I just watched this movie. I gotta tell you, I was pretty touched by it. My father has been a prisoner for thirty three years in Iran. His story may never be known. However, at the end of this movie we're reminded of forgiveness through faith! Rest in peace Louie, I am your son!
My grate grandpa was in this war and he said "it was the worst thing that could have ever happened to me" he never talks about what he went through he has scars on his back. And sometimes he has nightmares. But he still is happy. I could never be as strong as him or Louie. I respect all the veterans. And I hope everyone does to.
My great gramps also fought during WW2, but he fought on the opposite side (Germany). He told me before he passed that he has seen things most people will never see and to enjoy life while I am still on this earth.
I loved this movie soo much I read the book over and over and over again. When I saw Unbroken I cried. He was really loved and blessed with a great life from God. R.I.P Louie Zamperini
Dominic Toretto -- Louis is now with Jesus, free from all earthly suffering. What's _really_ a shame is that Jolie didn't include his conversion to Christ or his forgiveness toward his captors. Now THAT would have been a powerful closing scene to the film.
The book Unbroken has made me respect all War veterans extremely passionately. Louis' story was just one out of the thousands of others who survived in POW camps. It is truly inspirational and I thank all who served.
I saw the movie, and now I'm going to read the book. Wow, I couldn't believe everything Louis lived through. Very inspiring and I'm glad he shared his story. I also heard this movie had been shelved by movie studios for many many years.
This dude has some alpha genes right there. Really good looking, no quit will, lived like 97years. This man is a beast. His sperm is worth gold man. Sperm banks prepare.
I just watched this movie last night and I was so moved. Louis is now my personal hero. His courage, mental fortitude and will to survive are something to be truly admired. Angelina did a wonderful job of telling his story with respect and honor. I will now be reading the biography and look forward to learning more about this amazing human being. RIP Louis. You are gone, but never forgotten. Thank you for reminding me of the power of forgiveness. Your ability to replace hate and anger with love and forgiveness has truly inspired me to do the same.
Great artist, Jolie, super talented and very good at directing. Remarkable story of a man with incredible spirit and belief. Other than the music, and that it was a bit too long, one must respect the great work done by the amazing Jolie to make this come to life! excellent script, acting.... worthy.
I have no doubt you are right in that the truth wasn't completely true. I remind you it isn't a documentary. still, it is a great undertaking to direct a big hollywood film and you gotta respect that, and in addition it does offer a small glimpse into world history which otherwise may not be known. i do appreciate the Ron Howard comment, as i usually don't like sappy crappy films. tnx for the info.
Angelina really & truly did the most phenomenal job executing this film, and I'm not just saying that just to be saying it but she really really did. The woman is just brilliant. I'm so glad she took this leap of faith into the directors chair my God she belongs there also. Fantastic work of art of a film & this very gritty nerve wracking true story. The Japanese, my goodness don't even get me started...bless this man's heart that's all I can & am gonna, I wouldn't have made it past half of all this bullshit that film covered. It's hard to watch through some of it, but nobody else could've done it any better. Proud of you Angelina! And even prouder of you Sir Louis, this all happened for a very clear reason now more than ever & none of it was in vain in the least bit of reason or way.
Found this book in a thrift store one day at the lowest point in my life and it gave me strength with every page I turned and I want to thank Angelina and the writer for painting the picture it was like I was witnessing every moment, it stole my heart the story and that hero of a man Lou! His spirit and bravery those men hold a special place in my heart. " if I can take it I can make it " is my motto Yes from a black woman, love is universal. Even during these hard lonely times now I fine joy thinking of how Lou would react maybe. And I say forgive and strengthen your thoughts of self, girl. Thanks Angelina.
Thank you Louis Zamperini, I am currently reading your book and wanting to see the movie. My great grandpa was a prisnor of war with the Japanese for three years, I respect everybody who has been through hell like this...
in a way it seem to me that only for a short time that Angelina Jolie found a her grandfather for a short time and i don't care what other people think or say about her she will ways be my favorite actress and director all at the same time !!!
before i just like to watch this movie because of jack o conell. i never thought that im gonna love to watch the movie because of the great louie zamparrini. he must be one of the known greatest hero of history. may u rest in peace mr. louie. im so glad i knew your incredible story. your story will inspire us to not give up in all trials and difficulties. m saving this movie so that m gonna show this to my future children someday.
