It might be the worst war movie I've ever seen and it's getting nothing but praise. I feel like the whole world is playing a joke on me. I'd type out all the reasons why I hate it if I wasn't on mobile.

mel really likes burning bodies flying through the screen for some reason

I watched it last night. It was the most over dramaticized and hollywood-ized war film I ever saw. Didn't like it. Hugo Weaving was good as always.

It took way too many ques from Full Metal Jacket and Saving Private Ryan in particular.

I dare you to

Was it cheesier than Codetalkers? Because that's my current bar for "goofiest war movie ever."

It's one of the best films of the year but still not a great war film.

>mfw Vince Vaughn

He's also obsessed with asians and their tunnels.

>a bloo bloo bloo imma scared to shoot anyone sarge, i need a safe space
Of course millennials eat this shit up

Saw it last night.
Not really good by any means.

> US troops charging headlong into the Japs like some medieval-tier battle instead of remaining in position and dishing out overarching fields of fire to cut them down.

> Flaming bodies ragdolling through the air like some bugged-out EA game

> Using half a corpse as a meat-shield while hip-shooting a fucking BAR and hitting 4 Japs effortlessly.

How the FUCK do military technical advisors let them get away with doing this retarded shit? what the FUCK.

>he thinks the point of the movie was the actual act of him refusing to kill people

80% of it was cliched nonsense and the other 20% is really not enough to make the film stand on its own

No fucking clue why it's getting so much praise

>it's a white boy war propaganda movie

here's your answer

HAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAAHHAAHAHAH

Someone post the webms.

JUST

It really doesn't help that the guy looks scrawny as fuck too.

It wasn't good, it was alright, 6/10

this desu

Go away Lena Dunham before I post that webm again, you disgusting pig

>if I wasn't on mobile
Excuses excuses...

>tfw stupid dumb american gets a powerup halfway through the battle and wipes out your entire clan

>i need a safe space
>implying
He stayed behind after other amerifags ran off and saved a shit ton of them and some japs. He just didn't believe in personally killing them.

Shit's fucking epic, who are the cucks here who says this shit looks bad? Hollywood needs more war movies like this instead of PC faggot shit

if you're so concerned with realism go watch WWII documentaries you autist

this

> that medic guy carrying all the bodies while the Japs are shooting him. LMAO. He wouldn't be able to down them with that fucking rope anyways.

Japs would have cut that ladder too

...

Why bother putting this in then, or are you just gonna wave this argument away with
>lol trusting movies when they say true story

>The best war film in years.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

HA

>Hollywood needs more unintentionally hilarious, over the top war films that are based on true events

No

Please, Lord. Let me get just one more

*air horns*

He didn't want to kill anybody, but kicked grenade right back to the thrower.

>Not posting the superior version

It was average at best. It's very holywoodian which is kinda shit.

he wanted to save people

Why was this guy acting like a corpse, only to spring up and scream when someone touches him? Isn't that the exact opposite of what you want to do when you play dead?

He refused to hold a rifle because he didn't want to kill anyone

I really don't understand it, what the fuck were they thinking.

>climax of film
>is a montage with no tension

Nothing actually happens in this film. The only meaningful conflict is the court scene, but that's brushed off because Hugo Weaving gets a letter that says that the scriptwriters didn't want to write an actual court scene where they delve deeper into Dawes' beliefs.

guys passed out, unaware of his surroundings, guy leans on him, perhaps his wound causing intense pain that shocks him awake and screams

beyond all the ridiculous combat the editing and pacing of the movie was very strange. so much time is spent on his childhood and then the trial, then all of a sudden we're thrown into everyone on okinowa immediately heading into battle. the very first battle scene builds to a high point of intensity and then abruptly cuts off. the ending feels cut short as well. why were there no scenes of him returning home considering how much time they spent on his family? mostly I just wanted to see more of Hugo Weaving

Naa you're just a pooper is all

He didn't want to kill anyone, but he wrestled that one Jap to the ground, letting his squad mate shoot the Jap.

But that's what made it so... Fun...

for the same reason that when you tell a true story to a friend you embelish it and try to make entertaining

nobody takes movies as 100% factual, unless they're retarded

right and also became a medic to help out, this grenade is going to harm many people and he tries to mitigate the damage, injuring himself. He actually did it in real life

Oohhh no no no no

>mel gibson called BvS shit
>HR was possibly even worse

jesus christ, i don't know how i forgot this happened

Zach pls

You either make an accurate war film (Iwo Jima), or you make an embellished, borderline propaganda film (Pearl Harbor). You don't get to have both

I see you Mel

Wanna take this outside?

