The only thing a man wouldn't do for his country

Rating: 10/10 (16 November 2001)

I've seen the movie on TV yesterday and I remembered to write my opinion about it. This film is (as everybody know) a master-piece, it's about the true feelings of soldiers. I think that the story is mainly based in visual effects like the jungle, the wonderful beaches and waterfalls but above all this story has a great script based in one of Pierre Boulle's master-pieces. In the movie we can see some great dilemmas such as Joyce's doubt about his ability to kill when needed; Saito's respect for Nicholson vs. wish to complete the bridge (and avoid hara-kiri); the final scene when Nicholson understands what I has done to his compatriots and then even death he completes their mission. I thing that no one can forget this story but if that happens, it will came back in a flash anytime someone starts whistling Bogey.
