The Railway Man
Here is an intensely well-intentioned movie with an important story to tell, but also, unfortunately, with jarringly awkward moments and very serious casting problems. It is an adaptation of the 1995 memoir by Eric Lomax, the former Royal Signals officer who described his wartime experiences of being forced to work on the Burma railway after the fall of Singapore. He was tortured by Japanese soldiers, but travelled back to the far east decades later to track down his former torturer, Takashi Nagase, with whom he was reconciled. The friendship of these two men became a moving emblem of peace.
A quiet, contemplative drama about the war after war.
