A perfect movie!!

HACKSAW RIDGE is one the best movies I have ever seen. Till I watched this, I had known of only one person who has practiced non-violence, Gandhi, and who taught the world the wisdom of non- violence, of turning one's right cheek after being slapped on one's left. I grew up with people telling me that non-violence can't work in the present world but I believe it can. Non-violence is not for the cowards its for the bravest of men and this is what the life of Desmond Doss teaches us.
"You have heard that it was said, 'An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth.' But I say to you, do not resist an evil person; but whoever slaps you on your right cheek, turn the other to him also. If anyone wants to sue you and take your shirt, let him have your coat also..."
-The Bible Matthew 5:38-42
Everything about this passage is contrary to common sense. Yet, this is what makes following Jesus radical, distinctive, beautiful — and profoundly difficult!
