I read biography about Desmond Doss and the movie didnt even cover 1/3rd of the incredible things he did. Dude had a guardian angel or something watching over him.
They couldn't because ppl wouldn't believe, some didn't even believe the movie as is. It's crazy what Doss did, and inspiration to all that served and his country.
That was a powerful moment in the movie where the rear commander demands to know why the unit isn’t advancing on the enemy. They said they were waiting for Doss to finish praying for them.
Cuz they know he would go back to get them, if they die they know their bodies will reach their families because of him and that he wouldn't leave a man behind.
@@akshaykumaar34my 22 year old cousin died doing exactly that. couldn’t leave his fellow soldiers on the ground and that’s when a rocket hit them… only one person survived from the whole unit.
Desmond Doss is a prime example of a hero that didn’t need to fight to win. He just did the right thing amidst terrible circumstances and saved countless lives and the descendants of those he saved.
It's funny that in real life Desmond saved significantly more than it was said in the movie, to make his story more believable to the general audience.
The thing is, they didn't know the exact number. Doss said that it was no more then 50 where as his superior officer ( I think ) said it was a lot more. Maybe about 100. But they had to settle at some number, when they decided to give him the Medal. So they kinda decided it was 75. Doss was pretty humble and he was probably under severe stress. So might was probably more than 50. But sadly, no one knows exactly how many he got down.

Everyone is talking about Garfield’s acting, but the writing was really good too. The writing in combination with Garfield’s acting really hit hard in this scene.
Let’s give Mel some props… the numbers of actors that participated marked the end of his cancellation. PS the comment about the writing not mattering because it a true story is dumb. Also, Mel as an ultra conservative Catholic doing a movie about a historical SDA (extreme Protestant - I was raised one, and read Dawson’s book many times), was pretty open-minded of him. SDAs are Christians, but believe in the Judaic sabbath, mentioned but not made a massive deal of. Great film about a true hero. Perfectly executed by Mel.
@ChunguSan there was a lot of parts that were embellished or totally false. It's damm near impossible to make a profitable movie that is totally accurate. You have to put hollyin it or it won't make money. Hence why there are so many documentaries

As a retired person from the Army and served 10 years of that in the infantry, I can respect that. I always had respect for the medics who stayed right by our side.
My nephew was a medic in afganistan fell from a helo snd broke his hip. Surgery in germany and back too afganistan as a medic broke his hip again in a down chopper .respect medics and all who setved and if you didnt serve pay taxes its at least what we can do.

