Top 20 Best War Movies Of All Time for Action Movies Lovers

Hacksaw Ridge

Hacksaw Ridge 2016 Movie Screencaps

The movie is based on the true-life story of a World War II American Army combat medic named Desmond Doss who was the first conscientious objector to receive the Medal of Honor for assisting, treating and carrying to safety dozens of his fellow soldiers.

The astonishing factor was that he did all that without firing a single shot and even refused to carry a weapon or kill anyone, though repeatedly exposing himself to heavy machine gun and artillery fire during the Battle of Okinawa.

It is here in this key battle that Doss was recognized as a true hero for his country as he managed to rescue the lives of 75 soldiers wounded in the battle. The movie shows his upbringing and how this has shaped his religious views and beliefs.

It gives a strong message that even during war one can be kind and compassionate in terms of humanity and that in a war there is no good side or bad side but there is suffering at both sides.

Andrew Garfield puts up a fine performance as the army medic Desmond Doss, under the brilliant direction of Mel Gibson. The relentless of the sequences is admirable from Gibson and they are wonderfully shot by Simon Duggan. The different aspects of World War II have been brought up beautifully in each frame.
