"An excellent war film that will not beautify the battlefield, will not whitewash death, will not dwarf the enemy, will not ignore common sense, and most importantly, will not promote war." This war film of
seems to be satisfied. .
Desmond Dawes
"The first soldier who refused to perform military service and won the highest honor without any record of killing the enemy"
may feel a little unbelievable, but this is a true story that happened during World War II. He was awarded the US Congress Medal for saving 75 people during the Battle of Okinawa in World War II. (The Medal of Honor is the highest and most difficult medal awarded by the United States under the Congress Act of 1862. Individuals who receive the Medal of Honor must possess bravery, tenacity, self-sacrifice, deeds of fearlessness, courage and The fearless spirit must clearly exceed his companions, the award of this medal must have a convincing proof of service performance, and the recommendation must be considered from the standard of outstanding merit.)
and this movie is also adapted from his deeds
"Blood War Hacksaw Ridge"
directed by Mel Gibson, Andrew Garfield, Sam Worthington, Luke Brace, Teresa Palmer and other starring American war films. The original film was released in the United States on November 4, 2016, , with a rating of R.
was released in China on December 8th of the same year, but when it was released in China, the relevant reviewing department changed the style of the past and only carried out a few omissions, so the bloody scenes in the film are almost completely preserved and presented. come out. At that time, after watching this film, I was deeply shocked, and I haven't recovered for several days. (In fact, it scared me so much. I watched the original film resources I found myself.....)
In the current situation where various "anti-Japanese dramas" dominate the screen, this should be an outstanding war movie. The movie is out.
Friends who are interested in the history of World War II and related movies should not miss it. (I can’t just be shocked by myself)
The film also won the 89th Oscar for Best Sound Effects in 2017. The 20th Hollywood Film Awards was selected for the 3rd Douban Films Annual List. There are countless nominations for various awards.......
It is worth mentioning that although the
film is about the American war, the film’s All filming was shot in Australia, and the staff and most of the actors were Australian.
In order to truly reproduce the tragic and mortal battlefield, Mel Gibson blew up a farm in Brungli, a suburb of southwestern Sydney, Australia, disguised as the top of the hacksaw ridge, and successfully sold tens of thousands of square meters of blood. Battlefield scene.
The director of the film insists on "pure real shooting" to complete the shooting. All the scenes are shot in real scene. The scene of "Burning Devil" uses special fire to directly "spray" real people, and the film team does not use 3D technology, design tools, In the case of 3D animation software, a 3D model of clay sculpture is used to scale the battlefield ravines.
This makes the film’s authenticity and reproduction reach a top level. The background of the
story took place in 1945, a place called Hacksaw Ridge during the Battle of Okinawa in the US-Japan Pacific battlefield. This is the end of World War II. At this time, the US military is eager to invade Japan as soon as possible. Japan's defeat is set, but it is still resisting desperately...
War is tight, and the youth of the United States are full of enthusiasm, and they rush to the front line. The protagonist of the play, Daus is also among them...
However, Dawes joined the army not to kill, but to save more people.
He is a Christian and believes that killing is a felony, so he refuses to use firearms or even touch. This is part of his faith.
Dawes' father is a veteran of World War I. He has lost many friends because of the war. The mental trauma caused by the war has kept him living in uneasiness. He often abused alcohol and abused his wife. For this reason, Dawes held a gun at his father. When he saw his father's desperate and helpless face, he was more determined that he would never use firearms again. After
entered the army, he refused to use firearms to participate in training, and was ridiculed by the surrounding soldiers as a coward.
was squeezed out and even beaten by them.
even his boss wants to persuade him. But he is determined not to give up.
Finally he was sent to a military court, facing the danger of being imprisoned.
His father appeared at this time. He put on the uniform of World War I, put on all the medals and found the boss who had fought before, and asked him to write a letter to rescue Daus. After some twists and turns, Daws joined the army as a medical soldier, and was allowed not to carry guns. The
troop went to Hacksaw Ridge to replace the two US marines that had just been hit hard.
and what awaits them ahead is a purgatory
hacksaw ridge named after its cliffs are like zigzags. Soldiers need to climb to the top through rope nets before launching an attack.
