The director Mel Gibson, who has always been known for his realism and brutal masculinity, has brought us the adrenaline explosion of "Hacksaw Ridge" with adrenaline. Let the movie leave a lot of green background CGI technology. Take a solid picture of every explosion, and the spout after every blood vessel is cut off. The actual explosion and shooting, the most realistic show of the purgatory on earth of World War II. Using traditional old-fashioned shooting techniques and slowly spreading the plot, many people recalled the golden age of movie war films. The taste of the long-lost classic spirits! It's back again! "Blood Battle of Hacksaw Ridge" is adapted from real historical events. The story is very simple. It is about a devout Christian who refused to take weapons to the battlefield by a soldier named Des Montedos, who only saved people. So how much is the difference between the real Des Montedos and the Des Montedos under the lens of Mel Gibson. After collecting online and watching documentaries about Doss, I have listed some important parts for everyone.
1. Regarding "conscientious objector" (conscientious objector) To put it simply, "conscientious objector" is a "soldier" who goes to the battlefield without arms but saves people. Doss should be regarded as the first "conscientious objector" in the true sense. In fact, as early as the First World War, a man named Alvin York had already done it and refused to take a weapon, but then gave up midway. So Doss became the first person. Later, during the Vietnam War, two soldiers followed suit, namely Thomas Bennett and Joseph G Lapointe Jr. It is a pity that they died during the Vietnam War.
2. About Dos’s childhood shadow Doss’ childhood did have a shadow. His father was drunk. At that time, the United States was in the Great Depression, and the whole family was filled with horror. Finally one day Doss' father and Doss' little uncle (the younger brother of Doss mother) both had a drink. So Doss’ father almost killed Doss’ uncle with a gun, and Dos’s mother stepped forward to stop it (not that Dos stepped forward to stop), and then Dos’s mother called the police, Doss Only then did he return home and saw what happened in the later stage. His father was handcuffed away by the police. So Doss decided not to touch the weapon ever since. The movie dramatized this scene. Doss' father took a gun and wanted to fuck his mother... Doss stepped forward to stop it.
3. About Doss and his wife Doss are devout Christians, this is because of her mother's infection. When Doss was young, he went to church and met Dorothy, who was also young. So they came together because of the same belief and the same dream. In the movie, this scene was made into a traditional love acquaintance: a soldier fell in love with a nurse, and the nurse fell in love with a bloody soldier. But it was true that Dorothy became a nurse later, but that was because Doss was injured on the battlefield and was unable to work after he retired. Dorothy wanted to support his family and went to take the job title of nurse. And the wedding of Doss and Dorothy was held long before Doss went to serve in the military. In other words, Doss went to the military service after he got married, handled the wedding, and received the red envelopes. In the movie, Doss is unable to attend the wedding because he does not want to carry weapons, just to increase the drama conflict. In reality, he did have a two-week family leave before going to the battlefield, but he seemed to be rejected. In the end, only 3 days were given.
4. Regarding Hacksaw Ridge, you can watch a "Letter from Iwo Jima" directed by Eastwood. Inside, it shows in more detail the Pansi Caves that the Japanese dug on these cliffy islands. The Japanese did the same in Hacksaw Ridge. So when the Americans first came to the island, they had a headache for these cliffs. So Doss and two other soldiers used the cargo net to make a simple rock climbing prop. And this prop was already there when Doss arrived on the battlefield in the movie, and it was quite complete, but in reality, the props for this rock climbing are very crude.
5. Regarding comrades-in-arms, there is little difference between reality and the movie. At the beginning, the comrades-in-arms rejected Dos's practice of not holding weapons. I think he pretends, pretending to be God, who are you? ! So everyone laughed at him, pushed him out, and hit him with shoes and items. As for the fact that he was beaten all over to find teeth in the movie, it was also for theatrical needs. Being beaten like this in a military camp is subject to severe military regulations.
6. Pray for not working on Saturday. Doss is a devout Christian, so he really does not work on Saturday and prays devoutly. This was the case when I was in the barracks at first. Later, there was no other way to go to the battlefield, but to "go to work" on Saturday. But before going to work, he must also pray. That's why soldiers waited for his prayer before going to the battlefield in the movie.
7. His father came to the rescue in the movie about the court trial. Of course not in reality. It's just that Doss' father did contact the church's war committee in the field, which also played a positive role. Finally, after refusing the two-week family leave, Doss was given a three-day family leave again.
8. About the rescue of Japanese soldiers? There is a section in the movie where Doss rescues a Japanese soldier in a cave. This section is a description of Ridos's comrades in the documentary. Of course, because this comrade-in-arms is politically correct, he used his words very carefully and said very vaguely. One time it was said that the Japanese soldier threatened Doss, and the other time it was said that he had only seen a certain Japanese soldier with an American-style dressing. And Doss is because of love. Etc., etc. But as to whether there is such a thing, it is still a little secret.
9. It's true about Doss kicking the grenade, but it's not the Japanese soldiers surrendering and throwing the grenade. But one night, they passed a lair of the Japanese soldiers and were shocked by the grenade that was suddenly thrown over, saying that it was too late, and Doss kicked it away. Finally, the grenade exploded in the air, wounding Doss's leg. After that, Doss sat on the spot and waited for 5 hours on the stretcher before coming over, but within two steps, Doss found that his comrades were injured more seriously than him, so he decided to give the stretcher to his comrades and walked down by himself. At this time, he was beaten by a Japanese sniper. Middle arm. Wounded again.
10. The real shots behind Doss' later film are a sublimation of the film. After watching the movie, everyone stood up and applauded. The core of the real anti-war is the values recognized by the world. In reality, Doss was awarded the Medal of Honor, received an interview from the President, and so on. But Doss' life was not easy after that. He was seriously injured and was deemed 90% disabled. Received nearly 5 and a half years of treatment. After 1976, he was completely deaf. In 1988, he received a cochlear implant surgery to restore his hearing.
Because of the war, Doss lost the ability to work, and his wife became a family member of the labor force. He went to get the title of nurse and worked full-time to increase family income. Doss exchanged the insurance provided by the government and bought a small house on four acres of land. He and his wife gave birth to a son. They usually plant some fruits and vegetables on the lawn of the small house, but in the end, in order to make a living, the lawn was used for farming. After health permit, Doss began to try to do some part-time jobs, such as maintenance worker, cabinetmaker and so on.
In 1991, Doss’s wife Dorothy contracted breast cancer and died in a car accident, which was on the way Doss drove Dorothy to the hospital.
In 1993, Doss remarried and won a second wife named Francis.
In 2006, Doss died.
