Colonel Nicholson is completely within the context of a proper British soldier allowing him to deny the indignities of being a Japanese prisoner-of-war. He passed along the content of the values and identity of proper British soldiering to his troops stating, “One day the war will be over. And I hope that the people that use this bridge in years to come will remember how it was built and who built it. Not a gang of slaves, but soldiers, British soldiers, Clipton, even in captivity.” But, wh en confronted by the greater communion of his allies attempting to explode his creation of the bridge over the river Kwai, he is compelled to change his own course as well.
Remy is a rat (context) who is attracted to the theory (content) of Chef Auguste Gusteau that “anyone can cook:. Together (in communion), with his friend garbage-boy Alfredo Linguini and chef Colette along with Remy’s “family,” conspire to create one incredible Ratatouille.
