View All Critic Reviews Jul 18, The Railway Man is a good movie with great actors that failed to hit the mark. There are so many big names in The Railway Man that I expected it to be nothing but brilliant.
It doesn't matter who is in these pivotal roles, with the script they had to work with, nobody could have made this chemistry work.
If they would have spent more time with the main characters during the war, the results would have been much better. Sanada and Firth's encounter is way too short and under examined.
The Railway Man is based on a true story and, even though this movie is flawed, is impactful in many ways.
The scenes between Kidman and Skarsgard's characters are masterfully done, but there wasn't time to dig any deeper into that relationship either.
Ultimately they tried to do too much in this one film. Altogether it was a pretty good movie. One that I would recommend to any friend who likes dramas.
The acting is very good and it moves along nicely, even if incompletely. Worth a watch. Added to Watchlist. From metacritic.

Goofs The motorcycle and sidecar should have the sidecar on the left, not the right. Quotes [ first lines ] Eric : At the beginning of time, the clock struck one.
A drop of dew, and the clock struck two. From the dew grew a tree, and the clock struck three. However, even that was tolerable compared to the tortures they meted out to supposed miscreants.
Execution was more merciful. Lomax and six others were found to be guilty of having constructed radios and listened to broadcasts from the Allied forces and potentially communicated with subversive forces in Malaya.
To compound his crime, the enemy discovered a map of the railway, drawn by him. None of his explanations that he had done it as an enthusiast helped - he was seen as plotting espionage.
All the suspects were brutally beaten two died of the beatings , confined in cramped cages under the hot sun, and Lomax was subjected to a cruel form of water torture rather like waterboarding to make him confess to espionage all the while, both his arms were in splints because they were broken.
Then they were sentenced to various terms in prison, where extreme malnutrition and overwork ensured that most of them wouldn't ever come out alive.
However, Eric survived - though a totally broken man. He came home to find his mother dead and father remarried. Unable to connect with his family, he married his fiance and settled down - but his ghosts wouldn't let him go, and the marriage broke up.
At this low point in his life, he met his second wife Patti, a benign and understanding person, and his life took a turn for the better.
Even then, Lomax could not let go of his hatred for the enemy, which was symbolically concentrated on the Japanese interpreter Nagase who was present during his interrogation.
He continuously fantasised about torturing and murdering him, and kept on searching for his whereabouts - only to find him in the eighties as a reformed man, a converted Buddhist doing his mite to help the survivors of the war.
After a lot of dilly-dallying, Lomax decided to meet Nagase, to lay his ghosts once and for ever. That meeting turned out to be the turning point in his life.
From a demon, the "enemy" was transformed into a human being like himself. His hatred went away - and along with that, the ghosts of his past.
I read this at a time when many in my family and acquaintances' circle are clamouring for war, and it helped me to keep my faith in humanity.
For, as Eric Lomax says at the end of the book, at some time we all have to stop hating. Mar 09, Nigeyb rated it it was amazing.
Curiously though, and despite some horrific personal experiences at the hands of his captors, Eric Lomax 's account is most memorable as an inspiring, humbling and remarkable reminder of much that is good about humanity.

I have to give 5 stars to this book because of what Eric endured as a POW in Burma; torture and atrocities beyond comprehension and his struggle for decades to understand what had happened to him and how it was still affecting him.
Fortunately PTSD is now more widely known and understood. It took until Eric was nearing 70 to get the help he needed.
The last chapter was particularly moving and will stay with me for a long time. View all 4 comments. Apr 25, Rohit Enghakat rated it really liked it Shelves: biography-autobiography.
This is a fabulous book.. The book is heart-wrenching and provide a horrific account of Eric Lomax as a Japanese prisoner-of-war and the torture he undergoes.
Eric is a railway enthusiast and a Post and Telegraph Office employee. He is drafted as a reserve soldier in the radio communications department o This is a fabulous book..
He is drafted as a reserve soldier in the radio communications department of the Allied Forces. As Thailand and Malaya is captured by the Japanese he is taken captive.
In his captivity, along with his fellowmen, they design and assemble radios to get first hand new on the progress of war. One day the Japanese guards search their barracks and finds radios for which they are taken to task.
Thereon begins a saga of extreme torture and sustained interrogation by their captors aided by an interrogator.
The torture methods are described in graphic detail. AS the years go by, they are released after the Japanese surrenders to the Allied Forces in immediately after the nuclear bomb attacks on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
Eric returns home, a broken man with psychotic disorders plaguing him. He cannot live a normal life and slowly drifts away from his family ending in separation.
His father remarries after his mother's death and he is left to his own demons. One day he meets a woman Patti who is sympathetic to his illnesses and takes care of him.
She later marries him. One day, he chances upon an article describing one of his tormentors as a reformed man doing social work in Thailand.
One thing leads to another and finally they get to meet. Eric finally comes to peace with one his torturer and forgives him for his participation in the torture of POWs.
A lesson one learns is war cannot solve problems. It only aggravates and causes disruptions to soldiers on both sides extracting a heavy price.
Truly a memorable book worth a read. After seeing the movie and being quite affected by it interesting audience in cinema, nobody left in hurry afterwards and some were crying I was eager to read the book.
To my surprise the book is different to the film in a lot of detail and much better but with still covering the same themes.

The author starts at the beginning with fantastic detailed observations of the last of the steam trains which rang across the country before the electrics.
This in itself makes for a great historical record. I think the real blessing of this book of Eric Lomax's story is that it brings a bridge of understanding and truth.