(Why didn’t the Japanese army cut off the ropes? This way the US army could not come up, emm, I had similar questions before. Contact the background, at the end of World War II, the Japanese army was at the end of the war, and the materials were extremely scarce, so it could only be built locally Various fortifications to resist the attack of the US military and eliminate some of the US military’s firepower advantage. The reason for not cutting the rope is to allow more American soldiers to climb up and consume them to the greatest extent. If the rope is cut, only firepower is waiting for them. Coverage and endless artillery strikes.)
Japanese soldiers on the battlefield like to kill unarmed medical soldiers, because the signs on them are so obvious. It seems that every medic killed will get extra Reward.
Looking at the remains of the wounded and sacrificed soldiers sent down from the front line, Dawes did not flinch, and still moved forward with the troops.
The southern part of Okinawa Island is mostly a barren land of sand and stone. Therefore, the Japanese army built many bunkers and tunnels, which can survive under the suppression of the superior forces of the US sea and air (fire coverage), and still maintain the terrible combat effectiveness. .
gunfire from the navy
covered with firepower, in silence, many soldiers who had just boarded the hacksaw ridge were shot and killed by the machine guns hidden in the dark for a while without even seeing the enemy. His body was punched through holes like pieces of paper and torn apart. The bright red blood soaked the soil and turned dark black. Charges, screams, and gunfire were mixed, like a purgatory on earth. (The picture is too bloody and harmonious)
In fact, the soldiers on the battlefield are the same as ordinary people. They are all flesh and blood, they also feel fear, and they also have their own concerns, but at that moment, they still rushed up without hesitation.
But as the Japanese army hidden in the bunker emerged from the nest, a piece of blackness, like ghosts and devils, these desperate groups rushed towards them like crazy, and soon the American army’s charge was suppressed by the brutal Japanese army, so The U.S. army fell into deep fear, and faced with the superior number of Japanese troops, they had to give up the offensive and began to retreat. (The horrible display of the Devil’s combat effectiveness here is mostly based on the memoirs and wartime records of US soldiers after the war. The degree of restoration is high.) Most of the
troops were withdrawn.
However, Dawes did not retreat.
He began to return to the battlefield, and constantly rescued the wounded soldiers who were left behind. Many of them were dying from the bombing.
He understood that if they were not taken away, only Japanese bayonets and bullets were waiting for them.
He shuttled between the battlefields, under the guns of Japanese soldiers, and continuously rescued the wounded, and put them down the cliff through ropes. (This also includes some Japanese soldiers)
(Daws did not get a shot as if he was on the hook. What is even more amazing is that according to the interview with the Japanese soldiers who survived the battle after the war, they were indeed I noticed Dawes running around on the battlefield, but for some reason, whenever he raised his gun to shoot him, either he couldn’t hit him, or the bullet stuck. There were some sharpshooters, he kept coming from the gun. To escape. It made them feel very puzzling.)
When everyone thought everyone was evacuating, there were continuous wounded being put down on the cliff. After incomplete statistics, Dawes rescued more than 70 wounded people, (due to incomplete statistics). Complete statistics, and the number of people in the middle is 75.) Among them are the soldiers who ostracized him in the past, as well as his superiors.
is such a soldier who was ridiculed and incomprehensible at first, a man they considered a "coward".
has saved their lives now. After his deeds were known to his company, the soldiers regarded him as the savior, which brought unlimited power to their army. Just because he has his own beliefs.
until the last battle, he was forced to send off the battlefield after he was injured by a grenade to save his comrades.
His salvation was forced to stop.
Until many years later, he recalled the rescue of the wounded on the battlefield. He said, "I just started praying to God to ask me to save another one." The
faith is really a very magical thing.
In the end, although the U.S. forces captured the hacksaw ridge, the heavy price paid for this victory made them gradually understand that it is not easy to win the Japanese mainland. It is conservatively estimated that if they forcefully enter the Japanese mainland, they will at least pay More than a million soldiers lives.
(So, in order to avoid greater casualties, the U.S. military began to consider the use of the atomic bomb, and the two mushroom clouds over Hiroshima and Nagasaki appeared behind .)
Seeing this, I can’t help but think of our ancestors. They do not have as strong military power as the US military, no artillery support, no logistical support, and even basic weapons and rifles are not equipped enough. How difficult is that kind of war? They used flesh and blood to forge our steel Great Wall in exchange for it. With today’s peaceful life, we must never forget the history and the martyrs. We should cherish the life in front of us, work hard, and contribute our own strength to the construction of the motherland!
also hopes that the screenwriters of the "anti-Japanese drama" can face up to history and respect history.
May the world be peaceful (nuclear).
