Mla Citation For The Movie Unbroken

In Unbroken, you can meet Louis Zamperini, a man with an astonishing life story. Beginning as the ruffian son of Italian immigrants, Louis finds himself inspired by his older brother’s advice ‘If you can take it, you can make it,” carrying the mantra with him through his years of life. He then becomes a track and field runner where Louis impresses the world with a record final lap in the 1936 Olympic games, where he feels he can do anything.
Soon afterwards, World War II stars and Louis finds himself dreaming of an Olympic return from the skies over the Pacific Ocean as he and his fellow soldiers make bombing runs against the Japanese empire. When their plane goes down over open water, Louis and the two surviving soldiers find themselves stranded

It’s a breakout performance that showcase O’Connel as a performer, from his physicality to the subtly of his emotion and the seriousness of his presence in some of the movie’s big dramatic moments.

While all together, O’Connell and Ishihara create an electric chemistry as opposing forces in a war of willpower. Ishihara is subtle in his portrayal of The Bird, supplying enough implication to create a three-dimensional villain but in the end, allows sympathy for his
