Le Pont de la Riviere Kwai | 
so-soWould've been a pick, if it wasn't too much of a propaganda text at some places. Even though considering the time it's set in and the time it was written in, sometimes it was too much of racism and too much of the glorification of the western lifestyle for me.
Taken only the story, it was a moving book, that asks important questions.

Buechersuechtling Maybe it‘s embarrassing, but I didn‘t know, it‘s a book. I only knew the film. (Of which, to be honest, I also can‘t remember the plot.) (edited) 4y
Jari-chan @Buechersuechtling No need to be embarrassed - the movie is a lot more famous than the book 😉 4y

Buechersuechtling @Jari-chan You know, it was just one more time of recognising that it‘s _another_ film basically not being origin of the director‘s mind but of an author‘s mind. (Sometimes I feel like this happens all the time, like especially nowadays, no director has the imagination to come up with something new, something they have created in their minds. Instead they all fall back on something someone else “invented”.) 4y
Jari-chan @Buechersuechtling I often do feel the same! New movies are either based on a book or comic, or they're new versions of older films. Sometimes this gets really annoying 😐 4y
