I felt flat and uninspired and I love WW1-2 films, particularly centred around people who did great things while facing opposition. This left me feeling sorry for Louis’ memory.

After the crash, I would have bailed out if it hadn’t been written by Laura Hillenbrand. She is the author of “Seabiscuit,” which I loved.

Both “Seabiscuit” and “Unbroken” are stories of courage and endurance.A major differences is in the challenges the protagonists faced. Seabiscuit triumphed by winning against staggering odds. Zampirini triumphed by resisting his torturers and surviving against staggering odds. But the biggest difference for me is that I have seen more than enough evil, both real and fictional, and I don’t care to see more: especially not torture in a prison camp.

After reading the book, I had no desire to see the movie. I thought the ending of the movie “Help” was better than the ending in the book, but for me “Unbroken” is beyond help.

It’s cheating.” Love this! Also, in response about Fogiven, have read the book and seen the movie; and I would have preferred to have seen more on how did his faith help him overcome horrible circumstances. I do not need an “over dumping” of tragedy to appreciate the change. I rather experience with the character the struggle in changing. And for me that is true with real life and fictional characters.