Captain Salomon is also a front runner having taken it upon himself to hold the line against an insurmountable wave of Japanese aggressors while his patients fell back to the Regimental Aid Station. He was found surrounded by 98 dispatched combatants, 76 mortal wounds from bayonets and bullets (implying he was attacked posthumously) and a trail of blood showing where he had repositioned his machine gun emplacement before succumbing to his wounds in defense of his fellow man and his patients
@Ankur VU2EHC fire superiority is the best form of battlefield medicine! AATW! Can treat the enemy wounded when they're neutralized and no longer a threat to my Joe's.
I met him a couple times. If I remember correctly, his citation stated he saved 75 men. He thought the number was much much higher; but, said - 75 is a fine. He didn't care. A very humble and quiet man. Rest in peace Mr. Doss.
I heard that he was extremely humble concerning his heroics and that he said he saved around 50 or so guys, whilst his comrads insisted that he saved at least 100 or even more, so for the movie, they kinda settled in the middle
I dunno man, he signed up to go to a war yet never wanted to use a gun... Boy's cornbread just wasn't done right in some places, though I still respect we he did in the field.
The crazy thing is that the movie undersell all the crazy heroic things Doss did, and how many live he actually saved, they thought nobody would believe it
Thats crazy, bc Forrest Gump was a classic and he does alot of unbelievable things for someone that had a disability, and he wasn't even a real person but ive met people that thought he was real or it was based on a true story.
Movie makers have taken so many liberties with actually events that when an actual story like his presents itself they have to tone it down to make it believable. I read an article about him giving a speech and how his beliefs played apart in his life. In the audience sat an older Japanese man. The man come up after and told him how his books and testimony had led him to Christ. He then explained more saying he was also on that island as a sniper. He told him on three different times he had him in his sites and each time his gun either jamed or misfired. He went on to say that was the only time it ever happened. He was convinced that powers beyond the Japanese or American had intervened. How many of us would believe the real horrors of war if it shows up in a movie from Hollywood ?
Desmond Doss’s story is just too great, a movie isn’t enough, and can’t possibly show all that he did. Seriously one of my favorite movies. He’s a true hero!🇺🇸🦅
@@brettfolkerth7612 Well yeah, not an Oscar award winning performance but you can't deny it that the acting was very on point though, like, he nailed it so perfectly, showing the true real emotions that such scene should have, good voice tone and rhythm and lastly good posture as well while having tears in em eyes, really showing that he truly nailed this particular scene. And thus showing how such a great of an actor he truly is, not many could hold such a firm face and voice these dialogues out and showing it off as if it was very real, coming straight from his heart ♥️🤗
@@Lucian_Kingthis performance lost to Ben Affleck, well there is just more proof that the Academy Awards are a joke. Let me guess it was for some stupid woke movie
Hacksaw Ridge was one of the most memorable movie I have ever watched it shows true determination and courage this is the true meaning of being a human saving lives instead of taking them
@@ashtonrooks7899 I believe the JAG prosecutor prosecuted perfectly. He did disobey an order and the defendant agreed on disobeying. It’s just that the court did not expect this legendary rebuttal. In the end, he got what he wanted. And the military was better for it.
@@mikefranks4528except the JAG officer asked the wrong question. Because the order itself was illegal, and THAT'S what matters. ONLY AFTER the factof determining that the order was legal does it matter whether it was obeyed or not. An illegal order actually REQUIRES you to disobey it. And the order itself (in this case) was 100% illegal and both the original officer and the prosecutor (and the judge) 100% should have known this. CO status was codified into the UCMJ over two decades before this, and had existed in US law for over a century before.
@@SegularRpork tbf to the true war heroes, you can't just call anyone in the military a hero. Same dumb shit like saying "everyone is a winner", well no cos now you downplaying the shit they went thru to win. Many go to military purely as a backup plan. The odds someone goes in the military to truly serve bc they want to is very little. Js you discredit the true heroes calling them all heroes.
@@m235i_ttype7 just because someone goes to war because it was their backup plan doesn’t make them any less of a hero as those who urged to fight for their country. If they fight for their country, no matter the reason, they are a war hero. I don’t see you going out and risking your life every day, so stop discrediting them. Sure, some may be more heroic than others, but they are still all heroes, the ones who live and the ones who die, the lot of them.
You guys are arguing about what it takes to be a hero in the United state’s military, well, your a war hero if you join, instead of taking the easier life where you just take a desk job and then go home and do whatever you want everyday, those brave men and women choose to sign up, often times right out of highschool or collage, they are willing to put their bodies and lives on the line to defend the nation and our Allies, they can go months to years without seeing their families or their wife’s and kids, if they get deployed into combat situations there’s a chance that they get seriously wounded and die, or seriously injured and their life is never the same again. Sure a lot of soldiers in the military are back up plans, or work on the base and some may never even get deployed, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t helping protect the country. Sure other soldiers are more heroic then others, but if you are in any branch of the military, regardless of whether or not you get deployed or ever see actual combat, whether you ever get injured or not, your still a hero, more of a hero then anyone else not serving besides first responders. Don’t discredit the fine men and women that are the reason we can live so comfortably and have the freedom and rights we have now.
