[QUOTE="HeadlightsMom, post: 643256, member: 18284"] Albatross -- Yes, Louie Zamperini was a bit of a difficult child, himself. Not in certain diagnosable ways, but in certain behaviors, oh yes, indeedy. Because of his life challenges (which were severe), he took it to the next level. I find it unfathomable how he survived. Wow. I mean.... W-O-W! I did a fact check on it and it appears there "might" be a wee bit of exaggerating. However, to exaggerate 5 heroic acts out of a 100+ is no big thing to me. The sentiment remains the same. He chose boldness. Actually, now that I look back on the movie, I think the greatest strength Louie Zamperini lived out (in the film, at least) is that he rarely (if ever) doubted himself past a certain point). He doubted himself constantly in his youth. But once he decided to train to be a runner, he also decided to train to NOT doubt himself. It was pretty clear he wasted no extra energy on doubting himself......he spent ALL of his energy on positives and survival. A great lesson to remember! [/QUOTE]
