It was my grandpa's favorite and everybody swears by it. I still haven't watched. The premise seems like it goes further than Cool Hand Luke to be a celebration of futility. It also seems to personify that pre-war passive aggressive storytelling where everything is a vaudeville comedy of misunderstandings. I hate that. Could be the film is nothing like what I imagine thoughu
Back then you could say "destined to become a classic" unironically, if someone said that now people would either laugh, or if it was a woke shitskin movie go "uh yeah totally that's definitely true"
Thats the whole point of the movie. It's a condemnation of hard work culture.
Work hard for the enemy. Yea thats real fricking virtue. It always matters what your working towards and you should always agree with the work your doing. Slaves are proud of their hard work because they don't have the agency to choose it.
its kino
we haven't seen it
on god. It needs some Subway Surfers speedrun footage on a split screen
isn't that the one with obi wan from the old movies?
Yes and from my perspective he's the bad guy in this one too
kino.
most zoomers will find it too slow and long
great movie.
boring
I watched at 3x speed and it was still too slow.
Alec is a good friend
Bridge on the river queer
Bridge Over The River Kok was better

The film is nothing like that
why was Obi Wan so autistic about officers not being used in labor
Upper class wasps thought they where to good for everything. Including jail

William Holden was the unsung star of the film.
Absolute kino
super mega kino
more comfy than Lawrence of Arabia but not better
in David Lean Rank id put dr. zhivago 3rd, second Bridge Kwai, first Lawrence.
You gotta have Brief Encounter in there. It's not an epic like the others but it's excellent.
No it's better than Lawrence of Arabia. Peter o'toole can't fricking act he just plays the same foppish queer in every movie.
>the same foppish queer
So, like Lawrence of Arabia.
You're suppossed to be acting not just a doppelganger
When I first watched it I thought Nicholson was right. Now I think he's horribly misguided. Still one of my favorite films.

A LEAN NIGHT
Bridge in the title = instant kino
Best manmade structure aside from towers
Degenerate, boring and treasonous.
you didn't even finish it. And why is it degenerate?
