    Mining the contradictions and conflicts of war from a special angle. The blockbuster directors are all male soldiers. According to the Geneva Treaty, officers do not perform drudgery. This British officer is really dead-headed by Don Quixote. Even though he is a prisoner of war, he is so hard-hearted that he is also dead-headed when he reaches the Japanese soldiers. As a result, the British army helped the Japanese army build the bridge and the American army came to blow up the bridge, which was a waste of money and people. The result is that the sleek and the rigid are dead.

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.
