Made me cry he deserved much more for what they put him through and he still only wanted to do what was right he didn't hold it against them he must of had a good understanding that some times people just live a different life and learn a way that we don't always agree or what not but it makes them who they r alot of the time they become the person that raised them and he I'm sure he just had a unconditional love but what im getting at is he saved their butts anyway
And to think that they left out a lot of the heroic things Doss did so the movie about him would be believable. It is truly an inspiration to all of us, no matter how timid we are, we are capable of great things if we allow courage to take hold instead of fear.
That was true about Sergeant York too. His real actions were so incredible and out there that filming them would have looked absurd. They did the opposite with Audie Murphy. The film is accurate but a lot of people accuse it of being overblown and impossible.
@@penultimateh766 that’s because Audie Murphy played himself and had them get it right as much as possible. Audie wanted it to be authentic and true to what he experienced and considering that man had PTSD and allowed himself to be put in a situation similar to the one he experienced, even if it was a Hollywood set speaks volumes to his character and mental fortitude.
while badass indeed i would encourage you to look up Leo Major from canada. that man single handedly captured an entire town from the germans just to save it from being shelled costing civilian lives. captured literally hundreds of enemy soldiers killed several SS and was awarded the 2nd highest award possible 3x one of which was in the korean war which he also took part in...
Daniel Joseph Daly Born: November 11, 1873 One example of his exploits: Since the defensive positions surrounding the legation were badly damaged, the rest of the Marines headed off to gather reinforcements and supplies to rebuild the fortifications around the embassy. Private Daly volunteered to stay back and hold the fort while they were gone. That night, shit hit the fan. Dan was just hanging out, smoking a cigarette, when all of a sudden a huge force of Chinese Boxers started bull-rushing the American Embassy with torches, rifles, and various other weaponry raised above their heads, screaming like madmen. They had come to destroy the consulate, and Daly was the only man between this rampaging horde and the diplomatic legation. In the face of this seemingly unending onslaught, Dan Daly knew it was time to be a Marine. He jammed an ammunition belt into his squad machine gun, took a deep breath, and squeezed the trigger. The next morning, the rest of Private Daly's squad arrived at the barricade Daly had been charged with defending. Through the smoke and the carnage, they saw Dan Daly sitting on the fortifications puffing a smoke, surrounded by the bodies of 200 slain Boxers. For his actions in single-handedly defending the legation in the face of impossible odds, Private Daly received the Congressional Medal of Honor. BTW: he ran out of ammo and went hand to hand toward end of the fight..with knife, rifle butt, etc Another example: In 1917 the United States once again needed the help of Sergeant Daly. Around this time France and Germany were in the middle of the biggest and deadliest war the planet had ever seen, and the U.S. decided to send in the Marines to help kick some ass in "The Great War", as it was now being called. Well Daly sure as shit wasn't going to miss out on an opportunity to fight in a World War, so he shipped out at age 44. He fought in several campaigns with the American Expeditionary Force in France, and won combat medals three more times - once when he crawled out under heavy enemy fire and rescued a half-dozen wounded Marines who were pinned down, once when he single-handedly captured 13 German soldiers, and once when he took out a heavily-fortified German machine gun nest all by himself using nothing more than a handful of grenades and a Colt .45 Automatic. He was also wounded three times, but yeah right like that could slow him down. Daly's greatest moment in World War I came during the intense fighting at the Battle of Belleau Wood. Daly's Marines were in the middle of a shitstorm. They were outnumbered two-to-one, outgunned, and facing down the barrel of a veritable load of German machine gun nests. They had been pinned down for hours by a non-stop hail of artillery and gunfire, and things were looking bleak as hell for our boys. Well all of a sudden, just as things were looking hopeless, a lone figure jumped up onto the earthworks the American Marines had been using for cover. Sergeant Dan Daly looked down the line, clutched his rifle and shouted, "Come on, you sons of bitches, do you want to live forever?" before charging out to meet the enemy. The men of the United States Marine Corps saw this act of bravery and decided, no, they did not want to live forever. They went "over the top" and charged the German positions. On 26 June 1917 the U.S. High Command in France received the following telegram: Woods now U.S. Marine Corps entirely. For his actions in the Belleau Woods, Sergeant Daly received the Navy Cross and the French Croix de Guerre. Semper Fi
He did after the war. Desmond doss suffered greatly and I mean greatly after the war. He had very severe ptsd. He lost Dorothy to a car accident which he was driving. She was dieing of cancer. Yes my friend he died 100 times. I know cause I've died 100 times for all the same reasons. So much of me is dead, my body just doesn't know to stop functioning. Yes, all soldiers who have seen what we have seen and do the things we did, everyone of these men die alittle more with each nightmare.