The interview of Doss in his late years is phenomenal. "Lord, let me get one more"...."one more"...."one more". Again and again and again...day, night, surrounded, completely alone, starving, barely awake, hands literally raw from raising and lowering a rope. Not once trip up to the ridge but twice. He was literally a protected man.
"With the world so set on tearing itself apart, it doesn't seem like such a bad thing to me to wanna put a little bit of it back together." THAT! Is a true hero! It just makes me wanna fucking cry!
You ask me, he's a warrior all the same. No difference between his warrior spirit and that of a gun wielding soldier. They are both fighting with everything they have to achieve what they believe.
Desmond Doss is one of my favorite world war 2 hero’s to learn about and talk about, he served as combat medic during the height of WW2 in the fight against the Japanese empire. He served in multiple battles but the one the movie covers is the battle of hacksaw ridge on the island of Okinawa. That day Desmond Doss saved as estimated 75 lives, the exact number is unknown as Desmond Doss claims he only saved 50 men that day after his unit had fallen back to safety. Desmond Doss continued to save lives on his own carrying them back one by one, each time saying, “Lord, let me save one more.” By the end of it the military claimed he saved 100 men that day while he claims only 50 so estimate was put somewhere in the middle at 75, including 2 Japanese soldiers. After he was back with his unit they made another push where Desmond was injured by grenade shrapnel after attempting to kick a grenade away, (yeah that kick was historically accurate in the movie) and after receiving a sniper round to his arm, for his bravery on the frontlines he was rewarded the Medal of Honor and a Purple Heart. He trusted God and saved many lives during his service. And he’s not once had to pick up a weapon.
The balls on this man is something amazing. Not many people would have the fortitude to risk their life to save so many soldiers. As a veteran I do not want to serve with him. many I talk to share that sentiment. It comes down to trusting the man next to you to protect you with every thing they have. This man would not shot a Japanese solider to save my life. I would rather take my chances with a man who will shoot the enemy then someone will run into enemy fire to pull me out. Thats the code of the fox hole. For the guy next to you. To come home alive.
@@pfc_churchyou clearly don't understand his message. He doesn't want to take life, he wants to save it. Killing people is okay only in war right? Maybe it says more about you
@firewall56 i understood it. U dont understand me. when you in the shit none of that matters. You do whatever it takes to come home. If that is something you dont understand its ok. Not everyone can be in a foxhole. I will do whatever it takes for me and my brothers to come home. He wont. You right that says enough there.
Doss is the greatest medal of honor recipient of all time! They had a tone back some of the things he did in the movie because they thought people wouldn't believe it, it was just too unbelievable.
Yet they added in all that horseshite where full bird colonels tried to have him discharged over his religion. Where his commanding officer made him miss his wedding. Where the brass was ready to court martial and imprison a field medic who volunteered. Yeah, none of that crap happened! That was all typical tripe outta Hollywood. Desmond Doss caught crap from other recruits, but was never officially reprimanded because his ethics were based on religion. He *_was_* allowed to forego weapons training. He was *_never_* forced to handle and discharge a weapon. He was even allowed a pass to attend Saturday services. He was accomodated because, as impressive as his story is, he was not the first nor even the thousandth soldier who wanted to serve without killing his fellow man. Perhaps they should have given time to the other incredible deeds he accomplished.
That's what I'd heard too - love this movie and Mel Gibson, both as an actor, director and truth teller. Not afraid to call out the Hollywood big wigs which is why they spend so much time and effort trying to discredit him. Top man.
He came to the, Pathfinder International Camporee and met the kids in 99 and again 2004. I do remember. It was such an opportunity to meet this man. He is surely missed.
Learning about Doss literally changed my life. I used to be selfish and destructive I didnt even value my own life. When I learned of Doss how he loved and save the souls of others. It humbled me and gave me a path to follow. I may not be a perfect soul but I will try until I cant Id volunteer to help how ever I can. So I thank this man for saving my soul and I hope he saved more.
To be honest you can be incredibly proud of yourself in my opinion. To acknowledge your own flaws like that and make the decision to better yourself takes an incredible amount of strength, wisdom and courage, that most people are simply never able to achieve to this extend. I'm glad to hear it's been life changing for you and i genuinely hope it brings you all the peace, happiness and joy in the world that you deserve. Bless you🙏🏽
"With the world so set on tearing itself apart, it doesn't seem like such a bad thing to me to want to put a little bit of it back together." My all time favorite quote from anything ever. So beautiful. Shows how much he truly loves his country.
I named my second son after him. Desmond was such an inspiring and incredible man who was full of conviction. If everyone were like him our world sure would be different today.
Better Spidey than the first one, but Tom Holland was somehow even better than the first two because he managed to combine the good parts of the first two - and while Tobey was 26 and Andrew was 28 in their first Spider-Man movies, Tom Holland was 18 when he first appeared in Captain America: Civil War - much more believable to be in High-School when you are actually at that age.
my wife could care less about war movies but i made her watch this one, and it really impacted her, she couldnt stop talking about it for days and days, she told everyone she knew to go watch it. great movie. this scene was powerful.
