Bridge Over the River Kwai

Anyone else see a link between the two films? The only sane way to react in an insane system is to flout it, to rebel. In Bridge Alec Guinness's character plays everything by the book, he follows the rules of the insane situation he finds himself in and ends up helping his enemies. In Cuckoo's Nest McMurphy rails against the system and it's what sets him out as sane. But if you demonstrate sanity in an insane system you become the enemy and you are punished for it. You end up with a choice between going along with insanity, with injustice, or bringing about your own destruction. And that's a hell of a choice. The counter culture, man! I love these movies. We have lost a lot.
