Unbroken: Path to Redemption

I almost didn't go see this movie because of the terrible ratings. I'm glad I analyzed them enough to make a good decision to see this film which we enjoyed very much.

Politics has no place in Hollywood; films are created to entertain the viewer. I do not go see films based on personal beliefs and can accept and can even feel pleasure in seeing other people overcome their demons and find happiness in whatever positive manner positive. I'm not a believe in religion but am a believer in what works for those who do.

The story needed what happened and being that this is a "true story," it shouldn't be rewritten to make people more tolerating and compassionate.

I believe a lot of people will miss out on a truly heart breaking and inspiring movie due to the ratings because some subject matters triggered viewers who are not tolerable of beliefs that differ from their own which is a shame.

I predicted the ending but I'm thankful that I was correct as it was what I wanted to happen. I could relate to many situations in this movie. However, my story and methods were different but with the same outcome. Fighting and not giving up is all that matters, How people obtain their freedom and happiness is not to be judged.

Go see the movie, shed a tear or two and smile.

Just kind of unfortunate. Very awkward and poor acting. Following the original unbroken which was incredibly done it's even more sad this did not do it justice. The story is beautiful. a shame it wasn't better done is all.

I finally watched this film for the first time and decided to go on Imdb to rate it. I read at least half of the comments, both positive and negative. I don't see anything wrong with giving a deeply passionate message on fighting inner demons, forgiveness, and a transformed life in the salvation of Christ. After the Second World War, many men found inner peace through salvation and became ministers, and planted intergenerational seeds. They were men of faith. Billy Graham wasn't a perfect man, as there are none, but his message was a shining light to many. He was active during the civil rights movement, and even worked with MLK Jr and Southern ministers to desegregate the South. However, I do understand what some of the negative reviewers are saying. Some modern Christian films can be corny and overly dramatic to the point of spoiling the moment for some.

At the same time, a lot of films such as "Jesus camp" about Christian youth propaganda, brainwashing, and making it seem like the norm, is way overly dramatic. The film "Boy Erased" about conversion therapy, is an inaccurate portrayal. Even decades ago, that wasn't all that common. Scientists once "believed" (meaning based on faith), that being gay was a mental illness. That is far removed from the belief of many of today's Christians. True Christians believe that only God can change someone. If there are any remaining stragglers believing that sending a gay teen to "conversion therapy" is a solution, then they are missing the biblical mark. A lack of understanding, and a shared bitterness towards religion, leads to the creation of these types of films. Filmmakers pick rare instances and blow them up in a full feature film in order to politicize it.

My dislikes for Broken 2 obviously had nothing to do with the film having a Christian aim. At the same time, giving the film one star just because you strongly dislike anything to do with Christianity, shows your deeply imbedded bias. I've seen plenty of films that irritated me to the point of desiring to give it one star. But at least I try to have an open mind to be realistic, understand the message, and look past my personal beliefs in order to give films a fair and unbiased rating. Some of these one star raters either did not watch the film, or allowed their bitterness for Christianity to cloud their vision and overcome the important message of "forgiveness."

Unbroken Path To Redemption

I feel overall this was an opportunity missed to really engage with post traumatic stress disorder and how medical intervention needs to presume it is present until they can confirm it is not.

The movie then sank into an abyss of alcoholic self-medication that was totally understandable in the absence of professional intervention.

The acting as good and Samuel Hunt in the lead role gave an intensity to the role. How good he fail with bone structure and indeed hair like that.

His redemption in the form of finding faith is to easy to condemn, it worked for him, it's his story and who I am to criticise.

Without being unfair there really wasn't enough here of a story to make a movie 5/10

It is a passable movie; the plot is decent and Samuel Hunt's acting is good.
