Mel comes stronger then ever

Rating: 10/10 (29 November 2016)

Desmond Doss decides to apply for military service and being medic but his believes are going to lead him in many, many strange ways. Movie is divided in two part first is a love story and second is war story with some features of kindness and caring. As we learn more and more about Desmond we are learning about his father and every scene that Tom Doss was in was stolen by him as he portrays a veteran that has seen unimaginable things which left mark on him. His perception and understanding was incredible but at the same time emotional and powerful. Then we lean more into Desmond and Dorothy and their love and caring for each other. As everyone in camp starts to realize what their life is with Desmond and his believes they are all unable to stop themselves form hurting him but his love and believes are so great that he forgives all. Just as everything couldn't get worse Tom Doss finally show how he cares and loves his son but also by his decision Desmond saved 75 men. Then war scenes came into first plan and they were absolutely staggering showing us what true horror and pain looks like. First sequence was about 15 minutes long and it was one of the most brutal war scenes every shown, with so many details and absolutely incredible directing throughout them. Next came the commitment combined with pain and struggle in his amazing saving of every wounded men despite threat that was always upon Desmond's neck and how he continued with pure will to push himself to limit. After that he was everybody's hero that they all need to keep pushing and just to give their best. Garfield played Desmond and he played it like it was his last, so much power and emotions made role of his career in this picture. Weaving as Tom Doss is one of the biggest surprises, giving an extraordinary performance as he is believable and shows us every little thing about his struggle. Mel's directing was as always on top and gave us once of the best pictures in 2016 with some incredibly violent and terrifying scenes, meaning many great things should come up by him in future. 4/4
