Amazing Story
This film is based on the true story of Olympian Louis "Louie" Zamperini, who survived in a raft for 47 days after his bomber was downed in WWII, and he was sent to a series of prisoner of war camps. The story itself is amazing, and it really makes you wonder if you would have it in you to be as strong as the characters were in this movie or just pray for death instead.
However, the script for Unbroken was very weak, especially if you read the book beforehand. None of the characters grew, transformed, changed or learned anything by the end. Everything was so matter-of-fact. Lots of room for intense dramatic moments, character climaxes and transformations that were left on the editing room floor. A dramatic moment would start to happen, but then it would smash-cut to the next scene or day. Hmmm....
Still, a good effort by director Angelina Jolie.
