"600 years? 600 years that would be quite something"......Col. Nicholson likes the idea of a bridge of his building standing as monument to his psychological victory over his captor col. Saito.
Like Lawrence...it looks stunning with the jungle and prison camp both forbidding and arduous. The lush greens set off against the blue sky and a lovely sequence tracking the demo squad through huge bamboo and frolicking in waterfalls was memorable.
Overall i found it to be more enjoyable than Lawrence.... with it moving along at a better pace and a more interesting dynamic between the characters but does drag a little in places especially the 3rd act. A lovely piece of filmmaking though that i can appreciate even all these years later.
