this movie be one of the most wildly distorted portrayal of history . horribly inaccurate and this movie do nothing to honor the hundred of thousand of dutch and british and chinese and american and indigenous enslave laborer that the sadistic japanese kill and torture to death . the bridge be to be build over the body of the white man a state by the head japanese engineer . it be disgust that such unspeakable horror commit by the japanese captor be the source of a movie and where the bridge itself and isn not even close to accurate to the actual bridge . the actual bridge be build of steel and concrete and not wood . what of the survivor who be still alive today . they hate the movie and all that it be suppose to represent . their friend be starve and torture and and murder by cruel sadist . those that do not die of dysantry and starvation and or disease be deeply hurt by the movie that make such light of their dark time .
