Best war movie I have ever seen.

Rating: 10/10 (11 December 2016)

Oh my goodness Mel Gibson. I hated you for the racist and crude comments you have said but now I forgive you. This is the best war movie I have ever seen in my life. This rivals Saving Private Ryan and in my opinion, tops Saving Private Ryan mainly due to masterful acting and directing.
Lets first talk about the acting. Andrew Garfield, you deserve an Oscar. You truly do. Vince Vaughn, you made an excellent comeback. Hugo Weaving, you also proved to be a very great and caring character that I love. Teresa Palmer, another great movie under your belt. I really can not elaborate as I will be heading into spoiler territory.
Mel Gibson shot this movie very old school. All the shots seem like it is from the 1980s. That is not a bad thing as it really does set the tone of this movie. Everything to the color pallet to the dialogue really feels very natural and almost made me feel like I was eavesdropping into a legit conversation. This is because of great script-writing and acting by the amazing Andrew Garfield! Andrew Garfield really does make me feel like I was in the 1940s. He truly does set the tone for the time and I was extremely invested.
WOW I never knew about this story and I am damn happy I now know. This story really did make me feel like I am a pussy. Not to mention that this movie has extreme religious undertones that is NOT shoved in your face. I hate religion and if I can stand it in this movie and even make me appreciate religion, then that is saying a lot. The plot really does advance kind of fast. That is a good thing as it is a fast paced movie. This movie will never let you from its grasp and it will show you the horrors of war. Other reviewers say that this movie is to bloody and Michael Bay like. I call those reviewers wrong in every way. They show you how war is like. Michael Bay just puts explosions in there for no reason and could do without the explosions. However Hacksaw Ridge every explosion is needed. They put explosions into the background for authenticity and atmosphere building and it CAN NOT do without it.
Only cons of this movie is some slow-mo shots. They shot the scene in normal 24 fps and made it slow-mo after the movie was over. Making the 1 specific scene kind of weird and laggy. However this lasted maybe 1 second max and did not bother me one bit. I only recognized this on my 3rd viewing.
