A story of "faith" and "love"

In my opinion, this is a war film about "faith" and "love". Since I don’t understand military affairs, I will only talk about faith and love. [In addition, once again, it involves serious spoilers, do not like it. 】

1 Let me talk about faith first. When some angry youths criticize the people, they just like to catch a little bit and say that the Chinese have no faith, and they have everything they do. Actually about the Chinese people's beliefs... we still have communism, right? This film also talks about faith. But there are many differences from the past. At the beginning of the film, when the male protagonist brother went up the mountain to play around at the villagers, the villagers said that these two bear kids were just like their fathers. How did their dad mess around? The male god Martin said that I would respect my buddies a jug of wine, and then smashed the wine bottle and shed a pool of blood on the tombstone. Even if you drink too much, when the brothers started to fight each other, the father said to the mother who was going to persuade him to fight, wait a moment, so I only need to fight the one who won. Bear? Children are more bearish. My brother said I want to fight with you! He picked up a brick and patted it on his brother's head. So a fierce and heroic technique directly knocked his brother into a faint. This is silly. Looking at the unresponsive brother who was dead on the bed, Desmond bear, as a not-so-religious Christian, looked deeply at the Ten Commandments of the Bible on the wall, firmly remembered the commandment of not killing, and successfully converted. The Great Christ (Maybe it’s God? Have you ever studied it and let me know). Father's best brother died in World War I. So he didn't want his children to join the army very much. But my brother still put on a military uniform. Then the old man said that I would never see you again. This... But desmond also felt that, as a believer of the Lord, when all my peers were on the battlefield, I couldn't enjoy this safety alone in the rear. My belief determines that I cannot kill people, and I have to defend such a belief. But I can't live by myself while my brothers are fighting bloody battles. This is not a real man. I also want to make my own contribution to the country. You can even die for this war. So... he can be a medical soldier! The kind that only saves people without a gun. So the proposal was successful, he bid farewell to his girlfriend, and he enlisted in the army. Enlisting in the army is quite relaxed and happy in the United States. Friendly comrades-in-arms, an exhibitionist nicknamed "Hollywood"... The American soldier has a joke and loving atmosphere. The chief takes the lead in taking the nickname, but also has a bit of laughter. When I was training, the problem came. Desmond wants to be a medical soldier, the kind who doesn't need a gun. A soldier goes on the battlefield without a gun. Are you planning to take your body directly to the opponent as a target? Or are you ready to drag a bunch of comrades back and let people distract you on the battlefield where life and death is a matter of stray bullets? When the enemy wants to take the life of your comrades-in-arms, how can you protect the people you want to protect? I don't want a difficult soldier like you. It is estimated that the political commissar is about to make peace in the anti-Japanese film. Comrade Desmont, if you believe in this kind of thing, you have to look at it dialectically. Of course, we must unite and love our compatriots, but we must be as cruel to the enemy as the autumn wind sweeps the fallen leaves! The party entrusted you with such an arduous and great undertaking to fight ghosts, how can you not think about it so much? Guan Xiaohei was confined for a few days. Comrade Desmont thought about his life and went crazy for a few days. Finally, I felt that the political commissar made a lot of sense. I want to make a great and sacred mission for the revival of the motherland and the rise of China. , Such a more daunting faith took my gun! Then, under the work of the political commissar, Comrade Desmont became a glorious proletarian warrior, defending his family and the country, and vowed to the death. But this is an American movie after all. Emphasize the individual, emphasize freedom and democracy, and emphasize faith. Oh of course, even if we say that you are free as an individual, you still cannot go to the battlefield. Lao Tzu's soldiers have to bring guns! Give you a chance, you can go home now, I say you are mentally ill, and then your wife and children are hot on the bed, how nice. Desmond said-I don't listen, I don't listen, I just do what I want to do! I will be a medical soldier! I don't have a gun yet! As a person of faith, I want to be myself, I want fairness and justice! I signed it when I was enlisted, so I don’t need a gun, I just don’t have a gun! The people around don't understand, grab the Bible, joking, humiliating...all bear it down. Okay, let you be a medical soldier. But the boss will scold you and let your roommates