A Masterpiece!

Rating: 9/10 (25 December 2016)

During World War II, some British soldiers are ordered to surrender to the Japanese. These war prisoners are used to build a bridge across the river Kwai. In the beginning, the commanding officer refuses to do the labor job by the military. He was punished hard for his decision by the Japanese commander. But, the British officer did not change his mind. Later, negotiations take place and under the leadership of the British officer, the bridge was re designed, replace and built.
It is a very interesting movie. Too long but, it is worth watch.
It is hard to believe that this movie was released in 1957. Hats off to the Director David Lean. The cinematographer Jack Hildyard, in Cinemascope made it an amazing visual treat. Music, art, costume and all other departments shine well.
One of the most rated movies. This is a masterpiece. A must watch for all film lovers! #KiduMovie
