A truly shocking story that I am glad I went to see

Rating: 7/10 (28 December 2014)

I am not a big fan of these types of films honestly. I don't care about war time films like "Fury" or "Saving Private Ryan" that doesn't mean there not good films at all there just not my cup of tea. However Unbroken had a lot of good reception around it, so I decided to go and see it and I am happy I did.
The film starts of very slow and even drags its feet in the mud, but when the conflict really starts happening and the characters face many problems that would happen in WWII the film takes a interesting turn and becomes a movie that I really can stand behind and have a bit of enjoyment from.
Will it be in my best films of all time... No?? But it is a good film all the same. It talks a lot on the overall endurance that people have to stand up for what they believe in at all times, and it is quite amazing to see all the hardships these characters go through in order to survive in the face of death and never break for even a moment. I do think that this a good movie to watch.
Now I can't talk about a movie that takes place in WW2 without talking about how Japanese films on it differ from this one. While watching the film I found myself thinking back to "Grave of the fireflies" which is a Japanese orientated anime film on WW2 that talks of the sorrow the japs felt as America came back to throw bombs on them, and all there sorrow on the issue. It kinda makes me think as a look at this film were the pain stops. Which is why I liked how the main character was able to see beyond the pain he was feeling towards them, and forgive them for what they had did to him for all that time.
Making this a film that is also about forgiveness in the face of hardships.
