Introduction
•Chosen example:Hacksaw Ridge(2016)
•Aurthor:Andrew Knight and Robert Schenkkan
•Thesis statement:The film follows the journey of Desmond Doss who aims to get in the army but came in conflict when the army justifies his ways of not holding a weapon due to his religion as a christian,being a seven day adventist creating doubts and confusion to the army despite his sworn oath to serve his counrty
Summary
•The extraordinary true story of conscientious objector Desmond T. Doss who saved 75 men in Okinawa, during the bloodiest battle of WWII, without firing a single shot. Believing that the war was just but killing was nevertheless wrong, he was the only American soldier in WWII to fight on the front lines without a weapon. As an army medic Doss single-handedly evacuated the wounded near enemy lines - braving enemy fire and putting his own life on the line. He was the first conscientious objector to ever win the Congressional Medal of Honor.
Evaluation
•It gives us a deeper understanding about sacrifice,will,and the strength to carry on,being Private Desmond Doss who is a religious man at heart,but with the army contradicting and doesnt agree on his ways of serving on the line without a weapon and proved them all wrong with strong enough so stand for himself and served his country as a medic
•the film also highlights the difficulties between individual beliefs and social expectations,regarding the main character's conflict between his beliefs compared to what the army wants that creates a barrier of misundsrstanding between both parties
•Yes he proved a point by producing this particular movie,based on real life experience of a guy with a dream of serving his country despite the discriminations,he overcame it and proved himself worthy to the people to see
Conclusion
•I agree to the whole story,and the part where he proved everyone wrong and,became brave and helped his wounded co soldiers get back into the medical bay
•I agree to all the parts,pacing,the story and the overall experience when i watched it,the one thing that i only disagree with is that of how harsh they treated the main character regarding his own beliefs
•As me who watches this a lot of times,this is one of those movies i consider a "work of art" just how the creation of the movie,because you can really feel those emotions flowing as the movie progresses,the suspense of the action,and how the real life experience was well adapted into this movie
