this movie be profound and disturbing and and most of all and inspire . i continue to be amaze at man inhumanity to man and and equally amaze at how some men rise above all of that to live and die with integrity . this be the true story of pow in wwii . it will change you and challenge you . everything about it be excellent screenplay and direction and acting and production value and commentary . but be forewarn . it brutal . this story be originally produce a bridge on the river kwai and but this be the true version . the original be change and sanitize . i be especially touch by the several scene near the end where character reach their natural conclusion and and by the postscript and which bring the viewer to the present . this film be worth watch several time .
