    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...

    British national character self-criticism

    Since the beginning of the 20th century, Britain's performance on the international stage can be summarized as suffering for face and feces. After two world wars, the empire on which the sun never sets finally collapsed, but it still remains stubborn to this day. The arrogant attitude can be seen...
