Short Review :-
Watched The Bridge On The River Kwai (1957)
Tactical understanding of filmmaking at its best. David Lean will go down in memory lane for giving some epic war and classy films that were ahead of their time. That doesn't mean he hasn't given non war films but his war films have been universally acclaimed. I have seen many directors and critics now days mentioning this film oftenly in thier speeches and the excitement started building up even more than earlier. The Bridge On The River Kwai is a fine example of tactically brilliant filmmaking. Why i say Tactically? Because you must know, you must understand what are you trying to show in the film and David Lean got all the tactics correct and like never before, never after. The film is visually spectacular but that just doesn't enough for a movie lover but it is about the entire scenerio that makes it a great film. Acting, locations, cinematography, presentation of that particular era everything is top notch and this is how the scenerio is made. It is not arguable that whether the film deserved 7 Oscars or not, but the question is, how far it lives upto the standard of those awards. Well, this one lives upto those standard by every mean. If one would have just gone for the grandeur then The Bridge On The River Kwai might have been even bigger film but it wasn't just about grandeur, it was about handling the Content with care. Overall, The Bridge On The Kwai River is War/AntiWar film that was made to set an example for upcoming films in this genre.
Rating- 8/10*
