'The Last Survivor' Scene | Hacksaw Ridge 

its in the script.

@ listen to his CO talking about him at the end of the film and you'll get an idea how much they came to respect him

Really well acted. Those men saw God in the actions of Daws that day. Imagine that, being in hell and seeing God is still there.

@ Nooo. Really? I never would have guessed.

Thats not the actual thing. It's just a movie. Why are you in awe of a movie?

Only god knows how many men are still up there now still on the remnants of that battlefield and countless others.

@BMT115 I was hoping to go see it for myself when I was in the Reserves. I was supposed to go to Okinawa for 3 weeks and one of the places we all wanted to see was Hacksaw Ridge itself. Unfortunately we got a call a week before telling us that we would be going to Texas instead. Then 1 week later we were approached by a Major and she said "Marines you need to get home right now, the entire country is about to be shut down. There are rumors that the Millitary could be deployed to enforce a Quarantine." That was March 15, 2020. I hope to go one day.

@@DivineKnight_115 ain't no god there

Sounds even more unlawful when put like that@@FernandoMartinez-pv1id

Just like he wanted, he was able to get one more.

Like what

@@Alpha-mr9eu for starters, he free climbed the cliff to help set the cargo net that the rest of the unit climbed up.

@@Alpha-mr9eu a Japanese sniper had him in his sights and the gun misfired. he cleared the round and it misfired again.

@@nepntzerZerwhere is the prof for that?

not sure about it anymore, its been a bit of a day or two since i watched this movie but wasnt there also a parallel of "carry a bit of my burden and ill carry all of yours"? cause one of his buddys always had to carry his rifle in BT, right?

This movie is a shit. Poor scenario, no tactical logic, unrealistic war scenes => non sense at all...

@@frogsgottalent1106 Despite the fact that Britain itself organized the coup and the assassination of the Russian royal family and the export of royal jewels, the stolen Russian tiara was worn by the British queen, as well as the stolen Indian diamond Koh-i-Noor. Britain supported all sides of the revolution in Russia, including the Bolsheviks in exchange for gold. A lot of gold was taken to Czechoslovakia by the Czechoslovak corps. Later in 1938, after the Munich conspiracy, division of Czechoslovakia, Czechoslovak gold was transferred to Nazi Germany through the Bank of England, including that gold from Russia. USSR promoted UN Resolution 3379 in 1975 In this film, the protagonist is a Jew, as they do in many American films now.

Perhaps he took " For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places." very literally.

It's about as real and true to history as StarWars

Huh?

⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠@@lightofeyezzI think he said: "the way he silently snaps at his comrades like a cornered animal, then slows down as the adrenaline wears off makes me tear up everytime. Those men truly experienced hell on earth." Hope this helps.

​@@lightofeyezz in plain English he was still in that zone when he came down until he saw his superior officer and realized he was safe then all that adrenaline flowing through him left top speed and exhaustion/relief set it The back of his knees probably felt like someone took a bat to them and down he went

lmao​@@lewisbooth3917

​@@lightofeyezzYou little dumb?

Made me wonder how many more men he saved indirectly by inspiring others to follow in his footsteps.

Was he actually bullied by his unit in training, or was that just theatrics for this movie?

@@Flogge11 i mean considering the time and what he was doing i dont doubt it at all that he was bullied or haze the hell out of him

@@Flogge11 he was. In fact, look him up. They cut things he actually did because they felt movie audiences wouldn't believe it. His story is even more unbelievable than this.

@@Flogge11 Apparently one of the people he trained with vaguely threatened to kill him with friendly fire. That same man later on would come to doss to ask him for counsel and to pray for him. Doss' story is downright astounding, absolute giant of a man.

What a beautiful detail, I hadn't noticed that before reading yours and another person's comment. Thank you!

He called him a soldier immediately after…..he was one of the bravest, truly 1 in 16 million

Was he ####ing Jim Corbett? haha.

It's an AWFUL movie, that glorifies the war and is an insult to the memory of the real men who fought and sacrificed for our future. It's about as historically accurate as StarWars.