@@briancarey1159 I am so sorry to say you are right. He re-fought that battle 'til al last he was given Peace. And I am sorry to hear that you must re-fight your battles. I hope I offer no insult when I pray that you are given peace in this life, and need not wait on the Next. God bless you.
Crazy to think Mel Gibson had to tone down Desmond's heroic's because it was too crazy in real life that people would have thought Mel Gibson Hollywoodized it.
I'm not a religious person but even I have to acknowledge that lad had someone looking over him, you can't make stuff like that up, I'm glad he went on to have a long & happy life.
If you're acknowledging that someone was looking over him then you're admitting to being religious. You either believe in the supernatural or you don't.
The Japanese sniper was one bit that was changed to be more believable than the true story. The sniper survived the war and testified that he had Doss in his sights 3 different times but his gun jammed all 3 times. This was too unbelievable even for a movie about a true story so it was changed to the sniper scene we have here at 1:30.

Same thing happen to George Washington. An Indian fighting with the British in Braddox's Army. Who had been killed. Washington took command.. "Another witness who had spoken with Red Hawk, an Indian chief, after the victory, said he had shot 11 different times at Washington without hitting him and because his gun had never before missed its mark, Red Hawk ceased firing at him, convinced that the Great Spirit protected Washington." "Our rifles were leveled- rifles which, but for you, knew not how to miss. It was all in vain; a power mightier far than we shielded you. Seeing you were under the special guardianship of the Great Spirit, we immediately ceased to fire at you."
I've heard of events like this,guns fail to fire,explosions from which people walked out of,bullets passing through people and blowing up the seat behind them.surviving a 10000 foot fall.
Nobody in the comments seems to be talking about this, but at 2:32, is the first moment in the film that Doss actually holds a gun. But for me, at that moment, Desmond was not holding a gun, because he didn’t use it as one. He gave that metal tube with wooden parts a new purpose, a new meaning as a way of saving a life, not take one… and he did. He proved that in this broken world, one could still use something designed purely to destroy, to do the exact opposite. He used an object of killing to save, and I think thats fucking beautiful

What Desmond Doss is the true definition of bravery. Imagine spending a night behind enemy lines with no way to protect yourself surrounded by enemies with no way to defend yourself and still be able to pull 75 wounded men off the ridge that otherwise would die.
He and Sgt Benevidez’s stories are two that always amaze me. There are countless more that would and do from US soldiers, I know, countless stories of bravery, sacrifice, honor, and perseverance. Would that I could show but a small fraction of the character of such men and women.
When in (5:05) he starts to walk, the look on his face shows his suspicion then suddenly he realizes their respect. The last soldier, his smile shows his respect. That is my take
Something else I think was good in this scene is when the Major/Captain reaches out and holds his head a bit, Doss presses his head into the hand - seeking comfort. Thought that was a nice choice by the actor to do that, even if subtly. It seemed so natural.
my father was there. described the sheer hill with rope ladder. said during the fighting the smoke was thick and that enemy soldiers would pop up from caves among the US troops and blow themselves up. this movie depicts what he described.
Naw wisdom and knowledge does that for us every thing else is there but it's for us to truly believe. To give it to the Almighty and say I can't and trust that he can and then see he did but not look. A different type of situation between looking and seeing and listening and hearing ya know but I agree with you 100
Hacksaw Ridge has got to be my favorite WW2 movie. What an incredible story, based on fact. I wish that Desmond Doss could have seen the movie made honoring him before he passed.
Amazing true story. He stayed behind , when the entire battalion left. When he tried to save Smitty , played by actor : Luke Bracey. He found out that Smitty had died. He then prays to God. He tells God," God I can't hear you ". Then a fallen soldier is yelling and begging for help. Artillery shells are still falling down . As there are still American soldiers laying down wounded but still alive. Japanese soldiers are on foot patrols looking for American soldiers wounded . So they could bayonet them and kill them. Yet, amazingly Desmond Doss takes cover and safely waits for opportunity to rescue the ones he could save. How many Americans do we have now days would do this ? He saved over 75 American wounded soldiers . Its believed he actually saved 100 . Amazing story of courage and love for man kind and a true love for God. Action speaks louder then words. Also he saved his captain that was trying to kick him out of the Army. When he pushed a hand grenade away from the captain and kicked the other hand grenade with his foot. He even rescued his Sargent that was hazing him back in boot camp. To pull a blanket with all the weight of a sargent that weighed more then his self. God gave him the courage and the strength . Amazing movie and true story. They should teach this in all high schools. Loyalty , love , courage. Plus : Love for God's Holy Bible. Amen.
