Review: the film maintains a constant graphic, keeping alive the interest, but also feel like a mounting other films scenes (better). It was after Luis and his colleagues are blocked on the raft that the film really takes off and Angelina Jolie comes into its own as a director. Suffering from sunburn, and survive on rainwater and killing and eating sharks, the situation is grim, but Jolie is able to find humor even in difficult situations. She tries her hardest to make the film goes so sincere and not emotionally manipulative, and she got a hit more often.
Angelina Jolie is the latest in line to try your luck at the box office. Jolie made an interesting first film in 2011 with The Land of Milk and Honey, a film set in the Bosnian war with a cast of actors that includes only the Bosnian Serbs. The film received a poor reception and never saw a big theatrical release. Jolie returns this week with "Unbroken", a film which has repeatedly called his "labor of love".
"Unbroken" is basically a love letter to Louis Zamperini, a popular American Olympic athlete of Italian origin who served his country during World War II-2 and was subsequently captured and tortured by the Japanese. The film shows the journey of being a rebel teenager who smoked and drank a prisoner of war who survived 47 days on a raft without food or water and never have in your country.
As Zamperini was captured by the Japanese and sent to a number of prisoners of war camps, the film manages to find its sweet spot and continues to grow on you more and more. The brutal representation of these areas has its own poetic qualities, with Louis strange formation love-hate relationship with his Japanese jailer "The Bird" Watanabe. Well, not love love but attachment Stockholm Syndrome-ish where no fine words are actually exchanged. It is this relationship between captor captive sets the film share similar theme. Time to Zamperini in the Japanese camps are the times that you take with you in mind.
Once Jolie finds its legs in the unusual position of director, art and skill from impressive imitative. She supervises realistic procedures, always at the forefront, but will never really too far with theatricality and hero worship. It helps that she has a talented group of writers who have back, including talented directors / writers / brothers Joel and Ethan Coen. She has an eye for small personal moments, while also holding the last message seen the film - the will to live and survive can overcome what life throws you troubles. In addition, she manages to extract the best from all the players, which is not nothing for a director with no experience.
Technically, the director of photography Roger Deakins deserves applause for beautifully capturing the subtle nuances of the war. Combat sequences prison camps, all the scenes and the location is beautiful and shot. The special effects are inconsistent at best, good for a few scenes and unreliable in others. The musical score by Alexandre Desplat is disturbing and inappropriate.
Although Jolie could be supported, the real star and anchor of the film is Jack O'Connell Louis Zamperini. It starts as a rebel, but naive teenager who collects worldwide fame for his performance in the Olympics, and O'Connell plays simply and with a straight face. With it being blocked and hard to get food, O'Connell's physical transformation is remarkable. A face like toothpicks and an even slimmer waist, protruding ribs, you can not stop staring in amazement while trying to keep his sanity. Finally, with his capture by the Japanese and the almost daily beatings he make it look all pow little hard it is to lose all hope, but he still has something to prove. For two hours or more, and is Zamperini Zamperini is. O'Connell is certainly the favorite in the race for the Oscars this year for its absolutely fascinating and nuanced performance.
Even the supporting players leave an indelible mark on your mind. Domhnall Gleeson as Phil, his teammate Luis who is also stuck with it, giving a moving performance and acts as the perfect complement O'Connell histrionics. Miyavi Watanabe plays the jailer threatened supreme superiority complex, and it actually makes you hate him so much that you have to admire his performance. Other prisoners in the field of war are more efficient, not only acts as a background noise.
Unbroken lower their expectations with a promising start but unspectacular, so it will take in an inspiring and poignant journey of a small California town in detention camps in central Japan. While it may not be a revolutionary film, which marks a turning point behind the lens attached Jolie and performance to star Jack O'Connell. This is an excellent start to the year for the film world, it is necessary to participate.
