Unbroken by Laura Hillenbrand. This s drama film—related article is a stub. You can help Wikipedia by expanding it. The denial is persistent, however, even as Zamperini finds the love of his life and tries to begin life anew. The days lost in the sea or months spent in the POW should become mere unpleasant memories.
But Watanbe is always there, whispering in his ear, telling him how he will never be free. In this instance, the tormentor is right. Survival does not mean freedom. In the well-crafted background of the s, Zamperini and his wife Cynthia, played by Merritt Patterson, try to survive not only the aftereffects of war and captivity, but also unemployment. The broken man blames God for all his suffering, and the problem of pain threatens to claim yet another soul.
The second act of the movie depicts his slow and heart-breaking descent into alcoholism and estrangement. It is no coincidence that the bar Zamperini frequents is called Wormwood.
The name of that familiar demon from C. His tortured mind looks for an escape at the bottom of a bottle, but still, as a victim of violence, he is fixated on the idea of revenge. As Zamperini tries to find a way to confront Watanabe, he becomes a stranger to his wife, to his daughter and to his family. He slowly changes from within.
The turning point comes when the broken man hears God voice through the constant chatter of lies in his head. The truth comes to him in a crusader tent, spoken by Billy Graham.

However, this movie, I must confess, was not easy to watch. I have gotten used to watching epic adventures where humor is found in the most unlikely places. Really life, alas, is not like that.

Billy Graham Andrew Caldwell This inspiring film, directed by Harold Cronk, is replete with themes of forgiveness, family, and faith.
In the midst of misery, true laughter is forgotten and peace is lost. I had the similar discomfort watching Paul, Apostle of Christ. These are not the movies one would watch for entertainment. These are the movies that make us uneasy so that a new appreciation for the faith can surface through the distractions of daily life.
As a Catholic, it bothered me that Zamperini stays in the evangelical church and never comes back to his Catholic roots. His family is depicted as a joyful, wholesome family who are deeply tied to their Catholic faith.
The only priest shown in the movie is a soft-spoken and kind man of God that tells Zamperini that God is not responsible for what happened, but the bitter survivor is not ready to listen yet. He does not need God until he is completely lost.
Catholicism of his parents remains skin-deep.