suffer from your involvement, and then your roommates will definitely retaliate against you. After being beaten, the head was covered with blood, and the pillow was red. It's okay, my mouth is hard, and I fell asleep by myself. But the boss is still not satisfied. Complete the assessment and get married on vacation? You are not allowed to leave without a gun. wtf????? I let you take a gun! I won't take it! Well, you are great, and you don't accept direct orders from the boss. The military court filed a lawsuit-either using a gun to be a god of war, or admitting that he was wrong and accepting punishment and going to jail. It's not a good fruit anyway. And I have to shut you down for a few more days. Desmond, as a man of faith, behaved very firmly. It doesn't matter if people around me don't understand, it doesn't matter if I don't let me go back to get married, my wife knows me. I am someone who wants to do great things. It's never wrong to be yourself. I want to fight against you who are cold. There is no error in belief and must be protected. Father love is like a mountain, he won. Um, little climax, everyone is still very happy. Getting to the real battlefield is another matter. Broken body, full of blood in the picture. The car was full of corpses or wounded. We can clearly distinguish which are experiences Which ones are out of the battlefield are not there yet. It's not to see if the clothes and cheeks are dirty, but to look at the eyes. The eyes of those who came down from the hacksaw ridge were dead. Is it scary? very horrifying. Cold sweat, tremor, teeth trembling all the time. I have never seen such a sight. The human blood fog exploded by Billy Lynn's five-point pistol in the midfield battle is more relaxed and pleasant than this. A series of long shots-it was the battlefield, it was smoke, it was the corpses piled up in hills, it was the death that was still happening. Seeing that I wanted to hold something, it was a pity that my schoolbag was too heavy on the soles of my feet. (Cough and cough, jump in the play. The hacksaw ridge stands in front of you, and there is a piece of hell on earth. It is said that after going up six times, they were beaten down, and there were only thirty-two people left in one company. Medical There are only two soldiers left. Counting the new desmond, there are only three medics on the battlefield. When asked about the situation above... the surviving veterans vomited out. Then, they Just go up. What is the situation like fighting on it? The teammate next to me just told me don’t worry and I will cover you—then his own head was pierced by a bullet coming from the opposite side. (I’m going to pierce through. Bold) Accidentally a cannon exploded under your feet, and waited for you to slow down and find that your legs were gone. It felt like death, call for a medical soldier! Threw a grenade from the other side? Just kicked it back, and then it exploded. Kick I was about to explode if I didn’t go back. I pulled up a corpse to cover it and suffered internal injuries.... The power of gunpowder is infinite, and death comes quickly and enthusiastically. It gives me the feeling... No place is safe. Bullets fly around. It’s exploded here and there again. It’s useless to charge. Anyway, there are people getting injured and someone rushing to the street from the beginning of the picture. It’s not as good as home. Anti-war) Desmond, as a player without a gun, travels to such a place, injects morphine and hemostatic bandages on the wounded soldiers, sends them to a safe place, and gives a cute smile to the healing system. If this is the case, there is actually nothing great. Because the fight was too bad, the troops were to be withdrawn. Then the boss gave an order and everyone retreated. But...the wounded could not withdraw by themselves! Desmond looked desperately. As my comrades went down, they looked desperately at the gunpowder in the distance, and then looked desperately at their beliefs. Lord, what can I do?? What else can I do? Please give me a voice! The vision of the vision, The protagonist’s sorrowful silhouette, the unclear gunpowder smoke scattered all over, it is very flavorful. Well, the voice appeared. Someone in the distance is shouting, medical soldier. So desmon d Incarnate as a little angel on the battlefield and become super god. Rescuing the wounded, transporting an individual down, the rope hand grinds to the skin and bleeding, but he is constantly looking for people who need to be rescued, one, another, another, another... 