    You can see why Guinness won the Oscar. The Monologue on the bridge reflecting on his life sealed the deal for him.

    I just watched this for the first time. I loved the scene where they plant the charges. Having the Japanese footsteps in the Atmos channels and moving around back and forth from left and right is really incredible. I missed a couple seconds of the actual movie because I was enamored with the directional audio

    Another epic movie by the late Great Director David Lean, like Lawrence of Arabia he also directed Dr Zhivago.
    Unfortunately with modern technology, these epic moves aren't being made with real world locations. Sad!

      It was shot on 35mm Cinemascope, i‘d say it was not blown up to 70mm because the Cinemascope process is a bit tricky to copy on another filmstock. Since lawrence was shot on 70mm, it is of course much better looking.

    I had the dvd and I thought that was good and I bought this 4k because I heard rave reviews. Now I like that you mention the flaws on this 4k. I don't understand how you give rave reviews for a transfer that has flaws. On VHS it looks fine and also on laserdisc. I would not recommend buying this.

    The film and the script is a complete load of bollocks. It was a truly inaccurate summary of the horrors endured by POW's building the Burma Railway.
    All POW's that I knew totally condemned the story, and regarded it as total fiction and an insult to their brutal captivity under the Japanese.
    The bridge depicted in the film was one built adjacent to Songkurai camp that was situated on the banks of a swift flowing river, the Huai Ro Khi. 😠
