The Railway Man

[Hardpan Curmudgeon SASS #8967]

The Railway Man... have any seen this film?

 

 

 

[J.D. Daily]

I have seen it on TV.  Don't remember when however, I recognize many of the scenes in the trailer. 

[twelve mile REB]

no but I would like to

 

[Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984]

2013 film.

[Hardpan Curmudgeon SASS #8967]

It's on Amazon Prime; likely other places also.

 

Definitely not a "light-hearted yarn!"  

[Dubious Don #56333]

I have Amazon Prime and found this on the IMDB app and watched it yesterday.

 

All I can say is it is a very powerful movie. Colin Firth was simply stunning as was the young man who played his "young character" Jeremy Irvine.  Hrroyuki Sanada was just...awesome. I shall not give away the plot but you need to know, if you're a vet, it will evoke an emotional response. It is a deeply moving film of a type I rarely see these days. It has HEART.
