I've been thinking about this film for days now. It takes you through the journey of a U.S. fighter pilot, Dieter Dengler (Christian Bale) trying to escape a Vietnam POW camp. The most moving part of this film for me is watching Dieter's amazing resolve to survive against all odds. His positive outlook and ingenuity truly enabled him to plot against his captures. This being based on a true story makes me process this film differently, and ask myself if I could survive in that situation. I’ve struggled with thinking that I’m not sure how I’d handle a similar situation, and I pray that I’ll never have to. It’s a truly great film highlighting the mysterious depths of the human spirit when faced with great challenges. Now I want to watch the documentary on Dieter, “Little Dieter Needs to Fly”, to pay homage to this inspiring man.
