Musings:
Another one I should have written at once, never wait....
Ok, so I have no idea how much was true in the movie. Like some of the stuff at the end. But never mind.
So this guy joins the army but does not want to fight. I did not get it. Ok so you want to help others, but you do not want to touch a gun? You are on your way to a mega disaster. Just think of the first enemy soldier coming at you and you are all, ok I will die. But at least I saved someone else.
So he becomes a medic, people are cruel. All, you are a coward! Hey, back off, he just does not want to touch a gun.
I kept waiting for the fighting to start. It took a while, but then they finally got to Hacksaw Ridge. All Americans were awesome guys, all enemies were totally evil...yeah, wtf was up with that.
A good movie.
