Only he knows what he wants

It’s been a long time since I downloaded it to my computer, but I haven’t watched it. I’ve been on secondment to the city bureau for two months, and now it’s my last month. I’m bored. I turn on my computer, and I randomly order a movie. Watch quietly.

The scene of the war is really vivid and huge, and it is very heart-wrenching to watch. Thinking about those American soldiers who risked their lives just to protect the things they cherished, I feel that human nature is still very great.

The male protagonist is really handsome, the type I like is sunny and warm, and suddenly I feel that faith is really important. When you have faith, even if you look weak, your heart must be strong, brave, and invincible!

When I saw the end of the film, I suddenly thought of what the male protagonist said in the military court. Suddenly, he felt that he was the one who knew why he wanted to join the army and what he really wanted to do. Even if he didn't have a gun, he still knew that he had to do something for the motherland. This is much better than those unthinking soldiers who follow the crowd, so the male protagonist is so brave because he is the one who really knows his purpose!

I only hope that in this complex society, we can all have our own inner beliefs, and we can all stick to our original aspirations, be soft on the outside, hard on the inside, and fearless.

The autumn wind is getting colder, I washed and fell asleep, I wish to think more.

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.