75 people. A total of 75 people. A boy with a shy smile who was ridiculed "dare not even touch a gun", a "coward" who was misjudged by everyone, a man who was beaten by his closest comrades, was strayed, bloody, and not On the battlefield where being careful can be killed, 75 lives were saved. In the end, humanitarianism is not even limited to redeeming the soldiers of the country, but also injecting morphine for foreign opponents to reduce the pain-although the little angels will not be controlled by the Japanese people. In the end, when Desmond rescued the last officer and was almost shot dead by the Japanese army, the people who had insulted and ridiculed him were all helping him. The director gave him another vision lying on a stretcher, as if what he had fallen into was not the land, but the heaven of the Lord. A friend who was watching said that Desmond had believed not in Christ, but in himself. I thought about it and it made sense. However, a person who still insists on his faith in a military court does not matter whether he believes in God or his own power. The important thing is his belief. The great thing is also his persistence in faith. It is this belief that allows him to be so brave, firm, and true. Make him so great, so shining. And without desmond's prayer, no one was willing to go to the battlefield. 2 Let's talk about love. When watching "Billy Lynn's Midfield War", to be honest, I completely ignored the line of love. After all, a kiss, a goodbye, and a misunderstanding seem to be too far from true love, which makes people unable to lift their energy. But "Blood War Hacksaw Ridge" is different-this Nima is true love. However, if you think about it, love and faith may be the same divine things. So "Billy Lynn's Midfield War" is about the fragility of human nature and eternal loneliness, while "Blood Battle in Hacksaw Ridge" restores a true story, telling us the firmness and magnanimity of faith and love. When the heroine did not go to the wedding in Desmond, of course she was a bit disappointed, but when the priest asked her if she had waited long enough, she gave an affirmative answer, but said that if she changed to any other man I think it's a fugitive marriage, but Desmond must not be. She has an unswerving trust in her lover, just as Desmond has a firm faith in her faith. So they can walk together. I thought many times while watching the movie that Desmond would pick up a gun for his comrades and his wife, but he didn't. Because his belief is pure and firm, without any impurities. His love for the heroine is the same. Whether it is insisting on the amulet-like bible before fainting, or rehearsing and rehearsing the sincere routine confession finally back-to-back after falling in love at first sight, or uncontrollably embracing kisses... Love is written in the eyes and in the heart. The comrade-in-arms joked, "Hey, such a girl, I can live a good life like my master. I have lost my life with you." Desmond smiled, "I know. Alas, don't tell her." In the Bible, her azure eyes appeared in front of her eyes, and the lake was quiet and spring-like. On the battlefield full of gunpowder, someone who dreams of being stabbed through the body by a bayonet is always on the battlefield where he is dying, and his lover gives him strength. After a long time, I will be very moved. 3 As for the plots briefly described in the first part of the anti-war, any scene is enough to make me hate war. But I dare to say that I did not escape from start to finish, but watched the whole movie with "eyes staring like copper bells"-after all, there is a military fan next to me who can tell me that I am not alone in facing the horror of this kind of war. . The father who experienced World War I understood the cruelty of war. "Hey, when it comes to war, look at our son, who is dressed like a star." He knew that he wouldn't be anymore when he was on the battlefield. The military uniform on the battlefield is no longer brave and mighty, but blood-stained. Hands no longer represent strong and powerful, giving people a sense of security, but full of lives. Numb to blood, numb to death, numb to everything around him. "Don’t remember who, I’m the best buddy, he was really good-looking at the time. I told you nymphs to look at him and his soul would be hooked away. Alas, it’s a pity that he didn’t take care of him when he died. That military uniform, the bullet went in from behind, the blood was stained, and it broke such a big hole, but it was a pity for the clothes." If he didn't use such jokes to cover up his inner despair, how would he heal the wounds after the war? No, I am afraid there will be no cure for decades. If you kill other important people, important people are also killed. Desmond saved 75 people, but the number of deaths and injuries on both sides is in Wan Ji. How many families were destroyed and how many people are still disabled. How many girls have no lovers, and how many mothers have no sons. Well, there are actually many similar themes. But at least for now, no one has brought me more shock than this film. It puts the war as real as possible before me frankly. Like desmond who is honest about his beliefs, we should also face history honestly. Perhaps only by uncovering the scars and looking carefully can we understand the value of peace. Desmond is honest about his beliefs, and we should also face history honestly. Perhaps only by uncovering the scars and looking carefully can we understand the value of peace. Desmond is honest about his beliefs, and we should also face history honestly. Perhaps only by uncovering the scars and looking carefully can we understand the value of peace.

