Patti doesn't realise, until after they are married, how damaged Eric is from his wartime experiences as a POW on the Thai-Burma Railway, when he was brutalised and tortured. It felt as though the script writing and direction. The film makes a sudden and disturbing tonal shift, though, as it becomes apparent that Eric still bares dreadful scars from his experiences in a Japanese. As Lomax, Firth combines eccentricity, decency and vulnerability, and Kidman brings grace to a character who is a key to the narrative, yet remains a little undeveloped overall. But in the end the narrative seems to drift away into nothing very interesting. Tuesday (March 14) marked the Court of Appeal-imposed deadline for the feds stemming from the Nanoose-area Snaw-Naw-As First Nation’s lawsuit. The film is a dramatized version telling his story with Academy Award winners Colin Firth (The King's Speech, Bridget Jones Diary) and Nicole Kidman (Birth, The Hours) in the leading roles. Wrenching, profound and beautifully made, The Railway Man is one of the stunning don’t-miss surprises of the still-young 2014, teaming two of the screen’s most popular stars, Colin Firth and. Their courtship is evoked with a kind of old-fashioned cinematic quality – Brief Encounter is a reference point, and Lomax's obsessive grasp of railway timetables enables him to engineer a second meeting. Canada has decided it will not fund the rail restoration of an Island Rail Corridor segment running through a Vancouver Island First Nation reverting the lands back to the community. The Railway Man is an evocative, intelligent, and well made dramatic film based upon the real life story told by Eric Lomax in his published autobiography. It’s a story about PTSD though from a time before it was called that and an urge for revenge that turns into a desire for reconciliation and forgiveness. It begins in 1980, with a chance meeting between Patti (Nicole Kidman) and Eric Lomax (Colin Firth) during a railway journey. The Railway Man is not a sweet little romance. Verdict: A fascinating life story, The Railway Man is.
THE RAILWAY MAN REVIEW MOVIE
The Railway Man – based on a true story, a memoir written by its central figure – is about the pressure of the past, the pain of remembering, and the necessity of forgiveness. It’s here where the outcome of Lomax’s journey hits you, suggesting that his life story would’ve made a better hour-long TV special. THE RAILWAY MAN is a lesser movie than it should be, packaged as it is with gorgeous cinematography, atmospheric music, and a star-studded cast.
