Railway Man

Description

This is a very sobering movie, again with 2 of my favorite actors - Nicole Kidman & Colin Firth, depicting a true storyof a British prisoner of war of the Japanese - Eric Lomax. He is working on the Thai - Burma railway for the Japanese. He owns up to creating a crude radio receiver, from which news is obtained of the progress of WW2 back in Europe. The Japanese think he is spying, & torture him. He is finally rescued, along with his comrades who have managed to survive the ordeal. His married life isn't very healthy, because his wife feels left out of his life, because he can't relate what he went through in the war, to her. Eventually, they both go to Thailand, where his Japanese torturer is a travel guide, taking tourists to the exact same places where Eric is tortured. They meet, both with hostility towards each other. However, the story ends well, as they both become reconciled to each other, & remain friends, until their deaths. I used 2 papers from Outdoors Swamp - bundle by Connie Prince, the elements are all clipart from IMGBIN.com; the photo, & respective Barbie & Ken dolls are from the net. ( As you can tell, I'm a Barbie & Ken doll freak!)
