Waiting for a solid rip.

No way I'm going to see this movie with normies in theatres

It was mostly empy last night, guess I got lucky. Fucking bomb movie, man. Can't wait for the rip to rewatch it

Guess I should have gone to Sup Forums with that shit since there wasn't a single black guy to be seen

Didnt they fight seperate from white units in ww2?

Anyone else feel nauseous as fuck during the first battle scene?

The absolute madman did it again

Saw it last week. Excellent movie my man. Really fucking tugged at my feels in the end with the tribute to Doss and the interviews by his peers.

A guy who refused to commit violence in the middle of the most violent acts that men can commit against each other.

They did, yes. If it came from Hollywood it would have featured a black dude anyway. It's all stupid

Man, I was fucking relieved when the first firefight stopped and he got a comfy moment in a hole at night. It was so intense, that change of pace was perfect....until the fuckin green flare

>watching film, 30-40 mins of corny cinema
>suddenly in pacific, ain't no kissing no more
>tense as fuck pre battle scene
>that dude starts screaming and then his face is blown the fuck off.

MFW

Checked, and yes. The first guy that got shit on really set the tone. Fuckers were getting destroyed left and right. Some people are bitching because they think the movie basked in the violence or over-indulged. I think it's necessary to communicate the brutality of war, especially a flaming knife fight like the Pacific Theater was in WWII.

Those poor bastards on the MG team that get wiped out, and Vince Vaughn's face after

I want to see it again, in case I missed anything during the battle scenes.

The only thing that kind of upset my /k/-autism were the 16" HE shells making gas fireballs. I was hoping Mel would get violent concussions right.

10/10 Warkino

Yeah, one thing the movie absolutely nails is how absolutely chaotic and hectic the battle scenes are, it's a bunch of men screaming and shooting and you can barely tell what the fuck is happening
Like all Men Gibson, movies it's incredibly visceral, which works in tandem with the themes when you see Doss run around trying to drag as many people back as he can

The huge change of tone halfway through is absolutely kino. No build up, just change. Any other movies do this?

FORGIVEN

>it's incredibly visceral, which works in tandem with the themes
yeah, Mel is 100% based with this. it hits you right in the gut the way its supposed to

>Not supporting Mel because you're scared of normies

>Am I the only one that really liked this movie?

Yes, in fact this is the first thread ever about HR. Thank you for not only being bold enough to share your unique opinion with us, but also for creating a thread about it. You are truly one of a kind!

Good film. I could have done without the love story desu senpai though

I never post here and didn't see a thread in the catalog. It didn't fit in my main boards, sorry to hurt your safe-space m8

>Gibson disposes of the “anti-war film” cliché with a full-throttle War Is Hell scenario. His scenes of carnage and savagery have nearly surreal intensity. The black-gray, smoke-and-flames imagery of rugged terrain, bodies charred and mutilated in deadly piles, plus head-banging artillery noises and painful human howls express fascination and revulsion. It is a conscientiously masculine vision — male aggression chastened by a sense of horror. Obviously, this is not documentary horror remembered from actual wartime experience. Rather, Gibson vents the ambivalence he probably acquired as a thinking macho (being both a star of violent ’80s and ’90s spectacles and a perceptive, ambitious artiste). Hacksaw Ridge is sensitized by a wounded man’s humility and a thinking man’s sincerity. Thus, the film’s vision of Hell on Earth has peculiar authority.

I'd give it a solid 9/10. It was my favorite movie this year. Mel really delivers, the writing, acting, effects, etc were all great. Probably Garfield's best performance to date as well.

Surprising a lot of kids in the theater watching. I sat next to a 8 year old girl who seemed completely unaffected by the constant, brutal war scenes.

No. It's beloved by everyone on Sup Forums who's actually seen. Probably is most most anons are like who get triggered by me and my gf having passionate sex during the movie.

Magnificent film and I do love that the battles were so immensely visceral in stark contrast to the uplifting character story of Doss that preceded. That when it all ties together in the 3rd act it was pure kino.

I was expecting alot from it because I was hoping for based Mel doing it again. I was not dissapointed. That was intense as fuck, probably my favorite this year.
I don't like Garfield, but as said it was his best performance so far.

pure pleb, but what do you mean by ''kino'' ?

cinema

That time has passed.

>normies
I was the only one under 60 at my showing a couple of days ago.

Best movie of 2016 imo. Aside from the score and Andrew Garfield, nobody talks about how good Hugo Weaving was. Straight up bullshit that he won't win a golden globe/academy award

I was disappointed in his performance. He's a great actor obviously but I thought he was dipping into caricature at certain points.

his character really bothered me because of that scene where he's at his friends grave and it says 1900-1918 and says he "grew up with those boys" bothered me because i mean if he was born in 1899 or 1900 he would have been only 35 in the prologue scene and 45 in the rest of the movie and i mean he's old as fuck, weaving that is, he has to be at least 60

really bothered me for the rest of the movie
they really couldn't find a 40-45 year old actor?

