This is a review made by StoneDraim... and that means that if you want to read a probably different kind of review, keep reading....
This is my personal experience, my personal point of view/perspective and my personal opinion... and my opinion is just one of like 7 billions in this world.
My first impression of this movie is this: this movie can be tremendous and fantastic, or it can fall down as a flat, big stone. The first tones of music builds up and gives it an almost fake impression of a inflated and pompous movie. the second thing is that the actors seems off... smiling, just all that easy going and calm. As if they were under the influence of something. At times I think for myself; what, 8,3 on IMDb with that bad acting? Thinking of the man under the car being hurt in the leg. And speaking of that, the blood and effects of the squirting blood seems bad made.
The second impression of this movie is this: Mel Gibson has as the director done an marvellous job in creating an atmosphere of easy going, calm, straight forward, pleasant and honesty. Well done! I am embracing it at the fullest! I love the way the casting team has worked on making roles for the army. Vince Vaughn as an sergeant? Well, Mel Gibson makes it trustworthy, in some way or another.
48 minutes into the motion picture: Sergeant: What the hell are you saying, Doss? You bruise half your body sleeping? Desmond Doss: I...I sleep pretty hard...
We're not in Kansas anymore, Dorothy. So...did they meet Rosanna...or did they just wait to hold the line, Toto?
One mans belief (based on what may) can fuel an entire world... and this movie is a true story.
I clapped my hands at the end. I cried a couple of times. What a triumph! In his Braveheart, the hero dies. In Hacksaw Ridge, the hero lives. He did triumph about 20 years later... will he do the same at the Academy Awards, Mr. Mel Gibson?
Over to the movie as a product: - The production : Amazing scenery. Amazing sound. Amazing visuals. This is type A of professional movie making. - The actors : Andrew Garfield, amongst others. Mel Gibson took them higher than Hacksaw Ridge. - Entertainment : When the movie where finished, I realized that over two hours passed. It felt like 20 minutes. That is entertainment. - Age : 18, due to war and extreme gore due to injuries
8,3 out of 10. (The final rate is based most on my own entertainment of the movie. Short elucidation of the rating: 9 Brilliant and admirable 8 Excellent movie and a solid production)
