'Hacksaw Ridge'(Hasta el último hombre)

Is a brutally effective, bristling idiosyncratic combat saga the true story of a man of peace caught up in
the inferno of World War II.

The film revs up its old-fashioned pulse when it lands at boot camp, where Desmond proves a
contradiction that no one there not his fellow soldiers, let alone the officers can begin to fathom. He’s
an eager, good-guy recruit who refuses to pick up a rifle even for target practice; they assume (wrongly)
that he must be a coward.

Desmond announces, from the outset, that he wants to be a medic. On the battlefront without a
weapon, Desmond could conceivably be placing his fellow soldiers in harm’s way. His desire is noble, but
it doesn’t fit in with Army regulations So he’s threatened with a court martial.

Desmond devises a way to save lives by tying a rope around the soldiers’ bodies and lowering them
down the vertical stone cliff that borders Hacksaw Ridge, and using that technique he rescues a great
many of them. Desmond Doss, who saved 75 men at Hacksaw Ridge, became the first conscientious
objector to receive the Medal of Honor.
