Don't give up!

Rating: 8/10 (27 April 2015)

The story of survival and robbed of all emotion. The acting was very good. Lost at sea and fighting their way out of a Chinese camp while they were men of war. Filthy working and getting beaten and starved to death. Their humanity is ripped from then, nothing to hold onto.
It would have been better if the movie would have shown what his family was going through at the same time he wrote that message. This is one of those movies that have those burst of instincts like something is going to happen. But nothing ever does. And it goes on and on. It also would have been cool if Jolie would have put more details in at the end of the movie, like about his life and how it changed his families life and his life. How he was when he got out of the camp. The story of Louis Zamperini is only half told in unbroken because I read stories and stories about him even looked him up on the internet. And I found out that his life post-war, in my opinion, was equally emotional, meaningful as his POW years. In his POW years his tortures were really long in the movie.
I think she over exaggerated a little bit. The flash back scenes did not make any sense to me at all. Jolie went to overboard. Not a lot of the backrounds didn't seem realistic like when they were on the lifeboats they didn't make everything the same as the previous scenes. The water was different shades of blue. The hairstlyes were groomed and brushed to look good. The music was good. It set the mood and place at the right moment. To be honest I didn't even pay attention to the music. But that's how I knew something was going to happen.
