Fantastic
I read the short storyline of the film before viewing and it had intrigued me. I came into it with an open mind – at first romance and then the inescapable drama. The acting by Firth was amazing. I was mesmerized. It may be slow (to some of a lesser attention span) at first, but eased into a psychological drama that holds on tight and will not release until the finale. Spectacular cinematography, the scenes are beautiful and real. It is a wake up call to those who have not/do not understand the great span of WWII – brings much needed insight into the history of this particular banker’s war. Ultimately, this film beautifully portrays the ultimate power of forgiveness. Which brought tears to my eyes, in the panic and hysteria that the world now feels due to war and terror, it is good to know that there is some shred of humanity that exists and has hope to exist in the future.
WAR LEAVES A MARK
Eric Lomax (Colin Firth) is not “a train buff” but a “railway enthusiast.” While riding the trains he meets the 17 year younger Canadian nurse Patti (Nicole KIdman) which appears to be a love at first sight and hasten marriage. Patti discover Eric has severe PTSD from the time he spent as a POW under the Japanese. He is mentally still fighting the war which has left an “army of ghosts.”Much of the film is consumed by Patti attempting to figure out Eric’s problem, having to rely on a friend. Discovering that his tormentor is still alive, Patti must decide if Eric should know, not knowing what he might do.
The film was well done, It is based on a true story.and a book by the same title. The film left out some aspects of Eric’s life, like the wife he left for Patti.