@@EPICFAILKING1 Explain your reasoning.

@@spectralassassin6030 do some historical research of your own rather than taking a Hollywood production as bible. You must be incredibly young or incredibly naive.

@@EPICFAILKING1 Could we know why you think so?

@@thevolatiledude6537 Posted below, but here it is - sorry for essay. First thing that is an issue is some of the details in the movie, like when he got married (1942) and not later like the film suggests, also his wife was not a nurse who he met in the service, they were indeed already married as stated and his wife wasn't a certified nurse until years after the war. Doss was never on trial for his court martial, in the film his father walks in and stops the verdict in the final moments. In reality his father wrote contacted somebody within high command and Desmond received a pardon, and received a three day pass to visit his brother before he returned to the Navy. The film fails to accurately depict the extent of Doss' injuries sustained in battle. In the movie they show a scene where Doss slaps and kicks away to grenades and subsequently he receives grenade shrapnel, though in reality Doss sustained a total of 17 shrapnel wounds from separate portions of the battle, and he was also shot in his left arm by a Japanese sniper which shattered his arm. All of this, paired with the Tuberculosis he caught in Okinawa, left Doss almost entirely disabled after the war. Apparently Mel Gibson left the real sequence of events out of the story as they didn't seem "believable" to an audience (yet apparently literally slapping a grenade was?), Gibson also overly dramatizes his shots with slow mo and ridiculous combat sequence like where that one guy fire's a BAR in one hand and holds a human carcass as a shield in the other. The uniforms, tactics and at times dialogue are not reminiscent of the time period, in fact their is a complete lack of any battlefield tactics except some modern techniques like sweeping and having the weapon in a high port stance (which is post WWII doctrine). The uniforms are basic at best and most of the men are either buff or too old to be authentic, and again the uniforms are rag-tag and thrown together, more importantly they're also missing their signature helmet markings. In terms of respecting and acknowledging the actual men who fought, the film glorifies the conflict whilst getting all the basic and major aspects that make these men who they are/ were wrong. The disrespect done to the 96th infantry division, who scaled the rope wall first (which was much smaller than depicted) is irresponsible and distasteful to their memory. In four days of brutal firefights and often hand to hand combat, two companies (about 200 men) were reduced to 40% combat effectiveness until they were relieved by Doss' unit, the 77th infantry division. The gross exaggeration on the combat is probably the main example of how Gibson had the wrong intentions when making this movie, the extremely close range shootouts the constant charges and the retreats that follow on the US side, when in reality Okinawa was still typical of late-war Pacific combat in which the Japanese remained hidden whilst the US used their overwhelming fire power to dispatch the enemy, then clearing any potential fighting positions they advanced upon with grenades, satchels and flamethrowers. As previously stated their was of course hand-to-hand fighting but not on the scale shown here, Gibson is known for his ridiculous fighting scenes that are reminiscent of the Medieval period. To history buffs and/ or historical re-enactors this movie is a wish wash that provides no amount of real authenticity besides his name and the fact he fought in WWII, and most importantly, to the families of these men - it's another reason to turn the TV off. All in all, a below average representation that misses the point of war completely. Hence why you see all the comments "this move is so sick" when what people should be saying is "these men were truly magnificent spectacles of self sacrifice to who we owe a great debt".

when the last man noticed this was one of the greates heroes on the field.

It was the highest compliment that the Captain was capable of giving him. He called him a soldier, when before he said he never would.

Soldier here. That title has to be earned.

That statement is everything in this scene.

Well, to some reports he also lowered Japanese soldiers. To a medic, a life is a life accounted for.

I read a biography of him where others said he had saved 100 soldiers, but he was humble and said he thinks it was only 50 and so everyone decided on a median number and that's how 75 saved came about.

@@mace2gorc872 it’s insane. What he did was the bravest, most courageous thing that a single person has ever done. Could you imagine saving that many lives that were assured dead, while at the same time not taking lives? God really was helping him

God held him up, that's why he could do what he did

Actually, he's merely the first. You'll find another in Sp4 Joseph G. LaPointe, a conscientious objector medic who was KIA in Vietnam. I was fortunate enough to work with his widow many years after his death. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_G._LaPointe_Jr.

