The battle on Hacksaw Ridge was extremely bloody. The total deaths on Okinawa (the land battle) was 7000. Of those 7000 KIA 2500 were on Hacksaw Ridge. The underground fortress the Japanese built was described as an underground battleship. The Japanese also fought to inflict as many casualties on the Americans as possible. They hoped the Americans would grow weary of the war and the Japanese could get a favorable peace negotiated.

[@MidniteRider-ls8df]

he actually saved over 150 men, but they left it at 75 believing people would think it was too unbelievable

[@sianne79]

Small correction: His unit insisted it was well over 100 men and probably close to 150. Doss said it was 50. 75 was the compromise between the Army and Doss on his MoH form, it had absolutely nothing to do with the movie. Two things that WERE deemed too unbelievable to go in the movie by director Mel "Needs More Flying Severed Body Parts" Gibson : Doss was one of the guys stringing up the cargo net every day (It was only the last 35 feet that needed the net, not the entire way up the cliff. They had to set the nets every day because unlike the Japanese in this movie, the actual Imperial troops had the critical thinking skills to figure out very quickly that if you didn't want invading Americans to climb your cliff and run amock through your battlefield, the most logical thing to do is cut their gawdam nets down) Doss gave up his stretcher for another wounded soldier, and took a bullet to the arm from a tank gunner and decided it was too risky for medics to come get him so he got back on his own by dragging himself 300 yards with his elbows.

[@scottdarden3091]

Hacksaw Ridge was not his only battle.

[@mikealvarez2322]

At the beginning of the movie Andrew Garfield reads from the Bible a passage from Isaiah 40:31, " the Lord is the everlasting God....He gives strength to the weak.....you will run and not grow weary....." It's important to remember these passages as you think about what Desmond did on Hacksaw Ridge. Things to consider: 1. Desmond was not a big man. He was 5 feet 8 inches tall and weighed 145 pounds. 2. He was suffering from the early stages of tuberculosis which he picked up in either the Philippines or Guam. He was diagnosed with the disease in 1946. 3. Desmond was a vegetarian, which means he did not have the extended energy one gets from protein. 4. Desmond carried, dragged, assisted, and lowered at least 75 men who we can estimate averaged 150 pounds each. Let's do the math: 75 X 150 = 11,250 pounds that Desmond moved on Hacksaw Ridge So how did he do it? Go back to the passage from Isaiah.

Great reaction Aria like always. This movie is so emotional, there are some fun-facts about it. Doss’s son watched the screening of the movie. It’s said he was moved to tears as he saw the great job that Andrew Garfield did in portraying his father. Mel Gibson said that the war scenes were based on his nightmares. Mel Gibson’s father was a WWII veteran that would tell his son of his days on the battlefield as bedtime stories. There’s no doubt that there would be a few restless nights following that. Mel Gibson was originally mean to take the role of Sergeant Howell but wanted to stay focused on directing instead. Doss was not the only man to serve without a weapon. There were several individuals that refused to carry a weapon and were granted the opportunity to serve without touching a rifle. And the real story is WAY crazier he saved over 150 people but wouldn't take credit for it, he was wounded like 19 freaking times, it's UNREAL that he did all that most of the time while starving since he wouldn't eat the meat based rations... Insane hero, EVERYONE should know who he was. I read that Desmond insisted he saved 50 that particular night. The army said it was 100. So they compromised and reported 75. Certain people's real lives exceed what fiction can handle. Doss was one of them, he was a fcking Superman. Keep up the good.

I was a Navy Corpsman (counterpart to Doss's medic) of the 10 years I served 8 were with Marines. Doss's story was well known to me. Many years after WWII, I toured the Pacific. Stationed on Okinawa. For me I was following the footsteps of my granddad, himself a Navy Seabee. (Since you are almost done with the Pacific, the Seabees were on the same islands as the Marines at the same time) towards the end of my tour I was fortunate enough to stand on Hacksaw. It is now a Peace Park dedicated to Doss.

[@robertlombardo8437]

The Marines must love Desmond Doss. They were so impressed by the 77th Infantry during the war in the Pacific, they apparently started calling them the 77th Marine Division. 😂 You believe that?

