Fictional depiction edit
The film 'The Bridge On The River Kwai' does not portray the construction of the bridge in question in this article, but rather a fictional wooden bridge which meets a fictional end when it is blown up with demolition charges placed at the bridge's base (rather than by an aerial bombing attack, as the two actual bridges were demolished).
Untitled edit
Therefore, I think the sentence "The construction of the bridge is depicted in The Bridge over the River Kwai by Pierre Boulle and in its film adaptation." is inaccurate, at least as far as the film adaptation is concerned (as I have not read the novel). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.130.203.141 (talk) 21:26, 22 July 2008 (UTC)
Meaning of names edit
Since the two rivers are Khwae Yai and Khwae Noi, it would be helpful to know what the words Yai and Noi mean. —MiguelMunoz (talk) 21:03, 8 May 2010 (UTC)
- At The_Bridge_over_the_River_Kwai#Historical accuracy, it says "Kwae Yai ('Big Kwae') ... Kwae Noi ('Little Kwae')". I'll leave it for others to decide whether this is correct information for this article.24.57.210.141 (talk) 04:43, 29 May 2012 (UTC)
Wood temporary bridge edit
The article states "No remnants of the wooden bridge remain. "
A remnant of the Temporary bridge DOES still exist - it is seen in the war museum that is about 100 yards south from the steel bridge, and I have a picture! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.130.188.157 (talk) 18:03, 10 September 2015 (UTC)
