also feel the breath of death in World War II through the characters.

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.
