We went to see "Unbroken" tonight, and I recommend it to all.
It's the story of Louis "Louie" Zamperini from Torrance, CA, and is based on the book "Unbroken: A World War II Story of Survival, Resilience, and Redemption" by Laura Hillenbrand.
My wife bought the book several months ago, and was waiting for the film to come out.
I haven't read the book yet, but I'll get started on it in the next few days.
It's a stirring movie, and doesn't pull any punches concerning the treatment of Allied POW's in Japan.
Highly recommended, and take a box of Kleenex with you.

IF it comes close to the book, that'll be a good one!
ReplyDeleteMy wife was giving me some hints as to what was in the book, and not the movie, and vice versa.
ReplyDeleteShe said it was pretty faithful to the book, so if you liiked the book, you'll probably like the movie.
