Unbreakable Spirit

Films in Focus: Unbreakable Spirit

I guess some former Hollywood A-listers are past their prime and will do anything for a buck. Such is the case with Bruce Willis, who stars in a Chinese-made WWII flick entitled Unbreakable Spirit (formerly The Bombing). According to Cinema Escapist, “Unbreakable Spirit aims to dramatize Chinese resistance during the Bombing of Chongqing, which lasted from 1938-1943. Located deep inland, Chongqing served as China’s temporary capital from 1937-1946, as Japan captured many coastal cities including the formal capital Nanjing. Aiming to crush China’s government,  Japan flew 268 raids over Chongqing. The raids killed over 10,000 civilians and destroyed much of the city center.”

While the CGI generated combat scenes look decent enough, we’ll leave it up to you decide when this film will go straight to video in the english-speaking market and whether or not its worthy of serious discussion as a war tribute.
