Hacksaw Ridge [DVD]

Somehow i missed this movie. Its an awsome portrayl of several confrontations and storylines. Great war movie. Must watch.

I still stick to this review. I have watched it again and again and still feel the same as the first time I watched it and reviewed it.I loved this movie and I hate Army based movies. My Husband LOVES Army Based movies. So we decided to watch this one . I felt this movie would be a good one to watch because Mel Gibson did create Passion of the Christ and I loved that Movie and yes I am a Christian and have no problem telling that. Denying that would make me feel like I don't have faith in my Lord. But my husband just loves war movies.That said to the person that said the thing about this movie....This movie doesn't have to have perfect reenactments as long as the #1 main part of the movie is about the person and what he was about. Which it showed,a man that believed in his purpose of standing up for his belief and the truth of the Lord. #The main people that was around the main character which was Desmond Doss was correct. It showed how those that should be there to support him weren't but then saw their faults afterwards. Then also it shows his strengths in combat even without a weapon. His weapons were ,The Lord,his own mind,his strength in being able to handle pushing on for a greater purpose than his own. The lives he saved when NO one else stayed to save them and gave up but he didn't. It showed his courage in even giving his own life by putting himself in danger ,over and over and over again. He never gave up and the Lord was there with him through it all.He asked the Lord for only one thing..."Just give me one more" Meaning one more life to save,one more ounce of strength to bring them to safety, One more day for another soldier to live. It showed me that" I can do all things through him who gives me strength"Philippians 4:13Yes I pulled that card out. The Lord watches over you and me. He doesn't love one person more than another.Even Peter said, "I really am learning that God doesn't show partiality to one group of people over another" This movie portrays how the Lord works through us and also shows how we are to be so loyal to him in return to receive that asst or another word would be Love. Meaning show love and I will show you love. In scripture the Father God shows us by this verse and this one alone is the all meaning of life.... John 3:16 For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that everyone who believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.This movie shows the Lord and is what the Lord wants us to see even if through a man like Mel Gibson. The Lord works in mysterious ways. Show passion and courage even under so many trials and he will reward you in heaven and on earth. Trust in him and believe so you can receive and be Blessed with the rewards that pour out for us from heaven. Yes movies are gory and violent. But even in the Bible it shows us life shouldn't be covered up just because you can't handle seeing a little blood. Life isn't easy and can bring the best of men or women to their knees. When Mel makes movies he doesn't hold back. He lets you see how it felt ,how it looked,he gave you a glimpse into that very moment and let you feel even by visual what it was truly like what it truly felt. You know you cringe and almost could feel that very blade moving through the layers of flesh or the bullet ripping the flesh. The hit of a man's pride even with a man being naked before many. It shows all that yes. So if you didn't like it? Then why did you watch it? You knew it would have added things that might not been in the man's real life. The real man was old and gray and now dead. So yes he would have to add something here and there. But honestly... in reality that added effect or moment is usually how it is in real life too. Be honest and think on that next time when deciding to do a review.I am not into gore and hate scary movies and I give this "reality check" movie and true thumbs up. Great movie ,has gore,has a believer of Christ in it,has will to survive ,Has strength,Loyalty,true heroism for his country and his fellow man,action,on the edge of your seat moments,understanding of what war really is without sugar coating it,LOVE. In it also respect of another human being. He even tried to save those that were trying to kill him. How can this movie be less than 5 stars? You couldn't do any better (towards the person that gave 1 star and a bad review). Suck it up buttercup. Even the best knots aren't tied up perfect like they should be to save your life. Sometimes it is the worst made knots. (watch the movie to understand that meaning. If I could give this movie more stars I would have given it 100%+ .That's all.. Now go buy the movie or rent it or whatever. Great movie you are missing out on if you don't.

One of the best movies I have ever seen.excellent story

This is at least the second time I've seen this movie and tears are streaming down my face, my heart is enraptured, this is by far one of the greatest movies ever made and it was made by a man of faith, certainly a man with flaws like all of us, but it was his faith that enabled to make this extraordinary, almost miraculous movie. This movie was made by the same man who made "The Passion of the Christ" movie. Mel Gibson is one of the most talented, gifted, brilliant actors and producers of any generation. I am still appalled that he was ever blacklisted by the disgusting Hollywood moguls. It was Mel Gibson who saved Robert Downey's life and career. He will go down in history of one of the greatest actors and directors and producers who ever lived while the Hollywood moguls who turned their backs on him will become entirely forgettable as they so deserve.

It's a really good movie

Good Movie!

Well written, well acted, and beautifully directed. I especially enjoyed the interview with the real; Desmond Doss about Hacksaw Ridge at the end of the film

Best movie out there!!!
