The Bridge on the River Kwai is a film I somewhat recall from my childhood. My father loved watching old war movies and this one always seemed to be playing in the background. I only ever recalled the ending of it, to a young kid that is the most exciting part! I don't think I was ever able to sit through the film for it's entirety, the themes and pacing was just too much for my young mind to comprehend. I can appreciate it now however.
