Angelina Jolie’s film “Unbroken” is under fire from some in Japan for how it depicts the country’s treatment of prisoners of war during World War II.

The biopic of Olympian and former prisoner of war Louis Zamperini is being ripped by Japanese right-wing nationalist groups for its depiction of torture that Zamperini said he underwent in Japanese prison camps. Specifically, they take issue with scenes involving beatings of Zamperini from an Imperial officer named Mutsuhiro Watanabe, played by Japanese musical star Miyavi. The scenes were described in Laura Hillenbrand’s biography of the same name and based on Zamperini’s own accounts.

Hiromichi Moteki, the secretary general of the Society for the Dissemination of Historical Fact, told London’s Telegraph publication, “It’s pure fabrication. If there is no verification of the things he said, then anyone can make such claims. This movie has no credibility and is immoral.”

Here’s where I don’t suggest Googling “Bataan Death March.”

Some in Japan are calling for the country to ban Jolie, according to the New York Daily News.

Zamperini, who died in July, was part of the crew of a bomber that crashed in the Pacific in May 1943. Survivors drifted for 47 days. Zamperini and one other airman were eventually picked up by a Japanese warship.

Zamperini, whose fame as an runner at the 1936 Berlin Olympics prompted the Japanese to use him as a propaganda tool, remained in various prison camps until the war ended in August 1945.
