The acting was incredible! This movie was phenomenal.... I have no words other than thank you for your sacrafice and thank you for your service!
An absolutely heart wrenching movie, I'm 79 and I cried like a baby, to think that this actually
happened humbles me,some great character acting.
Be well
Me too
Robert Carlyle is a fantastic actor that deserves as much praise for his ability, never saw him in a bad thing.
Yes he is.. we could cuddle and watch this together ☺️
Hitler the Rise of Evil..
Truly good performance but a seriously bad subject.
Dam the powers that be to allow all this sadness and still don’t learn…
Love and respect to all ❤🙏
❤ Om Mani Peme Hung ❤
This movie is in a class of it's own. So good, so realistic, so balanced. There's nothing good about war
Astounding film. Gut wrenching. Heart wrenching. The end had me sobbing like I haven't cried over a movie in years.
Thank you so much for sharing this for free.
i cried also true accounts must never be forgotten
And I as well. Heart breaking.
Boooooooooooooooooring!

Hitler was serving as runner/messenger in the German Army or the Vermach during World War I, the War to end all wars. He confront and fought his American enemy Harry S. Truman at the Western Front trenches. Harry S. Truman was fighting with his large Cleaver which Suddenly landed on Hitler’s penis and chopped it off. Hitler was then no longer a True man but a “Dragged Queen!” looking like Colonel McQueen who no longer wearing pants but the Scottish skirts. The results were there was no World War II. That is what I will call “Cleaver Sudden landed by Hairy Ass True Man” and “To End All Wars!” Not to be confused with actor Kiefer Sutherland.,?!!,!,,;;
I have no words but Thank God for those that stood up and won WWII for our freedoms we have today.
What freedoms? Please enlighten me!
Where is freedom?
Without the Anglo-Saxons we would not have had either World War One nor World War Two, both wars have been planned in the second half of the 19th century. They also planned back then the third World War which is supposed to happen in the Middle East. Watch as events are unfolding now.
it is all being thrown away by globalist elite who are destroying our western country's right now! for globalist agendas' Europe is already lost and so will US very soon.
those freedoms won are just being given away by the democratic policies to appease dangerous ideologies and evil countries
All i can say is WOW, what a heart felt movie about the struggles of pow's during Japanese occupied lands, but to see those two come together in a token of friendship and peace gives me hope for mankind
For all who survived or died in these camp's, I thank you for your courage and sacrifice.
Truly an amazing effort under such cruelity.
Thank you Mr Watts, an inspiration to me and the family.
😔
At the end watching the greatest generation marching ,these men still had pride…you can see that in their faces ❤️🙏
This was brilliant! A really good portraying of WW2 Japanese war camps if not toned down for audiences. The atrocities were extreme and indeed horribly terrible. The bravery and humanity of those POWs is so wonderfully shown in here. A salute to all WW2 veterans including my granddad who raised me. Thank you for your sacrifice.
The men are fat,pows were not fat.My father was there.
“What about you, sir. What are you going to do after the war?” “Start preparing for the next war.” Exactly. Wise words.
Aside from The Passion, hardest movie I have ever seen...just cried and cried...the brotherly love, greatest of all gifts! I pray for brotherly love amoung men
Incredibly moving and inspiring film. Philosophy, religion, and ethics are all given a completely new dimension through it. What destiny, what fate, what incomprehensible hardships suffered and depicted masterfully! It's an unforgettable and humbling experience to view this film.
The Bible teachings in this movie are awesome and truth.
This is all about compassion, foregiveness and what Jesus Christ thaught.
Such a powerfull movie.
I seldom cry watching non Christian movies but this one i did.
Praise the Lord GOD Allmighty!
🙏🏻❤
Excellent movie a must watch if doesn’t touch your heart your already dead or it’s turned to stone. All respect to those men who endured and overcame.
There was a cross before the crown.. Amazing grace
Wow. It's been such a long time that a movie had me captivated from the very beginning. One would hope to find meaning in the suffering of EVERY individual represented. Two thumbs up. Thank you for sharing such a wonderful movie with us. By far the best 2 plus hours I've spent in a long time.
I have no words... the world is facing to many conflicts and wars right now, and no solutions in sight. If only we humans could finally find peace in ourselves and the strength to forgive, instead of the power to destroy.
Overwhelming emotion portrayed by great actors.😪
To those who served, fought and sacrificed, may GOD bless you and your families.
This is a powerful message about inhumane treatment and atrocities, vs forgiveness, sacrifice and how everyone, regardless of rank, deals with trying to survive.
May GOD bless.

