@BMT115 I was hoping to go see it for myself when I was in the Reserves. I was supposed to go to Okinawa for 3 weeks and one of the places we all wanted to see was Hacksaw Ridge itself. Unfortunately we got a call a week before telling us that we would be going to Texas instead. Then 1 week later we were approached by a Major and she said "Marines you need to get home right now, the entire country is about to be shut down. There are rumors that the Millitary could be deployed to enforce a Quarantine." That was March 15, 2020. I hope to go one day.

My old neighbour was a conscientious objector, but served in the British army during WW2. He wasn't religious, just didn't want to kill anyone. He served as a field medic, and was captured by the Japanese (I don't remember where, maybe Burma - I was only young when he told me the story). He survived for some time in a Japanese POW camp, and I'm pretty sure he was tortured. He actually only mentioned that part in passing as part of another story about hunting for a man eating tiger in India! He was a very mild, patient and friendly man, I always liked him.

[@DigitalRiesNL]

I've seen this movie quite a few times because it's so good and this scene never fails to make me cry. Once the soldiers all realize how incredibly brave he had been, they treated him like the hero he was. Captain Glover had already figured how wrong he had been about Desmond and now treated him with the respect he deserved. Excellent casting for everyone in this film with fine actors but Andrew Garfield definitely outshined everyone.

[@thevolatiledude6537]

@@EPICFAILKING1 Could we know why you think so?

[@EPICFAILKING1]

@@thevolatiledude6537 Posted below, but here it is - sorry for essay. First thing that is an issue is some of the details in the movie, like when he got married (1942) and not later like the film suggests, also his wife was not a nurse who he met in the service, they were indeed already married as stated and his wife wasn't a certified nurse until years after the war. Doss was never on trial for his court martial, in the film his father walks in and stops the verdict in the final moments. In reality his father wrote contacted somebody within high command and Desmond received a pardon, and received a three day pass to visit his brother before he returned to the Navy. The film fails to accurately depict the extent of Doss' injuries sustained in battle. In the movie they show a scene where Doss slaps and kicks away to grenades and subsequently he receives grenade shrapnel, though in reality Doss sustained a total of 17 shrapnel wounds from separate portions of the battle, and he was also shot in his left arm by a Japanese sniper which shattered his arm. All of this, paired with the Tuberculosis he caught in Okinawa, left Doss almost entirely disabled after the war. Apparently Mel Gibson left the real sequence of events out of the story as they didn't seem "believable" to an audience (yet apparently literally slapping a grenade was?), Gibson also overly dramatizes his shots with slow mo and ridiculous combat sequence like where that one guy fire's a BAR in one hand and holds a human carcass as a shield in the other. The uniforms, tactics and at times dialogue are not reminiscent of the time period, in fact their is a complete lack of any battlefield tactics except some modern techniques like sweeping and having the weapon in a high port stance (which is post WWII doctrine). The uniforms are basic at best and most of the men are either buff or too old to be authentic, and again the uniforms are rag-tag and thrown together, more importantly they're also missing their signature helmet markings. In terms of respecting and acknowledging the actual men who fought, the film glorifies the conflict whilst getting all the basic and major aspects that make these men who they are/ were wrong. The disrespect done to the 96th infantry division, who scaled the rope wall first (which was much smaller than depicted) is irresponsible and distasteful to their memory. In four days of brutal firefights and often hand to hand combat, two companies (about 200 men) were reduced to 40% combat effectiveness until they were relieved by Doss' unit, the 77th infantry division. The gross exaggeration on the combat is probably the main example of how Gibson had the wrong intentions when making this movie, the extremely close range shootouts the constant charges and the retreats that follow on the US side, when in reality Okinawa was still typical of late-war Pacific combat in which the Japanese remained hidden whilst the US used their overwhelming fire power to dispatch the enemy, then clearing any potential fighting positions they advanced upon with grenades, satchels and flamethrowers. As previously stated their was of course hand-to-hand fighting but not on the scale shown here, Gibson is known for his ridiculous fighting scenes that are reminiscent of the Medieval period. To history buffs and/ or historical re-enactors this movie is a wish wash that provides no amount of real authenticity besides his name and the fact he fought in WWII, and most importantly, to the families of these men - it's another reason to turn the TV off. All in all, a below average representation that misses the point of war completely. Hence why you see all the comments "this move is so sick" when what people should be saying is "these men were truly magnificent spectacles of self sacrifice to who we owe a great debt".

Humble, courageous man of God, Des Doss 😘🙏

[@sirwiggins4321]

best hip fire I seen yet

[@kharnthebetrayer1575]

One amazing young man surrounded by other amazing young men!!

[@nissanman1983]

I truly believe there is a special place in heaven for men like this.

[@migueldiz1231]

Uno de los más grandes ejemplos del valor humano y un gran ejemplo de empatía por el otro por que en definitiva si nos Ayudamos entre nosotros quien lo va hacer besos al cielo para este soldado un ejemplo de ser humano

VERDADE

[@Alistair2348]

That's a REAL super hero.

"I specifically requested medical duty," Doss said, "because I felt that while I could not kill, I could help save human life"”

[@garyslade7029]

what a truly amazing man

[@vidright]

Amazing, that submachine guns with 100 rounds in a 30 round clip.

[@mugiwaranoluffy0]

And in a lighter note Sgt. Howell would one day tell the story of shooting while being dragged to safety inspiring the creation of the rail shooter video game😜

[@jayjuliano4621]

Awesome movie. Doss was a God send. Thanks for hie service.

Not to make light of this situation, but this meme popped into my head and I have to share it. Soldiers: HE'S THE MESSIAH Desmond: I'm not the messiah.

And that is how the Grease Gun earned it's legendary reputation as the most accurate long range sniper gun ever designed. Especially when equipped with the ubiquitous 5000 round magazine.

[@fullcircle4723]

Watched so many shorts but not the movie. Just shows you don't have to carry a gun to prove yourself.

[@Rockhound6165]

The moment when you achieve boss level respect.

[@jonflanagin6682]

The best movie I've seen in years

[@hpblack1953]

PFC Doss was the first C.O. to be awarded the MOH but not the only C.O. to be awarded the same. CPL Thomas Bennett, medic, US Army was awarded the MOH in 1969 though posthumously. A writer for the Lynchburg, VA paper argues that fact, but it is a fact. Doss was first. He was a brave man. But he's not 'the one and only'. Nor is Doss the only medic in WW II to earn the MOH. In the EU Theater medic, PVT Harold Garman was awarded the MOH. None of this takes away from PFC Doss of course. Courage and guts come in many forms and at times when both are least expected.

What an absolute legend!

[@magnus1001]

Desmond Doss was Spiderman before Andrew Garfield was even born!

[@soapydesigner]

He wielded a more powerful weapon than a gun...he wielded a Bible.

[@pablomedina8575]

Andrew Garfield deserved an Oscar

The 1 and Only Most ICONIC WAR MOVIE EVER MADE "HACKSAW RIDGE"

[@uligismann1193]

When Doss pulled his sergeant on the blanket it was also the moment in history the american forces adopted the russian 'tatchanka' concept 😂
