Hacksaw Ridge

The brutal aggression and bloodshed of WW II are not unknown to us. But any example of humanity amidst this barbarism helps us to keep our faith on benevolence. Hacksaw Ridge is an extraordinary true story of Desmond Doss who saved 75 people during WW Il. It beautifully showcases the contrast between a simple man’s unconventional beliefs and the viciousness of warfare. This directorial venture of Mel Gibson gives a different angle to this genre, it’s a sublime tale of war, hope, love and commitment.
