Another Mel Gibon Masterpiece

Rating: 10/10 (12 November 2016)

As A woman , , the gruesome scenes of war , shook me to the core ! But , this is the hell , that so many have faced , for our freedom and our flag !! I found this production to be a must see , for all my friends ! Mel Gibson never softens the themes, of his films and yet somehow he manages to convey beauty in the pain , wherever he can ! Some of the scenes were absolutely ethereal, and brought me to tears ,so many times throughout the film! He also demonstrates , the strength of a true American hero ( Doss ) who stood strong on his convictions , even though everyone around him , saw him as a coward !, I for one ,am thrilled to see the true story of a great HERO and role model . In this day and age of celebrity and sports figures as our youths examples , we need more movies like this one to show them that " character" is the real trait that should be admired !, I doubt that this will happen , but I would give "Hacksaw Ridge " the Oscar ! Best film I've seen in a long long time !! Ps. Plus , a sweet love story , but no nasty sex scenes and very little profanity ... A rarity in Hollywood today !!