@@richarddexter7641 I'll check it out, thanks.

It is just the MOH (Medal of Honor). No Congressional at the beginning. Edited in last sentence.

Please remember Thomas W. Bennett......

@@dartmaster501 just?

yeah, that was a seriously over the top moment that I very much doubt happened and was just a stylized way of showing him as blessed or whatever. they do it later in the movie too when he is coming down on the gurney zipline thing. I thought the movie was great except for those two moments which were a bit much.

@@TheNitroG1 you doubt a man who was rescuing 75+ wounded men, wouldn't be covered in blood and had water dumped on him to get the caked on blood off? Why is that an unbelievable thing?

That is the exact and right response to such heroism - gratitude.

Beautiful detail, I hadn't noticed that. Thank you!

I noticed this as well, I think it's a sign of shell-shock if I remember right. Beautiful little detail in that gesture is that he doesn't tilt his head, but leans his entire head and neck into his palm.

Captain's hand*

He wasn't listening he was watching for the muzzle flash. Then looked at potential sniper nest.

better get a physical copy

I saw it on prime yesterday, and i'm not even in the u.s

It‘s on prime for me

Was on hulu

I rented this on Amazon cause I was going to see Hacksaw Ridge the next day

I have heard that also. Like Audie Murphy. The men that fought with him said that if they made the movie scenes about Audie truthful - nobody would believe it.

except that he'd have to reload about 5 times during that drag...

@phantomdance M3 has a 30-round magazine. He fired 28 times and reloaded at the bottom of the ridge. (I might have miscounted the rounds, but I don’t think I'm off by too much. M3 has a notoriously slow rate of fire.)

@@sst1911 I thought i had the shot count over 50 during the drag but i could be wrong. didn't think it had a 30 round clip though, figured 15-20

He had scavenger perk on

'should of' ffs!

Yeah, don't mean to be that guy - actually no, 100% to be that guy - it's 'should have' or 'should've', never 'of'!

OH look the text chodes have returned to the internet. Whats next, shall you inspect our closets to make sure we dress well enough for society?

@@Samuel85228 What about "shoulda"? 😀

@@transcendentalidiot3321 yeah shoulda works too

not quite. From what I've heard, his fellow soldiers pretty much all said 100. He, himself, said no more than 50. They compromised at 75.

@@VictorLarsen-fy9ls Absolutely astonishing train of thought there.

After Audie Murphy / Michael Witmann / Jochen Peiper and Sergeant Eardley of course!

@@rolfagten857 f Michael Whitman. Wasn't he a German tank commander?

@@thelikebutton88 Yes, Tiger Ace to be exact

And a true warrior of God.

@@rolfagten857 why don't you name the more brave one kurt knispel who had more kills to his name and stood up to the SS ?

He was very humble. He didn't want any books or movies produced while he was alive. Although, the book 'Unlikeliest Hero' was published just before his death. This book gave the actual accomplishments of Doss that included other areas of fighting that he was involved in. I believe that he won the Bronze star, twice. And three purple hearts. He was at Guam and Leyte as well as Okinawa. Quite a man!

What's not to like? He's a genius actor *AND* director, right up there with Clint Eastwood.

@@Conan_the_Based I didn't go crazy over The Passion though I thought it was well made I know people who treated it a documentary one even telling me I'd go to hell. Gee it was a movie that's all.

Well there is a documentary like movie in which titled Jesus of Nazareth it is 6 hours long very Biblical historical basis and accuracy Passion of Christ is accurate though some events are from other basis such as the veil of veronica scene wiping Christ face The darkness from 12 to 3, earthquake, are historical and biblically based there actually other sources concerning about it. Relac mate if some one told you to got to hell that an insult and straightforwardly wrong condemning someone is wrong but he or she told in a way of warning you well maybe he or she just cares about you, the lake of fire the punishment of evil is just but its upto you if you accept Christ and its upto you if you want a journey to know who Yeshua or Jesus is the messiah the prophetic fulfillment.
