Bridge on the River Kwai

This movie has an establishing shot when the prisoners are working and later on when the prisoners marched down to the camp. In this movie, Colonel Saito's, idea was to build the bridge from February to May. Colonel Nicholson (Alec Guiness) keeps mentioning The Geneva Convention. In the movie, Colonel Nicholson's officers were treated badly by Colonel Saito. Nicholson wanted Colonel Saito to treat the officers like gentlemen and would help Saito build the bridge if he becomes nicer. Commander Shear's idea was to destroy the bridge by getting some help from some of the people in Asia. This film uses "Day for night" shooting by using low key and low angle when 3 people sneak to the bridge and put a bomb near the bridge so in the next morning when the train comes in high key, it would be the put when they explode the bridge at the end of the movie.