Did you forget the part about him batting and kicking away grenades in real life as well?

>fit and has dad strength
should've just made a movie about him fighting niggers in LA

No I didn't read a biography on the guy before I saw the movie, and neither do I care

that might be because your a melting snowflake

Are the Japs portrayed as subhuman, bloodthirsty animals? Mel has a hardon for "evil culture versus righteous culture".

>shooting at a surrounded group
Can you imagine the friendly fire on that?

It was about his deeds in the battle. Not about his personal life.
Thats why its more important to setup what he is and where he is coming for to elevate the importance of the doing. It was already 2h 30min in when it ended.

I think this movie is the perfect pleb filter, the people who hate it hang on to trivial things and try to pull the context (they dont understand) down from surface level.

Thats when you know a film is well made.

Supposedly a lot of the stuff actually happened and they actually had to leave stuff out because it was too ridiculous for an audience to believe.

>people who hate it hang on to trivial things

Ok buddy

>that wouldn't have happened
>actually happened
Lol

Because muh feelings are more important than muh details. Artistic license and the like.

This is a picture of the Maeda Escarpment (apparently with Doss himself standing at the top). So no, it didn't actually happen like it did in the film.

why did they make it like 5 times bigger?

When they first got to the ridge it was fucking terrifying. The way that cliff looked, the smoke, the navy bombardment, the ground littered with minced meat. It was a fucking nightmare.

This scene would've been great in an Evil Dead movie, but not in a serious "based on true events" film.

for this effect

I know this happened in real life but I can't get behind this guy's attitude to morality. So killing someone is against his beliefs but accessory to those actions is okay? Is it actually this easy to trick god?

>tfw you trick the platoon into doing your killing for you and trick God with his absolute objectivity
heh, nothin personnel

You dont understand it.
Thats okay.
We watch muslims do their stuff in middle east, live their way of life. Their wifes cover their hair and its not seen as bad thing to fuck a boy.
Its about belief, you cant rationalize it. It just is.

That's idiotic.

isn't there a case to be made for making the most out of a shitty situation?

youtube.com/watch?v=hasW5EECmvE

Kermode says it best, bits of it are like something out of Tropic Thunder

Was a good one definitely, glad I saw it in theaters.

The whole time I was like "Please God, give me the strength to eat one more tendie!"

We humans are not rational.
You could argue that his past experiences with violence was the main cause of his pacisfism, but in the end we never know.

I think she says in the movie that's he's aware of all this but he's too dumb to work it all out so he just compromises. His desire to help the dudes fighting for his country is as big as his conviction to never kill so this compromise is the best he could think of.

>We humans are not rational.
retards aren't humans.

There's a scene and a few lines that indicates he was healing both sides, murricans and Japs.
really he's there to help people not fight a side?

Are you retarded?

...

Are you?

I agree and disagree with him.
There was tone of cheesyness, but i think calling it parody is a bit overstatement.

Best movie of 2016 tho

The shittest opinion in years.

Last third ruined it

Just got back from theaters after seeing this movie and got here on Sup Forums to see if there was a thread about it.

Honestly, it felt like a made-for-tv drama to me. It was obvious and by the book. So uninspired. Weaving was great though. I loved how brutal the war was as well. I really felt the dread and panic of that place. Can't say I liked Garfield though. He was a bit off.

That was a meh movie. It was okay. A cliché biopic that could have been made for tv save for the budget. I don't regret watching it but could have used my money for better things. The story was definitely beautiful though.

No kidding, this movie suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuucked

People dissing this scene are fucking retarded, it was intense and scary as fuck

You're like an infant.

This actually happened, except Doss didn't leave on the stretcher, he crawled around the battlefield still trying to save people

>middle of ww2 battle
>safe space

Youre not very bright are you user?

That happened in real life, moron. As a matter of fact the movie only covers the Hacksaw Ridge battle. It never goes to Okinawa. If it did, then you'd have seen some real superhero shit being pulled off by Doss all the time.

>Intense and scary
>Literally just a jump scare

What are you an infant, little baby

who are you quoting new kid?

it was good but he should've done another groundbreaking film like Apocalypto. Everything you see in this movie we've seen a hundred times before.

Corpse aside, can you even shoot a BAR from the hip with one hand?

First half of the movie is pertty mediocre except for Hugo and Gardfield acting.

War moments are the fucking shit tho, fuck yeah.

yeah dude, that scene where the guy picks up half the corpse and with his other hand headshots like 20 japs, that is crazy shit, and it all actually happened

To be fair it's the Asians that are obsessed with tunnels. They like tunneling.
