Social Network next, just for u to see how good at acting Andrew Garfield actually is

Doss was an amazing man - they had to cut out some of his achievements to make the film more believable to modern audiences - in reality, after he was injured he was stuck for 5 hours treating his own wounds, when he was eventually stretchered out he saw a more injured man and insisted they take him instead; he then got shot in the arm, which broke it - he used a rifle stock as a splint and dragged himself to safety. His medal of honour citation is well worth the read.

In reality, the 75 men he was officially credited with saving was a compromise. The Americans who treated the guys Doss saved noted that he saved over a hundred men. Doss, for his part, said that he only saved fifty - which is typical of the humble man that he was. Also, Doss was suffering from tuberculosis during the events of Hacksaw Ridge (he wasn't diagnosed as such until after the war, in 1946), so he was effectively doing all that he was doing with only one working lung. And if anything, the events described in the movie are more toned down versions of what he actually did. Amazing man.

I am absolutely stunned by 2 people's relatively unknown heroics from WWII but whose stories are now legendary 75 years after the war. One was in Europe and the other in the Pacific. One was a Nazi and the other a Seventh Day Adventist pacifist, you couldn't find two more different people. Yet they are bound together in history because of an unyielding determination to make a difference. Oskar Schindler was the Nazi who saved Jews in Poland and yet felt guilty that he didn't do more. "I should have gotten one more." Desmond Doss refused to go back down Hacksaw Ridge and kept praying "please Lord, help me get just one more." Their stories are almost unbelievable yet somehow true. These are real heroes. The world needs to know their stories.

The craziest thing about this story and Desmond Doss, it they left out some of the things he actually did, because he did so much that they didn't think audiences would actually believe it. And that it would come across as too over the top and unrealistic.

The part where Desmond heard the call for medic and the explosion are everywhere, and he understands and he starts walking towards his call. I cried and that reminds me of Psalm 23:4 “Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.”

The fact they had to leave parts out to make this hero’s actions “more believable” is the most insane part of this movie.

Desmond Doss had an incredible amount of courage long before he saw true war combat. My absolute favorite scene in this movie comes at 26:38 ... when it was time for him to come down Doss would not let Smitty's body to be abandoned or forgotten up there. Absolute respect for his friend and fellow soldier.

Many many years later, I was a Navy FMF Corpsman stationed in Okinawa. All through training we were taught about those who went before us, those whose footsteps we would be following. He may have been Army, but Desmond's story was well known to me. I have stood on Hacksaw Ridge, the hairs on my arms stood on end that entire day.

Humanity has changed through the years. There's a lot of people who would think Doss should have just held the rifle for training or used one to defend himself, but that's because most people nowadays don't understand. They don't have true beliefs or convictions that they view as bigger than themselves anymore. Something that they hold true even if it means their own death and suffering, because their beliefs and ideals are apart of them, and abandoning those beliefs would mean abandoning themselves and who they are as people. It's just not possible. This film watered down what Doss actually did and left some things out because they thought audiences wouldn't believe the real/whole story. Sometimes, reality outshines fiction. I absolutely loved this film.

Thanks Mary. Incredible real life story. This movie only focused on Okinawa. He proved he WAS NOT a coward in Guam and the Philippines. By the time they got to Okinawa he was respected, admired and truly loved. True, he was awarded the Medal of Honor for 75 but he had already saved probably dozens!!! God bless our Veterans and God bless Doss. And God bless you Mary!!!!

The story about helping the japanese soldier in the tunnel was confirmed, when that soldier survived and later wrote about the american that had treated his wounds in the tunnel. The craziest thing about this movie is it's all true, but they actually diminished the story so movie-goers could believe it.

This incredible man saved generations of lives. Real life hero

When she said “that’s disgusting” at the very beginning of the movie I started clenching for the war part. Easily one of the bloodiest war films I’ve ever seen

I'm not religious, but this film is still beautiful. Desmond Doss is one of the bravest men to ever live, and the strength and willpower it must have taken to stay true to his convictions is awe inspiring. He fought not because he hated what was in front of him but because he loved what was behind him

You should read about the true story. Especially the last day. It was so incredibly they decided to cut it because they didn’t think people would believe it

Fun fact: the guy who plays 'Smitty'​ is an Aussie (born in Sydney!). He also features in the Australian film "Danger Close" set during the Vietnam war.

The thing about drill sergeants is they're not actually really jerks the whole thing is an act to break down the characters of the men they're training to a point where they can be built backup stronger. They make them humble, so they can become teachable, and put them through a small amount of pain to better prepare them for the trauma they will have to endure in the war. You can see the lieutenants real character when he drops the act to give Doss the choice to go home, it was one of the few times you could see genuine kindness in his facial expression and his actions.

Other really good war movies and shows are Band of Brothers, The Pacific, We Were Soldiers, Glory. Those are just a name a few, I’ve been enjoying your content for a little while now can’t wait to see what you do next. 👍

You say Andrew Garfield doesn't look super strong, but he's way bigger than the actual man Desmond Doss. Doss was 5'4" and just over 100 lbs. The quip about keeping him away from strong winds really wasn't that much of an exaggeration! Despite his small stature, he saved over 75 men in those 12 hours, carrying them across this hellish battlefield and lowering them down the cliff. The only words to describe Doss's actions are heroic and miraculous.