I see what you're saying but my son died after serving and he told me his feelings, he was broken and his heart stopped. It wasn't suicide or anything like that, it was someone else, a sniper killed his Sgt and my son came home to family but he said the sniper had a family too. I was told after my son died there were 3 snipers trained in Iraq before we got there. His Sgt was standing beside him. That woman who was shot because of Trump had an easy death and you can hate me but she had an easy death and that eased me because my sons Sgt was shot the same way, in the neck, but my son was afraid he would go to jail for shooting the sniper but his brother's in arms stood up for him. I'm sure this movie is beautiful but my heart is broken. My son will be in the line to Heaven in front of me but I miss him. Don't ever wonder why I hate Trump, he is a coward. He should be in prison, actually he should have the death penalty because that's what he should have for treason. Why are all of you afraid of not giving Trump the right punishment? The last traitors, the husband and wife were put to death as they should have been. Trump should be put to death or our country will never heal.
As a veteran I sit here texting with tears running down my cheek this was a great acting moment but most importantly I serve with a man during Vietnam who died saving the life's of his enemy his moral conviction to serve is the greatest sacrifice any human can make and I remember him and honor him today
The speech made me cry because some of my relatives were Adventist and and were treated very badly because they didn’t want to carry weapon while serving as Medics so this really touched me because they were called cowards because they didn’t want shoot anyone just save as possible including the enemy and they were almost shot them selves for trying to save everyone but one of the Germans my Great Grandfather‘a saved warned everyone that they were going to be bombed because he he heard a radio transmission and they were able everyone in time before they were bombed! Sometimes kindness has rewards and being brutal in every situation is a self fulfilling prophecy!
His morals and principal's is so intact that he gave them one hell of a life lesson to remember for the rest of their life. His bravery is so unpresidented for what he believes in. Who believe he deserves a few medals of honor for his bravery, heroism, and humanity for what he believes in.
There is a documentary on Desmond Doss called "Conscientious Objector" and is a truly remarkable story from the man himself. He was truly a humble godly man. They did awesome job with his story in Hollywood.
Not only did he save countless fellow soldiers but he was also tending to enemy soldiers protecting every life he could. I’m sure somewhere overseas there is a family that is there because of his humanity. Not only a hero to our side.
The thing is, the attitude that this young man displays was indeed one that was held my many young men of his generation. Whatever the motivations of WW2, it is no exaggeration to say that the generation of men who fought it were of a far, far higher quality than those who came later.
Desmond Doss, a personal hero to me. That man inspired me to be a better soldier and a better person. I mean i'm not crazy enough to even attempt half the shit he did but I'm willing to stand up and be counted.
I wish I could've at least tried to follow in this guy's footsteps. All of my family is in medicine anyways so I already wanted to be a combat medic but this movie and what I learned about that legend of a man, hell, that made me wanna do it even more. Unfortunately though, I'm barred from service because I had to see a psychologist for more than 6 months even though I didn't want to. Granted it helped a lot since I had the shit constantly beat out of me as a kid and saw some pretty awful shit but nonetheless, I'm still pissed about it.
@@svefnhnuturthorgeirsson You might not be able to join as an enlisted but if you've earned a medical degree and have a practice, you can still earn a commission. But you'll never be able to serve as field medic like he did.
@@dellytancyl524 I suppose so, yeah. Granted I'm only 19 at the moment so that's a ways away. I'm just pissed because I always wanted to be in the Navy ever since I was a kid but that just kinda got robbed from me 😂 the respect for vets and the brotherhood amongst them has always been appealing to me. But anyways, that's enough self-pity for one day 🤣 thanks for your service, man, semper fortis
I saw this movie. And when I heard that speech, I thought, "The man this movie is based on has to be one of if not the bravest man ever to want to go into harm's way UNARMED to save lives". It takes a special kind if person - man or woman - to take such a brave stance.
because it's not politically correct and Mel Gibson had a role in bringing the movie into reality. The hero is a man who sticks to his values and refused to compromise them.
Because it portrayed men as masculine, admirable, and heroic. Because it was a movie about white, heterosexual males mostly. Doesn’t check the right boxes
Could not say it any better or with more sincerity and feeling and humility. This actor, I believe, caught the true essence of Pvt. DOSS and I believe Pvt. DOSS carried the spirit of our American HEROS. ❤
His chest is full of medals including the most Prestigious... The MEDAL OF HONOR... There is over a hundred soldiers this man saved personally... THESE SOLDIERS ARE FAR AND FEW BETWEEN.
My dad was a marine for 8 years he’s a retired disable veteran and idk how he got through the stuff he had to go through I could never.He tells me all his stories and everything he had to do and ain’t no way I could do it.😭
My grandfather did two tours in Korea. He would talk about almost everything on his first tour. Not in detail, but he would talk about it. He wouldn't ever talk about anything that happened the second tour. Except that is was the closest thing to hell that the world has ever known.
This hit home with me. I was a medic in the Air Force from 71-80. The last years of the conflict in Vietnam were largely ignored but no less brutal. If you ask, most medics won’t talk about it but have an aching, hollow spot that nags them about those they couldn’t save.
This is a perfect example of how someone who was allowed to feel safe and secure at a very early life. Grew up to be somebody who was whole from the start without compromise. He lived his conviction and served his country.
It’s better to be a warrior in a garden than a gardener in a war. Bravery like this very rare in civilian life. As a veteran of Iraq and Afghanistan I call say whole heartedly I was only ever scared of letting my brothers down. 🇬🇧 Mr Doss was a pillar of greatness. He transcended heroism and became something infinitely special.
I've never understood that quote. I mean wouldn't private Doss be considered the gardener in a war? A pacifist who chooses to not carry a gun is anything but a warrior, right?😅

