7 True Story Movies That Left Out The Real Horrific Ending

Directed by Angelina Jolie, 2014's Unbroken stars Jack O'Connell as Louis Zamperini, a soldier who, in 1943, crash-lands in the ocean during the Second World War, resulting in him being captured by the Japanese and held as a prisoner.

During this time, Zamperini is beaten constantly, but thankfully, he's liberated when the war comes to an end in 1945, allowing him to return home to his family.

This is where the movie ends: Zamperini embraces his loved ones after stepping off a plane and kissing the ground beneath his feet, clearly very grateful to have survived his harrowing ordeal. It's an incredibly moving scene, but in reality, Zamperini was only met with even more struggles after touching down on American soil.

After returning home, Zamperini suffered from PTSD quite heavily, constantly having nightmares about strangling his Japanese captors - nightmares that were so vivid, he even ended up strangling his wife, who was sleeping in the bed next to him. Naturally, the poor woman was terrified, and she decided that she wanted to get a divorce.

Zamperini also became addicted to alcohol, getting drunk every single night in an effort to try and sleep better, which, unsurprisingly, didn't improve his mental state.

Though Zamperini did eventually escape this dark period of his life, the movie seems to indicate that, when he returned home after the war, everything was totally fine for him - but in actual fact, he couldn't shake off the demons of his past.