Another very good movie that happens to be set in a civil war that they were not a part of. The depiction of the Chinese might have been accurate, but they are still inscrutable to my western mind. A truly excellent role by Steve McQueen right up with his character in "The Great Escape" also released in 1966,

[@PriceOfLibertyEternalVigilance]

Hacksaw Ridge tones down the heroism of Desmond Doss because Mel Gibson felt audiences would find it too hard to believe. After taking the brunt of a grenade blast to save his fellow soldiers on Okinawa during World War II, Desmond Doss was left with 17 pieces of shrapnel stuck in him, an injury that's shown in the movie. He waited for five hours until fellow soldier Ralph Baker was able to reach him. Baker, along with several other men, carried Desmond on a litter through an intense enemy attack. What's not shown is that as they were moving him, Desmond saw another soldier on the ground who was badly wounded. He rolled off the litter and crawled over to patch the man up. Desmond gave up his litter to the man. While waiting for help to come back, Desmond was wounded again, this time by a sniper's bullet that shattered his left arm. He fashioned a splint out of a rifle stock and crawled the remaining 300 yards under fire, eventually reaching the safety of an aid station. He was transported to the hospital ship Mercy.

[@texastea.2734]

First movie based on true story that had to tone down his actions, and hacksaw was not his first but third battle with guam and Leyte gulf being his first and second His official MOH citation reads as “He was a company aidman when the 1st Battalion assaulted a jagged escarpment 400 feet high. As our troops gained the summit, a heavy concentration of artillery, mortar, and machine-gun fire crashed into them, inflicting approximately 75 casualties and driving the others back. Pfc. Doss refused to seek cover and remained in the fire-swept area with the many stricken, carrying them one by one to the edge of the escarpment and there lowering them on a rope-supported litter down the face of a cliff to friendly hands. On 2 May, he exposed himself to heavy rifle and mortar fire in rescuing a wounded man 200 yards forward of the lines on the same escarpment; and two days later he treated four men who had been cut down while assaulting a strongly defended cave, advancing through a shower of grenades to within eight yards of enemy forces in a cave's mouth, where he dressed his comrades' wounds before making four separate trips under fire to evacuate them to safety. On 5 May, he unhesitatingly braved enemy shelling and small-arms fire to assist an artillery officer. He applied bandages, moved his patient to a spot that offered protection from small-arms fire, and, while artillery and mortar shells fell close by, painstakingly administered plasma. Later that day, when an American was severely wounded by fire from a cave, Pfc. Doss crawled to him where he had fallen 25 feet from the enemy position, rendered aid, and carried him 100 yards to safety while continually exposed to enemy fire. On 21 May, 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 aidman from cover, he cared for his own injuries and waited five 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, 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. Through his outstanding bravery and unflinching determination in the face of desperately dangerous conditions Pfc. Doss saved the lives of many soldiers. His name became a symbol throughout the 77th Infantry Division for outstanding gallantry far above and beyond the call of duty.” This entire citation could be the movie, but no one would believe it happened giving up his stretcher crawling back to cliff surviving a tank attack and even a sniper shot (hence the cast he’s wearing in the picture at the end) Doss had contracted tuberculosis in the previous battle and so was doing all of this while stifling his coughs..... ....and being malnourished. He was a vegetarian as shown, but the MREs at the time were heavy on the meat and did not provide a substitute for protein. He supplemented what he could from the fruit he found but it wasn't nearly enough He declared the situation was too dangerous for his retrieval and lay for hours with shredded legs and a shattered arm until it was dark, then dragged himself for about 300 yards to safety with just his elbowsHe had already gained the trust and acceptance with his unit about halfway through training, treating the blisters on the men's feet after a 20 mile hike in full gear (additionally a medics gear is about 24 lbs heavier than infantry gear) before treating his own. His nickname was "Preach" 1. ) Oh, and he was part of the 3 man team that set up the cargo nets. The last 35 feet was the only part of that 300+ foot tall cliff that needed a net. 2. ) He had already been awarded a Bronze Star (extraordinary actions on battlefield), and several other citations and awards for heroism 3. ) He stipulated that no film about his life was to be made until ten years after his death. (ergo 2006-2016)

I understand your logic, but it actually doesn't make sense because the pacific follows the fight the marines had where hacksaw follows the army. Yes same island, but very different battles.

[@americanswan]

Desmond Doss was already married before he went. He was about 27. He was a member of the infamous 77th Infantry Division. The 77th was made up of older soldiers. They were a type of guinea pig to see what older soldiers could do. The 77th became the best Division in the Pacific. They were held in reserve and used as problem solvers. Their kill ratio was nuts. By the end of the war, some of the Japanese in the Philippines refused to surrender to the 77th, they were that scared of them.

