A harrowing real life story of Louis Zamperini. A compelling motivation to push past personal limitations, sour hardships, & unforeseen dire circumstances. Especially when faced with the challenging adversities that test what you’re made of.
⚠️ PG13 This movie isn’t for the faint of heart; while as a whole it is powerful & inspirational film, there significant elements of war-time brutality and the cruel treatment of PoWs. The main character goes through many trials over the course of his life and this film captures some of the most intense moments of being lost at sea and taken prisoner by enemy forces of WWII. I think some of life’s greatest lessons are our ability to remain even when it’s a lose-lose situation. To have the courage & honor to accept what is for the sake of a greater purpose. Sometime all you can do brace for impact and nosedive without forgetting to cherish the good time and loved ones in your life. Often I have to remind myself of his attitude/ conviction of "If you can it, You can make it". Which has gotten me through my share of difficult times to strive for achievements even when my spirits are low and I don’t feel like showing up. And that when the going gets tough; the tough get going.
