Hacksaw Ridge is a true story of Desmond Doss (Andrew Garfield), a medic during WII in the battle of Okinawa, who saved the lives of 75 men without handling a weapon. He was conscientious objector who believed that killing was wrong and saving people who were injured was the moral thing to do.
In general, I thought that this was a great film. It gave me an even closer insight of what WWII was actually like. In some movies that I have watched about WWII they don't show the gruesome
events that actually happened whereas Hacksaw Ridge was very gruesome and at times it even seemed horrific, but it gave me a closer experience of what war was actually like. The family aspects of this film were also a major part in the movie. Growing up as a child Desmond Doss had an alcoholic father who had served in WWI. His father demands his sons not to join the war because he believes that both of them will die, but they refuse his orders and sign up anyways. Another reason for me liking this film is because of my religion background and my beliefs. I grew up Catholic and I am also big believer in not killing and helping out others in need. Lastly, I am huge fan of this movie because it was a film that told a story I had never heard before. The last thing I want is a movie that is a remake of another movie.
