Unbroken: Path to Redemption

Good movie!

I don't confess to being a Christian but i enjoyed this Sequal to Unbroken. The Acting, Story, directing......nearly everthing about this film was entertaining and satisfying. Too bad the film is not doing well at the box office cause it deserves to be a huge hit!

This film shows how a man can face unspeakable evil in war, show amazing courage in survival, experience mental illness spawned by it, come close to hitting bottom, and then find that the Gospel message really does hold hope for all of us. One minor nit: Why can't Hollywood seem to get it right when it comes to the military? (It makes the industry look bad). Mr. Zampereni was a Captain (O-3). The scenes on the raft show him as a mid-range enlisted man (probably E-4 to E-6). The story would have been equally powerful and he equally admirable were he that rank. But it was inaccurate on the kind of fact that anyone who had any dealings with the US military and who worked on the staff should have corrected.

I almost didn't go see this movie because of the terrible ratings. I'm glad I analyzed them enough to make a good decision to see this film which we enjoyed very much. Politics has no place in Hollywood; films are created to entertain the viewer. I do not go see films based on personal beliefs and can accept and can even feel pleasure in seeing other people overcome their demons and find happiness in whatever positive manner positive. I'm not a believe in religion but am a believer in what works for those who do. The story needed what happened and being that this is a "true story," it shouldn't be rewritten to make people more tolerating and compassionate. Movie Triggers: War Hero's Alcoholism Religion - Christianity Behaviors Hate Enemies Nightmares Pain Suffering Hitting bottom I believe a lot of people will miss out on a truly heart breaking and inspiring movie due to the ratings because some subject matters triggered viewers who are not tolerable of beliefs that differ from their own which is a shame. I predicted the ending but I'm thankful that I was correct as it was what I wanted to happen. I could relate to many situations in this movie. However, my story and methods were different but with the same outcome. Fighting and not giving up is all that matters, How people obtain their freedom and happiness is not to be judged. Go see the movie, shed a tear or two and smile.

But not for me. The film itself was good and had a lot of emotion packed moments. And there was a great message for people who are trying to find a way to make their lives better even if not consciously yet. But once again, not for me.

This was a wonderful story with great acting! I am guessing it isn't getting promoted as a must see movie due to the religion in the end. God forbid Hollywood supports a true story where believing in God helps a struggling man get his life back on track!

This movie was wonderfully acted. Lou made a promise to God, and God would not let him go until that promise was kept. An eye opener to me in the fact of the unrecognized PTSD. I had 3 uncles that died from sclerosis of the liver, they had all served in WWII, one was a prisoner in Germany. My family always said they drank because of there Scotch Irish heritage. Tonight as I watch this movie I realized, no it was because the horrors they saw and experienced. Thanks for telling Lou's story.

A truly dreadful and cartoonish piece of Christian propaganda. The clues are there from the start, with an incessantly swelling musical score and cheesy cliches to die for. If you miss those clues, you can read them at the end credits when it's clear this is nothing more than a commercial piece for the Billy Graham ministry. Reduces all life to falling down one day in a tent and instantly being "cured" of PTSD and alcoholism. Suggests the enemy are a barbarous race who can simply be cured by being given a bible. Disrespects and demonizes the Japanese, makes the Americans out to be stupid and generally has no redeeming features. Contrary to the holy-roller message of the film, this does nothing but demean and compress the raw experience of trauma into something that can be magicked away by a smooth talking pastor and the "love of a good woman". Possibly one of the least life-affirming films I have ever seen, one of the most stupid, and one of the most ill-informed about the true nature of mental illness and dependency. So awful on every level that I had to take bath to get its pervasive treacle off of me.

The truth about this man is that his story is real. And although I was thourghly moved by the first Unbroken film, this movie portrays where his life had the biggest change. Louie Zamperini is now truly unbroken.

Nothing happens but I couldn't stop laughing. It works as a cheesy comedy. However I don't think it was meant as a comedy.
