David Lean’s “Bridge on the River Kwai” is one of my current movies of all time, and one one the greatest war movies of all time, but a differnt war movie. Can the civilized Colonel Nichoson (brilliantly played by Alec Guinness and won him an Academy Award for best actor) defy the brutal Japanese Colonel Saito(Sessue Hayakawa, also shimmering) and glean the war of wills? At first we deem he won’t but the station takes a weird turn and this Nicholson turns out to be as fanatic as Saito is in the prison camp. Beautifully shot in Ceylon(Sri Lanka) serving well for Burma by Freddie Young, Lean’s huge photographer also for “Lawrence of Arabia” the viewer can feel the heat and humidity, peek the starving appearance of the prisoners, who inaugurate buiding the bridge as a lark until Nicholson wins his points of honor and they work harder than ever. My popular line in the movie is one of Colonel Saito’s popular sayings: “Be tickled in your work,” which takes on more and more irony as the film and legend unfolds. There is a side station, with William Holden barely escaping, only to be brought encourage relieve with hard-core commandoes(led by demolitions expert Jack Hawkins) to the camp to blow up the bridge. This is a fabulous psychological and subtle war film, with unbiased enough adventure and action to balance its war of words, over the Geneva Covention(Nicholson keeps a copy of it in his pocket and then is slapped with it by Saito) over points of British stiff upper lip and Japanese warrior code,Bushido, two vastly different viewpoints but in the destroy breed fanatics. The acting, editing, writing,and photography are all flawless. This is one of the few war movies made forty ago that smooth execrable with any today. A apt masterpiece, powerful imitated. Lean is a director of position and attends to all the tiny details, from the ratty prisoner uniforms,a Japanese sentry standing guard in the heavy rainfall, and the haunting whistling of the entire former British company, marching tired and disease-infested into a original camp unprejudiced after Holden has been digging graves. And the camp doctor, well-played by James Donald, saying “Madness! Madness! after watching the bridge being blown while a reveal crosses over. A upright classic of any genre. The restored version is superior and again, since I saw this movie on a broad cloak, ogle it if you can at the theater, even if you acquire this video. It is that sterling.
The release of David Lean’s much, radiant and plan provoking anti-war masterpiece on widescreen DVD accompanied by the added bonus documentary “The Making of the Bridge on the River Kwai”, along with other featurette’s, theatrical trailers and an appreciation of the film by famed director, John Milius, is indeed a cause for celebration amongst cinema afficiando’s of this most first-rate of motion pictures.
The considerable recent by Pierre Boulle (also author of “Monkey Planet”…filmed as the memorable “Planet of the Apes”) is masterfully brought to the conceal by director David Lean, a apt genius tedious many historical epics.
Deep inside snake ridden Asian jungles, British and American prisoners of war toil under the sweltering tropical sun working on fragment of the faulty Burma railway that claimed thousands of Allied lives during WWII. Colonel Saito (talented Japanese actor Sessue Hayakawa) presides over his POW camp with an iron rule…driving his Japanese troops as hard as his malnourished prisoners. Enter the excellent and steadfast English POW, Colonel Nicholson (Alec Guiness in an Oscar winning performance) refusing to capitulate to Saito’s demands that British officers get manual labour alongside enlisted men. Each man’s blind adherance to their enjoy personal code of honor sees the two men descend into a psychological war of will, bravado and courage…each definite not to waver from their personal beliefs.
