An amazing, unforgettable, and inspiring true story of bravery, courage, and endurance. It was definitely as good as all the hype about it said it was. I enjoyed Louis Zamperini's spirit as he refused to let anything break him. I'll never forget the memorable scenes from his life such as his time at the Olympics from 1936 where he stole a German flag, his harrowing experiences on a small rubber raft in the Pacific ocean where he fought off sharks to survive, and his brutal treatment by a Japanese madman after his imprisonment that almost became his undoing. Even that he overcame with a little divine intervention and he even learned to forgive his captors. His story is a shining example of the resilience of the human spirit. I cannot recommend it enough.
