Ernest Gordon was a stalwart young man who fought and belonged to the Scottish regiment of the Allied POW during World War II. Soon, however, he was captured by the Japanese military and got sent to the Chong-Kai Prison Camp in Myanmar. At the prison camp, Gordon was forced to labor to build a railroad through the Burmese jungle. Gordon experienced the most extreme pain that humans can ever endure. The situation was getting worse everyday to the point where all the prisoners finally became and behaved like savages. It was ordinary to steal other prisoners’ food and supplies, even from the dying prisoners. They also fought for food crumbs on the ground because there was a lack of food for them to eat. The food distributers stole the foods that were supposed to be given to the fellow prisoners so the prisoners felt the threat of severe survival. Soon after, Gordon was put into the intensive care unit of the prison camp due to his serious illness. Gordon gave up everything and waited for his death. There, he met two prisoners who still did not give up their hope of life and freedom. They shared their food with dangerously ill prisoners, and whenever the camp needed people for extra labor, they volunteered to do it. They were also very caring to Gordon as well. They disinfected Gordon’s rotting wounds and massaged his legs that were going through paralysis. Their acts of kindness were bringing positive changes in the camp. Everyone started to take care of the sick prisoners and shared their supplies with everyone. The best thing that happened was that they started having worship. The two prisoners’ sacrifices eradicated the selfishness in the prisoners. It also was a great driving force for the prisoners to find God again. Towards the end of the movie, the Allied force found the camp and turned the tide of the war. The prisoners forgave the Japanese who treated them harshly and found true freedom. Twenty