Tom Miller I imagine it was that or nothing; he was in his last days. Very thoughtful and kind of her, especially considering she's a creature of Hollyweird.
The comparative resilience of people never ceases to amaze me. Some people kill themselves at 13 or 23 over a single unhappy or difficult period and another, with far more devastating (at least, objectively speaking) experiences, lives into his advanced 90s, and still looks clear in the head.
Sorry for breaking it down for you, but there isn't love or sports or "world series" or "championship fights" or romance or a femme fatale or "women most mean only dream about" (as one narrator on a CSI show absurdly phrased it), etc. I know the post wasn't addressed to me, but I felt compelled to respond anyway. EVERYTHING ON THIS EARTH IS A MYTH, a socially constructed ILLUSION. Sexual desire is a myth too, appetite is a myth, socially constructed. Gender is certainly a socially constructed myth (i.e. masculinity and femininity vs. male and female). Male and female are not myths. They are real and can be so measured. But masculinity and femininity are myths, unreal, social fictions. The only thing that made the Mayweather/Pacquiao fight special was a social consensus to make iit so, to construct a fiction that it was important, "major," like the Hollywood Oscars or any awards (Grammys, Tonys, Emmys) or the "World" Series. Look at it this way: if the Yankees scored say 1000 runs during a season and the Dodgers scored 999 runs, the Yankees are the World Champs even if the Dodgers beat the Yankess 4-0 in the World Series. But we create social fictions and view the World Series in a decisive light. It's all social mythology. I'm always amused at the silly atheist remark, "How can one talk to an invisible friend." DUH. Everything on this earth is INVISIBLE. The romantic partner on a date is a myth; a fiction, an "invisible" person.Not the biological person who is real in front of one and that, if there is a God, only God really sees. See the problem I have always had with atheists is not that they go too far, but that they never go far enough and "deconstruct" their own myths, such as "science," "statistics" (you know, the atheist will live to be 77.2 years of age because he read it in actuarial tables!), etc. So now getting back to God, which of course I will not answer in a theological sense, but in a phenomenlogical sense: does God therefore exist? Of course God exists. Like the "World Series" or "Oscars" exist and "Best Actor" of the year, etc. If three people sit on the edge of their seats and bite their nails until the envelope is opened and the "winner" is announced, then the Oscars are real. If three people, as Jesus himself with unique phenomenological perspicuity said, gather in Jesus' name, Jesus will be among them. Because the world is created by our communal consent. Is that therefore "unreal"? I'm perfectly willing to concede that. But only if the atheist agrees that his World Series is a mythical lie too, an illusion; that his or her romantic partner is a myth; that desire itself is a myth I've always felt the sex object is real because we madly pursue them; we don't madly pursue them because they are real. By the way that explains escort girls and the like. It's right out of Tom Sawyer's trope with the fence. If you pretend something is different than what it is, it becomes different. If you pretend painting a fence is a pleasure, people will pay for it. If a woman puts a high price on her body, stupid males will line up; and the higher the price, the bigger the sexual charge (and discharge). I hope this helps.
I see Louie Zamperini right next to me he is truly an amazing person he is never going to leave us because he knows how he can be important to someone who has been going through a lot in someone life witch was me when I needed someone there and he always there 😊
This is NOT the complete interview, so hoped to see the interview as televised again. Guess NBC felt the original interview was not PC enough. Interview as shown on TV was amazing. so much left out of this.
jetshockey5 if you knew me, I've trained alongside MMA champions and they wouldn't talk like that to me. If you we were face to face you'd start crying. Tough guy. Don't be so presumptuous the next time you mouth off to a total stranger.
I just hope Japan doesn't get so offended by this movie that they launch a cyber attack on Universal Pictures, and then threaten to blow up American Movie Theatres. #SavetheInterview #theinterview
Charles Testrake Laura Hilenbrand "Unbroken" is partly copied from "Clutch of Circumstance" Lewis Bush (1956)."Unbroken" is fabricated.You remember the past.
