Wharfmaster Posted February 17, 2014 Share #5 Posted February 17, 2014 Great story but can't stand to watch movies concerning Japanese brutality. Too close to home. 5 family members were Pacific War vets. In addition, my trumpet teacher marched and survived the Bataan Death March with a Japanese shell fragment in his leg. I know the story first person. W Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobgee Posted February 17, 2014 Share #6 Posted February 17, 2014 Read the book. "Unbroken" An amazing true story about an amazing human being and his unbelievable journey. Can't wait to see the film. Bobgee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDK Posted February 18, 2014 Share #7 Posted February 18, 2014 Like everyone else has said, it's a fantastic book. I can't wait to see this one. Hope it's just as good! JD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cutiger83 Posted February 18, 2014 Share #8 Posted February 18, 2014 This is one movie that I will definitely see in the theatre! I can't wait....Kat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack's Son Posted February 18, 2014 Share #9 Posted February 18, 2014 I don't go to movies because I become bored and fall asleep. This one will keep me awake I believe! I'm going to give it a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strawberry 9 Posted February 18, 2014 Author Share #10 Posted February 18, 2014 If this book were written as a fictional story you would say that the author went overboard and it is just to sentational to be true. It's hard to believe that one man went through so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garandomatic Posted February 18, 2014 Share #11 Posted February 18, 2014 I don't see movies anymore because we have a little guy, and well, I don't think Hollywood has made anything worth a hoot for a long time. I'll probably watch this and Fury, though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
67Rally Posted February 18, 2014 Share #12 Posted February 18, 2014 I don't see movies anymore because we have a little guy, and well, I don't think Hollywood has made anything worth a hoot for a long time. I'll probably watch this and Fury, though... So true. We don't go to movies much for these and other reasons. But Unbroken was such an outstanding book that I'll have to see the film in the theater. Glad that Louis is alive5 to keep Hollywood and Jolie in check on the production. - S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zepher11 Posted February 20, 2014 Share #13 Posted February 20, 2014 Read the book as well. Awesome! Like mentioned before, it is an amazing story and would be hard to believe if it wasn't actually a true story. I was worried that the movie wouldn't live up to the book, but it has a good look to it and appears that it will be good. Looking forward to seeing it. I would love to see it in the theater, but tough to find the time nowadays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norwood Posted February 20, 2014 Share #14 Posted February 20, 2014 Incredible story and a remarkable life. Reminds me some what of Eddie Rickenbacker. WW I ace, crashed in the Pacific during WW II (not picked up by the Japanese), adrift for 3 weeks +, raced at and owned the Indianapolis Motor Speedway and finally crashed in a commercial airliner trying to land in a storm at Atlanta's airport. Some people just have a life thrown at them. Would love to see a movie on his life as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nuts121944 Posted May 22, 2014 Share #15 Posted May 22, 2014 Louis Zamperini is an amazing man. Not only did he survive the war, He came home and battled alcohol and nightmares every time he closed his eyes. Then he went to a Billy Graham crusade and came to know Jesus Christ. Through Him, Louis was able to overcome all the obstacles in his way concerning the war. Louis gives all credit and glory to God and is not afraid to speak of his faith. If you want an even more in-depth look into Louis' live, he published his own memoir back in 1956 titled "Devil at my Heels" which has been recently re-released in a more expanded version. It is an even better read than "Unbroken" as it was written by the man himself! I HIGHLY recommend reading "Devil at my Heels". It is so much more personal and detailed. If you loved "Unbroken" (which was a fantastic book!) you'll LOVE "Devil at my Heels". I also read an article in the past few days that Louis was recently name Grand Marshall of the 2015 Rose Bowl parade. He is quite the guy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JDK Posted July 3, 2014 Share #19 Posted July 3, 2014 I have a feeling this one will be very special if it is done properly. Like I said before, I am really looking forward to it! JD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobgee Posted July 3, 2014 Share #20 Posted July 3, 2014 Sad news. As noted in another post today, Mr. Zamperini passed yesterday at age 97. R.I.P. Sir. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