In the old days people used to give the executioner coins as a tip to make it quick and painless. It was also a sign that he didn't hold his executioner responsible for doing his job. -Old Yeller
In real life he had to low crawl rescue a lot of those soldiers, if you haven't done a proper low crawl, you have no idea how tiring that is, let alone with a wounded soldier on your back and he did miles worth of that. He collapsed of pure exhaustion after he got the last soldier.
He was just the vessel! Not to take anything away for this man but the lord gave him strength and protection. We should all be so blessed as to have that type of power flow thru us. In his name and all his glory god bless Desmond Doss
As a veteran seeing the respect for the man who risked all to save every last survivor . those who fought in world war II deserve absolute respect those who earned the MOH are Legends
*A man who faced the bloodiest theater of war, the Pacific, without firing a shot, and became one of the greatest heroes of the Second World War by saving lives, his mission was accomplished Desmond doss...a great and blessed son of God*
This is smart and heroic. Giving priority to education means building nation in different dimension...it is vivid that everyone enjoys the fruit of discipline from this movies. 😅
I was proud to go thru fort Jackson, tank hill, in May of 1985. The same barracks that these guys trained in. I trained in. Wish I'd of known it back then. There was still ww2 training posters up. For map and terrain training, they actually had posters of naked women. I wish I could have kept a few of those posters.
Before God, before their Mother's, they call for me. The Medic's Creed. I will come for you... The LORD bless and keep all that bear that red cross on their uniforms. No braver man EVER went to battle.
The fact that Doss did what he did is beyond comprehension. Yet, no man should ever have needed to experience that horror. War is the epitome of human indecency.
I appreciate that this is not 100% accurate. Nothing can be in these kinds of situations. But if only 1% was true, this man was a hero. This reminds me of Piper millen, who, at the order of his CO, played the pipes on Sword Beach during D day. He told his CO, Lord lovat, that playing the pipes was against regulations, and Lovat replied. Ah, but that's the English War Office. You and I are both Scottish, and that doesn't apply" They advanced to pegasus bridge under the Piper. Snipers could have taken him out but, according to sources, didn't. He had no weapon, just a musical instrument, and survived that. Insane
@@hardwirecars To be a saint isn't to be a deity. A saint is typically someone who's carried out great acts of kindness and overall good in the name of God. I myself am not directly religious but even I feel that Doss deserves to be remembered as such.
@@JPVNG67 faith in who? GOD,GOD INTERVENED,he does it all the time,i've personally seen three miracles,one for me and two for others,and i don't care who believes me or not,why? FAITH
In real life Doss represents the best of humanity…. He is a true hero…. He saved hundreds of lives…. He understood loyalty, service, duty, compassion, kindness, faith, hope and love. Doss let his actions speak for him. He inspires us to be better people. 😇😇😇🙏🙏🙏
This film has given great homage to the Christian faith and how the Ten Commandments play a role in each of our lives. History teaches how nations have fallen when the Presence of GOD is driven away by crime, that the Bible defines as sin, and the enemy of peace takes His place. Just look where we are now with the lawlessness everywhere. And these are times of peace.
Different backgrounds, different faiths, different ethnicities, different cultures, different beliefs, it all comes together in a honorable manner known as Brotherhood.
The rest of the company coming to his aid, after he jumps over the edge is brave. In making sure that he survives to receive his CMOH from President Truman.
1:08 That's one hell of a soldier. 2:36 What the fuck Doss, now you pick up a rifle. 3:28 you've done enough little guy, let's face facts. 4:09 SAVE THAT MAN AT ALL COSTS
Because both sides wanted the nets in place. For the Americans it was to scale the cliffs. For the Japanese it was because they wanted to know where the Americans were going to come from ie. Plan the killing zone. The cargo nets were in fact in the best interest of both parties. Odd as it sounds.

The most amazing thing about Doss is that he managed to forgive those who ridiculed him.
Isn’t that what a Christian would do?
@@leiflohne3096 absolutely countless.
It’s in the Bible, forgive and forget
Forgiveness is the sensible reaction regardless of whether one has a faith or not because hate will destroy you whereas forgiveness sets you free.
Of course, he forgave them. They were not bad men they just did not understand him.
“Let’s get this SOLDIER to a hospital bed right now”
Recognition and respect for his efforts in a war zone, you love to see it.
