One of the very best everWay, way up there on my list of the best-crafted movies ever. Every part of it is at the highest level of excellence, as close to perfection as movies ever get. Guinness is amazing and leads a great cast. For all its great size and scope it's never boring, and never loses focus on the characters. Very few directors have made epics as well as Lean -- this and Lawrence of Arabia, holy cow. I've watched them both many times..Score: 5/5

Bridge. On the River KwaiAn absolutely beautiful Cinamascope movie, priding itself of its rich, sweeping. panorama shots; and the best Apple could do was cut off both sides to fullscreen the movie instead of using the full widescreen majesty of the original. Fifteen dollars for a beloved movie---ruined by apple technicians and Apple Corp. wanton greedyness. I want a refund!! And so read my somewhat scathing report before I dug up the bit esoteric information about the hidden little switch in the upper right corner of the movie control screen that sets the movie to play at full-screen or widescreen at choice.

Why this movie is importantGeneral Percivel was the Commander responsible for surrendering commonwealth forces to the Japanese at the end of the Malaya Campaign. 80,000 men were sent into Japanese captivity whereas two thirds survived brutal captivity. When Percivel heard this movie was coming out in 1956 he lobbied against it.

I’m sure this was great in ... 1957Having 1917, Dunkirk in recent memory, I must say I’m spoiled in what the horrors of war can look like. The bridge on the river Kwai is very cliche, including the seven always beautiful Asian women walking barefoot through the jungle carrying all the men’s uniforms, swimsuits, beach towels and shaving equipment for a commando raid.

Britische Kriegsgefangene der Japaner und ihr Kommandant, Colonel Nicholson werden gezwungen, eine Eisenbahnbrücke über den River Kwai zu bauen. Gegen die unmenschliche Behandlung durch den brutalen Colonel Saito setzt Nicholson außergewöhnlichen Mut und Einfallsreichtum. Die Brücke wird für ihn und seine Soldaten zum Symbol des Widerstandes und Überlebenswillens. Zwischenzeitlich hat das britische Oberkommando einen Kommandotrupp beauftragt, diese Lebensader des Feindes zu zerstören.

Türkçe
1943'te Burma'da bir Japon esir kampının komutanı olan Saito, kampa yeni gelen İngiliz Albay Nicholson'dan adamlarına Kwai nehri üzerine bir köprü kurmalarını emretmesini istemektedir. Saito'nun amacı bu köprüyü kullanarak Japon birliklerine cephane taşıma konusunda avantaj sağlamaktır. Saito'nun işkencesine dayanamayan Albay bir süre sonra köprünün emri altındaki mühendisler için de bir moral kaynağı olacağını düşünerek onun isteğini kabul eder. Nicholson düşmanının esiri konumunda da olsa, onun ve adamlarının yapabileceğinden daha iyi bir köprü yaparak onu psikolojik seviyede altetmiş olacağını düşünür. İnşaat ilerledikçe Nicholson köprünün düşmanına avantaj sağlayacağını tamamen unutur ve onu mükemmelleştirmek için elinden geleni yapar...Kwai Köprüsü 1957'de sekiz dalda aday olduğu Oscar'ların yedisini aldı...

Français
En 1943, le colonel Saïto dirige un camp de prisonniers dans la jungle birmane. Il reçoit l’ordre de construire un pont sur la rivière Kwaï et d’y faire travailler les détenus, y compris les officiers, au mépris des conventions internationales. Le colonel anglais Nicholson, capturé à Singapour avec ses troupes, refuse énergiquement de participer au chantier. Saïto pense pouvoir le faire plier en le soumettant à toutes sortes de vexations et de sévices, mais Nicholson tient bon. Son geôlier finit par céder. Nicholson accepte alors, de son plein gré, de prendre la tête des opérations pour montrer aux Japonais de quoi sont capables les soldats de Sa Majesté. Pendant ce temps, un commando américain progresse prudemment vers le site, dans le but de faire sauter l’ouvrage…

Italiano
Nella giungla birmana alcuni ufficiali e soldati inglesi sono prigionieri dei giapponesi. Questi ultimi impongono agli inglesi di costruire un ponte, essenziale per i loro trasporti di guerra. I prigionieri si rifiutano di farlo. Ma in un secondo tempo, il colonnello comandante degli inglesi Nicholson, per dimostrare la propria superiorità, si dedica con i suoi alla costruzione di un ponte imponente, mettendosi per così dire in competizione con gli avversari in una specie di paradossale fanatismo patriottico.

