Wonderful directing

Rating: 8/10 (6 February 2017)

Okay, okay. Before anybody gets angry at me for saying the directing is good, i meant that the directing by Mel Gibson was wonderful, splendid and all round beautiful. It does not mean in anyway that i agree with what he said in the past nor do i like him as a person. IF you guys are actual movie goers and actual movie enthusiasts like i am, you cannot argue about how gorgeously this film was directed. This film was directed in a way to show us exactly how gruesome and horrid war can be. It shows us how violent and terrible and outcome of a war is and i like it. Too many times movies have shown us war heroes that go through war like as though it were some sort of video game. War is not a video game nor is it adventurous nor is it fun. This film shows war as it is and doesn't glorify war either. Another thing that this movie does is that it doesn't try and justify itself and it doesn't try and explain much about why people do what they do. Which in my opinion is good, because people in general are like that. People in general do not need a reason to hate, they do not need a reason to love nor do they need a reason to do anything. This movie is surreal and realistic (for the most part) in their representation of war. And i like that. For the acting, it's not extremely great but it is fairly good. As this is based of a true story, the story isn't exactly original, but hey, it's based of a true event. Another notable thing about this movie is its pacing. There was not a time where i felt like they should skip a scene nor should they push the story a head nor did i feel like a scene was unnecessary. In fact, i was very invested in the film and wanted to watch it through. As a whole, this film is very nice and entertaining and it is by far, way better than the film "Unbreakable" by Angelina Jolie which i found slightly overrated and dry. (both films are depictions of war heroes and even though Louis Zamperini arguably did way more than Desmond Doss, Hacksaw Ridge made Desmond Doss look like more of a hero as it looked like Desmond had to go through a tougher time even though he did not compared to Louis Zamperini)