I met him a couple times. If I remember correctly, his citation stated he saved 75 men. He thought the number was much much higher; but, said - 75 is a fine. He didn't care. A very humble and quiet man. Rest in peace Mr. Doss.
I heard that he was extremely humble concerning his heroics and that he said he saved around 50 or so guys, whilst his comrads insisted that he saved at least 100 or even more, so for the movie, they kinda settled in the middle
That’s so cool you met one of the world’s unsung heroes, it’s sad he’s unknown to most.
Surely you met him
He thought it was around 50, the other personnel in the scene said it was over 100. The military decided to average it at 75.
I feel it's more telling that as he was pulling them to safety, he wasn't counting, but was instead praying that he could save just one more.
Garfield is such a great actor He nailed the character and did this true story with honor.
There was even some tears in his eyes during the delivery.The guy nailed it

Thats crazy, bc Forrest Gump was a classic and he does alot of unbelievable things for someone that had a disability, and he wasn't even a real person but ive met people that thought he was real or it was based on a true story.
Movie makers have taken so many liberties with actually events that when an actual story like his presents itself they have to tone it down to make it believable. I read an article about him giving a speech and how his beliefs played apart in his life. In the audience sat an older Japanese man. The man come up after and told him how his books and testimony had led him to Christ. He then explained more saying he was also on that island as a sniper. He told him on three different times he had him in his sites and each time his gun either jamed or misfired. He went on to say that was the only time it ever happened. He was convinced that powers beyond the Japanese or American had intervened. How many of us would believe the real horrors of war if it shows up in a movie from Hollywood ?

