Do see it. You will be searching the dictionary for a synonym to fetishness. People think it’s inspiring to young people to watch two hours of a guy getting beaten, no. It is not
Zamperinis story has the perfect combination of independent thinking, discipline, devotion to faith, normal male motivations, legal immigrant devotion to country and endurance with hope and humor
Jolie turns that opportunity into two hours of prison porn
Is most of the movie really him being beaten? We are seeing it later today...I think.
The Soft Sciences have been corrupted.
However, I do wish that serious people could take an honest look at modern views of sexuality and male-female relationships. I think there is strange stuff going on, and I think some of the fetishes out there are probably quite revealing about the health of our society. As an example: many women seem to shave their public hair -- what does THAT say about men? Not anything good.
Prison porn and watching a man be beaten for 2 hours? That also probably reflects badly on someone's psychological health.
Prison Porn, eh? Don’t know what that is, but a strange way to characterize it.
Well, I haven’t seen it yet, so I’ll let you know what I think.
I don't see how it would be possible to tell the story without showing the violence and most of the book was, indeed, a torturous experience for Zamperini and his fellow boat and prison mates.
Personally, in listening to the book is it amazing to me that the prisoners didn't just turn on their guards and murder them in their beds regardless of the consequences that would have followed.
Another conclusion that I made is that cultures are not equal. I was very uplifed by Zamperini’s later religious conversion, dedication to doing the Lord's will, his willingness to forgive, and the positive outcome that this conversion had on the remainder of his life.
After reading the book, seeing your comments, and then watching the movie; I don't think you could be more wrong if you tried.
Given that she only had a little over two and a half hours to tell the story. The high points were all there. His delinquent youth, redemption through sports, the air battles, 47 days on a raft, and brutality of his POW experience.
It might have been a better miniseries, but this movie presented it in such a way that some viewers will want to read the book.