Kyoko Hoshino That is a slanderous comment. Laura Hilenbrand’s "Unbroken" was based on seven years of research, and thousands of hours of interviews with Louis Zamperini and other American prisoners of war. Perhaps you should try to LEARN the past. Pretending that Japanese abuses against Allied POWs didn't happen, won't make its dishonor go away. #unbroken
to angelina i say well done,long after were gone this life story will live on as one of the greatest stories told, to louis memory if he were still alive i would shake his hand and give him a big warm hug.he trulied suffered and lived to tell us the true story of war and hate and mental fragility. i know this if it had been me ,i would have giving up proberly in the boat.
his plane wasn't shot down! it was the green hornet it was a plane they used for parts! but they were stuck with the shitty plane on a rescue mission!!
I just got done reading the book. Small correction to the video here I think, someone correct me if I am incorrect. Louis' bomber did not get shot down. One of the engines gave out.
I was very shocked to know that Billy Graham has visited North Korea and even met Kim Il-sung.So that means people cyber attacking "the Interview" and people made this movie are on same side.
Kyoko Hoshino, have you heard of Takashi Nagase and his quite amazing true story? He was an interpreter for the IJA during World War 2. After the war ended, he had tremendous guilt over his treatment of Allied POWs during the war, as well as witnessing the torture and executions of many Allied POWs by Japanese soldiers. So he went back to Thailand many times after the war ended, to try to atone for his crimes. Years after the war, in England, one of Nagase’s former captives who survived the war, Eric Lomax, by chance happened to see a news article written about Nagase’s pilgrimages to Thailand. Lomax’s wife Patti contacted Nagase who by that time had set up a charitable foundation in Thailand and was building a Buddhist shrine beside the death railway. In her letter to Nagase, Patti told him “How can you feel ‘forgiven’ Mr. Nagase if this particular former prisoner (Eric Lomax) has not yet forgiven you?” Nagase wrote back and said he would like to meet Lomax and his wife. Obviously Lomax was haunted for many years from his torture at the hands of Nagase, and wanted revenge for what Nagase did to him. So Lomax and his wife Patti travelled to Thailand to meet Nagase. Lomax told Patti that he had a pocketknife in his pants and he planned on stabbing Nagase when they met. However, after talking with Nagase, Lomax felt that Nagase truly felt remorse for his and Japan’s actions during the war. Lomax offered his forgiveness and in fact, strangely, Patti had a harder time forgiving Nagase, in part because she watched her husband suffer mentally and emotionally for many years from his torture. Here’s the link to his story: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Takashi_Nagase From this page you can link to Eric Lomax on Wikipedia. A British movie was made in 2013 called the “The Railway Man” starring Nicole Kidman as Lomax’s wife and Hiroyuki Sanada portraying Takashi Nagase. So what do you say about that?
No, she went to the hospital and was able to show him an unpolished cut of the film on her laptop. Like without the music or anything for the finished release. Still got to see the movie.
I just watched the movie and I was not very impressed. There was so much that the movie missed including the illness that Louie had during his time, it didn't even begin to capture the abusiveness of "The Bird" and it didn't very well show his deep friendships with the other POWs and their creativeness when it came to get getting food and paper. Don't get me wrong, it was a good movie, but I think that the story of Louis Zamperini can not be properly told in an hour and half long movie. It can't even scratch the surface.
yes exactly. i first watched the movie and only then read the book. the differences are HUGE and i was surprised how many important things were missing in the movie.
I saw the movie. It's awesome. I can't believe that how American has been generous to understand against the enemy, Japan. It's illegal to praise Nazi, but it's okay to praise Japan's culture and flag of II WW and so on in America even both of them had caused II WW.
WHY do they keep saying "the plane was shot down???". Mr. Zamperini's plane was NOT shot down. Did they read the book "unbroken"? The flight engineer accidently turned off one of the engines during their search for a downed plane and they could not restart it. Lesson: DON'T report things if you don't have the FACTS straight. Brokaw should know better.
So Martin Luther King gets a national holiday but not Louie Zamperini what a travesty! And this is coming from a African American!GLORY TO THE LAMB BLESSINGS FOREVER!
