鉄道ファンはrailway enthusiast

Railway Manを観てきました。ストーリーは下記のトレーラーが充分過ぎるくらいに語っています。



オーストラリアABC放送の映画レビューでは、結構いい評価を得ています。オーストラリアの映画賞で脚本賞も受賞しているようです。

DAVID: It is, in many ways, a remarkable film, I think, and it's interesting that Eric Lomax told this story because so many of the men who went through that terrible experience in World War II never talked about it but he wrote it down.


MARGARET: A lot of guys come back from that situation and don't talk about it and that's, I think, a lot of the problem. But what I thought about this film is it's incredibly emotional because, you know, my family history is Burma Bangkok Railway, fighting in New Guinea.


DAVID: So you had a personal connection.


MARGARET: I was overwhelmed by it, I've got to tell you. It really cut deep with me. But I also think that Nicole is developing such wonderful maturity as an actress. I think she's fantastic in this.


DAVID: I think they're both very good actually.



評者の一人がmy family history is Burma Bangkok Railway, fighting in New Guinea.

と語っている通り、オーストラリアではニューギニアで日本と戦ったので、興味の度合いが違うのかもしれません。

時間がないので、あらためてこの映画は取り上げたいと思います。
