So today I watched Kôji Morimoto/Tensai Okamura/Katsuhiro Ôtomo's 'Memories' as well as the film 'The Bridge on the River Kwai'.
Memories: The movie is composed of three different shorts that have nothing to do with each other, this shorts being Magnetic Rose, Stink Bomb and Cannon Fodder (each one being directed by.... you get the point). Each one of this "shorts" is pretty good on it's own way, each one having awesome music, storytelling, and animation. However, if had to choose a favorite among all three, that one would be "Magnetic Rose", mostly because I enjoyed it's spooky atmosphere.
On a side note, Spoiler: Sakiko (the protagonist of Stink Bomb) is easily the most retarded protagonist I've seen on any work of fiction. Seriously, his complete lack of common sense is beyond outstanding. I know that was intentional because otherwise the story would have ended a lot sooner, but still...
The Bridge on the River Kwai: David Lean's direction is tight and evocative. The cinematography is great. The acting is top-notch. Sessue Hayakawa is highly sympathetic and believable. William Holden and Jack Hawkins round out the cast nicely.
The musical score is also right on. Simply put, -Kwai- is an excellently constructed film made by people who obviously cared a great deal about it. As a result, the viewer comes to care a great deal about it as well.
