Mel gibson's new film Hacksaw Ridge focuses on a seemingly trite heroic story, but it is based on real events. Because of Christian faith, heroic Dawes saved 75 lives overnight in the fire of World War II. Before that, almost no one thought he was a soldier. Because he refused to hold a gun, he was even beaten by other comrades.

In a battle, a large army was forced back by the deadly attack of the Japanese army, and artillery fire swept through the blackened land of hacksaw ridge. The US military chief tried every means to persuade his superiors to start the rescue.

Dawes was in the last line of defense to evacuate, and his friends began to get cold, followed by more and more intensive gunfire.

He thought about it carefully, and God said, don't give up on anyone. He began to pray to God, "Let me save another one." On the battlefield, there are blood and bodies everywhere. If you move, you may be blown to pieces. He searched for survivors alone.

Cowards and heroes are sometimes not so clearly defined, especially under the rough evaluation system. Dawes, who is usually too soft-hearted to fight back, will not hesitate to fight when he really needs to get hard, even braver than a soldier with a gun.

Some people say that his personality is like a "straight mother", and he usually looks inconspicuous and even fragile. When his man gets up, he can blind you in minutes.

Such people can actually carry out their beliefs with their own actions. The repression in the first half of the film is to leave him enough space to prove himself, so that others are willing to accept and embrace his beliefs and embrace him as a person.

The most touching episode of the whole film is that during the last attack, the chief asked them on the walkie-talkie why they didn't start yet, and the leader said calmly, "Wait a minute, Dawes is praying for us. 」

At this time, everyone stopped to listen to the confidence that this young man named Dawes conveyed to them. The firm belief in beauty is worthy of respect, and it also makes their hearts less heavy. At present, the gunfire and blood fog are very thick, but everyone's hands are closely connected.

The so-called American complex, with love, is rigid. With the soft support of love and affection, the protagonist can survive in tenacious risks and fight in death when he is in repeated danger.

The protagonist joined the army for the first time, unwilling to shoot people, misunderstood by his boss and excluded by his comrades. He opened the Bible given to him by his ex-girlfriend and carefully took out the photos. His girlfriend laughs like a flower, like a vine winding out of her palm and ending in her heart.

The second time I went to the battlefield, I hid in the trenches with my comrades at night. Seeing so many sudden deaths for the first time, normal people will have stress disorder, and he still habitually takes out the Bible on his chest, as if it were the only salvation in fear. Only when his comrades teased him and his girlfriend that it was a flower inserted in cow dung could he calm his anxiety with a smile.

By the third time, the war was coming to an end. He was hit by the aftermath of a Grenade and was forced to evacuate on a stretcher. At the critical moment, he was still worrying about the Bible, so his comrades came to send it to him. He holds the book in his heart, just like hugging the soft body of his beloved, and his mouth evokes a gentle arc.

With this detail, the war is over.

In the final documentary of the film, the World War II officer outside the film told the audience with dignity that sometimes people believe in him.

I don't think what he said is all religious beliefs.

In disaster, people will have a kind of power not to give up hope, and only love will be the pillar of this power.

When Dawes was imprisoned by the army, forcing him to shoot or go home or even go to jail, his girlfriend came to the brig, held his face and firmly said to him: I will love you no matter what.

What I like is that you stick to your own attitude. I don't want you to compromise for me and love.

I don't know why my eyes are a little moist when this sentence comes out in this era when I am used to binding everything with love.

Back to the beginning of the film, the girl is still learning about the day when he will join the army. It is simply intimidating and brave to ask him to propose directly without questioning or coercion.

Later Dawes went to prison, and the groom was absent from the wedding for no reason. We all thought the bride would be angry, just as Zhou Zhiruo was at the wedding when Zhang Wuji left. Even if she didn't turn on the spot in anger, she would be ashamed to break up afterwards.

But she didn't.

The priest said to her, you know sometimes, men shrink back.

She responded loudly: Yes, some men do, but he doesn't.

The second half of the timbre is sonorous and hits the floor, which makes people feel very handsome. On the one hand, the man is fighting for his faith and loneliness, on the other hand, his girlfriend is also resisting secular accusations for him.

In contrast, this kind of love is touching.

I really want to have the confidence to say to someone:

I love you no matter what.

This requires not only courage, but also time accumulation.

Zhang Jiajia said when he loves to eat fresh crayfish:

So do people. You need someone to accompany you from peak to trough, and you can have some real feelings in your hands, both like his Excellence and understand his cowardice. When the storm came, it wasn't Lao Yan who flew away, but she hugged each other and advanced and retreated together.

We are all ordinary people. Dawes in the story did not save 75 people in one night, but an ordinary unhealthy man who was teased by many girls.

Sometimes, what we love is not an excellent indicator, but a living person, who also has many joys and sorrows, many special tempers and many things to confess.

The key is whether you can overcome these shortcomings and really take care of yourself. You see his selfishness, laziness, short-sightedness, eagerness to keep warm, and many bad habits that cannot be changed. You know all this, and you don't want to find a better god to practice, but you still say that I love you.

This is the most beautiful love story in the world.
