First of all, about the title of this movie, I really want to complain about the bloody battle of Hacksaw Ridge. My first reaction when I saw the title was, is it a popular and specialized domestic anti-Japanese movie? It was this title that almost made me miss a good movie. Okay, let’s focus, this is an American anti-Japanese film, and belief is the soul of the film.
The film is based on the true story of an American medic in World War II who was awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor for saving 75 lives in the Battle of Okinawa.
The protagonist Dawes is a Christian and thinks killing is a felony. Therefore, he does not accept the instruction to practice with a gun. He is mocked, excluded, and beaten by the surrounding soldiers. Finally, he is brought to a military court by the military and will be imprisoned in prison. His alcoholic father, who often committed domestic violence, came out. He put on his World War I military uniform and all the medals, and asked his superior in World War I to write a letter to rescue him. Dawes. My tears went to this father, this man who lost friends because of the war, experienced nightmares, hated the war, lived in the dark for the rest of his life, was an alcoholic, often beat the Dawes brothers and his wife when he was drunk, yes The war made his life uneasy, which is why he opposed his two sons joining the army. When he handed the letter to the presiding judge of the court, he said that we went to the battlefield to uphold the constitution we believed in, in addition to this Other than that, I can't find any other reason for us to go to war.
What this film conveyed to me is not like the domestic anti-Japanese drama, how abhorrent the little Japan is, and how heroic our Eighth Route Army is, it shows me the suffering brought by the war to people.
I quickly thought in my mind that Muslim men who had misunderstood Arab countries could have four wives because their minds were still in feudal society, until later I learned that it was because of the terrible war that many women were widowed, and the men who lived to take care of women and Only children marry them.
Then I kept thinking that all wars originate from desires. Why did the initiators of wars not consider the lives of those who really fought on the battlefield when they launched wars?
Thinking of the Diaoyu Islands incident some time ago, many people clamored for a war against the Philippines. I didn't have a deep feeling at the time, but now I think about it with great fear. If those clamoring people really let them go to the battlefield in person, what would they do? And how brave is it when you clamor?
Regarding beliefs, I heard people say that the Chinese people are dangerous because most of the Chinese people have no beliefs, Christians, Muslims, Jews... Because of the common belief, I used to be very confused as a non-religious person , what kind of power makes these believers stick to their beliefs?
When Dawes rescued 75 wounded, including several enemy troops, with his once-ununderstood beliefs, American soldiers began to believe in him.
Now I ask myself again, what are my beliefs? I can't tell, but I can feel that there is a strong force in my heart that allows me to have my own judgment and principles in the face of major events. How about you?
The above are all my thoughts when watching this film. Everyone has different feelings and thoughts, which is understandable. However, as a war film, this film can make an indifferent person very excited. You can judge it by yourself. It's not worth seeing.
In the end, I present the protagonist's comrade-in-arms, Smitty. The reason for not letting go of the male protagonist is because Smitty is so handsome to me, okay? His appearance and spirit are both first-class and powerful. It was so sad when he finally sacrificed.