I wondered what of Andrew Garfield that made you say you weren't a fan, but I'm glad you could see what a great actor he is. I also didn't recognize Vince Vaughn until the movie was over because I couldn't believe that comic could deliver such a great performance.

He didn't just win A prize, he won THE prize. The highest medal for Valor given.

To add to what Desmond Doss accomplished: Before Hacksaw Ridge, the company fought to retake Gaum, he repeatedly ran back and forth to rescue men from the front line and carried them back to the battalion aid station. He was rewarded for bravery for that. In real life he weighed around 120-5lbs., and carried men that where close to 200lbs. to safety. At Hacksaw Ridge, a different Japanese sniper had him sighted in 4 times, but every time the rifle malfunctioned. The Japanese soldier was captured and said this. It took his company 3 days of searching for them to find his bible and get it to him before he went home. I wish we could classify him as above a hero, because of all that he did and what his character really was.

Now “Braveheart.” It’s not historically accurate at all, but it’s such a steamroller of a film that it swept the Oscars anyway. Amazing photography. Wonderful score. Superb acting by all involved. And the battle scenes are relentless.

A much earlier film about a conscientious objector from the First World War who also did amazing things, though the trajectory is quite different, is Sergeant York (1941) starring Gary Cooper in an Oscar winning performance. Both films are based on true stories and the parallels are amazing. I would not say that the earlier film is better but it is well worth a look.

When this movie came out I seen it with my son and he had a camo/military build-a-bear that he named Doss!

I saw how she reacted to the dude under the car and I thought oh this should be good. Sure enough I was dying of laughter. But in all seriousness I cannot imagine what those guys went through most of them were around my age and I can’t bloody imagine any of what they went through.

The metal of honor is not a prize…….you earn that for risking your own life in a very valiant and selfless way.

Kp is army jargon for kitchen patrol. Assigned as a punitive task since kp duty is usually done by the most junior of the enlisted pool. Soldiers used to joke around about kp meaning "keep peeling", since one of the most hated kp duties is potato peeling.

Definitely recommend watching both Gallipoli (an older 1981 film starring a young Mel Gibson) or Gallipoli the TV miniseries if you want to see great depictions of your ANZAC boys. I'm American, but more people should know the stories of these brave Australians and Kiwis

The best and most realistic war movie in my opinion is "Come and See" from 1985🍀

One of the most amazing ironies of the story was the scene where the unit was waiting for Doss to finish praying. The details of that were basically true to real life though the wait was actually about an hour and it held up the entire attack. It is not directly stated in the film, but you do get a sense that they were running out of unwounded medics at that point (which they were) and the Army could simply have ordered him to go up, Sabbath or no Sabbath. The request for a delay was from Doss so he could pray and read his Bible and that request was sent up to the Division commander for approval. The Division commander just happened to be the same officer who attempted to court-martial him in training and he approved the delay without hesitation. Doss's war-ending injury didn't happen until weeks later and it took them days to find his Bible. A very touching story about how much they respected and trusted him by this point. My grandfather was more of a "Smitty" type guy (he was fighting in the Philippines during this battle) and as an SDA myself this film is very personal.

I remember reading that they gave him ten minutes. And the unit wasn't willing to go up until after he finished his devotional reading.

Best war movie I’ve ever seen! Saw it in 2017. KP stands for “Kitchen Patrol”.

This movie was filmed entirely in Australia, and many of the cast members are Australian actors, as well.

Fun Fact: When they are off to training, they're on an old Sydney bus in its original colours - before changing to the blue and white we know today when newer models were introduced in the 1970s.

12:30 KP is Kitchen Police or Kitchen Patrol. It's extra duty after a soldier's normal day of work, helping the cooks maintain the kitchen and prep food for the entire base. Needless to say, it's a lot of extra menial labor when they're already tired, so it's usually meted out as punishment for minor offenses. Canceling their weekend leave and putting them all on KP because of Doss is a way of getting them to straighten him out as a unit.

Desmond Doss wouldn't touch a rifle because it went against his principles. He was also a Seventh Day Adventist which is probably the reason for his principles.

at that time the Seventh-day Adventist church was firm in its pacifistic approach. since then pacifism isn't pushed that much and SDA members do enlist and serve in the military. some do carry weapons or work with crew-served weapons. some serve as medics and do not train to use firearms. I attended an Adventist university and earned my journalism degree. the head of the communications department was a ''Nam veteran who served as a medic. another friend who died last year served in the pre-Vietnam War army as a medic and got out before things heated up overseas. SDAs are not discouraged from owning firearms, as it is seen to be a matter of conscience and should be decided by each individual. final sidenote is that in the last five years two of my pastors served in the USMC. the first one got out of the marines and served as a chaplain in the national guard.

Desmond Doss actually remarried 2 years after his wife's death

It's a really well done movie this one. My grandfather fought in Papua and North African campaigns.

Real heroes don't wear capes; in my eyes, they all are heroes, but Desmond is one of those few that go above and beyond, and that was with both sides fighting against him; what an amazing man! And another great movie by Mel Gibson.

The Dark Docs channel has a video up about Desmond Doss, detailing some things that were not covered in Hacksaw Ridge. It also explains some of the details of Doss's life where poetic license was taken by the filmmakers. The video is called The Soldier Who Refused to Fight.

The movie Fury is pretty good war movie as well.
