Story of Hero

Rating: 8/10 (7 August 2017)

When WWII, Desmond T. Doss decided to be an army medic but because of his belief, he doesn't use gun even on the battlefield. As a medic, he fights for his mate without any weapon.
This film is based on the record of Desmond T. Doss who is the first conscientious objector who received Medal of Honor. He rescued a lot of US soldiers from battlefield of Hacksaw Ridge. I don't know how terrible real war is and how famous he is in the U.S. but I understand why he is a hero obviously. On this film, the battle scenes ware shot very ruthlessly but because of that, his kindness could be seen remarkably. Before I watched this, I think of heroes in the war as the people who kill enemy soldier or destroy enemy facilities most, but he is a completely opposite hero.
This is the good film absolutely, but I think Doss's life scenes before going to Okinawa are long. Scenes of setup lead audiences to understand his personality but important scenes of this film are the scenes of Ridge, so long setup may make audiences bored.
Some reviews say this film is not real, but I think this is a film so it doesn't have to be real accurately and the scenes of Ridge is enough to tell how ruthless war is. This film is literally worth watching.