Incredible depiction of what war offered to those who were captured. Very well done on all the actors involved in this film. 😔🙏🇨🇦💯
This is an obvious, clear, certain distortion, false depiction, False portrayal, False narratives of the actual events.
The death of Dusty Miller is a clear, obvious, certain, absolute distortion of the death any Japanese Imperials would have executed, including the obvious, clear, certain, absolute distortion of the death of their "Chirxstian" God, Jesus. The actual common public hanging of the bodies the Romans killed, executed were done prior to the hanging, not that they died on the posts as depicted here and common distortion of reality within the "Chirxstian" "Doctrine".
Also, the "Allied" bombers would never have dropped bombs on the POW camp either.
This motion picture is another within the intentionally distorted versions of WWII, and specifically against the Imperial Japanese with the numerous distortions, misconceptions,, portrayals, narratives along with the British Army and misrepresentation of the existence of The Geneva Convention and The Hague which only were formed post WWII.
Add the common misrepresentations, misconceptions, falsehood about, within the "Chirxstian" 'Religion', "Doctrine", False God, their Jesus, etc.
Add the obvious, clear distortion of Major with his distorted mindset, views, perspectives, perceptions, actions and revenge upon the Japanese commander atthe end, which managed, according to this depiction to accomplish inDOCtrinated 'Honor' to kill himself, rather than be killed by his enemy that had bound him, intending to kill him with massive pre-torture.

War is Hell
I been there
My father fought the Japanese in World War II at Guadalcanal in the Solomon Islands.
He was awarded the Bronze Star for his service.
From the little He shared, he always said that the Japanese soldiers were mean and cruel.
My grandfather fought in the Pacific, he said the Japanese were brutal and no one wanted to be captured by them so they fought so hard.
@@TheLeadSled God bless you and your family.
@@TheLeadSled bless your grandfather's heart.
So were many Americans. War does that to normal ethical people.
@@normanbraslow7902 Agreed, but the Japanese were beyond normal and I do not have to speak regarding the Germans.
This was a great role by Robert Carlyle, & this actually happened, building the Thai/Burma railway, & so many people suffered, the Japanese were very cruel to the p. o. w. 's in their custody, & I hope & pray that this never happens again, the Australians suffered, & the many allies that served in this horrible war, Lest We Forget.
My great Grandfather worked on this railway. Very heartbreaking to see this.

My grandfather served in world War 1 and at his funeral had the bag pipes played for him being a military veteran myself it was very moving
This was a great movie. Very powerful and moving.
Interesting powerful film, you never hear much about this film when war films are discussed. The message was very powerful. Robert Carlyle was a class act throughout.
Great actor..even though he played a stupid shite .
Rarely ever do I find the time to see a movie but this one had my attention! One of the best ever I viewed.❤
Saw this movie in a cinema, and overjoyed because I now can watch it again.
From 2,000 yrs. ago, "Only the dead have seen the end of war!"
The horror’s of war are never felt by the men who start them only by those who feel a duty to end wars.
There is no glory in sudden death... and no one wins a war...

End war by killing? Never work. That is the hell fire.
The Power of forgiveness and mercy is the ultimate lesson of this film....and it is only given by the ones who have been forgiven first ...THIS IS THE GOSPEL OF OUR SAVIOR AND LORD... War only shows our true nature as humans, but also our unending capacity to be changed forever!

An absolutely beautiful movie. Forever unforgettably beautiful.
Good to see such a powerful heart-rending film spared the indignity of ad breaks.
War turns common men into cruel sadistic monsters with no heart or conscience.
That POWs could survive such horrors and then the trauma of trying to fit back into normal civilised life is beyond belief. Heavenly music (from Clannad’s founder member I think).
But its satan who devises war.
Those who deny God already walk with the devil
what do you mean "no ad breaks"?? did you watch it here????? Razors, cleaning products and some plastic thing

