We""re gonna rape this whole god-damned landscape." When Saito accuses the workers of sabotage and threatens shooting them, Clipton points out to Saito how gunning the soldiers down would violate his own set of principles, illustrating how the Japanese colonel is caught in a no-win dilemma - he will lose face if the bridge is not completed by the rigid deadline, and he will also lose face if he accedes to Nicholson""s demands:Saito: Enlisted prisoners sabotaged the work.The Germans must retreat from their position to a trench further back.The bodies of thousands litter the field of battle.Senselessly, many of Paul""s boyhood friends are killed.And then, the French are driven back in a German counter-attack.As the Germans approach the French trenches, they are mowed down by French machine gun fire in a moving camera shot (from right to left) - the sequence of shots during the counter-attack are almost identical to the shots of the earlier French attack.Archie Lee Meighan.He promised her white-trash father (since deceased) that she would remain a virgin, and continue to sleep alone in her crib until her 20th birthday (only two days away as the film opens).
