The loyal believer meets the crazy director
"Hacksaw Ridge". In this movie, the most incredible "impossible" is the protagonist Desmond Dawes, the US military medical soldier during World War II because of his religious beliefs. , Refused to touch any weapons. Sign up to join the army but don't want to shoot and kill people. This level of precision is comparable to that of Luffy, who can't swim, is determined to be the One Piece. However, One Piece is only an animation, and the story of Private Dawes is a historical fact. At the beginning, the boss made a mockery of this serious face and forced him to retire and go home. Unexpectedly, even though Daos treated the life bodhisattva with his heart, he was too stubborn to serve the country, and it was useless to persuade him. Moreover, Dawes clearly allocated all the skill points in killing to other areas, whether it is professional level or physical fitness. The boss finally felt that it would seem to be a sloppy hero to make Dawes a purely auxiliary hero. So he was sent to the front line of Okinawa where the fighting was fierce.


His comrades on the battlefield discovered that although Dawes did not bring a gun on the battlefield, he seemed to have brought a variety of powerful plug-ins. In the battlefield of hell difficulty, Daus saved the lives of 75 wounded comrades in the rain of bullets with his mortal performances. Healing, dodge and concealment skills are all six, and the anti-Japanese drama has a sense of sight. The judge was so scared that I immediately checked the information and found out that Daos was even more open in the real history. According to his chief, he at least saved a hundred people, but Dao Shenqian said that only 50 people were saved. It's so honest. I have only heard of water injection for military exploits, but I have never seen pumping water. The last two sides took an average, 75 people. Staying away from guns and cherishing life, the Taoist God attributes all his accomplishments to God. Not only does he not leave the Bible, he must pray before the war, and he does not forget to pray to God "save one more" when performing rescue missions.


It can be said that the story of Taoism combines cruel war history and religious beliefs that are almost paranoid. This is exactly what the director Mel Gibson has. From "Brave Heart", "The Passion of the Christ" to "Apocalypse", in every movie directed by Gibson, the protagonist is a martyr who embraces an extremely firm belief and challenges everything impossible, and hits the south wall without looking back. But in 2006, Gibson was almost sentenced to death by Hollywood because of a drunk accident. After being stopped by the police for drunk driving, he actually uttered a series of anti-Semitic racial remarks against the police, as if Hitler was attached to it. body. The Jewish community has always played a pivotal role in the American film industry. Gibson was so unabashed in his bold crimes that he also touched the bottom line of "racism" in American society. Naturally, there was no good fruit, and he became a director and actor overnight. The first-line big names have become the cross-street rats that everyone shouts and beats. Although many friends in the industry have come forward to intercede for Gibson in the past ten years, even Iron Man Robert Downey Jr. borrowed himself from the story of the shadow of drugs and begged everyone to give another chance. Gibson himself had to posture himself. The director doesn't need to think about it, and the heroic protagonist has no role. In the past few years, his limited screen appearances are almost all villains.


Ten years later, Gibson, the former sexy idol, now has a big beard, and he is quite suitable to play Marx. And he finally waited for a chance to be a new man, not right, to be a director again. Can he bottom out and stage a counter-kill this time?




"The Alliance of the Disappointed" strikes.
Because of Gibson’s embarrassing position in the American film circle, most of the actors in this movie about American soldiers are from abroad, and each of them is wandering in the trough of his acting career: growing up in British lead actor Andrew Garfield is really a fleeting disadvantage recently. Originally as a new generation of "The Amazing Spider-Man", he also played with the heroine Emma Stone in and out of play, which is precisely the rhythm of embarking on the peak of life. Suddenly Sony Marvel announced that Spider-Man was replaced and restarted, and Garfield was laid off in seconds. On the other side, with the turmoil of Sister Shitou's career, the two gathered together and separated more, and finally broke up sadly. Career feelings are all frustrated, and Garfield, the rising star in the film industry, seems to be out of fashion before he shines.


And the situation of his comrades is not much better. Sam Worthington, who plays the company commander, is the starring role of the historical box office champion "Avatar". Unfortunately, Avatar became popular in 3D and IMAX, but he was not a popular star. In the past few years, the box office of Worthington's movies has not been added to Avatar's fraction. Compared with Xiao Li, Schwarzenegger, etc. who also starred in the Kashen blockbuster and embarked on the road of superstars, Worthington is now almost like a passerby.


As the only American actor in the movie, Vince Vaughan was once a big comedy man, but this two-meter-tall comedian has an acting dream in his heart, but he has appeared in dramas and even tragedies several times, and the effect is not good. , But also destroyed the reputation of the previous comedy King, he is nearly fifty years old, but now he is lingering at the crossroads of the actor's road.


These frustrated actors, together with a director who has been in trouble for ten years, have formed this "Union of Disappointed People" who are also fallen into the world. It can be said that every member of the crew is holding back to prove themselves, just like the film protagonist Dawes challenging the traditional definition of war and soldiers, they also seem to work hard to challenge all the frustrations and disapproval over the years. Shun, just to let the world see the best self, and to prove to the audience with Daos that a strong belief is the strongest weapon a person can have!




The judge decides the case
The cost of "Blood Battle of Hacksaw Ridge" is only 40 million U.S. dollars, which is the same as "Billy Lynn's Midfield War" released not long ago, but this film does not engage in 3D, 120-frame high-tech gimmicks, but uses the most traditional The method restores the truth of the war. The last hour of the film is almost all war scenes. Although only a small-scale battle is focused on, the scene is only a few positions, but the cruelty of the battlefield is vividly reflected, and sometimes it is almost let people. I feel like watching a horror movie. Life and death, joy and sorrow often change suddenly, which shows the fragility of life, and also highlights the great significance of the protagonist Daos in saving lives and healing injuries. Director Gibson once said that Dawes is the real superhero.) Indeed, on today’s big screen, all kinds of superheroes are inextricably fought, and the air is every second, but this so-called hero strips off all kinds of fancy How much superpower is worth learning? In today’s age of entertainment supremacy and lack of faith, Dawes’ insistence on faith is more in line with the definition of a hero than fast-food superheroes flying all over the sky. For this film, the judge gave five tokens, This is also the best film so far this year in the eyes of the judge. It is recommended that all audiences go to the cinema to experience the double baptism of vision and soul. By the way, behind this film, there is a large amount of capital from China. It is they who gave Gibson on the Hollywood blacklist a chance to make a comeback. Sure enough, when it comes to making people reform and re-behave, I am not aimed at Who is there?

    This true story is actually quite a routine, especially after Desmond rescued people, people said they were wrong about you. Routine plus embarrassment, this is really not as brave as the heart. PS: Garfield laughs like Garfield! Lose some fat quickly.

    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.

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.