He lived 97 years despite facing tons of days when death looked quite possible for him. What a story. What a man he was.
I just watched this movie. I gotta tell you, I was pretty touched by it. My father has been a prisoner for thirty three years in Iran. His story may never be known. However, at the end of this movie we're reminded of forgiveness through faith! Rest in peace Louie, I am your son!
I'd like to here your father's story.
Another movie could be made about that one, believe me!
Is your father still a prisoner
+Alex Mason yes!
+Chris Kent stay strong! My thoughts are with you and your family.
My grate grandpa was in this war and he said "it was the worst thing that could have ever happened to me" he never talks about what he went through he has scars on his back. And sometimes he has nightmares. But he still is happy. I could never be as strong as him or Louie. I respect all the veterans. And I hope everyone does to.
My great gramps also fought during WW2, but he fought on the opposite side (Germany). He told me before he passed that he has seen things most people will never see and to enjoy life while I am still on this earth.
I loved this movie soo much I read the book over and over and over again. When I saw Unbroken I cried. He was really loved and blessed with a great life from God. R.I.P Louie Zamperini
Tom Miller He did go back to Japan. The Bird refused to meet him
Tom Miller that would ve been a very small justice for that man , our creator s gonna punish him in ways we can not think of
Rodrick Davis Yes, twice. & he wanted to forgive the Bird in person. Watanabe is to be pitied. He wouldn't let his pride be humbled.
God lmao.
Its a shame that Zamperini didint live to see this masterpiece
He actually saw the movie. Angelina showed it to him on a laptop while he was in hospital.
Gabby Valladares Oh Good To Know
Dominic Toretto -- Louis is now with Jesus, free from all earthly suffering. What's _really_ a shame is that Jolie didn't include his conversion to Christ or his forgiveness toward his captors. Now THAT would have been a powerful closing scene to the film.
Andy Derksen At the end of the movie it said all those things
***** she said so in an interview :)
The book Unbroken has made me respect all War veterans extremely passionately. Louis' story was just one out of the thousands of others who survived in POW camps. It is truly inspirational and I thank all who served.
I really never cared for Angelina Jolie, but I have to give her credit for this movie! Great Job!!
I saw the movie, and now I'm going to read the book. Wow, I couldn't believe everything Louis lived through. Very inspiring and I'm glad he shared his story. I also heard this movie had been shelved by movie studios for many many years.
Samus Aran -- Book's way better.
Andy Derksen Books are always better. It doesn't mean the film is garbage though.
+musingmike88 yep and apparently the movie was all made according to the real story without crippling the truth
***** Because it has to do with the Japanese? :) I love Japan! :D
This dude has some alpha genes right there.
Really good looking, no quit will, lived like 97years. This man is a beast.
His sperm is worth gold man. Sperm banks prepare.

I don't know why that movie didn't do better, I thought it was great.
It pulled in $163 million at the box office world wide off a budget of $65 million, not shabby actually!!!
My grandpa was in the war. Rest in peace, grandpa Rainy. We miss you.
I watched the film last night. Thought it was very good, Zamperini was a very special man.
Found this book in a thrift store one day at the lowest point in my life and it gave me strength with every page I turned and I want to thank Angelina and the writer for painting the picture it was like I was witnessing every moment, it stole my heart the story and that hero of a man Lou!

Yes from a black woman, love is universal. Even during these hard lonely times now I fine joy thinking of how Lou would react maybe. And I say forgive and strengthen your thoughts of self, girl. Thanks Angelina.
Just imagine if angelina would've been alive in zamperini's time they would make a great couple.
This mans an inspiration for many, the movie really shows what the people did for us during the World Wars. Much Respect,Much Respect
Thank you Louis Zamperini, I am currently reading your book and wanting to see the movie. My great grandpa was a prisnor of war with the Japanese for three years, I respect everybody who has been through hell like this...
Angelina Jolie is a woman of many talents, including directing!!
Great movie!!
WHat? Zamperini is dead? what a shame...God bless his soul
Angelina Jolie has really been making some beautiful and touching films, God bless her and guide her.
