Very humane and thoughtfully written story of POWs, with particular attention given to the contrasting principles of the British colonel and the POW camp commander. Like most good genre films, particular war films, has a main message that differs from its contemporaries. Extraordinarily tense climax, and since I'm a fan of delicious ironies, they just made it all the more better.

Long, slow film about whistling British prisoners of war, who happened to remain remarkably healthy despite no food; I am not sure how my father lost so much weight when he was out there! Apparently, the first attempt to build a bridge didnt meet health and safety standards, and so with true British phlegm, a much better bridge was built, entirely from British stiff upper lips and good ol' British engineering know-how. I must say I liked the cameo of the cast of "It aint half hot Mum" at the end

epik ölçeği aşikar ama "kahramanlık" taslayan ingiliz egosundan ziyade iradesizleştirilmiş "öteki" var problem olarak görülebilecek. gereğinden uzun olduğunu düşündürmesine rağmen nihayetinde neredeyse kusursuz işleyen anlatısına hayran olmamak elde değil. aynı anda militarizme dair sağlıksız ve sağlıklı bakış açılarına okuma olanağı sunması da ayrıca ilgi çekici.

A great and epic film about matters of pride and duty during wartime. That might sound off-putting, but I was surprised to see that these questions are tackled with a lot of nuance and no easy answers. The scope of the production is incredible, and the performances are top-notch. It's a long film that never overstays its welcome and has an ending for the ages.
