OK movie with a good message

Rating: 8/10 (9 January 2015)

The movie is suppose to be the real story of an American prisoner of war in the hands of the Japanese, how he got to there, also his early life and the time spent as a POW.
I found the story acceptable and inspirational, as a real story could be, and I frankly appreciate that no "extra" elements were added, like the ever present romance we find in movies today, or political views, which would have made it a mediocre movie at best.
It really feels like the experience of a rebel individual, that changed his ways and grew up into a strong man, strong enough to return to his family with his head high, and in the end strong that he could forgive his enemies.
I also found that title is well chosen to represent the story of a man we should all strive to be like, unbroken.
