Hacksaw Ridge is pretty awesome
Posted by tduecen on 2/25/17 at 10:48 pm114
I know people focused on the accent but the dude is from Virginia, he won't sound like a southern Louisiana kid. Overall I am 45 minutes in and I find it great so far.

I just watched this tonight and it is an amazing story. I just read his medal of honor citation on his wiki page and the movie really didn't cover all that he accomplished. It almost undersold a lot of it, if that is possible..

Just finished it. What a wild story. Can't believe they toned down some of the stuff he actually did because what I saw was absolutely amazing/heroic.

SPOILERS
To be honest, I had a problem with it too, especially how an annoyingly large part of the film was over him even getting training on using a gun. The movie establishes him not killing by that point, which is easy to see and digest for the viewer, but leaves the explanation as to why he refuses to touch a gun until far after that plotline was resolved.
I spent too long during the build up to the court martial thinking he was an idiot for not going to the range.

This is just one part of his citation..
"On May 21, in a night attack on high ground near Shuri, he remained in exposed territory while the rest of his company took cover, fearlessly risking the chance that he would be mistaken for an infiltrating Japanese and giving aid to the injured until he was himself seriously wounded in the legs by the explosion of a grenade. Rather than call another aid man from cover, he cared for his own injuries and waited 5 hours before litter bearers reached him and started carrying him to cover. The trio was caught in an enemy tank attack and Pfc. Doss, seeing a more critically wounded man nearby, crawled off the litter; and directed the bearers to give their first attention to the other man. Awaiting the litter bearers' return, he was again struck, by a sniper bullet while being carried off the field by a comrade, this time suffering a compound fracture of one arm. With magnificent fortitude he bound a rifle stock to his shattered arm as a splint and then crawled 300 yards over rough terrain to the aid station"
Like I said, they really didn't give justice to what the guy did and went through. I don't know if you can do that in a movie. Good movie, but an even greater story..

The real story is more incredible than the movie. They couldn't include everything. He did too much.

Mel said they deliberately left out some of Desmond Doss' more heroic moments because they were so incredible people wouldn't believe they actually happened.
Terry Benedict, who directed the documentary on Doss, confirmed Mel's statement.

I'm willing to bet he was way more of a badass than you are.

Yea I just watched it last night. Was definitely one of my favorite movies I've seen this year. Andrew Garfield should win best performance but he won't due to last years race debacle.
