Films are historically based and artistically crafted without destroying the facts themselves. The director is just telling you what Doss is about. This is not a documentary, let alone a joke.
After watching the whole movie, the most impressive thing is that Doss insists on his beliefs, I believe what I believe, no matter when or in any situation.
When Doss was a child, he fought with his brother and smashed his head on the head. For the first time, he felt the fragility of life. He was pious and remembered not to kill. When he was young, Doss saw his alcoholic father and pointed his gun at him. His mother, Doss, who rushed forward and grabbed the gun, almost shot his father. Don't kill, it was imprinted in his mind again. It was the experience on the way of growing up that made him firmer, not to kill is his lifelong belief.
When he entered the military camp, his belief was despised by his superiors and his companions, beaten by his companions, and sent to military trial by his superiors. With the help of his father, he was spared punishment and went to the battlefield with his comrades.
On the battlefield, his comrades fought bloody battles, and Doss desperately searched for the wounded. His persistence moved the Smitty, who called him a coward, to accompany him with a gun to save the wounded. After the Japanese counterattacked, Doss' comrades evacuated Hacksaw Ridge one after another. Looking around, there were corpses everywhere. Doss hesitated. He asked God what to do. The next part of the movie is Doss' personal show time. On the battlefield, he has to avoid the search of the Japanese army and find the wounded, and bring them to the cliff one by one, and use Doss' special knotting skills to lower the wounded off the cliff. In this way, Doss went back and forth between the hail of bullets again and again, saving one wounded after another from Hacksaw Ridge. Even when his hands were torn by hemp ropes, he still said to himself, one more to God (save one more), as long as you persist, you can save another!
Doss, who persisted in his faith, was also lucky. Fortunately for him, he had a mother who was tolerant of him. After he broke his brother's head, he was spared the pain of flesh and blood. He was lucky to have a wife who loved him and chose to support him in any decision he made. Fortunately, he also met a group of comrades who "do not understand his beliefs, but know how firm his beliefs are". Only then did the last battle, when all the soldiers waited for his prayers to complete before going to the battlefield.
PS: Finally, the movie tells us that world peace is very important.
