It feels like a movie

Rating: 7/10 (18 March 2017)

Everyone is saying it is a great produced war movie. First of all, a considerable part of the story takes place at the protagonist life before he went to war and, honestly, I think this is the best part. We have great comic events on the army training. Then we see the war we were waiting and yes, the wounds are very realistic and you do have to have stomach to watch. But still it looked like a movie. If I had to tell one reason I would say the camera movements and takes. All we see is the common beautiful shots we are used to. Everything is so clean that at the end the protagonist's hair remains untouchable. The script does not surprises us as well. The dialogues are simple and it leaves the impression that the movie is too anxious to get to the war as fast as possible. At the end we see it taking the side of religion and exalting the hero. I do think Desmond Doss is a hero but I do not think we should say what he did was a good thing. What he did was madness and he was very lucky to came out alive. The performances are very impressive especially Andrew Garfield's. To conclude, if you enjoy a good war movie this is the right way to go. If you don't, it does not worth to see too much blood for a weak plot.
