Hacksaw Ridge

Reasonable.

This world needs soldiers with guns to defend peace, and soldiers without guns to defend lives. The former is consumed and the latter is replenished.

The significance of Daws's existence without a gun and no damage is not only how many people he saved as a medical soldier, but also that he made the US military feel loved, as if God was on the side of the US military. This is similar to ideological work.

Love is extremely scarce in cruel wars, and people feel too much pain, separation, hatred, and shame. Dawes appeared in the image of love, greatly soothing the pain of the US military, and boosting morale. The U.S. military will double down on seeing Dawes' martyrdom.

War will inevitably bring destruction, and at the same time destruction requires construction. The soldiers were injured not only physically but also mentally in the war. Dawes' behavior not only helped the soldiers restore their health, but also helped them build their hearts.

    I understand all the points it wants to express, but there is basically no way to accept it, not to mention the type of engagement, bloody war and religion. It can only be said to be a very, very straight man and a very, very main theme, so that the film presents The values ​​presented are so narrow. It expresses a great character and a great story with some self-righteous values. I think this is a kind of blasphemy for the heroes in these wars.

    Direct, authentic, not didactic, compact. When the male protagonist was persistent in "one more", I almost believed in God again. The box office will not be too good after all, the American war movie, but it will be a film with word of mouth. (And wiping tears many times is not because of incitement, but because of a sense of immersion that makes the tears flow unconsciously...)

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.