Best rebuttal I ever heard in my entire life… sprinkled with humility and pure honesty. That’s what gave it strength.
To be fair the jag prosecutor had a pretty asinine set of lines. Not saying it didn't happen that way because sometimes attorneys are indeed asinine.
@@ashtonrooks7899 I believe the JAG prosecutor prosecuted perfectly. He did disobey an order and the defendant agreed on disobeying. It’s just that the court did not expect this legendary rebuttal. In the end, he got what he wanted. And the military was better for it.
@@mikefranks4528except the JAG officer asked the wrong question.
Because the order itself was illegal, and THAT'S what matters.
ONLY AFTER the factof determining that the order was legal does it matter whether it was obeyed or not.
An illegal order actually REQUIRES you to disobey it.
And the order itself (in this case) was 100% illegal and both the original officer and the prosecutor (and the judge) 100% should have known this. CO status was codified into the UCMJ over two decades before this, and had existed in US law for over a century before.

Same dumb shit like saying "everyone is a winner", well no cos now you downplaying the shit they went thru to win. Many go to military purely as a backup plan. The odds someone goes in the military to truly serve bc they want to is very little. Js you discredit the true heroes calling them all heroes.
@@m235i_ttype7 just because someone goes to war because it was their backup plan doesn’t make them any less of a hero as those who urged to fight for their country. If they fight for their country, no matter the reason, they are a war hero. I don’t see you going out and risking your life every day, so stop discrediting them. Sure, some may be more heroic than others, but they are still all heroes, the ones who live and the ones who die, the lot of them.
You guys are arguing about what it takes to be a hero in the United state’s military, well, your a war hero if you join, instead of taking the easier life where you just take a desk job and then go home and do whatever you want everyday, those brave men and women choose to sign up, often times right out of highschool or collage, they are willing to put their bodies and lives on the line to defend the nation and our Allies, they can go months to years without seeing their families or their wife’s and kids, if they get deployed into combat situations there’s a chance that they get seriously wounded and die, or seriously injured and their life is never the same again.
Sure a lot of soldiers in the military are back up plans, or work on the base and some may never even get deployed, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t helping protect the country.
Sure other soldiers are more heroic then others, but if you are in any branch of the military, regardless of whether or not you get deployed or ever see actual combat, whether you ever get injured or not, your still a hero, more of a hero then anyone else not serving besides first responders. Don’t discredit the fine men and women that are the reason we can live so comfortably and have the freedom and rights we have now.
The interview of Doss in his late years is phenomenal. "Lord, let me get one more"...."one more"...."one more". Again and again and again...day, night, surrounded, completely alone, starving, barely awake, hands literally raw from raising and lowering a rope. Not once trip up to the ridge but twice.

