Very classic movie, very outrageous characters

The film is very classic. I watched this film because I wanted to write a thesis on the Thai-Myanmar Highway. The time, background, and story are different, but how you look at it, it feels a bit like the Seven Samurai. Maybe the story structure is very similar, in order not to Those who are concerned with their own affairs, the Seven Samurai are for a village, and the British prisoners of war are for the Japanese soldiers. They tried their best to complete the task. Moreover, there is a certain spirit in supporting them to complete the task. The Seven Samurai is for righteousness, while Nico Elson is for a stupid military honor. When I saw the end of the film, I wanted to shout "crazy!" with the doctor, like the American officer (the fact is just an impostor soldier, but he understands that war is just a joke, and the most important thing is It's a man, how to make people live better On the detonator, otherwise I would have smashed the computer out of anger...how to describe him, the word stupid may be suitable. No matter how charismatic he is, the sense of honor is that This kind of persistence is just inappropriate. And hate the kind of white supremacy promoted in the film. Why does one country in Asia make them fools, and another country acts as a porter and also a harem? Although I understand that the road and bridge built by the little Japan also pose a great threat to China, many of our The compatriots also died tragically in the rainforest, but why let a group of captured British troops humiliate them and let a country that has been losing in the war to proclaim their great power honor on our Asian soil???

    It's good-looking, the scenes are exquisite, the characters are infectious, and the plot is solid, which is not inferior to today's blockbusters with dazzling special effects.

    A very famous film, it portrays a scene where the principled and outdated British are madly lost in the war in Southeast Asia occupied by Japan. The theme is very clear. The people involved in the war are completely irrational, and they are all lunatics in the end.
