CHAPTER 231: Unbroken

Date: 16th February 2015 (Monday)
Location: Hall 1, TGV Mines, Level 3, The Mines, Seri Kembangan

This evening, I planned to use my TGV MovieClub welcome freebies (2 movie tickets and a regular popcorn set) to watch <Unbroken> with Jamran at TGV Mines. I thought I can't choose Preferred Seats with TGV MovieClub welcome freebies but the staff said I can even choose Couple Seats. So, I decided to choose Couple Seats since it's free. Before we entered the cinema hall at 03:00 p.m., we redeemed the free regular popcorn set.

Movie Review
<Unbroken> is a movie which is based on the true story about Louis Zamperini. From his story, it gave us some inspiration such as "don't give up no matter what happened". For example, when Louis is young, he is a troublemaker, he like to steal, drinking liquor and smoking. One day, when he is caught looking up women's dresses under bleachers during the track, he runs. His brother Pete saw how fast he runs and decided to train him to become a runner. At first, he haven't try and he told his brother said he can't do it. Pete said he can and gave him support. Finally, he was qualified for the Olympics. The next story when he was US Army Air Forces officer, one day the planes crash to the ocean due to the engine fails. He and another two pilots, Phil and Mac live on inflatable rafts. He did warn Mac only each two or three pieces of chocolate per day, and he finished up everything. This make Louis was mad because of him. But they won't give up on asked for the help. On the 27th day, they get the attention of a Japanese plane, which strafes the floating rafts but misses them. On the 33rd day Mac dies, leaving only Louis and Phil. On the 47th day, Japanese forces capture Louie and Phil and they become prisoners of war. During these period, the other war prisoners which are US army, they were tortured by the Japanese army and become the slave. It's very cruel when they keep beating and whipping until the prisoner was injured. One day, after Louis sprains his ankle and is unable to work, Watanabe tells him to lift a giant piece of wood. Louis successfully lifts and holds up the wood, angering Watanabe and leading to a harsh beating. From here, we can learned that Louis never give up and finally he is succeed. At the end of the war, Zamperini and the other prisoners in the camp are set free to return to their homes. Back home in America, he kisses the ground and hugs his family. As a conclusion, the movie is suitable for everyone because Louis's previous life is gave us a lot of inspiration. We need to learn Louis's spirit if we want to become successful person.