Desmond Doss is one of my favorite world war 2 hero’s to learn about and talk about, he served as combat medic during the height of WW2 in the fight against the Japanese empire. He served in multiple battles but the one the movie covers is the battle of hacksaw ridge on the island of Okinawa. That day Desmond Doss saved as estimated 75 lives, the exact number is unknown as Desmond Doss claims he only saved 50 men that day after his unit had fallen back to safety. Desmond Doss continued to save lives on his own carrying them back one by one, each time saying, “Lord, let me save one more.” By the end of it the military claimed he saved 100 men that day while he claims only 50 so estimate was put somewhere in the middle at 75, including 2 Japanese soldiers. After he was back with his unit they made another push where Desmond was injured by grenade shrapnel after attempting to kick a grenade away, (yeah that kick was historically accurate in the movie) and after receiving a sniper round to his arm, for his bravery on the frontlines he was rewarded the Medal of Honor and a Purple Heart. He trusted God and saved many lives during his service. And he’s not once had to pick up a weapon.
The balls on this man is something amazing. Not many people would have the fortitude to risk their life to save so many soldiers. As a veteran I do not want to serve with him. many I talk to share that sentiment.
It comes down to trusting the man next to you to protect you with every thing they have. This man would not shot a Japanese solider to save my life. I would rather take my chances with a man who will shoot the enemy then someone will run into enemy fire to pull me out. Thats the code of the fox hole. For the guy next to you. To come home alive.
@@pfc_churchwell said.

@@pfc_churchyou clearly don't understand his message. He doesn't want to take life, he wants to save it. Killing people is okay only in war right? Maybe it says more about you

Not everyone can be in a foxhole. I will do whatever it takes for me and my brothers to come home. He wont. You right that says enough there.
Doss is the greatest medal of honor recipient of all time!
They had a tone back some of the things he did in the movie because they thought people wouldn't believe it, it was just too unbelievable.
I would say Dan Daly. Only one I know of that was denied a 3rd because it would make it seem not that special of an accomplishment.
Yet they added in all that horseshite where full bird colonels tried to have him discharged over his religion. Where his commanding officer made him miss his wedding. Where the brass was ready to court martial and imprison a field medic who volunteered.
Yeah, none of that crap happened! That was all typical tripe outta Hollywood. Desmond Doss caught crap from other recruits, but was never officially reprimanded because his ethics were based on religion.
He *_was_* allowed to forego weapons training. He was *_never_* forced to handle and discharge a weapon. He was even allowed a pass to attend Saturday services. He was accomodated because, as impressive as his story is, he was not the first nor even the thousandth soldier who wanted to serve without killing his fellow man.
Perhaps they should have given time to the other incredible deeds he accomplished.
*to
That's what I'd heard too - love this movie and Mel Gibson, both as an actor, director and truth teller. Not afraid to call out the Hollywood big wigs which is why they spend so much time and effort trying to discredit him. Top man.
I agree with the sentiment, but don't forget Doris Miller.
He came to the, Pathfinder International Camporee and met the kids in 99 and again 2004. I do remember. It was such an opportunity to meet this man. He is surely missed.
Doss's story was truely inspirational.
May he rest In peace
This dude puts all his soul and heart into every thing he makes. Even in Spiderman. This is a true actor.
Learning about Doss literally changed my life. I used to be selfish and destructive I didnt even value my own life. When I learned of Doss how he loved and save the souls of others. It humbled me and gave me a path to follow. I may not be a perfect soul but I will try until I cant Id volunteer to help how ever I can. So I thank this man for saving my soul and I hope he saved more.
To be honest you can be incredibly proud of yourself in my opinion. To acknowledge your own flaws like that and make the decision to better yourself takes an incredible amount of strength, wisdom and courage, that most people are simply never able to achieve to this extend.
I'm glad to hear it's been life changing for you and i genuinely hope it brings you all the peace, happiness and joy in the world that you deserve.

Better Spidey than the first one, but Tom Holland was somehow even better than the first two because he managed to combine the good parts of the first two - and while Tobey was 26 and Andrew was 28 in their first Spider-Man movies, Tom Holland was 18 when he first appeared in Captain America: Civil War - much more believable to be in High-School when you are actually at that age.

