Her husband's illness meant they rarely went to the cinema he didn't know who Colin Firth was until he saw him on the front page of the Daily Telegraph, snapped at a film premiere. And she is an expert, she is a professional.'' ''I knew she had had experiences in her own life as we all know, protecting a loved husband, so I trusted that she would be able to relate to my experiences. Patti Lomax says she steered clear of giving any advice on how she should be played. Teplitzky was asked to direct this more intimate version of the story just three years ago he cast Firth, who then suggested Nicole Kidman. That was, says Jonathan Teplitzky, ''a fantastic day''. The film was still being shot when Lomax died he was able to visit the set just once, the crew lifting his wheelchair to the top of a steep hill where Colin Firth was being filmed staring across the sea. It took the producers 15 years to bring the film to fruition originally they had envisaged a $US40 million war epic, which was eventually redrafted as a $15 million drama focused on the couple's shared struggle with battle stress. It won several prizes and was filmed as a documentary and as a television drama not long afterwards, but cinema proved a tougher proposition. The Railway Man, Eric Lomax's measured, moving autobiography of his ordeal and the fight to transcend it, was published in 1995. Lomax's poor health meant they were only able to meet a few times, but they would speak on the phone and, every Christmas and birthday, Nagase would send a card showing a Japanese train. Nagase's life had been scarred too they understood each other.
Patti Lomax believes he went with the intention of killing him. Lomax held on to the cutting for two years before going to meet his tormentor in Kanchanaburi, site of the infamous bridge over the River Kwai. I knew Nicole had had experiences in her own life protecting a loved husband, so I trusted she would be able to relate to my experiences. Nagase was the translator whose voice had taunted Lomax through those long interrogations, even telling him to ''keep his chin up'' as he was beaten. In fact, it was only probably 2011 that I really realised he did feel deeply about me.''Ī crunch moment arrived when a fellow former prisoner sent him a newspaper cutting featuring Takashi Nagase, a Japanese wartime soldier who was now campaigning – against considerable opposition at home – for reconciliation and a recognition of guilt. He cared enough, although he didn't express it, to try and receive help. Eric gradually realised that he was being different and that he would lose me. ''I explain it to myself and others as a little bit like an alcoholic having to realise he needs help before he does anything.
