Movie: Unbroken (with spoilers)
I watched a movie yesterday called Unbroken. This movie is about an American athlete in the 40's. He was a runner and competed in the Summer Olympic Games in Germany. After that, USA went into WWII and he joined the air force. He had many problems during his journey. First of all, his plane crashed into the ocean. He survived, along with two other people. They stayed in the Pacific Ocean for 26 days. One day his friend died, likely due to being sick and weak. (probably sounds out of place here because it sounds as if you don't know, but I think what happened is rather likely and self-obvious).
After 28 days, they were rescued by a Japanese warship. They were (were for plural, was for singular) captured and forced to work in a concentration camp. The Japanese army tried to get information from them about American war technology or other kind of information (information has no plural form as it is an uncountable noun). The runner had a lot of problems with a Japanese in charge of the camp. This guy hit him many times, it was something personnel. After an American attack on the camp, all the prisoners were transfered to work with coal in another area of Japan, probably close to a mine (again, the use of the word "probably" sounds slightly off). The runner ( Louis Zamperini) suffered a lot during his days as a prisioner. He was attacked (past tense) many times, hit and injured until the war ended. After that, all the prisoners were released and Louis and all the survivors returned to their hometown. Louis made a promise that he would live his life helping people, be a good man, etc. Years later, he had an opportunity to come back to Japan and meet the Japanese soldiers who kept him in jail and he forgave them all. The end!
If I had to grade this movie from zero to ten, I would say this movie is a 7. It delivers a good lesson about keeping strong when we face difficulties during our lives and about forgiveness. The scenes in the movie appear life-like, unlike some movies, where the scenes are computer generated. For people who like to watch movies, I recommend seeing this movie.
