An incredible movie of resilience and determination. Heartbreaking and moving throughout it showed a man with an infinite amount of courage, what a soldier and what a man. Angelina Jolie did really well with this movie.

Movies based on real events are one of my favorites and even more so when they tell the story so well, an excellent movie to watch over and over again.

A story, base on true events, about human resilience, the will to survive and just the sheer power of the mind. Uplifting and motivating.

The life of Louis Zamperini had all the ingredients for a great film. Before the war, he was an Olympic athlete with a promising future. Later, fate put him to the test during World War II, radically changing his life. Angelina Jolie brings his story to the big screen with meticulous direction and a traditional approach, though it doesn’t always achieve the emotional depth it aims for.

Technically, the film delivers. The cinematography is well-executed, the combat scenes are striking, and Alexandre Desplat’s score fits perfectly. However, despite its impressive visuals, connecting with the protagonist isn’t easy. Jack O’Connell does a solid job, but the script barely allows him to showcase any dimension beyond that of an unbreakable hero. Instead of a nuanced character, he comes across as an overly idealized figure.

The film’s most intense moments, such as surviving at sea or enduring captivity in a prisoner-of-war camp, successfully build tension and keep the audience engaged. Still, Unbroken seems more focused on glorifying Zamperini’s resilience than on exploring his vulnerabilities. Everything feels meticulously designed to inspire, leaving little room to portray the raw humanity of his journey.

In the end, Unbroken is an uplifting survival drama that works well enough but lacks something to make it truly unforgettable. It’s the kind of film that captivates while you watch it but fades from memory over time.

The first half, introducing us to his life, was really well done. Always finding the right images and stories.
The second half, as a prisoner of war, only consisted of standard elements, as seen in dozens and dozens of similar movies.