Takes a man of courage and guts to forgive...
what a hero! RIP Louie
I love this. I know Louie encouraged her and shared with her God's love.
Zamperini, generation remember you as a great man, your ennemie will fall into oblivion
he was broken emotionally...but unbroken in faith...
in a way it seem to me that only for a short time that Angelina Jolie found a her grandfather for a short time and i don't care what other people think or say about her she will ways be my favorite actress and director all at the same time !!!
Much respect for Angelina for this one. Thank you
before i just like to watch this movie because of jack o conell. i never thought that im gonna love to watch the movie because of the great louie zamparrini. he must be one of the known greatest hero of history. may u rest in peace mr. louie. im so glad i knew your incredible story. your story will inspire us to not give up in all trials and difficulties. m saving this movie so that m gonna show this to my future children someday.
I really hope that Lowie saw this movie before he passed away.
Good news, Michael. Angelina took to him on laptop and watched it with him. :D

He suffered from PTSD until he found his faith in Jesus through his wife...

It was God who preserved him
Lord, have mercy on me😭😭 this movie pierced my heart, I don't have words for it😭😭😭 thank you so much, sir
read the book.a lot better than the movie
if the movie pierced your heart, the book is gonna shatter it into million pieces. please do read it. it has 444 pages, but it's SO worth reading it.
mima b. Wow, I will read! Thanks, girl! Did you have tears running down?😭
yes i was tearing up a lot. there were even times when i had to stop reading to collect myself, no exaggeration. this book is a hell of an experience.
I see Louie Zamperini right next to me he is truly an amazing person he is never going to leave us because he knows how he can be important to someone who has been going through a lot in someone life witch was me when I needed someone there and he always there 😊
The movie is censored. Just before it's release Louis Zamperini died, and the rest of story, the most important part, was left out.
thank you Angie
😍 This is going to be the most beautiful story❤️
This is NOT the complete interview, so hoped to see the interview as televised again. Guess NBC felt the original interview was not PC enough. Interview as shown on TV was amazing. so much left out of this.
Angelina Jolie was so kind and gracious to Louis Zamoerini. God Bless her.
Rest in peace Louise Zamperini😭💗💗
It's sad he died after such an amazing life, however it must've been good to have a film made about him released just before he died.
the real forest gump and he's not even a tard.
jetshockey5 if you knew me, I've trained alongside MMA champions and they wouldn't talk like that to me. If you we were face to face you'd start crying. Tough guy. Don't be so presumptuous the next time you mouth off to a total stranger.
@@mozfonky I'm a 16 year old white kid and I'd still mouth off to you face to face you disrespectful, arrogant, bullying sack of shit
That movie was amazing its the best movie i have ever seen
Q legal esse homem tem uma história de cair o queixo 🥺
I just hope Japan doesn't get so offended by this movie that they launch a cyber attack on Universal Pictures, and then threaten to blow up American Movie Theatres. #SavetheInterview #theinterview
We won't cyber attack.Only thing Universal has to do is announcing "unbroken is untrue story".So simple.

Rest in piece Louis Zamperini.
Louis what a great man!
Great job Angelina 👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️
This movie was sooooo good!
ils sont beaux tous les deux. Ce film m'a boulversé.
to angelina i say well done,long after were gone this life story will live on as one of the greatest stories told, to louis memory if he were still alive i would shake his hand and give him a big warm hug.he trulied suffered and lived to tell us the true story of war and hate and mental fragility. i know this if it had been me ,i would have giving up proberly in the boat.
his plane wasn't shot down! it was the green hornet it was a plane they used for parts! but they were stuck with the shitty plane on a rescue mission!!
Amazing!
Louie, a true American Hero !
You are my hero Louie
I just got done reading the book. Small correction to the video here I think, someone correct me if I am incorrect. Louis' bomber did not get shot down. One of the engines gave out.

So what do you say about that?
Maybe he saw a couple finished scenes. Because she said "it was the hardest thing she had ever done", so he knew about it if anything
No, she went to the hospital and was able to show him an unpolished cut of the film on her laptop. Like without the music or anything for the finished release. Still got to see the movie.
