Triumph of Spirit

Rating: 10/10 (21 December 2016)

Battle depictions are always going to be gut crunching & emotionally disturbing whilst there is always that calm soothing subject to keep the platoon sewed, well this time it's in form of a godly medic in the Battle of Okinawa in 1945 WWII. The incredible true story of Corporal Desmond Doss is genuinely heart wrecking and has been captured aesthetically on the big screen right from his uncustomary childhood to his admission into the B-Company breezing through a rather-fascinatingly presented love life. Mr Director strikes the right chord while sailing past the humanistic approach to "hell of a battle" churning out the triumphant as Spirit of an individual. Aptly titled as HACKSAW RIDGE, it's been supremely uplifted by it's cast & crew probably making it the Best Movie of 2016, even from the technical front. The movie climaxes with the clips of the real life soldiers expressing their grief and pain which might force out a drop of gratitude rolling down your cheek. Don't miss this masterpiece. 10/10
