    When I was a child, I only had a little impression of the part of the bombing bridge, and I felt that the ending was a little rushed, but the portrayal of several main characters was excellent

    I'm afraid to watch this kind of film, I always feel a little sad after watching it

The Bridge on the River Kwai quotes

  • Colonel Saito: [Addressing the prisoners, who are standing in formation] English prisoners... let us ask the question... "Why does the bridge not progress?" You know why. Because your officers are lazy! They think themselves too good to share your burdens! This is not just. Therefore, you are not happy in your work. Therefore, the bridge does not progress. But there is another cause. I do not hide the truth. With deep shame and regret, I admit to you the failure of a member of the Japanese staff. I refer to Lieutenant Mioura.

    Colonel Saito: [points to Lt. Mioura, who looks down with shame] He is a bad engineer! He is unworthy of command!

    Colonel Saito: Therefore, I have removed him from his post. Tomorrow we begin again. I shall be in personal command. Today we rest. All work and no play make Jack a dull boy. As token of regard for your efforts in the future... I give presents to you all!

    Colonel Saito: [the back gate of a nearby truck is dropped down, revealing stacks of packages, Red Cross parcels, etc] Let us be happy in our work. Company, dismissed.

  • Colonel Nicholson: Reeves, if this were your bridge, how would you get it underway?

    Major Reeves: Get it underway, sir? Well, first of all, I wouldn't build it here.

    Colonel Nicholson: Oh? Why not?

    Major Reeves: As I was trying to tell you a while ago, sir, the Japanese couldn't have picked a worse location. There's no bottom. You see those piles? They're sinking. Our chaps could drive those piles 'til doomsday and they wouldn't hold.

    Colonel Nicholson: *Where* would you build it?

    Major Reeves: [pointing] Why, further downstream, sir. Across those narrows. Then we'd have solid bedrock on both banks.