My husband was given this book as a gift and came highly recommended. After a bit of slow start that was slightly boring, the book became an interesting read with an account of violence and brutality during war time with survival and hope at it's forefront.
Told as a true story of the author's real life events this is a very emotional read. He did enjoy reading it and now wishes to see the movie to see how that compares.
Sep 10, J. Published in , I decided to read this after I had seen the trailer for the film. My interest was piqued as the film starred Colin Firth.
Colin Firth is a lover of literature and for the most part has chosen wisely in terms of film adaptations e.
The book centers on Eric Lomax a Scottish engineer with the British army who was taken prisoner by the Japanese after the fall of Singapore.
The book starts with Published in , I decided to read this after I had seen the trailer for the film. The book starts with Lomax's early years in Edinburgh, working for the post office, his jaunts out to disused railway tracks and his job working as a signal man in Edinburgh Castle.
He set out for Singapore in The British largely underestimated the Japanese. Singapore fell easily, 80, British troops were captured.
Strangely they thought the Japanese had night blindness due to the shape of their eyes. Initially the PoW's are allowed plenty of freedom, Lomax helps to build a radio which is used to provide much needed news to his compatriots of the allied advancement.
The radio is discovered and what follows is a horrifying account of men being physically and psychologically broken in the 'monkey houses' of Kanchanaburi.
Railways and trains are the refrain throughout this book. His Japanese translator and interrogator referred to his 'railway mania'.
We think of water boarding as a part of modern warfare torture but it was used quite liberally in the case of the captured British PoWs.
When he returns home the psychological terror does not abate. Post traumatic stress is a common theme in other accounts I have read.
There was very little support for these men, certainly the general public was not aware of the true extent of the horrors faced on the front line.
He focuses his hatred on the little Japanese man who translated and led the interrogations. He meets his second wife Patti on a train in It is Patti who persuades him to seek help.
He then begins to recover and piece together what happened to his interrogator. His first family aren't mentioned that much nor his time spent in Africa.
Post traumatic stress costs him his first marriage, his family are also the victims of his trauma. There is an interesting article in the Guardian which gives a voice to Charmaine Lomax's daughter from his first marriage.
Yet again we are presented with a written account as a form of therapy. This is a unique account about the horror of torture, catharsis and the endeavor to forgive.
This work displays some decent writing and it is certainly very moving. Dec 02, Nigel rated it it was amazing Shelves: best-recent-ones , best-non-fiction.
It is a while since any book has moved me to tears but this one did so and more than once. The story of Eric Lomax's life before the war is followed by a narrative of his time on the Burma railway which can really only be described as terrible even if it is delivered in a fairly factual manner.
However what I found even harder to read was the effect that his wartime torture and degradation had had on his later life. That he was able to get some closure on this later in life was incredibly moving It is a while since any book has moved me to tears but this one did so and more than once.

Eric Lomax joined the British Army Royal Corps Of Signals in and soon after he volunteered for service in defending British Singapore from the advancing Imperial Japanese Army, after the fall of Singapore in he was taken prisoner as well as thousands of other Allied Servicemen.
This is his tale of captivity and brutality at the hands of the Japanese. Many died for many reasons mostly forced labour and starvation as well as mass murder in the building of the Burma-Siam Railway.
If you enjoy memoirs then I definitely recommend The Railway Man, it's quite a short read too which is great for reluctant readers.
I definitely rate this the full five stars for the reasons stated above and the way the memoir is written makes it a pleasure to read.

Just read this again, after several years, on hearing a film was imminent. It made an even bigger impression second time round.
It's the sort of book you can't get out of your head when you've finished it: the image of the little Edinburgh boy who cycled all over the city, and gradually further afield, to see and wonder at and mark the progress of the steam trains and railways he loved, never leaves you.

Throughout all the pain and horror he then experiences as a prisoner of war at the hands of the Japanese and, ironically, against the background of the building of the ultimately useless Burma-Siam railway, it's hard to remember that he was still only 26 when the war ended.
The story of a gentle, quiet, serious boy, robbed of his innocence as he faces the most brutal torture, is almost too painful.
The manner of his eventual coming to terms with the experiences that scarred his soul is impossible to read about without shedding tears.
It's an amazing story. I was so sad to learn that Eric Lomax had died last year and that I had somehow missed his passing - but heartened to know that his widow, Patti, approved of the film and felt it did him justice.

Years after the WWII, he came face-to-face with one of his captors — Japanese interpreter Takashi Nagase, a meeting that finally led to a reconciliation.
His natural stubbornness and quick thinking, as well as luck, saved him eventually from the worst. Few guessed that these people continued to wage the war in their minds.
Lomax experienced that and much worse, and was miraculously saved from this fate. Some part of him, however, — his mind- continued to function in that stressful condition even after the war ended.
The information that his death was imminent had a profound effect on him as it would be on anyone.
I had just been sentenced to death by a man of my own age who looked as if he were a little detached from his surroundings, and who seemed completely indifferent to my fate.
I had no reason to doubt him. Lomax finally took an unprecedented move in the s to seek out some of those people who were responsible for his torture he initially planned revenge for them.
His meeting with one of his interrogators from the year might just have been an act of final closure for him as he knew he had to start making peace with his past if he were to carry on with his life.
The book becomes rather emotional by the end. However, the book is still an eye-opening, unflinching account which is an important, unique and unforgettable read.
