Hacksaw Ridge [4K Ultra HD + Blu-ray + Digital]

Excellent movie for military vets. True story

I still stick to this review. I have watched it again and again and still feel the same as the first time I watched it and reviewed it. I loved this movie and I hate Army based movies. My Husband LOVES Army Based movies. So we decided to watch this one . I felt this movie would be a good one to watch because Mel Gibson did create Passion of the Christ and I loved that Movie and yes I am a Christian and have no problem telling that. Denying that would make me feel like I don't have faith in my Lord. But my husband just loves war movies. That said to the person that said the thing about this movie.... This movie doesn't have to have perfect reenactments as long as the #1 main part of the movie is about the person and what he was about. Which it showed,a man that believed in his purpose of standing up for his belief and the truth of the Lord. #The main people that was around the main character which was Desmond Doss was correct. It showed how those that should be there to support him weren't but then saw their faults afterwards. Then also it shows his strengths in combat even without a weapon. His weapons were ,The Lord,his own mind,his strength in being able to handle pushing on for a greater purpose than his own. The lives he saved when NO one else stayed to save them and gave up but he didn't. It showed his courage in even giving his own life by putting himself in danger ,over and over and over again. He never gave up and the Lord was there with him through it all.He asked the Lord for only one thing..."Just give me one more" Meaning one more life to save,one more ounce of strength to bring them to safety, One more day for another soldier to live. It showed me that" I can do all things through him who gives me strength"Philippians 4:13 Yes I pulled that card out. The Lord watches over you and me. He doesn't love one person more than another.Even Peter said, "I really am learning that God doesn't show partiality to one group of people over another" This movie portrays how the Lord works through us and also shows how we are to be so loyal to him in return to receive that asst or another word would be Love. Meaning show love and I will show you love. In scripture the Father God shows us by this verse and this one alone is the all meaning of life.... John 3:16 For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that everyone who believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life. This movie shows the Lord and is what the Lord wants us to see even if through a man like Mel Gibson. The Lord works in mysterious ways. Show passion and courage even under so many trials and he will reward you in heaven and on earth. Trust in him and believe so you can receive and be Blessed with the rewards that pour out for us from heaven. Yes movies are gory and violent. But even in the Bible it shows us life shouldn't be covered up just because you can't handle seeing a little blood. Life isn't easy and can bring the best of men or women to their knees. When Mel makes movies he doesn't hold back. He lets you see how it felt ,how it looked,he gave you a glimpse into that very moment and let you feel even by visual what it was truly like what it truly felt. You know you cringe and almost could feel that very blade moving through the layers of flesh or the bullet ripping the flesh. The hit of a man's pride even with a man being naked before many. It shows all that yes. So if you didn't like it? Then why did you watch it? You knew it would have added things that might not been in the man's real life. The real man was old and gray and now dead. So yes he would have to add something here and there. But honestly... in reality that added effect or moment is usually how it is in real life too. Be honest and think on that next time when deciding to do a review. I am not into gore and hate scary movies and I give this "reality check" movie and true thumbs up. Great movie ,has gore,has a believer of Christ in it,has will to survive ,Has strength,Loyalty,true heroism for his country and his fellow man,action,on the edge of your seat moments,understanding of what war really is without sugar coating it,LOVE. In it also respect of another human being. He even tried to save those that were trying to kill him. How can this movie be less than 5 stars? You couldn't do any better (towards the person that gave 1 star and a bad review). Suck it up buttercup. Even the best knots aren't tied up perfect like they should be to save your life. Sometimes it is the worst made knots. (watch the movie to understand that meaning. If I could give this movie more stars I would have given it 100%+ . That's all.. Now go buy the movie or rent it or whatever. Great movie you are missing out on if you don't.

I purchased this 4K Blu Ray with the hopes Hacksaw Ridge was a great war drama...up there with Saving Private Ryan, Platoon and Full Metal Jacket. I was not disappointed. The movie is a true story about Desmond Doss, played by Andrew Garfield. Doss enlisted in the army to be a medic during World War II. But for religious reasons, Doss refused to carry or use a gun. He wasn't an objector to the war, he simply wanted to help his country without killing. It truly is an amazing story that I was totally unaware of until I saw this movie. I won't give away the entire plot, but the story follows him from his youth through basic training to the battlefield. I researched Doss after watching the movie to see if this was another massive Hollywood exaggeration of a "true story." Best I could tell is most of what's depicted, as incredible and impossible as it may seem, IS TRUE. Garfield as Doss is excellent. He comes across as an "aw schucks" humble country boy. But underneath, Doss is an intelligent guy with incredible integrity. I can't say enough about how Garfield gets you to bond to Doss right off the bat...with I believe was his first scene in the church with his mother and her choir. Vince Vaughn is excellent as the drill Sergeant. He delivers a dramatic role with some of his humorous flair. Sam Worthington is another standout as the Captain who has to deal with a soldier who refuses to carry a gun. I generally have found Worthington's acting to be kind of bland in the past (especially in Avatar). But in this moving I thought he was great. Hugo Weaving also does a very nice job as Doss' alcoholic father. He helps deliver a couple of nice emotional scenes in the movie. The movie portrays the war (and war in general) realistically. I don't think director, Mel Gibson, is glorifying the violence or doing it for shock value. I think he expertly shows the randomness and extreme violence that takes place on the battlefield. The utter chaos as hundreds of men try to kill each other. Watching it, I felt saddened that this wasn't just a movie...this really happened. The movie has some choppy points when it tried to delve into exactly what caused Doss to be so adamant in his beliefs. But the overall movie will deliver an emotional viewing experience as you watch the story of this real heroes life.

Great movie to watch action packed good to know that it was based on real people

Good movie, thanks.

Well produced with great acting that really pulls you into the real life deeds of Desmond Doss that is fairly accurate with some events embellished or shifted around to make it more dramatic for a movie audience. Although there are real life moments that were omitted from the movie that would have been incredible such as the Japanese soldier whose rifle jammed multiple times when trying to fire at Doss. No doubt it was left out along with him getting wounded by a sniper not long after the grenade injury he suffers because the director (Mel Gibson) felt it would be hard to swallow for audiences. The only other gripe I have is the battle scenes which are quite a bit hollywood-esque. Men are packed shoulder to shoulder, and despite a lack of cover do not get shot, yet some get shot in the strangest circumstances. One character takes out Japanese riflemen in a very Rambo fashion too. Another character will spray and ten men go down, then for the next minute while everyone is shooting no one is going down. It's not something you'll notice though unless you're looking hard. Bodies go flying in an almost cartoonish manner a little too often, the shape and scale of the ridge seems to be be inconsistent. Not really Saving Private Ryan, Band of Brothers, or The Pacific levels of accuracy and basically a lot seems to adapt for dramatic impact that creates a different feeling compared to the cold chaos of the examples given. Still, it's a very compelling movie to watch.

日本では4K UHDの発売がなかったので、アメリカ版UHDを購入しました。 全てのシーンではないですが、ブルーレイより鮮やかに映るシーンも多々ありました。炎のシークエンスなどは4K UHDの恩恵を特に感じられます。戦闘シーンなどの空気感もより伝わってくるような気がしました。

Excelente película y calidad, viene el DVD y el Bluray

good film

great movie

O produto veio com o estojo quebrado, fiquei decepcionada com a entrega! Os cds por outro lado vieram sem riscos, não estavam soltos no estojo e rodaram bem no player! Mas uma pena o estojo ter vindo quebrado, pq é dificil de comprar aqui no Brasil.
