Jiang Wen must be able to shoot well. After all, he likes "The Bridge on the River Kwai" too much, and these two stories are too similar in purpose. There are many places in the final film that pay tribute to "The Bridge on the River Kwai", or the shadow of this film...

Japanese prisoner of war camp: The bridge was built together, and the relationship between the Japanese army and the prisoners of war was transformed into workmates. Japan, the United Kingdom, the United States, and the three countries have their own national characteristics. The last beautiful bridge of the story stands

Volunteer POW Camp: To host the Olympics together, the relationship between volunteers and prisoners of war has been transformed into referees and athletes. Chinese, Korean, American, Italian, British... The last beautiful medals and prizes in the story.

Looking forward to director Jiang Wen

    This is probably the best war movie. The final scene reminds me of Borderlands, the death of the three main characters, leaving only the doctor representing the Red Cross nabbing the madness over and over again.

    Very exciting war film, the different attitudes of the Japanese, British and American people are vividly displayed. The British prisoners of war built a bridge for the enemy from a principled point of view and realized their own value, but they did not know that the distant command ordered to secretly blow up the bridge. , the British colonel's first reaction was not to believe that the work was about to be destroyed. The war made everything blurry and absurd, like the madness that the medics kept repeating at the end. Several scenes of the movie braking in silence are very exciting, Holden has become the funny person in this film~

The Bridge on the River Kwai quotes

  • Colonel Saito: Let me remind you of General Yamashita's motto: be happy in your work.

  • Major Hughes: Jennings has a plan, sir. He seems to think...

    Colonel Nicholson: Yes, I'm sure Jennings has a plan. But escape? Where, into this jungle? That fellow Saito was right: no need for barbed wire or fence, one chance in a hundred of survival. I'm sure a man of Commander Shears' experience will attest to that.

    Commander Shears: I'd say the odds against a successful escape are about 100 to one. But may I add another word, Colonel? The odds against survival in this camp are even worse.