Made me cry he deserved much more for what they put him through and he still only wanted to do what was right he didn't hold it against them he must of had a good understanding that some times people just live a different life and learn a way that we don't always agree or what not but it makes them who they r alot of the time they become the person that raised them and he I'm sure he just had a unconditional love but what im getting at is he saved their butts anyway
@@crystalo3550 he was a GREAT man
All without never even firing a single shot from basic training onward

He has been mainly doing serious roles for the last few years and he is pretty believable in them.

He was pretty good in Brawl in Cell Block 99 as a more serious role.

Amen ! Great piece you wrote there ❣️ Love for the Bible, Gods word
What a crap..... I pray for ur recovery
Doss was Bushido!!!
In the old days people used to give the executioner coins as a tip to make it quick and painless. It was also a sign that he didn't hold his executioner responsible for doing his job.
-Old Yeller
The adrenaline wore off... just like that!!!! Man was a machine!!!!
I remember Turners last words from cod
"No sacrifices too great, NOW GO!"
In real life he had to low crawl rescue a lot of those soldiers, if you haven't done a proper low crawl, you have no idea how tiring that is, let alone with a wounded soldier on your back and he did miles worth of that. He collapsed of pure exhaustion after he got the last soldier.
to pull that many adult men wearing their full gear to safety and keep going back for another one shows amazing will power.
He was just the vessel! Not to take anything away for this man but the lord gave him strength and protection. We should all be so blessed as to have that type of power flow thru us. In his name and all his glory god bless Desmond Doss
Even as a vessel, he was only human, so his will and determination, would of still helped him alongside God.
Heroism is an event, Private Doss made it his lifestyle
They ridiculed him for his beliefs, and yet he saved over 70 men in his company, thus earning their respect.
Most people thought differently back then
The adrenaline rush is so great this man is a great hero
@@WayneRussell-t6g bəli
I really Love this scene..so intense!😊
hes hero, every one is hero. Glad he saves heros.
As a veteran seeing the respect for the man who risked all to save every last survivor . those who fought in world war II deserve absolute respect those who earned the MOH are Legends
*A man who faced the bloodiest theater of war, the Pacific, without firing a shot, and became one of the greatest heroes of the Second World War by saving lives, his mission was accomplished Desmond doss...a great and blessed son of God*
This is smart and heroic. Giving priority to education means building nation in different dimension...it is vivid that everyone enjoys the fruit of discipline from this movies. 😅
I was proud to go thru fort Jackson, tank hill, in May of 1985. The same barracks that these guys trained in. I trained in. Wish I'd of known it back then. There was still ww2 training posters up. For map and terrain training, they actually had posters of naked women. I wish I could have kept a few of those posters.
As the Bible says, "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." God was with him because he believes.
When he said "...that, or a bullet" I kinda wish he had said, "Sorry sir, I don't carry a rifle"
A true hero! Confident in his belief!! I guess... consequence...!!!!!!!!!!
Before God, before their Mother's, they call for me.
The Medic's Creed.
I will come for you...
The LORD bless and keep all that bear that red cross on their uniforms. No braver man EVER went to battle.
I love this show... I love real heroes... God bless all real heroes...
"Are you wounded?"...They were all wounded, everyone of them that came back. All had the deepest wounds of all, of the mind.
2016 was the best year of my life. What i'd give to relive it.
The fact that Doss did what he did is beyond comprehension. Yet, no man should ever have needed to experience that horror. War is the epitome of human indecency.
This is one of the best WW2 movies ever made.
Mel is brilliant
I appreciate that this is not 100% accurate. Nothing can be in these kinds of situations.
But if only 1% was true, this man was a hero.
This reminds me of Piper millen, who, at the order of his CO, played the pipes on Sword Beach during D day.
He told his CO, Lord lovat, that playing the pipes was against regulations, and Lovat replied.
Ah, but that's the English War Office. You and I are both Scottish, and that doesn't apply"
They advanced to pegasus bridge under the Piper. Snipers could have taken him out but, according to sources, didn't.
He had no weapon, just a musical instrument, and survived that.
Insane
German prisoners all said the same thing; that he was clearly insane and therefore shooting him was needless.
And so the lord will sent his angel down to earth to protect and save the innocent from the firey pit.
Honestly, Desmond Doss deserves to be remembered in part as Saint Doss.
@@grubb2103 yes I agree with u on that one my friend.
@@grubb2103 yeah but non of us protistants do that kind of thing its one of the issues we had with the catholics they deafied mortals.
@@hardwirecars Deified? How so?
@@hardwirecars To be a saint isn't to be a deity. A saint is typically someone who's carried out great acts of kindness and overall good in the name of God. I myself am not directly religious but even I feel that Doss deserves to be remembered as such.
