Nicholson is obsessed with construction, and Colonel Wharton angrily destroys the Bridge on the River Kwai - the redemption of Lawrence on the Bridge on the River Kwai. I thought Nicholson had his own plan to escape from the shell, but I didn't expect it to be a complete idiot. It was a unique anti-war movie. Rather than criticizing the cruelty and absurdity of war, David Lean spent so much money to make a dark humorous joke about pedantic British officers. The texture of the film is excellent,...

10/10 points. Watch the blu-ray version. The whistle is nice. The drama between the British officers and the Japanese devils is excellent. The 1957 film, which is a full 60 years ago, has a description of human nature that kills how many bad films in the current Chinese dynasty. ....

1958 Oscar, Golden Globe. The bridge in the original novel was not bombed under the protection of the British colonel; as part of the Japanese "Death Railway", the railway bridge identified as the "Bridge on the River Kwai" in reality (seems to be a concrete and steel structure rather than the wood in the film) structure) still exists today, and under the bridge is actually the Mekong River. The ending of the film is too dramatic, and the expression of the cultural psychology of all parties in t

The brisk whistle of Colonel Bogey March, the innocent smile of a Burmese woman, the deep suffering firmly anchored in the land, the sense of honor and shame flowing in her blood, and the incompatibility of their respective sorrows. The birds fluttered in shock, mocking the humans indifferently: "Look at what you have done", the military doctor who symbolized healing and salvation roared: "Crazy,...

Because it was mentioned in TopGear's Myanmar special, I thought of turning it over and watching this famous old film. It's been 57 years and it's still shocking to watch it for the first time. The multi-faceted nature of human nature is vividly reflected in Nixon and the prisoners of the US...

Although it is old, this film is very realistic. It shows the complex human nature of all parties in the war around a bridge, making the classic level of this film unfading and extremely heart-wrenching until the climax at the end! Colonel Nixon is a typical Stockholm syndrome!...

Madness, Madness... Madness!
I have admired the name for a long time. The first time I knew it was when I was in middle school when I saw the introduction picture of a movie magazine. At that time, I thought it was a war movie revolving around Seizing the Bridge, and I mistakenly thought it was an American movie.
It has been...
The Bridge on the River Kwai quotes
-
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.

Colonel Nicholson: Hughes, if this were your bridge, how would you use the men?
Major Hughes: [chuckles] Well, sir, not the way they're doing it. It's utter chaos, as you can see at a glance. It's a lot of uncoordinated activity; no teamwork. Some of those parties are actually working against each other.
Colonel Nicholson: Yes... I tell you, gentlemen, we have a problem on our hands. Thanks to the Japanese, we now command a rabble. There's no order, no discipline. Our task is to rebuild the battalion.
Major Reeves: Yes, sir.
Colonel Nicholson: It isn't going to be easy, but fortunately we have the means at hand: The bridge.
Major Hughes: "The bridge," sir?
Colonel Nicholson: The bridge. We can teach these barbarians a lesson in Western methods and efficiency that will put them to shame. We'll show them what the British soldier is capable of doing.
Major Hughes: Yes, I see your point, sir.
Colonel Nicholson: I realize how difficult it's going to be in this god-forsaken place where you can't find what you need, but there's the challenge.
Major Evans: I beg your pardon, sir. You mean you really want them to build a bridge?
Colonel Nicholson: You're not usually so slow on the uptake, Evans. I know our men. You've got to keep them occupied. The fact is, if there weren't any work for them to do, we'd invent some, eh, Reeves?
Major Reeves: That we would, sir.
Colonel Nicholson: So we're lucky. But it's going to be a proper bridge. Now here again, I know the men. It's essential that they should take a pride in their job. Right, gentlemen?
Major Hughes: [All officers in unison] Yes, sir.
Colonel Nicholson: Reeves, you're the key man in this situation, as engineer. Tell me what you want, and Hughes and I will organize it. What do you think? Can we make a go of it?
Major Reeves: We'll do our best, sir.
Colonel Nicholson: Fine. We must draw up our plans... then arrange a conference with Saito... and set him straight.
