The story is based on the real-life experience of Desmond Dawes, a high-class military doctor in World War II, who was awarded the U.S. Congressional Medal of Honor for saving 75 lives in the Battle of Okinawa, and was the first medical soldier to refuse to kill on the battlefield.
It is said that in 1945, as World War II drew to a close, Japan, as an important member of the axis of evil, had become the end of its arrogance. In that year, the Battle of Okinawa, which determined the course of the war, began, and thousands of highly motivated American soldiers were sent to Okinawa, and what awaited them was the heavily defended and dangerous Hacksaw Ridge of the enemy army. In the midst of this group, there was a medic who did not want to take up arms. His name is Desmond Dawes (Andrew Garfield) and he's from Virginia, Usa. At the time of the Pacific outbreak, the emaciated Desmond volunteered to become a life-saving medic and enlisted in the army. However, due to his childhood and family reasons, he was always reluctant to take up a gun for training, preferring to be charged with military refusal and be court-martialed. After several twists and turns, Desmond and his comrades finally came to Hacksaw Ridge. Gunshots rained down, and in the blink of an eye, countless people fell to the ground in response. With the support of faith and conviction, Desmond saved dozens of dying lives on his own...
Evaluation said: In the past one or two years, it is rare to look at the war theme commercial films, the war scenes are very good, the conflict is gripping, in addition to the battle scenes, the story predictably sets up a faith dilemma for the protagonist, although it is not new, it can be convincing. The love drama is redundant, but it is better to replace it as a comrade-in-arms or even a stirring base. The story also deals with biblical and religious elements, which are slightly abrupt but indispensable. A good anti-Japanese film. Garfield is very dramatic
A film that is quite worth watching, but also a very grandfather's film, there is no complex brain-burning plot, some are just shocking
