UNBROKEN<\/strong><\/p>\n

Universal Pictures<\/strong><\/p>\n

Reviewed for Shockya by Harvey Karten. Data-based on Rotten Tomatoes.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Grade:\u00a0 B<\/strong><\/p>\n

Director:\u00a0 Angelina Jolie<\/strong><\/p>\n

Screenwriter:\u00a0 Joel Coen, Ethan Coen, Richard LaGravenese, William Nicholson, based on Laura Hillenbrand\u2019s book<\/strong><\/p>\n

Cast:\u00a0 Jack O\u2019Connell, Domhnail Gleeson, Miyavi\u00a0 Garrett Hedlund, Finn Wittrock<\/strong><\/p>\n

Screened at:\u00a0 Rose Hall at Time Warner Center, NYC, 12\/4\/14<\/strong><\/p>\n

Opens:\u00a0 December 25, 2014<\/strong><\/p>\n

Next time you go ballistic when the bartender waters your drink or feel murderous when the tailor cuts your pants legs too short, think of how much better off you are than Louis Zamperini.\u00a0 Fighting in the Japanese theater in World War II, he has the misfortune to suffer a double engine loss on his aircraft, leaving him and two buddies on a rubber lifeboat in the middle of the ocean for forty-five days.\u00a0 Forget about the sharks that encircle the boat.\u00a0 Falling prey to one of them might be a blessing, considering the lack of food and water or living space, nor do the men have much hope of being rescued.\u00a0 Rescued by the good guys that is.\u00a0 When they are picked up by the Japanese navy, there\u2019s good news and bad news.\u00a0 The good news is that they\u2019re on dry land.\u00a0 The bad news is that they are taken to one, then another, prison camp, subjected to torments by guards who must think the Geneva Convention is a meeting of dental lab technicians in a Swiss hotel.<\/p>\n

While \u201cUnbroken,\u201d the feature by Angelina Jolie that is based on Laura Hillenbrand\u2019s book\u2014which remained a New York Times best seller for four years\u2014packs a punch, in fact quite a few of those, the movie cannot compare to the visceral sensations communicated by Hillenbrand.\u00a0 The long passages of detail to get across the suffering of the prisoners cannot be reduced to typical anti-war propaganda. They are exquisitely written, the book being a page-turner while the movie simply does not carry the same impact to the audience.\u00a0 Quite a few reviewers have reported that they felt unmoved, that the movie was stodgy and stagey.\u00a0 But maybe it\u2019s not fair to expect a film to be as good as the source material.\u00a0 Thanks to an awards-worthy performance from Jack O\u2019Connell, the title unbroken fellow\u2014the same actor who riveted attention in the dialogue-challenged \u201cStarred Up\u201d\u2014\u201cUnbroken is a movie to see and could cut some ice with the Academy when it becomes time to nominate and vote awards.<\/p>\n

The movie opens with some exciting action sequences as an American crew head for a target somewhere in Japan. Bombs are flying, zeroes (Japanese aircraft so-called because the Japanese flag symbol is a red circle against a white background) are shot down. In the midst of the action, director Jolie flashes back to Zamperini\u2019s youth (played by CJ.\u00a0 Valleroy), an Italian-American who is beaten by his peers who use anti-Italian pejoratives to justify their action.\u00a0 This bullying only motivates Zamperini to be the best he can in track, and with extensive training, he makes the German Olympics of 1936, the event that found Jesse Owens winning four gold medals.\u00a0 (In the book, Louis confers with Hitler, but this is deleted from the film.)<\/p>\n

When Louis\u2019 plane loses engine power, he and two other survivors cling to life with virtually no planes flying overhead that could rescue them. There is an awful lot of water in the world.\u00a0 Forty-five days later, having eaten a seagull with disastrous results and raw fish that kept them alive and probably made them swear off sushi restaurants for life, they are captured by a Japanese naval vessel, and transferred to a prison camp where Musuhiro Watanabe (Miyavi), nicknamed \u201cthe Bird,\u201d takes a particular antipathy to Zamperini.\u00a0 The bilingual, feminine-appearing Watanabe beats the man unmercifully and daily with his wooden stick and whip and in one horrendous event forces the entire corps of American prisoners to each punch him in the face.<\/p>\n

At war\u2019s end, when the men believed they will all be killed, they receive the best news of their lives and Zamperini returns to a hero\u2019s welcome.\u00a0 As the epilogue states, he dies this year at the age of 97.<\/p>\n

As mentioned, the film is dutiful, a traditional biopic told according to the usual conventions.\u00a0 Somehow the brutality of the treatment suffered by the Americans is not as moving as it should be, when contrasted to the graphic renditions of the superior book.\u00a0 Yet \u201cUnbroken,\u201d with its PG-13 rating (ironically, actual violence as opposed to cartoonish mayhem does not get an \u201cR\u201d rating), evokes almost a patriotic duty to see.
