UNBROKEN

Movie:  Unbroken
Jan's Rating:  A
Time:  2 hours 17 minutes

Jan's Opinion:  This is the third true story of a war movie that I have seen in 2 months.  I did not get a chance to see Unbroken when it was in the theaters so Dave and I rented it last night and finally got to see it.  First of all, I have to say that if I had known how brutal the movie was, I would not have rented it.  I gave it an "A" rating because it does tell the true story of how it was during WW-II and how our soldiers suffered at the hands of the Japanese.  This was the true story of Louis (Louie) Zamperini, who died last year at age 97.  Jack O'Connell played the role very well of Louie in the movie.  Angelina Jolie directed the movie.  I couldn't help thinking of Senator McCain as I watched this movie, knowing that he suffered this same in-humane treatment at the hands of the Japanese soldiers for 5 years!  And he never gave them any information that they wanted.  I also couldn't help thinking that after he gave up 5 years of his life and suffered greatly for our country, that there were actually people who thought he wouldn't make a good president.
