Gefangen in der Hölle (2001)

Gefangen in der Hölle: Directed by David L. Cunningham. With Ciarán McMenamin, Robert Carlyle, Kiefer Sutherland, Mark Strong. A true story about four Allied POWs who endure harsh treatment from their Japanese captors during World War II while being forced to build a railroad through the Burmese jungle. Ultimately they find true freedom by forgiving their enemies. Based on the true story of Ernest Gordon.

“u0026quot;To End all Warsu0026quot;: Starring Robert Carlyle (u0026quot;Go Nowu0026quot;), Keifer Sutherland, and MANY talented men. As the film began, it felt like a cousin to u0026quot;Bridge on the River Kwaiu0026quot;, but the plot slowly morphed to an even MORE complex set of ethical issues, with divisions not seen in that great 1950u0026#39;s film. I see this new one as more related to the movie u0026quot;Andersonvilleu0026quot; – our own true American tragedy of a P.O.W. camp during the Civil War – and what THAT experience demanded of those interned. u0026quot;To End all Warsu0026quot; is certainly an anti-war film, and a true story, but looks at many individuals for the complexity of dealing with the horror…and offers bits of consolation…where it can be found. Its elegant ending reminded me of u0026quot;Schindleru0026#39;s Listu0026quot;. u0026quot;To End all Warsu0026quot; deserves to be considered a PROFOUND film.”
