    David Lean's films have always been in the style of swallowing water. Although the film is relatively atmospheric as a whole, there are still many unreasonable things this time. For example, the Japanese officer told the British prisoners of war that if they did not complete the bridge, they would commit suicide, and the Japanese army treated them. The British army was also too polite. The people who died were basically because of the weather, and they were suspected of beautifying the Japanese...

    The 4K restoration of the Film Archive, an absolute masterpiece. It was a great experience to hold your breath and be nervous and anxious with hundreds of people at the last moment; at first I thought it was the main cultural collision, but in the second half, it was quietly sublimated, and human nature was gradually distorted in the war, until it completely violated the self. another self. All this is truthfully told under the calm and gentle lens of David Lean, without sensationalism, but so...

    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...

    The forgotten "person"

       A film that can be "fascinating" can never be without conflict. "The Bridge on the River Kwai" is no exception.

        The opening of the movie is straightforward. It seems to be a conflict between the Japanese army and the captured British army. Savage or civilized, this is a problem....

    Bridge on the River Kwai

    Colonel Nicolson's outlook on life is worth exploring. As a soldier, he does not have national interests in his heart. When the young soldier Joyce told him that the British army had sent a small team to blow up the Bridge on the River Kwai, he suddenly realized that what he was doing was actually...

The Bridge on the River Kwai quotes

  • Colonel Saito: A word to you about escape. There is no barbed wire. No stockade. No watchtower. They are not necessary. We are an island in the jungle. Escape is impossible. You would die.

  • Commander Shears: You mean, you intend to uphold the letter of the law, no matter what it costs?

    Colonel Nicholson: Without law, Commander, there is no civilization.