Hacksaw Ridge quotes

  • Sgt Howell: This is a personal gift from the United States government to each and every one of you. A standard issue U.S. rifle, caliber .30, M1, a clip-fed, shoulder-fired, semi-automatic weapon designed to bring death and destruction to the enemy. This is to be your lover, your mistress, your concubine. Perhaps the only thing in life you will ever truly love. Fellas, let's dance.

    [the privates begin grabbing weapons]

    Sgt Howell: Grab a girl. Don't point your gun forward. I do not want to be shot today. No matter how much you are tempted. Place the weapon by your side. Pay attention.

    [Doss is the only one who has not picked up a rifle]

    Sgt Howell: Problem, Private Corn Stalk? Is there not one in your size or is it the color that is the issue?

    Desmond Doss: No, Sarge. I was... I was told I don't have to carry a weapon.

    Sgt Howell: Come again? Step forward, Private. I can't be hearing this right.

    Desmond Doss: Well, I'm sorry, Sergeant. I can't touch a gun.

    Captain Glover: What exactly is the problem?

    Desmond Doss: No problem, just a mistake, sir. I told the Army when I joined up.

    Captain Glover: That's not possible. Do you know why that's not possible, Private?

    Desmond Doss: No, sir.

    Captain Glover: Because the United States Army does not make mistakes. So if there's a problem, you must be that problem.

    Desmond Doss: I was just never supposed to be sent to a rifle company.

    Sgt Howell: He's a C.O., sir.

    Captain Glover: You're a conscientious objector, and you joined the Army?

    Desmond Doss: Well, no, sir, I'm a conscientious cooperator.

    Captain Glover: [bemused] Are you screwing with me, Doss?

    Desmond Doss: No. No, sir. I volunteered. I ain't got no problem with wearing my uniform, or saluting the flag and doing my duty. It's just carrying a gun and the taking of human life.

    Captain Glover: You don't kill? That's all?

    Desmond Doss: That's all. Yes, sir, that's all.

    Captain Glover: You know quite a bit of killing does occur in a war?

    Desmond Doss: Yes, sir.

    Captain Glover: I mean, that is the essential nature of war.

    Desmond Doss: Yes, sir.

    Captain Glover: All right. Do you have any other requirements of the United States Army? Is there anything else we can do to ensure that you have a comfortable stay here with us?

    Sgt Howell: He doesn't want to work on Saturdays, sir.

    Desmond Doss: Well, Saturdays... I'm a Seventh-Day Adventist. So, Saturday is my Sabbath, so I'm not allowed to work then.

    Captain Glover: I don't think that poses a problem, do you, Sergeant? We shall simply ask the enemy not to invade on the Sabbath, 'cause Private Doss here is at prayer. All right. Now we got that clear. Now let me tell you my requirements. They're not as complicated as yours. They're very simple. As long as you're in this company, under my command, you will obey my orders. Period. If you can't do it here, I can't trust you to do it in battle. I'm putting you in for a Section 8, psychiatric discharge. Dismissed.

  • Sgt Howell: Gentlemen! I want you to meet Private Desmond Doss. Apparently, Private Doss does not believe in violence. He does not practice violence. He will not even deign to touch a weapon. You see, Private Doss is a conscientious objector. So I plead with you, do not look to him to save you on the battlefield, because he will undoubtedly be too busy wrestling with his conscience to assist.

    Desmond Doss: Sarge, that's not true...

    Sgt Howell: PRIVATE, AS YOU WERE! Now I realize that some of you might have strong feelings about this. It is what we men fight for. To defend our rights, and to protect our women and children. Even if Private Doss' beliefs might cause women and children to die. So I will expect everyone in this company to give Private Doss the full measure of respect he is due for the short time that he will be with us.
