Synopsis
HACKSAW RIDGE is the extraordinary true story of Desmond Doss (Andrew Garfield) who, in Okinawa during the bloodiest battle of WWII, saved 75 men without firing or carrying a gun. He was the only American soldier in WWII to fight on the front lines without a weapon, as he believed that while the war was justified, killing was nevertheless wrong. As an army medic, he single-handedly evacuated the wounded from behind enemy lines, braved fire while tending to soldiers, and was wounded by a grenade and hit by snipers. Doss was the first conscientious objector awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor.

A very moving film! I didn't know it was based on a true story and thought it was a little exaggerated until towards the end they showed the interview of the true hero and his comrades! Truly deserving the Golden Globe nominations! We were also glad that we watched this in Gold Class.
I was looking at how the late man, who was a man of God, put his trust in the Lord to enable him to save 75 soldiers single-handedly without weapon during WWII!
It was a deserving medal of honor for him, and he proved that by firmly believing in God, miracle could happen!