Didn’t know they dated
Read the book.
My next trip to Japan I will wear a T shirt featuring that fine piece of Boeing engineering.......the B-29!
Well Japan is one of the US's strongest allies rn. They're helping us against China.
R.I.P Louie
I just watched the movie and I was not very impressed. There was so much that the movie missed including the illness that Louie had during his time, it didn't even begin to capture the abusiveness of "The Bird" and it didn't very well show his deep friendships with the other POWs and their creativeness when it came to get getting food and paper.
Don't get me wrong, it was a good movie, but I think that the story of Louis Zamperini can not be properly told in an hour and half long movie. It can't even scratch the surface.
yes exactly. i first watched the movie and only then read the book. the differences are HUGE and i was surprised how many important things were missing in the movie.
Well that's why the books are always going to be more detailed. If anything the movie can draw more attention to the book and we can find out more.
The messege was jesus christ. They missed biggest part of his life. Jesus christ was what fixed him.
i love this man & respect him so much but i don't want his luck i want his will power yeah but never his luck
Your the best
Read The Devil at my Heels by Louis Zamperini himself.
Truly a great book
The Zamp is a champ!
كلش حبيت هلفلم
Read the book, a masterpiece. It's far better than the movie.
THe crazy thing is that he died a few months later...before his movie get premieredd
Merry Christmas Mr.Lawrence?
Wasn't the run like a 5k or something?
👍👍👍👍 !!!!
he couldn't saw his Movie 😢😢😢😢😢
Book is awsome
Watch his interview with greg laurie! So funny and humble! RIP
I saw the movie. It's awesome. I can't believe that how American has been generous to understand against the enemy, Japan. It's illegal to praise Nazi, but it's okay to praise
Japan's culture and flag of II WW and so on in America even both of them had caused II WW.
In the movie, the characters said "If we win, we're dead". How come they weren't killed when they got word that the Allies had defeated Japan ?
Everyone in that generation is pretty much dead.
The message was "The war is over" how do you come to a conclusion that the 'Allies' won could have been America.
***** Hiroshima and Nagasaki were demolished by the U.S atom bombs.. so doesn't that mean it was America ?
Rodrick Davis Even if I'm wrong. When he say's "If the allies win we die" It was a dream (in the movie)
There is my Louie
WHY do they keep saying "the plane was shot down???". Mr. Zamperini's plane was NOT shot down. Did they read the book "unbroken"? The flight engineer accidently turned off one of the engines during their search for a downed plane and they could not restart it. Lesson: DON'T report things if you don't have the FACTS straight. Brokaw should know better.
Tom Brokaw looks older than Zamperini.
Great film .wouldn't mind a new tomb raider film too
Aww I wonder how Jolie reacted to his death
She was happy and did a party.....dumbass of course she was sad
RODRIGUES MARIE CONCESSION Lmao you rekt that kid
There's something a little, I dunno, Hollywood about Angelina, ... I guess I'm going to do some research about her mansions now...
Kuş öldü Louie

The Plane Wasnt Shot Down!!!
did he get to see the movie? i know he died in 2014
No he died shortly before it was released
He did, Angeline Jolie showed him the movie on her laptop when he was in the hospital, she even talked about it in the end of the video :)
It wasn’t shot down
He should've told her about Christ... Notice she only referred to human spirit grrr
This movie washed over such a big part of his life all because it involved him being a Christian.
So Martin Luther King gets a national holiday but not Louie Zamperini what a travesty!GLORY TO THE LAMB BLESSINGS FOREVER!
The shittiest part of this film is that Louis Zamperini was played by a British actor.
Good movie jolie. At last, I don't have to see any unnecessary 18sx movie...
A good story that could have made a great movie ruined by a crap directing job
you think they banged
It sucks that she botched this film and completely missed the point of his story.
She did not. Will you quit being a jerk, please?
So Martin Luther King gets a national holiday but not Louie Zamperini what a travesty! And this is coming from a African American!GLORY TO THE LAMB BLESSINGS FOREVER!
A lazy movie that didnt bother to put in the effort to tell his story the way it SHOULD have been told. Read the book! F the movie.