01:53:26 is so powerful. That singing and the Japanese soldier killing himself and then the troop shouting at him in anger because he couldn’t get revenge and then starting to cry and holding him because no decent human wants to see another human die.
That's Japanese Harakiri, die as an honorable alternative to disgrace or execution.
He is mad he didn't get to torture him. But he put so much of himself into it and him that with him a part of him died.
That portrayal is certainly a Falsehood, False depiction along with Your attempted description which is certainly nonsense too !!
He was upset because he saw himself, what he himself had become. It wasn't the death of the Japanese sergeant, it was the death of part of himself.
@@newtonfirefly3584it's Hollywood, I mean, it's not 100% real, but not 100% false either. That said, it can have propaganda as well
Thank you God for reminding me of forgiveness thank you this is a good movie
We knew a man that's now buried in Ireland that was captured by the Germans he managed to be freed at some stage he was RAF he then went onto Japan got captured again he told us horrible stories Reginald Arthur green he was my aunt's father in law
A heart wrenching story .
Very young men gave their lives.. 😢 like keifer Sutherland.. his dad Donald is great also.. and Canadian..
An absolutely extraordinary movie!!! EVERYONE should watch this, to learn what WAR really is!!! 5+ stars!!! Great acting, KUDUS!!!! Db
Incredible, astonishing, horrific, depressing, yet still somehow lets through a glimmer of hope. Which is all we can ever cling to. Powerful and very well done.

Very good places to visit. My father was at Hellfire.

Well, in what way did god bless these unfortunate individuals ?
The horror of human behavior brings the best of human behavior....wow! This movie is a must watch
Excellent movie. It shows what a war can do to humans and humanity.
It underscores the horror of imperialism and dogma without any conscious rational thinking.
Unfortunately, history tends to repeat itself.
An outstanding film from Ernest Gordon’s excellent book. Of course, no book can totally encapsulate a film because of length. In the case of this film’s topic, a 100 percent accurate depiction of the Imperial Japanese Army’s (IJA) extensive list of atrocities cannot be brought to the screen in a ‘theatrical’ motion picture and only rarely in older documentaries that would not, these days, be allowed to reach a mass audience because of the images of real, extreme, violence.
My uncle D’arcy Banks, a Tasmanian farmer and expert axeman, joined the Australian Army’s 2nd/40th Battalion, virtually all of whom were captured before they ever could fire a shot in anger. Their heavy weapons and all of their vital supplies were on another ship which was sunk before reaching its destination. After a brief stay at the Changi Prison they were transported to the jungle to work on the Japanese Burma railroad, along with more than 60 thousand Allied prisoners, although the final number may never be accurately known.
Forty-five years ago, after a stint in the RAAF, I began to study military history while working as a journalist and film critic. It was my privilege, not only to hear my uncle D’arcy’s POW stories (which he almost never spoke of) plus, some years after D’arcy’s death, meet many of his former 2nd/40th comrades at a reunion held at my local RSL Club, (similar to the American and British Legions etc.).
D’arcy swore it was only his skill with an axe that kept him alive. The relatively few men who could use axes well had some value to the IJA and were allocated a tiny extra ration of, sometimes, maggot-ridden rice; necessary extra protein would often consist of rodent meat which, after a couple of years, was considered a ‘delicacy’.
From these first-hand sources, I was able to record details of the unimaginable brutality and torture inflicted on these unarmed, defenceless men by IJA officers and troops. Almost impossible to imagine, I was told that the torture and murders committed by the Korean guards in these camps, were disapproved of even by some of the Japanese soldiers; although this was told to me without any sense of mitigation for the former group.
In this film I was pleased to see a ‘composite’ character in the credited, ‘Camp Doctor’, played well by the late, Tasmanian actor John Gregg. His character was roughly based on the most well-known Australian Army, surgeon Captain Edward ‘Weary’ Dunlop, who richly deserves a film about his impressive, selfless career.
In one of my several part-time jobs, while a mature-age student, I was a Theatre Technician at the Royal Women’s’ Hospital and I had the great honour of working alongside Sir Edward Dunlop a few times as he was winding down his surgery; approaching an overdue retirement. When he discovered I was studying military history he gave me generous encouragement and material advice for some of my best essays. He earned his reverential nickname ‘Weary’ from fellow medical students, before the war, as he was “tired out as a Dunlop tire,” (tyre). Apart from his medical studies he also found time to play Aussie Rules football for Ormond college; he also took up Rugby Union rapidly rising to State level and then representing Australia in the early 1930s. Joining the Army as a Captain Doctor, many of his fellow POWs resurrected his nickname as they swore, he never slept. He was one of two youngest Army surgeons to command medical teams on Hospital ships. (The other being Dr William McIver Rose. Whom I also worked for at The Royal Melbourne Hospital.)
‘Weary’ advanced quickly in the Army Medical Corps and eventually commanded a hospital which was overrun by the enemy. He was taken to Java and as he held the temporary rank of Lt. Col. the Japanese made him oversee all the medical officer POWs on the Burma railway, merely so they could claim to the Red Cross they were looking after the welfare of their prisoners and then take over Red Cross supplies meant for the POWs.
This sometimes backfired as ‘Weary’ was responsible for near daily medical ‘miracles’ by organising all POW doctors to look after their patients with virtually no medical equipment or drugs. This, essentially, is what ‘To End All Wars’ is about; improvisation, barter, theft and caring for one’s mates. Read Ernest Gordon’s book, it’s a moving, excellent story. It’s also well worth looking into the impressive career of the late (Mr*), Sir Ernest Edward ‘Weary’ Dunlop. A truly outstanding human being. No apologies for the length of this comment; I had to make many edits to get it down to this size, anyway, I hope some enjoy my memories. Sincerely, Bill H.

