This World War II movie has content around the British, Dutch, and Australian prisoners of war... The bridge connects the route from Bangkok (Thailand) to Rangoon (Burma). The tree is also a symbol of the powerful presence of the Japanese army here. After it was completed, the British army tried to find a way to defeat it. The construction background makes people think of a fierce reality. To build the bridge connecting the so-called death road, more than a thousand prisoners and hundreds of thousands of laborers had to die.
