The Amazing true story Hacksaw Ridge is a film people need to see
Films about War come out all the time in Hollywood. Yet there are few films that come out like Hacksaw Ridge. This is a film that tells an interesting tale about a man and some impressive things he did. I liked it when I saw it in theaters and jumped at the chance to get a review copy. Here is what I thought of this well made movie.
You can read the plot for Hacksaw Ridge here:
The extraordinary true story of conscientious objector Desmond T. Doss who saved 75 men in Okinawa, during the bloodiest battle of WWII, without firing a single shot. Believing that the war was just but killing was nevertheless wrong, he was the only American soldier in WWII to fight on the front lines without a weapon. As an army medic Doss single-handedly evacuated the wounded near enemy lines – braving enemy fire and putting his own life on the line. He was the first conscientious objector to ever win the Congressional Medal of Honor.
I really enjoyed watching Hacksaw Ridge again. It has a great cast, a strong plot and wonderful special effects that help bring this film to gruesome life. There is a really good special feature on here called ‘The Soul of War: Making Hacksaw Ridge’. It gives a vivid account of all the work that was put in to bring this story to life, and some of the bumps in the road along the way.