I see what you're saying but my son died after serving and he told me his feelings, he was broken and his heart stopped. It wasn't suicide or anything like that, it was someone else, a sniper killed his Sgt and my son came home to family but he said the sniper had a family too. I was told after my son died there were 3 snipers trained in Iraq before we got there. His Sgt was standing beside him. That woman who was shot because of Trump had an easy death and you can hate me but she had an easy death and that eased me because my sons Sgt was shot the same way, in the neck, but my son was afraid he would go to jail for shooting the sniper but his brother's in arms stood up for him. I'm sure this movie is beautiful but my heart is broken. My son will be in the line to Heaven in front of me but I miss him. Don't ever wonder why I hate Trump, he is a coward. He should be in prison, actually he should have the death penalty because that's what he should have for treason. Why are all of you afraid of not giving Trump the right punishment?

The thing is, the attitude that this young man displays was indeed one that was held my many young men of his generation. Whatever the motivations of WW2, it is no exaggeration to say that the generation of men who fought it were of a far, far higher quality than those who came later.

Why in the actual fuck did Garfield NOT get an oscar and all the other awards for this?
Because the oscars are a joke.
because it's not politically correct and Mel Gibson had a role in bringing the movie into reality. The hero is a man who sticks to his values and refused to compromise them.

My dad was a marine for 8 years he’s a retired disable veteran and idk how he got through the stuff he had to go through I could never.He tells me all his stories and everything he had to do and ain’t no way I could do it.😭
All the people ive kniwn who were ex military, dont say anything.
That's why they call them the greatest generation!
You could do it. It would just take a lot for you to get ready.
You can do it, you are his blood!
My grandfather did two tours in Korea. He would talk about almost everything on his first tour. Not in detail, but he would talk about it. He wouldn't ever talk about anything that happened the second tour. Except that is was the closest thing to hell that the world has ever known.
This hit home with me. I was a medic in the Air Force from 71-80. The last years of the conflict in Vietnam were largely ignored but no less brutal. If you ask, most medics won’t talk about it but have an aching, hollow spot that nags them about those they couldn’t save.
This movie was based on a true story. I usually do t line war movies , but this movie I have watched over and over again!!! Excellent movie!!!!
This is a perfect example of how someone who was allowed to feel safe and secure at a very early life. Grew up to be somebody who was whole from the start without compromise.
He lived his conviction and served his country.
Didn't Doss grow up in an abusive home?
His father abused him and his mother until his teenage when he almost killed his father know the topic before speaking
It's crazy to me, How good of an actor he truly is. Leaves me speechless every time.
It’s better to be a warrior in a garden than a gardener in a war.
Bravery like this very rare in civilian life. As a veteran of Iraq and Afghanistan I call say whole heartedly I was only ever scared of letting my brothers down. 🇬🇧
Mr Doss was a pillar of greatness. He transcended heroism and became something infinitely special.
Beautiful sentiment. ❤ Thank you for your service.
I've never understood that quote. I mean wouldn't private Doss be considered the gardener in a war? A pacifist who chooses to not carry a gun is anything but a warrior, right?😅
@@eggbertmcflubermuffin9550 still has a warriors mentality. He’s right there in the middle of the shit getting his hands dirty. Not hiding in the back scared
And how is the PTDS going? Any addiction or is everything still just numb?? I wish USA was actually a garden, to me is the 3rd world. Maybe you finally get a civil war, and we can send NATO troops to "help" you XD
Funny things is he WAS a Gardener in a War. And it was better. Being a Warrior isn't the only way to be fearless. This is coming from a Infantryman. I respect this Gardener.
Sometimes I wish Andrew was still Spider-Man, then I remember how diverse his acting is and I’m glad he’s not tied down
If I had a penny for everytime a Spiderman actor went on to brilliantly portray the main character in a war movie, I would have two pennies, which isn’t a lot but its weird it happened twice.

What’s the other movie?
@@NoneHandle2023 I think it's called Brothers. Tobey Maguire plays a soldier who was assumed dead, and then comes back to find out his brother and his wife are basically dating and his kids hate him
@@CoRLex-jh5vxI rember the tralior , I need to see it .
@@KnOnHeavensDoor it's good, definitely a tough watch emotionally though
