I went to see the movie Unbroken http://www.unbrokenfilm.com/ today. I was somewhat familiar with the story, as there has been a great deal of publicity about the movie, the director, Angela Jolie, and the hero, Louis Zamperini. I knew the outcome, that he would survive the Japanese concentration camp. I did not know all the inhumanities he suffered. I just knew he survived. That is not a spoiler, if you hear anything about the movie, you know he survived.
The movie was based on the book Unbroken by Linda Hillenbrand. I prefer to read the book before I see the movie, but I wanted to see this movie, and I can read the book later.
I recommend this movie for age appropriate audiences. I believe it is rated R. The nudity, violence and vulgar language is not gratuitous, but consistent with the story. It is a story with a message, about the human spirit.
I think having Unbroken open on Christmas Day sent a message about the human spirit, and the reason for the season. Good work!