Mas a ponte corre risco porque há um plano Aliado para a destruir e impedir a conclusão do caminho-de-ferro.

Mens britiske krigsfanger tvinges til å bygge en viktig jernbanebro i det japanske invaderte Burma, har en gruppe allierte kommandosoldater fått i oppdrag å sprenge den, i David Leans episke krigsdrama, "Broen over Kwai". "Broen over Kwai" er en fantastisk filmproduksjon, som grep publikum om hjertet og vant syv Oscars, deriblant for beste film, beste mannlige skuespiller (Alec Guiness) og beste regissør. Selv filmens kjenningsmelodi, en gammel fløytemelodi fra 1. verdenskrig, "Colonel Bogey Marchen", ble en kjempehit verden over. "Broen over Kwai" står fremdeles den dag i dag som en av de største filmopplevelsene noen sinne.

Hoci plukovník je spočiatku proti, keď nevidí iné východisko, velí svojim mužom postaviť most. Jeho profesionálna česť mu napriek strategickým vojenským plánom káže postaviť most čo najlepšie. Veliteľ Saito sa zase zžiera myšlienkou, že jeho muži by nikdy nepostavili taký kvalitný most ako Briti. Spojenci pripravujú sabotážnu akciu na most a hoci Nicholson je vojakom verným svojej armáde i krajine, nedokáže sa pozerať na skazu práce svojich vojakov...

Lawrence of Arabia (Restored Version)Action & Adventure1989

One of the screen's grandest epics, this monumental story recounts the true-life experiences of T.E. Lawrence, better known to the world as Lawrence of Arabia. A young, idealistic British officer in WWI, Lawrence (Peter O'Toole) is assigned to the camp of Prince Feisal (Alec Guinness), an Arab tribal chieftain and leader in a revolt against the Turks. In a series of brilliant tactical maneuvers, Lawrence leads fifty of Feisal's men in a tortured three-week crossing of the Nefud Desert to attack the strategic Turkish-held port of Aqaba. And following his successful raids against Turkish troops and trains, Lawrence's triumphant leadership and unyielding courage gain him nearly god-like status among his Arab brothers.

This Happy Breed summary, synopsis, reviews
This Happy BreedDrama1944

David Lean brings to vivid emotional life Noël Coward’s epic chronicle of a working-class family in the London suburbs over the course of two decades. Robert Newton and Celia Johnson are surpassingly affecting as Frank and Ethel Gibbons, a couple with three children whose modest household is touched by joy and tragedy from the tail end of the First World War to the beginning of the Second. With its mix of politics and melodrama, This Happy Breed is a quintessential British domestic drama, featuring subtly expressive Technicolor cinematography by Ronald Neame and a remarkable supporting cast including John Mills, Stanley Holloway, and Kay Walsh.

Blithe Spirit summary, synopsis, reviews
Blithe SpiritComedy1945

Blithe Spirit, David Lean’s delightful film version of Noël Coward’s theater sensation (onstage, it broke London box-office records before hitting Broadway), stars Rex Harrison as a novelist who cheekily invites a medium (Margaret Rutherford) to his house to conduct a séance, hoping the experience will inspire a book he’s working on. Things go decidedly not as planned when she summons the spirit of his dead first wife (Kay Hammond), a severe inconvenience for his current one (Constance Cummings). Employing Oscar-winning special effects to spruce up Coward’s theatrical farce, Blithe Spirit is a sprightly supernatural comedy with winning performances.
