More proof that Hacksaw Ridge is not only a great war film but a great film overall. I love how romantic, innocent and naive Desmond is. This is exactly how they shouldve played Andrew Garfield as Peter Parker. Hes not only likable as Desmond Doss, hes downright adorable. And thats coming from a straight man
Peter Parker is written as a highly intelligent and introverted. The guy being played here is more sweet, naive, charming and loveable, but he doesn’t come across as the classic high IQ type. So I think Garfield played Peter Parker and Spider-Man quite well
@@86sineadw Yeah he always got more hate than he deserved and despite how the movies turned out I enjoyed watching him as Spiderman and was happy when he got his redemption in the recent live action Spiderman movie.
@@lizardlegend42 Only kissing though. Still nothing sexual. Sure, it was non-consensual but at least he apologized straight after she said no. He was just naive about love.
Ugh, but the "spending time and talk to her" is a covert sexual advance but not a perverted one. Its a nice one. The man knows its a sexual advance, the woman knows it too. When a man is asking a woman out, he wants to have sex with her. She knows this and he knows this, its a mutually accepted comfortable silence. No woman accepted a date with a guy she wants to be friends with.
imo, the kiss was an honest mis-reading of the situation on Desmond's part: TLDR: He did something she didn't like, but didn't make excuses and was very attentive to how Dorothy responded--proving he wasn't thinking about just himself. It's not always about how you slip/fall, but about how you recover (bla bla bla, platitudes) Long answer for how the kiss (while not received well) does not make him a creep: 1) When someone feels entitled to something, if they don't get it (or if they have it taken away), they get angry/bitter/offended--he didn't show signs of any of that--again, imo. His entire demeanor seemed genuinely surprised and embarrassed. 2) He let her take some space and didn't approach her until she asked if he was coming (although it probably wouldn't have hurt to get out of the road sooner) 3) He didn't try to twist the events to help his ego. No defensive nonsense like "Oh stop complaining; you know you liked it," or "What, I'm not good enough for you?" or "Wasn't even that great of a kiss anyway." He didn't tell her how to feel, or accuse her, or insult her. His responses were humble. There's a huge difference between "You didn't mind" VS "I'm sorry, I didn't think you would mind" and "You liked it" VS "I thought you'd like it." One carries a worrying amount of assumption, the other is an offering of one perspective in a story that is understood to have two sides. 4) It seems to be understood that (for the rest of the film) he doesn't cross her boundaries like this again. She is uncomfortable/frightened with him going off to war, but I hardly view that as comparable There will always be entitled people who put their wants and feelings above others--but what makes someone a "creep" seems to be how they feel entitled specifically to romance with someone and everything attached to that: attention, exclusivity, intimacy. Social clumsiness doesn't make you a creep--but creeps love to claim "Social clumsiness" to excuse their behavior.
@@oliviasaunders2192 Because I want women to actually care about their men, love their men, worry about their men in a way that men want, I hate them??? WTF?
Praise God I have a man just like this! Been dating 7 weeks and today has been the best day by far! Ladies, respect your men, and they will do wonders for you! Make sure you choose a respectable, honest, responsible, and kind man that will treat you right! Don’t settle for a bad boy. They never work out and will always be narcissistic and players. Very rarely do they change.
"Yes, I am "dating" Dorthy" (With what? Carbon 14? "No we are"seeing" each other" "can i SEE her also"? No, I mean we are an "Item"...""Item on a list"?
The thing that I think made him attractive in Dorothy’s eyes is that he was completely nice and respectful, he wasn’t trying to just pick Dorothy up and get in her pants like so many men probably would, he was being genuinely friendly and she agreed to go out with him because she knew there was nothing creepy or perverted about this guy at that point
Back in my day, you didn't even Kiss a girl on the the first date! No doubt Desmond's wife Dorothy got his motor revving but she Won his heart first. And vis versa... Ya'll don't know how beautiful marriage is unless you WAIT until after Marriage to experience your 1st time..
Nah thats pretty much how it works this generation too. Dont know about GenX/Millenials though. But theres a reason we got declining birth rates lmfao. Only like 10 out of 300 people my entire highschool grade had relationships
@@williamschlass6371 Nope I just realized its cus i lived in a city LOL. Went back to the suburbs in a more rural/interior town and everybody was so nice and I made some good friends. Seriously citie are all psychopathic shitholes full of genuinely horrible people.
If you don't know the person that well, yes. After you get to know them better, consent can be implied via body language (ofc you should still stop if they ask you to). Just pay attention to their behavior and reactions.
My God. You kids and your obsession with the term Rizz. May you live long enough to realize how insanely corny that term is. Seriously. No living person with actual charisma calls it rizz
No he saw other guys did it and took their advice she corrected him and never did it again but his was just out of ignorance and innocence it’s like his DAD taught him how to talk to women or treat THEM and he was genuinely sorry he didn’t act entitled he just did not know he made no excuses and didn’t do it again that’s all that matters..
"Rizz". Not swag anymore, but "rizz". Language is getting dumber by the day with the last 2 generations. What they don't realize is that in 10 years only the older people will know what each other is saying and they'll talk to each other and just give dumb looks back and forth.
just glad the younger men are finding this gem of a film. it is what it is ultimately. remember what it was like to be young and let them have their fun lol
We got the highest math scores out of every other generation. Nobody gives a shit about language grandpa. People will use whatever they wish if its efficient enough to get the idea through.
Lord God, Can anyone explain to me - like seriously - why Gibson didn't hire a REAL Virginian to play Doss? Garfield is British . . . *forehead smack* Surely, amongst the TENS of THOUSANDS of actors LIVING and BREATHING in Virginia, he could have found a TRUE SOUTHERNER to play . . well . . . a TRUE SOUTHERNER is his entire crew really that lazy? and inatttentive? how disappointing. i truly am . . disappointed . .
Come to Russia 🇷🇺 guys..we still have such a culture..My husband were dating me for 4 years before my "yes" to marriage (we are 40 both).. and no kisses on 1st date..and people are not kissing each other at a movie theater... and no gay allowed... I think our country is the last who is stand for normal normality I would say..