HE CALLED on the HOLY SPIRIT, when you do that,GOD turns it on and shuts it off,leaving bewildered men in AWE,DOSS ASKED
was not God, was his FAITH
@@JPVNG67 faith in who? GOD,GOD INTERVENED,he does it all the time,i've personally seen three miracles,one for me and two for others,and i don't care who believes me or not,why? FAITH
Sgt. York was another example of a godly man exercising faith on the battlefield.
Vince was surgical with that weapon.
In real life Doss represents the best of humanity…. He is a true hero…. He saved hundreds of lives…. He understood loyalty, service, duty, compassion, kindness, faith, hope and love. Doss let his actions speak for him. He inspires us to be better people. 😇😇😇🙏🙏🙏
This film has given great homage to the Christian faith and how the Ten Commandments play a role in each of our lives. History teaches how nations have fallen when the Presence of GOD is driven away by crime, that the Bible defines as sin, and the enemy of peace takes His place. Just look where we are now with the lawlessness everywhere. And these are times of peace.
So god aided Doss but let countless others die horrendous deaths. Explain that?
One of the best war movie scene 👍
Thats what i call a DI.....Divine Intervention at its best.🙏
That's faith in action. Amazing story
Andrew was born to play that role and , Doss prove again that the word of god is the most powerfully weapon you can have
That it definitely is intense and he saved so many soldiers as well.
Different backgrounds, different faiths, different ethnicities, different cultures, different beliefs, it all comes together in a honorable manner known as Brotherhood.
this movie is epic a real classic
A living Saint, any man would stop and stare.
Medal of honor, what a brave heart without any fire arms
I could watch this over,over again
I watched a video of him receiving a commendation from his church organization. He said:
"God gives men life, who was I to take it?"
Yes. Beautiful words.
An amazing man of faith and bravery. God bless his memory and those who lived and died .
More guts than you can string on a 40 mile fence.
The rest of the company coming to his aid, after he jumps over the edge is brave. In making sure that he survives to receive his CMOH from President Truman.
4:32 priceless !
Desmond Doss one of AMERICA GREATEST HEROES
3:24 pardon me for a sec but wouldnt the cloth just drag out from under sarge
Salute to the memory of this MAN among men!!!🇺🇸
Mel did a fantastic job with this!
Doss and others like him managed to square the circle; duty, sacrifice, service to your country without killing. Honour untarnished.
Fine, I’ll rewatch Hacksaw Ridge
11 months ago 😮
1:08 That's one hell of a soldier. 2:36 What the fuck Doss, now you pick up a rifle. 3:28 you've done enough little guy, let's face facts. 4:09 SAVE THAT MAN AT ALL COSTS
Vince Voughn was a hell of a shot.
Desmond T. Doss risked his life fighting for our country, we owe him our gratitude...
“Awesome sauce!” Amazing scene. Great film. Champion Christian Hero!
How many bullets does that grease gun's magazine have?
Also...I feel his actual deeds are diminished by the Hollywood super hero portrayal.
Actually in real life Desmond's actions was more insane that they actually TONED it down to make it more believable.
Idk what it is, but this scene reminds me so much of the scene from "Enemy at the Gates"
Just an observation. Why didn’t the Japanese cut down the climbing nets? Would have prevented the marines from scaling the cliff
The climbing nets were anchored to the rim of the cliff. If you tried to cut them you would be exposed over the edge of the cliff.
@@salguodrolyat2594 makes sense. Thanks
Because both sides wanted the nets in place. For the Americans it was to scale the cliffs. For the Japanese it was because they wanted to know where the Americans were going to come from ie. Plan the killing zone. The cargo nets were in fact in the best interest of both parties. Odd as it sounds.
I watch this movie many times until now this movie is the best
Doss BELIEVED in God!.......With God, ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE!
@@JeffreyMorgan-yk3fv amen 🙏
Andrew was amazing in this role
Doss is a very kind person. He treath not only his comrade but the enemy us well, thats way he earn the respect of many soldier during world war 2?
WHERE CAN I GET THAT PORTRAIT AT THE END OF THIS VIDEO ? Gotta have it.
Fact the guy he helped in the tunnel ended up living and meeting does irl
Реальный воин реальный человек Слава ему от Русского народа а что сейчас творят Сша Деды прокляли свои потомков
That shower must have felt SOOO GOOD
I haven’t got to the end but I reckon the person with the best hair cut will win.
great movie - brutal, but great
What was it? Like 46 men he saved?
About 75, give or take a few
@@peterhowe547 wow… thank you for the response!
According to the government 150. Doss said he thought it was more like 50. Either way the man is one of the greatest humans to walk this Earth.
