Rating: 8/10 (22 May 2015)

The name of the film is Unbroken. It was realized by Angelina Jolie in 2014. It's an adaptation of the book "Unbroken : A World War II, Story of Survival, Resilience and Redemption" of Laura Hillenbrand.The film relate the story of Louis Zamperini and this is a real story. The film start in 1942, during the Second World War, with eight soldiers that must find the crew of plane that had disappear in the sea. But, their plane has a problem and they fall in the sea. Only three people survive, including Louis Zamperini, a famous American Olympic athlete. They spend 47 days lost in the sea, until a Japanese boat find them. Then, the Japanese take them to a prisoner-of-war camp in Omori (Tokyo). There, Louis Zamperini recognize the director of the prisoner-of-war camp, who is also an ancient athlete. In this film, the war is seen like a thing that separate the families. The kind characters are the American and the Japanese are the villains. The American soldiers are strong (physically and psychologically) and they don't give up their aim : win the war to take revenge over the villains. The war is also seen like endless. It's a good film but it's very very violent. Indeed, it's not a film for the children because it represent the violence of the war in the prisoner-of-war camp. Moreover, there are not only one love story and the film is long (more than two hours). But, this is an American film, therefore the Japanese are seen like villains but some Japanese are not cruel as much as the "Bird". However, it's a good film because it depicts the life of Louis Zamperini, who is dead the last year.
