No. But previews turn me off.
Rush gave it a thumbs up today
The previews turned me off.
I saw it cuz Rush said to.
Yes, I would say it’s a good movie.
Saving Private Ryan was great and this one was good.
I saw it last night. The story was good and stayed within the parameters of historical accuracy. It really showed the character of the man, Desmond Doss, and his convictions. The relationship with his wife and his bravery on the battlefield almost made the movie write itself. Hell yes it was a good movie.
Not yet but plan to.
I saw it last night. It was good. I would recommend. Desmond Doss was a real hero.
Save your money and check out his own story on the Library of Congress’s Veterans History Project.
Well, it’s not The English Patient.
Seriously, I have been having a hard time watching these types of movies. I can watch fictional violence, but war movies based on fact are a bit bothersome to me.
probably
I liked it. I saw it a week or two ago.
Dr. Strange is good too.
The beginning is cringy. He looks
like your Bruno liberal in the ranks refusing to shoot a gun. Then the antigun scene of his dad trying to shoot wife in domestic abuse etc.
However this man in reality was no SJW, just a god fearing 7th Day Adventist, who does admit that he has some kind of remorse in wanting his father dead , but you can tell Hollywood is highjacking it all. A lot of cues when in a relationship evoke some kind of cringy communist subliminal romance too, found in other SJW movies.
The battle scenes then were pretty good with BAR as the star weapon in the hands of the toughest soldier and killer who ends up being his best friend before getting killed.
Ok, what he did was maintain the morale
of the troops and restablish somekind of
meaningful work for
civilization that the suicidal Japanese soldiers without hope and plenty of cynicals lacked. They did a good job of portraying Japanese stubborn discipline as hypocritical in its rituals given no display of civilization and diversity of point of
views on their side with medics of the kind.
So the latter half is A+, the beginning is slow and filled with propaganda, giving it a C. Also we never know what happened to his brother who too volunteered.
Aired February 18, 1959.
Worth watching to see the real man. Also worth reading his MOH citation.
No plans to see it here. he might have been brave, but the men who were willing to handle a weapon were the ones who won that war. I’ll save my movie buck for them.
Went on youtube,video Of This is Your Life,Desmond Doss good to watch,was a real humble man
(You can watch their network live online by going to this webpage, then selecting "Television" at the top of that page, followed by selecting "Watch Live" from that menu, in order to see whatever they are showing at that particular time. The Mel Gibson interview was not the first segment on that show, but it was quite interesting.)
Good Post rey
Now before anyone else spouts off about something they don’t know about

Saw it last night, very good movie. Closed my eyes during much of the all to realistic violence. However, it is very worth seeing. My only complaint is the rope ladder, why would the enemy continually leave a way up when the controlled the territory? Other than that, a good movie.