Thank you for sharing this with us Bill . You shared information I didn’t know and thoroughly enjoyed reading . With a tear in my eye . I must confess . I work as a registered nurse in Adelaide and I have also heard stories from our diggers . Three who survived in Gallipoli ! All dead now RIP. I still occasionally meet a World War Two vet who hasn’t lost his memory to dementia reluctantly and occasionally share memories good and bad with me . I am starting to see more and more Vietnam war vets come into nursing homes . These guys I have found are the most reluctant to share for some reason . I respect their silence and privacy. May our political leaders and the United Nations learn from history that war should be a very last resort and only if it is absolutely necessary . God bless
@@suzy4798 G'day Suzanne, thank you so much for your kind words. In my experience, all Australian war veterans I've met, from any conflict, are generally reluctant to talk of their war experiences, even to their families.
There seems to be, however, a point of time, in many cases, where vets feel the need to tell someone of their good and bad times.
This is often at a time when they finally realise that their end is near and many seem to feel their small part in the huge experience of war should be known to someone.
Of course, participation in a war is the biggest event in most people's lives. It is good to see that, in recent decades, veterans are more likely to pass on their stories, be they proud or ashamed of them.
I believe this is because there is a greater wish for civilians to know about the experiences of veterans, especially amongst younger generations.
Sadly, there has been a long history of veterans' issues being ignored by veterans of earlier conflicts, as well as many other organisations and governments.
I have seen this, first hand, in the RSL movement when WW2 vets, shunned Korean vets and those groups particularly ignoring Vietnam vets. It is now good to report that this trend has slowly died away as surviving vets of all conflicts now see themselves as having little differences.
All wars are horrific and, as you rightly say, should be looked upon only as the ultimate 'last ditch' alternative.
Trouble is; or maybe the saving grace is, that 'WW3' may not leave any surviving vets, or anyone else for that matter.
Mutually Assured Destruction (M.A.D.) is perhaps the most profound acronym in our language.
Thanks again. All the best. Bill H.
This is such an awesome movie. It sure shows the many levels of survival.
Robert Carlyle is a terrific actor. I have seen him play Hitler, a Bond villain, a few secondary roles and now this. He is always outstanding.
Dude has range. He’s hilarious in the Trainspotting movies.
I first saw him playing a violent loon filled with misdirected hate in episodes of 'Cracker.' After that I was glad to see him not get type cast, though Trainspotting was pretty close.
He played a policeman in a Scottish highland village “ Hamish MacBeth” which was brilliant.
@alasdairblack393 the very best of TV shows !
And what about The full Monty, Plunkett and Maclean and Ravenous , almost too many to name and then there's Keifer Sutherland, another great actor, too many to name also.
A masterpiece. Thank you for sharing. Robert Carlyle is rather young in this one.

