Talk about history without commenting on movies

The movie is not bad, the history is staggering. Army version of "Angry Sea Diving General", GO ARMY, BEAT NAVY. ?

Since Iwo Jima, Japan has completely retreated. In island and reef battles and beach-grabbing battles, the U.S. military used bombers and battleships to continue carpet bombing by relying on firepower as a general rule before the war.

The Japanese were not stupid. They all hid in underground fortifications before the bombing. During the U.S. landing, they took advantage of the fact that the U.S. emperor was unprepared. Suddenly attacked from the sheltered bunker, then rushed out and killed the enemy, annihilated the enemy and retreated, and then retreated underground to wait for the first. Second round.

However, how could the Japanese who used their 38 rifles to eat rat meat end up distributing semi-automatic rifles, eating canned food, and strong boats and guns to supply worry-free Yankees? Just like the gap in equipment and rationing between China and Japan on the battlefield in China, the gap between Japan and the United States is also great, so the end is often that all the defenders are dispatched to death. The commander repayed his loyalty in the cave.

Hacksaw Ridge was part of the Battle of Okinawa. The Battle of Okinawa, known as the Iron Rain or the Storm of Steel, was evident in the fierce engagement and exchange of fire between the two sides. It was the largest landing battle on the Pacific battlefield in World War II. The Japanese lost more than 100,000 men. , The U.S. Emperor also suffered more than 80,000 battle losses. (In addition, a large number of civilians in Okinawa were coerced by the Japanese to "suicide". Okinawa was originally called Ryukyu, and it was a subject of China in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. After the Japanese conquered by force, it was renamed Okinawa and has been squeezed for a long time. Therefore, until now, the desire for independence is very strong.)

In this case, it is difficult to survive. Our old brother Doss is still unarmed, traveling alone in the scorched earth, saving 75 lives with his hands (the number of false reports in war is also an unspoken rule). This is simply a miracle of Moses leading the Hebrews across the Red Sea!

Doss' deeds explain one thing: the most difficult and precious thing is not killing but saving, not destroying but understanding.

    The true story is very worthy of respect, but this kind of religious fanaticism/the main theme of the anti-Japanese movie style is really unacceptable. There are too many slots. The protagonist Garfield's halo is so big that he can take grenades with his bare hands. The bibles picked up by his teammates can be directly passed into the party application form. The IQ combat capability of the Japanese army is not online at all, and the ropes on the cliff are not burned. Throwing dynamite bags down, ah... and the emotional drama unfolding in the mystery...

    A kind of transparency and openness of the hot-blooded war films of the 70s and 80s, through the soldiers who refused to touch the guns in the name of religion, established the stubborn character of the characters. Next, the harsh environment of Hacksaw Ridge took care of the details and mood of the war. Only then can we gradually understand the protagonist’s principles and save people, which not only reflects the duality of birth and death and peace, but also makes viewers feel immensely in awe of faith.

Hacksaw Ridge quotes

  • 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.

  • [Sgt. Howell arrives at the barracks the night after Doss had been beaten by his fellow men]

    Sgt Howell: As you were. Where's Doss?

    [Everyone turns to the back of the barracks where Doss - visibly beaten - has just finished his shower; Sgt, Howell is disturbed by the sight and breathes a sigh of melancholy]

    Sgt Howell: [sympathetic] This isn't good for anybody.

    Desmond Doss: Sure ain't what I signed up for.

    Sgt Howell: [beat] It's not about what you signed up for. It's about the lives of every man in here. And yours, son. It's time to quit this. Finish getting dressed and I'll walk you down.

    [beat]

    Sgt Howell: It's okay, Doss. There's no shame in this. Let's go.

    Desmond Doss: I got extra guard duty today, and I'm on KP this morning, so... Can't.

    Sgt Howell: [nods impressed with his character] All right, Doss.

    [shifts to professional tone]

    Sgt Howell: Private Doss, can you identify the men that beat you?

    Desmond Doss: No, Sarge.

    Sgt Howell: Are you saying that you don't know who attacked you?

    Desmond Doss: I never said I was attacked, Sarge.

    Sgt Howell: Well, what the hell are you saying, Doss? You bruised half your body sleeping?

    Desmond Doss: I... I sleep pretty hard.

    Sgt Howell: [Doss has finally won him over] All right.
