Went to see this with my dad who was a prisoner himself of the Japanese. He spent time on the Burma Thailand railway and was shipped to Japan in 44 to work in the coalmines. He said conditions in the mines were actually better due to the fact they could actually have a rest because they could see the guards head lamps coming. He was Private Neil Macpherson WX16572 2/2 Pioneer Battalion AIF 1941 -1946

Of Course Watanabi didnt want to meet Louie after the war... he was PROVEN to be a lesser man and had no desire to feel that way again. Beaten, starved and worked nearly to death, Louie still stood firm... Watanabi knew in those moments he could NEVER be the man that Louie was, and was shamed.

I read the book some time before and wanted to watch the movie, and this is good for a recap.
I’m so amazed that Louis survived and was so resilient, it makes it one of my favorite stories. One of the things that always shook me was that he forgave them all and went to Tokyo, a place where he suffered so much, and ran with the torch and fulfilled his dream. I cant express how amazing Louis’ story is. I feel happy that he was able to find solace after the war, survive and fulfill his dreams.

Dude, the respect this man deserves is more then any single country can put together. A hero to end all

[PerplexinWarThunder]

So this guy actually spoke at my high school and his story has stuck with me ever since. Amazing show of courage and strength! Amazing story. May he Rest In Peace

Louis took Watsonabi’s soul when he raises that log

[DeputyDoink]

I remember watching that movie when I was 10 with my dad the scene where he lifts the log over his head is still one of the most chilling moments I’ve ever watched (in a good way)

I like how he says "fighter jets" when they are clearly propeller planes

Props to Angelina Jolie’s directorial debut on this film. An instant hit.

[carlosmorin]

Holy shit he is an absolute unit man survived what almost no one could

[normalepsilon]

“One moment of pain is worth a lifetime of glory” is the most inspiring and truest quote i have ever heard, Louie was beaten, starved and faced near death and he got the lifetime of glory he was promised

[dallenwrigley]

He definitely deserves to be respected for all his work I have no clue how hard it was but I no it was HARD.

[thediaz]

What a hell of a story... Watanabe was angry that he couldn't break Louie's will but deep down he must've respected his honor. Amazing man.

[lIeaper]

Ngl they kinda left out a lot out in the end, literally after the war he became an abusive alcoholic husband to his wife and kids and even tried to find where watanabe was to try to kill him (All of this is said by HIS OWN WORDS in the book im not just making this up) and Im pretty sure he remarried and then became religious, also they forgot to mention he met hitler in the olympics. He's still a great man who overcame a lot of things but the movie tried to make him look perfect even though he's human like all of us.

If it's a really true story, He was a great character

[noahjones]

My great grandpa was in the Navy during the battle of Iwo Jima. I did not know much about him because he died right before I was born. This is why I watch these kinds of movies to get a better understanding of the times like these other than reading books

[Xerdar]

That’s not what you call a hero…. That is a hero….

[harriswone]

“A moment of pain is worth a lifetime of glory”, I can only dream of being this great and courageous, dude was actually perfect.😱🔥🔥🔥

[Irishman]

I was able to hear Luis speak live before he passed it was an honor!

[bobbobert]

In the highschool race scene, he didn't get tripped, he got spiked. The opponent runner intentionally stomped on his foot with spiked running shoes, essentially stabbing him in the foot.
