The rhythm in the front is slightly delayed, but then the pace of the plot quickens and interlocks. One of the best in the slave film category

A man's dream is to build a bridge, and in the end his task is to blow it up again, that's what war is all about - madness.
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.
