I saw Hacksaw Ridge a few days ago, and all I have to say is wow. This film was just incredible, and it is so good that I predict and hope that it gets Oscar nominations. Yes, it is that good. It is about a young man during WWII who joins to be a medic, but doesn't want to touch a gun. He wants to save lives, and not take them. No one likes this, but he is allowed to do just that eventually.
No matter what you might think of Mel Gibson he really knows how to direct a beautiful, gritty war film. I was never bored, and once you get to the war the scenes are brutal, but shot with care. This is a movie that everyone who can handle the war violence needs to see as soon as they can. Another thing I found really cool is that this story is true; the man this is about actually lived, and did what they show.
Honestly, he does all of this because of his faith, but they wrote the story in a way that they aren't pushing faith down your throats. You can believe in nothing and see this film, and just believe in humanity again. I can't praise this film enough, and everyone needs to see Hacksaw Ridge.
