A story of characters

Rating: 5/10 (5 October 2005)

The Bridge on the River Kwai is an up-lifting and moving film centering around the behavior and determination of captured soldiers during the second World War. It is a film about characters more than a film about war. Watching this film gives me a sense of feeling for the characters and hopes that they will succeed. Overall, this film provides some good observations between the relationships that the soldiers and those higher in command (on both sides of the war). This is greatly helped through good acting, and the realistic setting puts everything in to perspective. Overall, The Bridge on the River Kwai is a feel-good film about characters and determination. It is definitely worth a watch.
