It is harder to save than to destroy

I have seen some movie viewing experiences in the circle of friends before going to the cinema, and I know that this is a movie about miracles created by faith, and it is very bloody. The feeling at the time should be a story with personal heroism, and the hero's bravery and wisdom plus the protagonist's halo to defeat the enemy on the battlefield. The bloody scenes are only to enhance the stimulation of the senses. These are all routines. But when I saw the second half, I was still thinking, apart from the protagonist's halo, why don't you play cards according to the routine? The protagonist is stubborn and a little neurotic. Seeing so many comrades in arms being killed, shouldn't I be doing something with my heart? After the struggle of time, I realized that only by killing the enemy can I protect my motherland and the people I care about. Did I finally pick up the gun and kill the enemy? However, after seeing that the protagonist retreated after his comrades in arms, he was alone on the battlefield where the Japanese swept away to find the survivors who were still breathing. Several times the Japanese soldiers were close at hand, and they were able to save the danger in the end, and the bullets of the Japanese soldiers always He flew past him, and saved so many people from Hacksaw Ridge. In the end, he was able to fly a grenade with his hand. I think Americans have a big brain, until the final screen appeared. This is based on Adapted from a true story, I was deeply shocked to see the real Desmond Doss appear on the screen. There really are such heroes in this world, and faith can really create miracles. One more, save one more person, the reverence for life, and the dedication to faith have kept him going. When he came down from Hacksaw Ridge, a comrade in arms patted him, which made him panic and frightened. The fragility of this moment was very touching and very distressing.
After watching this movie, I remembered an anime I watched before. The protagonist wanted to be a messenger of justice in the early stage. His method was to save most people by killing a small number of people. I don't want to discuss whether this method is correct or not. Everyone is I don't have the right to decide the life and death of others. This method may be faster and more efficient, but it makes me feel very cold. Even if peace is achieved through this method, and most people are safe, it is difficult to save people. It is difficult to comfort the soul that has survived the suffering. In the end, the protagonist finds that this method is actually just endless killing.
I have never seen such a bloody war scene before, I have not experienced so deeply that the battlefield is hell, and I have never thought that faith can really create miracles. There is no deep routine in this movie. Touching people's hearts, coming out of the cinema, I feel how beautiful a peaceful night is and how warm a pure heart is.
