Rate This Movie:
Hacksaw Ridge is a 2016 war film directed by Mel Gibson, and it stars Andrew Garfield in the lead role.
Hacksaw Ridge tells the true story of Desmond Doss, a conscientious objector during World War II who served as a combat medic without carrying a weapon. Andrew Garfield gives a remarkable performance as Doss, bringing depth and sincerity to the character.
The film is divided into two distinct halves: the first explores Doss's upbringing, his convictions, and the challenges he faces as he enlists in the army without compromising his beliefs. The second half thrusts the audience into the brutal Battle of Okinawa, where Doss's bravery and unwavering commitment to saving lives shine through, even in the midst of intense combat. Mel Gibson's direction is visceral and unflinching, capturing the horrors of war while highlighting the heroism of an individual who stands by his principles. The battle sequences are intense, gritty, and realistic, providing a stark contrast to the earlier, more serene moments in the film.
Hacksaw Ridge received critical acclaim for its performances, direction, and portrayal of a unique war hero. The film garnered several award nominations and won two Oscars, including Best Film Editing and Best Sound Mixing. It is a powerful and emotional war drama that pays tribute to the extraordinary courage of Desmond Doss.
