How accurate is the Unbroken movie?

So how closely did the filmmakers stick to Zamperini’s account, as told by Hillenbrand?
Quite closely—though, as those reviews have mentioned, a lot of details are left out from the 137-minute running time. The film ends, for instance, soon after the war ends, whereas Hillenbrand spends several chapters delving into what occurred post-war. Below, I take a look at some of the other major ways the movie reflects, and occasionally diverges from, its source.

Keith Conning: I enjoyed reading Unbroken by Laura Hillenbrand. I look forward to seeing the movie.
