The Quest for Glory in the Film, The Bridge Over The River Kwai

In Firlm Guilin Bridge seeking glory "Although found for glory, short break: breathing returns him to life, or blows down ..." The glory of Alexander Pope is at best the unstable Alexander Pope. A person desperately seeking glory can only find it by passing it, and in the process of pursuing it, it can actually be consumed by it and destroyed in this way. In the movie "Guihe Bridge", Colonel Nicholson is the most representative of the role of glory, but also has a short victory.

A bridge over the Kwai River. This movie is about Prisoners of Britain and the US captured by Japanese during the Second World War and forced to build a bridge over the Kwai to accommodate the Nihon Siam Railway. Initially the prisoners planned to destroy the construction of the bridge and did not complete construction on the scheduled day. For this decision, the Japanese army forced British officers to work hard at all times.

The bridge connecting Bangkok and Myanmar - Yangon along the Siam Railway needs to cross over the Kwai River. This task was completed in 1943 by the Japanese POW camp in Myanmar. This camp is managed by Colonel Saito. Prisoners in this camp were mainly British soldiers led by Colonel Nicholson. Prisoners must work in the hot dawn of the jungle to fight against malaria, dysentery, beri-beri, and the jungle at dusk. It took only six months to complete the bridge. The bridge will be completed in six months. On the day the first train was about to cross it, force 316 assembled it to blow up. Colonel Nicholson found a plan to blow up the bridge a few minutes before the train arrived. The British army of 316 troops ordered to blow up the bridge, trying to tell Nicholson Colonel that they are British soldiers, but he did not listen.

You will receive many fair warnings about "Bridge" (Kwai River). The train first stops at a tourist spot around Kanchanaburi - bridge. If you want to visit the Federal War Memorial Cemetery, museum, hotel in Kanchanaburi for the first time, you should go to the front of the bridge. However, the train turns and stops at the station of the Kwai River bridge in front of the bridge itself. If you expect it to be a wooden bridge over a brown river in a steep canyon, you have to look at this movie a couple of times. The movie is actually in Sri Lanka, the bridge was specially constructed for the movie. Movie makers believe that the background of the actual bridge does not have a dramatic appeal
