Hacksaw Ridge Review

 

So for Remembrance Day, I thought I would review one of my favorite war films Hacksaw Ridge. Here's my review of Hacksaw Ridge, directed by Mel Gibson. 

Andrew Garfield played Desmond Doss, and he did a fantastic job.
He got an Oscar nomination for his performance. 

I love this film. It's a great war movie and tells the story of a soldier named Desmond Doss who never carried a gun because he refused to wield a weapon in WW2. The film focuses on him saving as many soldiers and even some Japanese soldiers from Hacksaw during WW2. One of my favorite scenes in the movie was when he helped a Japanese soldier. It's such a great scene and shows that true courage is not about when to take a life but when to spare one. The action scenes in the film are incredible, the sound effects are great, and the cast all did a great job playing their characters. It's funny seeing Vince Vaughn playing a serious character for once, but he did a good job.  The other actors, like Teresa Palmer, did a great job too, and Hugo Weaving was great as Tom Doss, Desmond's father who suffers from post-traumatic stress from WW1. One scene I love is when Tom helps his son, who is being court marshaled for not following orders to carry a gun. It shows that even though he hates the idea of both of his sons fighting in the war because he doesn't want them to go through what he's going through, in the end, he sees what his sons are doing for their country. 

This film was amazing and full of intense and emotional moments in this film. I really love this film and I give a 9 out of 10. Give it a watch and Desmond Doss he was a great hero because he didn't use a gun in war. He used his wits and saved lives instead of killing them.