Thoughts the first 45 minutes or so were perfect. Once the war stuff starts I kind of started to lose interest. A big part of that is that the budget is so low that anything that's CG looks like complete shit. The final terrible green screen shot of Garfield being lowered down the ridge with religious music playing is particularly aggregious. Also didn't need all the stuff with the real Desmond at the end. That felt like some shit you'd see in a Disney Sports biopic.

7.5/10

Also Sam Worthington can act apparently? When did that happen?

Is it a good date movie? I'll go to support Mel anyway but not sure who with yet

>just saw this last night
>huh why aren't there threads up? Even though the movie has been out for weeks there are no current threads up right now. But I just saw it so shouldn't everyone that's not me be talking about it right now??

THE WORLD DOES NOT REVOLVE AROUND YOU, YOU MILLENNIAL FUCK

The movie was good but I couldn't relate to the main character in any way shape or form so he just got on my nerves.

Pretty sure I saw a black dude somewhere in the back at the battlefield, but it might've just been a dusty white dude.

Full Metal Jacket I guess, kind of

dusty white dude or nip. Mel Gibson went full on segregation

The sepuku scene was absolute kino. Gave me a feel.

Does the general public hate Mel as much as the jews want us to believe?

I am absolutely buttblasted that the score didnt get a golden globe nominee, what the fuck are these people deaf?

Garbage movie with about as much subtlety and depth to it as a pack of niggers. No wonder Sup Forums likes it because "MUH BASED MEL PURE KINO"

The only problem was the last like 15 minutes. Felt very rushed and unfinished and the slow-mo gernade kick was pretty lame.

Agree with this. I'd also add that in the first battle scene they made it look like it was just complete open warfare with nowhere to hide, but then after the fight Doss is able to sneak around and carry 70 odd soldiers back down the ridge. Not to mention he runs straight into the battlefield while it's being bombed by the Merican ships. just felt way too over the top in trying to push the hero/religious angle.

Pretty much this. I was hyped as fuck because it's directed by based Mel and it was exactly what I wanted.

MOTY 2017
Runner-up was Elle by Paul Verhoeven. I fear the day guys like Gibson and Verhoeven are dead and we only get cuck movies by the likes of Abrams and similar idiots.

no one on Sup Forums would like it if it had a different director

>complains about cuck films
>Elle is his second best film of the year

This is true.

If it had a different director it would have been an awful PG-13 movie.

Not true, I've only watched Braveheart and don't really follow Mel Gibson and I still think it's the best movie of 2016

And as usual people don't get Verhoeven's satire.

>I was only pretending

(You)

Nice reddit meme, cuckboy.

Autistic screeching

Are you being satirical right now? It's a good cop out, I must admit.

i saw this movie like a week after release and it was amazing. too bad its not doing to hot financially because its easily my favorite movie this year. even when i went only a week after release there were only 3 other people in the theater.

I don't even watch movies.

But what would you do now that your favorite satirical show MDE has been cancelled?

MLP reruns.

2nd best film of the year so far.

It's doing ok. It had a great start in China and it will sell really well once it's out on DVD/Blu-ray.
Even 13 Hours was huge once it left it's avergae theatre run.

i wouldve still liked it if it was the exact same film just billed with a different director. if a different person directed this movie though, it would either end with Doss leaving the church or dying from the jap grenade.

Why would a different director do that? Doss was a real person.

>Why would a different director do that?
Oh come on, it's not like the first time they changed true stories for many reasons. Just look at the recent The Imitation Game or Race.

the budget was $40 million according to NYT, and if we go by the rule of thumb that the advertising spends the same as the budget, that would be $80 million altogether. according to boxoffice mojo, the worldwide gross is just shy of $84 million. while its turning a profit, its not doing amazing like movie studios want them to be. it will probably sell a ton of blurays and will license on TV once they figure out how to edit some gore out to make it tv14, but right now its not too good.

Changing small details I get, but I'm pretty sure no director would kill a recent historical figure 50 years before he actually died.

Braveheart went the same route in the 90s:
underwhelming box office, huge on aftermarkets.

Yes, those are not great numbers (right now) but this isn't a studio movie which means they already sold the movie in many different countries (and already covered the budget and P&A). Also every country handles marketing different.

And you have to add to the WW total the recent China debut: it opened to $16M this weekend. They just love movies where Japs get killed.

I'm not being delusional, but this one is going to be big, sooner than later.

Go shitpost on Sup Forums, Mel.

Get raped by a pack of niggers.

I don't appreciate the glorification of war and anti national socialism

Blacks were on minesweeper patrol
not joking

In 10 years there will be movies where they were the ones storming the Normandy.

I've literally seen this in media.

Seeing this shit is depressing as fuck. Instead of creating new powerful stories some people just go the easy route and change shit for lazy reasons.

Shhh it's a movie, user. And Hugo was fantastic I don't care what that other faggot said
