A movie worth finding

Plug for a movie: "The Railway Man". Colin Firth, Nicole Kidman, that guy from 'River'. Obsession with the past restricts the present and forecloses the future. Romance, WW2, the Burma railroad, terror, PTSD and redemption. My uncle Reg was captured in Singapore, imprisoned in Changi and then sent up the line to work on that railroad - the same one featured in Bridge on the River Kwai. He too never wanted to speak of the experience - I have no idea how well he slept.
