I watched this movie and wonder why it scores so high??
The movie is about on of the many terrible warcrimes the Japanese commited during WWII, but it portayed.as a fun camping trip with the lads ???\ Those POW's were worked to death just like the Nazi's worked the Jews and many other prisoners to their graves.
In the movie it almost looks fun to be a POW, pranking and joking around a bit.
Kind of an insult to the people who survived it.
Strange thing is that when this movie came out the war wasn't that long ago so a lot of former POW's must have seen it.
Then the stereotypical characters The Brittish (West) are overly brave, arrogant and disciplned and the Japanese (East) are a bunch of idiots in this movie who can't build a bridge, There's no way that a POW acted to cocky and arrogant back than and survied..
In the end it's an oke movie to kill some time, but not historical correct in any way.