I recommend everyone who loves our country to watch this film. See what soldiers did to fight and die for it. Sadly, so many these days have no appreciation for what they did to give them the freedom to tear this wonderful country to pieces. Wait till their freedom will be taken from them.
If you don't look at past history and learn from it, you may have no future.

I have no words.
Wind is felt
I KNEW A MAN WHO LIVED THROUGH THIS, HE HATED THE JAPANESE TO HIS DYING DAY FOR WHAT THEY DID TO HIM, HIS COMRADES AND OTHERS WHO NEVER CAME HOME. THE PHOTOS OF HIM DAYS AFTER HIS LIBERATION SHOWED A WALKING SKELETON. RIP
My father was also a pow,on the railway and for the last year of the war,in japan first at Nagasaki and then at Osaka. He hated them and wouldnt allow anything "made in japan" in the house.
So hard to watch this. ....Well, I did finish watching. I remember trying to watch this in a few years past and couldn't finish. Such a remarkable story of survival and sacrifice.
I just decided, while reading all of these comments, that I won't be viewing this movie. I've lived on this earth for 80 years with the horror of war as the "background scenery". I haven't gotten callous, but plain ol' sick of it. And it's always started, perpetuated and glorified by MEN. Well, my time is almost over and I'll see it out in peace. I did everything my conscience spurred me to do in the face of it all, and now I'm DONE WITH WAR. I cannot stomach it anymore.
I love this movie
It's one of the best WWII movies ever
What an astounding movie! Wow..
This film has an Excellent message. Thank you for posting:)
Wow! A hidden masterpiece. Nothing trite about this picture.
Excellent movie
Respect to fallen soldiers
As a former combat veteran I can assure you that their is no winners for we all suffered the hell all wars bring. The hollow of ones hart is a heavy price to pay.
I'm watching this movie right now so far enjoying thanks for the show
I have been a tourist guide for 18 year in thailand and I went to my grand fatherland in kanchanaburi place of Bridge over the River Kwai were the movie talk about many time right now is very beautiful
Thanks a lot. One of the most interesting films i even seen on CZcams. Maybe the best one. I hadn't even searched for any films at all that time, it has popped up itself. And I am almost sure i couldn't find anything similar myself for reasonable time. CZcams algorithm pushed the envelope this time. I myself knew not much about that part of the history too, and all was really interesting.
beautifully done and very sad too. God bless all of these special men..
Well, god wasn't doing much blessing was he ?
Very moving and poignant, you would think humanity would have learned lessons since those dark days of history. Apparently not…thanks for sharing
Excellent film! Being a Vietnam veteran, it really was moving.
Compassion and empathy…..❤
WWII Veterans are the most bravery and generous generation!
So very glad to have watch this film. Hollywood probably took license with the script no doubt. The message was there and came through. Truly was amazing what these men went through and came out the other end in relatively one piece! I wonder if they ever did a study a each of this gentlemen to see how they fared through the decades after the war? What did they contribute and how did their lives turn out?
Fantastic movie, and excellently acted, presented and very though provoking.
My Great Granny was a McLean from Edinburgh. When I was a boy, she would tell me stories of "the old country" and to this day, I find the Scot's accent like music to my ears.
What a terrible war that was.
The most powerful movie about war I have ever seen.
Finally, The True story of the Bridge on the River Kwai..
My father was there and he is in a book "The Bamboo Express ."
Yes these bastards have not changed
@@carloslandin2553My father was there too,and he collected every book he could lay his hands on,thus I read them too the closest to what happened I think is "One 1/14th of an elephant".
Wow, such a powerful movie.
Many thanks for a excellent film, kind regards from the UK
The synopsis above says, "about Allied POWs who get captured in Japan during World War 2." I think they were captured some distance from Japan.
A Excellent and very moving film over the suffering of the Japanese prisoners of war and the punishment carried out by the barbaric Japanese officers
These POWs weren't Japanese, they were Allied prisoners...
*Allied prisoners of war
Hoping this war won't happen again. We are lucky we didn't experience this world war
The war is won when both sides come together in love, peace and forgiveness and understanding.
You have no idea of war when fighting Nazis, hajji terrorists, genocidal butchering Imperial Japan, etc.
A one on one relationship, perhaps. But you're going to develop a respectful relationship with the Nazis who ran Aushwitz?
Silly.
I have been to that cemetery and memorial, Sept 1970.
One the Best movie I watch
