The film mainly tells the beginning of the Battle of Okinawa, which decided the direction of the war at the end of World War II. Among the young American soldiers who were sent to Okinawa to occupy the extremely dangerous Hacksaw Ridge was a military doctor from Virginia, USA, named Desmond Doss.
Because of family and religious reasons, Doss has always been reluctant to use a gun, and for this reason, would rather be sent to a military court. Coming to Hacksaw Ridge, facing the hail of bullets, countless people fell to the ground in an instant. Backed by faith and belief, Doss alone has saved more than seventy precious lives.
the light of faith
It is unimaginable that the soldiers who went to the battlefield did not carry any guns, and even refused to eat military canned food to supplement their physical strength even when they could not rest for several days and nights. He believed that God said not to kill, he never ate meat, and never used a gun. It was such an unarmed person who, when the night fell, sneaked in the dark, crawled and rolled in the hail of bullets, checked every body lying on the ground, lifted the survivors on his thin shoulders, and took them one by one. Sent under the Hacksaw Ridge, from hell back to the world. This is Doctor Doss, a non-mainstream war hero, the real "angel in the world". He saved 75 people and shone with the light of faith.
Sometimes, those beliefs that are too persistent and extreme seem different and terrifying. Sometimes faith gives strength to the weak and powerless, and bold and novel ideas to the ordinary. Whether the light of faith is the dazzling starlight of the morning star that illuminates the meaning of life, or the blazing fire of the Molotov cocktail that destroys social stability, depends on the person behind the faith.
Belief never really exists, it is good or bad, and it stems from the cultivation that is rooted in people's hearts.
The Dos military doctor firmly followed the faith. After coming to the new group, he did not follow the crowd and still insisted on the faith. Facing his beliefs, he did not hesitate at all, treating God sincerely and treating himself responsibly. Whenever and wherever, always have a clear conscience. He knew what he wanted and what he didn't want, so he knew what to do and what not to do.
"One more, God, let me save one more person."
He knew that life was precious, and he repeated this sentence repeatedly, with only this idea and this belief in his heart. The light of faith, the light of ten thousand feet. At that moment, all the jaw-dropping comrades in Hacksaw Ridge were moved and inspired by his actions, and seemed to have found their own beliefs and understood the purpose and meaning of coming to Hacksaw Ridge.
As long as there is such persistence in life, it will not be too bad.
Since "The Shawshank Redemption," another powerful film has taught people the power of faith and hope, and after "Saving Private Ryan," yet another truly brutal film has reminded people of the cruelty of war and killing.
The smoke of war has dissipated. In ordinary life, we do not need faith to support us to live, but we may need faith to support us to live more wonderfully. Therefore, you should find something for yourself, you can not believe in God, you can not believe in any god, but you can't be without goals and beliefs, and you can't let yourself get lost on the long road of life.
