Good plot

Although Nicole is a little bit soy sauce, but without her plot, there is no way to go down, it can be regarded as a needle-threaded role. Collin Firth's performance is really good, vividly deducting the character's forbearance, deep feelings and contradictory psychology. The old comrades died more unjustly, he just wanted to end everything, but the protagonist has a family after all, and there is more than one way to start a new life. Uncle Guizi’s line is actually reasonable, and there is not a single person like Toshiro.
If you watch too many anti-Japanese dramas like the tearing devils in China, the railway laborers may not watch it. They think that the British are really glass-hearted. How can the imperial army be so good is completely whitewashed, etc., in fact, they are all It comes from not understanding, neither the British nor the Japanese. The people of the empire that had never set sun were also people who stood at the apex of the world. Naturally, they did not bear hardships and stand hard work, but they still had the spirit. They did not surrender and did not surrender. They lived to continue their struggle. As for the Japanese, there is indeed a difference between their treatment of British and American prisoners of war and Chinese prisoners and the people in the occupied territories. Britain is one of the ancestors of Japan’s modernization. Needless to say, the United States is a defeated general. Even if it is a captive, a slave, a powerful country It's not the same as those from a weak country. Of course, most of the Chinese soldiers who fight to the death will be respected by the Japanese because they are more in line with their spirit, like the kind of self-counseling, weak legs, running as traitors, in the eyes of people, they are basically inferior to pigs and dogs. .
So those who say that the British have a glass heart, look more at history and understand where the arrogance in the bones of the British comes from. The Japanese are particularly cruel to the Chinese. You have to know that the world doesn’t have so much fairness to talk about. If you’re weak, you can’t blame others for bullying you.

    The story is a bit thin and the ending doesn't make sense. . . I'm here to see the actors. . .

    After watching this kind of story, it is more insensible, but obviously our perspective is still very different from them~

The Railway Man quotes

  • Young Takeshi Nagase: You have no honor. Your army's defeated. You surrendered like dogs. Look at you, you should be ashamed to be alive. If my army was defeated, I would take my life to save my honor.

    Young Eric: You'll get your chance. Any day now.

  • Eric: My mother was already dead, as it happens. All through the war, I wrote letters home to a dead woman.
