    Another David Lean Masterpiece.

    Frankly, if movie directors these days, ( apart from Steven Spielberg), had any true vision of history, movies like this would keep the industry alive and well. Why do not people make great movies like this anymore, leaves me baffled. A great movie, great actors, great location, a movie based on a true story, directed by a genius. What could possibly go wrong.

    A classic movie!

    Although the idea as a whole is erroneous. By that I mean aiding and abetting/assisting the enemy and advancing their construction plan by the POW's leader ordering his troops to help without interference or slowing it by sabotage? Treasonous! He would have been outright killed by his men.

    Great movie I’ve seen it years ago, but I happen to watch it last night and it was even better this time then before I keep saying things I never seen before cause it’s such a long movie. Great movie thanks.

  • Oldie but really goodie..

    Seven Academy Awards, need I say more? Produced when movies were really well done. The sound track will be memorable to some folks. The cast is superlative, especially Alec Guinness. The director, David Lean, did many remarkable films. I'm always delighted to watch his films over and over again.

  • Award Winning Motion Picture

    The Bridge on the River Kwai is a World War 2 action adenture that won seven academy awards in 1958, inciuding best picture (Sam Spiegel) best director (David Lean) and best actor (Alac Guiness) also starring William Holden, Jack Hawkins and Sessue Hayakawa. Screenplay and novel by Pierrre Boulle (who also authored Planet of the Apes). The story is fictional but based on fact, and whereas the actual railway bridge constructed in Thailand during World War 2 incorporated conventional trusses, the wooden bridge in the movie presents an unusual and visually more interesting cantilever design resembling the hsitorically significant Firth of Forth bridge in Scottland. An American escapes from a Japanese prisoner of war camp, but returns with a British Major on a commando raid to destroy this bridge of strategic advantage to the Japanese, the construction of which is led by a British Colonel while also a prisoner, presenting an example of hubris and the ironies of war. Excellent acting and cinematography provide a motion picture on a good quality DVD that continues to entertain by providing an interesting and compelling experience of sights, sounds and spoken words.
