Review of The Bridge on the River Kwai (1957) by Lucas Q — 09 May 2008
I have liked this film a lot since my first viewing when I was young and the amazing qualities of this epic David Lean film have stuck with me. Alec Guinness is larger than anything as he stands against the inhumane treatment of his soldiers and officers and more so for the upholding of order even the desertedness of the jungle.
William Holden as well does an excellent job even if it is the weakest part of the strong overall story. The music maybe a bit conventional as well, but it is so gosh darned memorable I can?t help but love it.
And of course, the amazing cinematography for which Lean pictures are known for makes this a visual masterpiece to behold as well.
