Why were the Japanese offended by the 1957 movie, The Bridge on the River Kwai?

2gameORnot2game4mE, Can't see Padogdogs comment BUT French author. Producer, screenplay and distribution by Americans. Majority of the actors, director, music, cinematography, editor and production company British. So, yes that does make it a British-American film.

kanasu, I doubt that the Japanese were offended by the lack of detail about how badly they treated prisoners. Ex prisoners and their families may have been, but that wasn't the question.

both glorification and I'll treatment of prisoners not being shown are correct options. options need changing

They weren't concerned about that when they killed our men and women at Pearl Harbor.

Player #3093136, I understand the Japanese were warned before the bombings of both Hiroshima and Nagasaki, but refused to surrender. I’m not sure if the people were told to evacuate. This was a horrible solution, but supposedly saved many lives due to ending the war.

kanasu, They cannot have 2 correct answers in the game

Player #10951381, I'm not justifying war but pearl harbor was a military base. now compare that to Hiroshima.

kanasu, I saw this film when I was younger and didn’t understand it very much. A programme in Discovery Channel made me understand both sides of the argument about the authenticity of the film. A great film, though.

I haven't watched the movie and not even heard about it. But I still got the right answer.

I never heard of it.But the topic seems to be interesting

even the first option is correct

Padogdog, for anything!
