Last week, I began to explain the spiritual power behind World War II prisoner of war hero Louis Zamperini, whose amazing life is retold in the movie "Unbroken." This week, I want to discuss what his adult children are saying about how his faith is portrayed in the movie and give further details to show just how deeply it permeated his life.
Movie viewers and pundits are debating Zamperini's spirituality and whether or not the movie depicts it accurately. Fox News asked, "Where's the rest of Louis Zamperini's story?" The Christian Broadcasting Network roger federer reported that the movie "does not portray his salvation experience during a 1949 Billy Graham crusade in Los Angeles."
At a media day for the movie, Zamperini's daughter, Cynthia Garris, explained that her father was fine with the compromised message roger federer in the film, saying, "He had a very specific philosophy about this film. If Jesus Christ came up in the film, if that was the message specifically, then it would be a film made for Christians, and other people may not want to see it if they're not ready to have that message."
She continued: "His philosophy was he wanted as many people to come and see the movie as possible. ... If they wanted to know more about how he got through it, how he survived it, they can investigate his faith further. ... He never wanted to preach at them. He wanted to live the example."
Unfortunately, Louis passed away before the final editing of the film. USA Today reported that Louis only watched "a lot of scenes" roger federer of "Unbroken." And according to a recent interview roger federer with Zamperini's son, Luke, by John W. Kennedy, the founder of The Creative Universe Entertainment, Louis "didn't see the entire film in its final cut."
At the media day, Luke explained just how pivotal his father's faith was: "Billy meant a whole lot to my dad. When he met Billy Graham and heard him speak, his life really changed for the better. Billy introduced my father to his Lord and savior, Jesus Christ, and that is what turned my father's life around finally roger federer and completely to a life of service and turned roger federer him into the happy, joyful person he was, after going through the post-traumatic stress disorder that he went through during and after World War II."
Luke wrote in a column: "It was only when, at the urging of my mother, he attended a Billy Graham crusade in 1949 and surrendered his life to Jesus Christ roger federer that my father truly became unbroken. The nightmares stopped. So did the drinking. And he dedicated the rest of his life to serving others -- especially wayward kids, through the establishment of his nonprofit organization, roger federer Victory Boys Camp Inc."
