For my second movie I chose to watch "To End All Wars"
At the height of World War II, Singapore is invaded by victorious Japanese armed forces. A small group of retreating Allied soldiers, led by lieutenant Colonel Stuart McLean, Major Ian Campbell, Captain Ernest Gordon, and Lieutenant Jim Reardon, is captured and led to a prison camp deep within the jungles of Burma-Siam. The POW's are forced by the Japanese to build a railroad through treacherous jungle wilderness. Escape is their first priority, but when they lose their commanding officer, the men are left to fend for themselves. Major Campbell rises to the challenge and starts planning a suicidal takeover of the camp by the prisoners. Ernest decides to start a college of liberal arts. The prisoners begin to regain their dignity and hope. Soon Gordon and his school are in conflict with Campbell's planned coup d'etat. The rival values lead to split loyalties within the camp, and reveal that amidst so much physical suffering, the most treacherous war is the one fought within.
This movie was based on a true story. I really enjoyed watching this movie and if your interested in uplifting and exciting movies you will definitely love the movie to end all wars. I thought it was very interesting to learn what really happened on the river kwai during ww2.
