In my opinion, Bridge Over the River Kwai needs to be removed from the best pictures list. Although a great movie, it is very different from the events that actually took place, minimizes the brutality, and paints the British commander as rather foolish and actually helping the Japanese out. In reality the commander did everything he could to sabotage and delay the construction, and the conditions were horrific, with over 13,000 POWs dying. Even though the British Film Institute praises the film highly, a lot of Brits have issue with the film, and I can see why. I think it would be a good idea to remake the film and be accurate about it. The Japanese wouldn't care to much for that, but history is history. |