[@mikealvarez2322]

I finally got a chance to see the rest of your reaction to HACKSAW RIDGE. Aria you reflect the beauty of this movie. Your desire to learn more about Desmond tells me your feelings are 100% genuine. Mel Gibson took a great deal of liberty in making HACKSAW RIDGE, but I don't hold it against him. The story he told is basically true and a director needs some leeway to condense history and make it entertaining. Afterall the purpose of a movie is to entertain and make money. I watched HACKSAW RIDGE with my grandson and he as developed an interest in WW2....mission accomplished. The only objection I have to the movie is how Thomas Doss was portrayed. The is no evidence that he was ever abusive to his family. The fight over the revolver was between Thomas Doss and his brother-in-law, his wife's brother. She stepped in between them and took the gun away and gave it to Desmond so he could hide it. He was just a boy at the time but he did promise God he would never touch a gun. Thomas Doss was also very proud and supportive of his son's joining the military. He wrote numerous letters to complain about the unfair treatment Desmond was getting. Desmond was never physically attacked but what the Army put him through was worse. Before Hacksaw Ridge, Desmond participated in 2 previous campaigns, The Battle for Guam and The Battle for the Philippines. He received the Bronze Star in each battle so the men already knew they could depend on him. In both the previous battles Desmond demonstrated incredible courage. God only knows why he was not killed. There is so much to Desmond's story that any normal person hearing it would think that it is Hollywood make believe. I know you will check it out.

If you want to know just how legendary of a unit Desmond Doss belonged to, look up a video by The Fat Electrician: The 77th Infantry aka "The Old Bastards." Desmond was one of the youngest members of his unit. Nearly everyone else was a middle aged or old man because the US Army created their unit as an experiment. And they were one of the most notoriously effective units in the entire Pacific Theater of the war. Their oldest new recruit was in his 50s and he was a veteran of World War 1, just like Desmond's dad.

After he has demonstrated his honor and commitment by doing enough damage that he would die, a "second" would (when done correctly) almost decapitate him him to both minimize the suffering and to avoid the possibility that the officer would do something to dishonor himself after completing the ritual.

While "Hacksaw Ridge" is solid as far as war movies go, I would suggest you check out these top flight, epic titles (these are but a few): Stalag 17 (the legendary filmmaker Billy Wilder adds some comedic moments in order to lighten an otherwise grim subject about prisoners of war) The Bridge on the River Kwai (Sir Alec Guinness and Sessue Hayakawa are fantastic as a British prisoner of war of the Japanese and the Colonel who runs the camp during WW2 - they embody the madness and the fog of war as they wage their own personal battles of what it means to be honorable in the steaming jungle) Stanley Kubrick's Paths of Glory (this takes the unusual turn of a WW1 film set as a court room drama and told through flashback) Lawrence of Arabia (this is one of those films you would have loved to have seen on a giant, wall-to-wall screen as the cinematography is brilliant) The Great Escape (while a fictional story, they used multiple real life, documented WW2 escape attempts from German camps to base the story around) Patton (a larger-than-life biopic of one of WW2's finest generals and one of its most controversial. George C. Scott gives a powerhouse performance in a role he was born to play) Apocalypse Now (theatrical cut is the absolute best version - the horrors and lunacy of war as depicted through a sort-of retelling of Joseph Conrad's classic novel, "Heart of Darkness") The Deer Hunter (this Vietnam War film is a bit different... most of the film's run time sets up the characters before they ever set foot overseas - there is a good reason for this) Das Boot (director's cut - German film - you will never look at the inside of a submarine the same way again as German soldiers battle the Allies in a cramped and dangerous U-Boat and internally struggle with the fact many never understood what they were fighting for or why - this is a masterpiece) Platoon (it's fictional, but the narration is based on actual writings of Vietnam war veterans, including the writer and director, Oliver Stone [he served in the war] - the duality of man is explored here) Casualties of War (far and away Michael J. Fox's - aka Marty McFly - finest dramatic performance - the movie is truly devastating because it is based a real documented war crime and is one example of why people in the U.S. turned against the Vietnam War) Born on the Fourth of July (Tom Cruise in top form - I would say it's his best acting performance and he gives it his all - the true life story of a Vietnam War soldier turned peace activist) Three Kings (the first Gulf War depicted in a most unusual way, as a heist caper film and an anti-war satire - George Clooney is the main star) Downfall (German film - it has one of the most realistic depictions of Hitler towards the end of the war ever put to film... an award-winning portrayal by Bruno Ganz) Fury (tank battles are filmed in a very stark and tragic manner - Brad Pitt is the star) 1917 (this is mostly a visual heavy film rather than dialog heavy... the techniques used to make it seem like the WW1 based movie was filmed in one, long take are amazing) All Quiet on the Western Front (newest German remake - a visually stunning depiction of trench warfare during WW1 - the war machine churns ever onward in this Oscar winning film)
