Oh no love a cinema viewing me. Are those two related ? "Only in the fact that they are both USA war films. Used to go to the cinema quite a lot with an ex back in the 80's % early 90's, but cinema popcorn & hot dogs are too expensive these days   | |||

"Really want to go and see this. This is Doss's actual Medal of honour citation "Citation: The President of the United States of America, in the name of Congress, takes pleasure in presenting the Medal of Honor to Private First Class Desmond Thomas Doss, United States Army, for conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity in action above and beyond the call of duty from April 29 – 21 May 1945, while serving with the Medical Detachment, 307th Infantry Regiment, 77th Infantry Division, in action at Urasoe Mura, Okinawa, Ryukyu Islands. Private First Class Doss was a company aid man when the 1st Battalion assaulted a jagged escarpment 400 feet high. As our troops gained the summit, a heavy concentration of artillery, mortar and machine gun fire crashed into them, inflicting approximately 75 casualties and driving the others back. Pfc. Doss refused to seek cover and remained in the fire-swept area with the many stricken, carrying all 75 casualties one-by-one to the edge of the escarpment and there lowering them on a rope-supported litter down the face of a cliff to friendly hands. On May 2, he exposed himself to heavy rifle and mortar fire in rescuing a wounded man 200 yards forward of the lines on the same escarpment; and 2 days later he treated 4 men who had been cut down while assaulting a strongly defended cave, advancing through a shower of grenades to within eight yards of enemy forces in a cave's mouth, where he dressed his comrades' wounds before making 4 separate trips under fire to evacuate them to safety. On May 5, he unhesitatingly braved enemy shelling and small arms fire to assist an artillery officer. He applied bandages, moved his patient to a spot that offered protection from small arms fire and, while artillery and mortar shells fell close by, painstakingly administered plasma. Later that day, when an American was severely wounded by fire from a cave, Pfc. Doss crawled to him where he had fallen 25 feet from the enemy position, rendered aid, and carried him 100 yards to safety while continually exposed to enemy fire. On May 21, in a night attack on high ground near Shuri, he remained in exposed territory while the rest of his company took cover, fearlessly risking the chance that he would be mistaken for an infiltrating Japanese and giving aid to the injured until he was himself seriously wounded in the legs by the explosion of a grenade. Rather than call another aid man from cover, he cared for his own injuries and waited 5 hours before litter bearers reached him and started carrying him to cover. The trio was caught in an enemy tank attack and Pfc. Doss, seeing a more critically wounded man nearby, crawled off the litter; and directed the bearers to give their first attention to the other man. Awaiting the litter bearers' return, he was again struck, by a sniper bullet while being carried off the field by a comrade, this time suffering a compound fracture of one arm. With magnificent fortitude he bound a rifle stock to his shattered arm as a splint and then crawled 300 yards over rough terrain to the aid station. Through his outstanding bravery and unflinching determination in the face of desperately dangerous conditions, Pfc. Doss saved the lives of many soldiers. His name became a symbol throughout the 77th Infantry Division for outstanding gallantry far above and beyond the call of duty." Absolutley incredible " You really really should. There's a section st the end where the real men explain scenes etc. Phenomenal | |||

"It sounds like an incredible true story and an exciting film. With a bit of luck the powers that be welded Mel Gibson's usual grasp of history to the floor, so that hopefully we don't have a World War 2 film that includes Napoleon and Genghis Khan." It's really is brilliant. He does the film justice. Really good ! It's stuck in my mind also ! | |||

"It is a great movie but thats what it is - a movie. Changed quite a lot of things from what happened in reality and a lot of the people as well. Ie his dad didn't assault his mum. He didn't end up in prison and miss his wedding plus many more I hate when movies do this. His story is amazing without the need to add extra drama and fake bs to it. " Yeah fact and fiction usually mess around a little bit but I liked the end where you saw the real peolle talking etc. Got to me that | |||

"It's a good story but the film started off a bit too Hollywood for me. I couldn't get into the characters at all as they were a bit unbelievable. I'm glad I watched it though. And isn't vince Vaughan the worst actor in the world ?" No That Jap in the ditch was the worse actor He suppose to be dead but he moved his arm  | |||

"Jesus Christ I love films And I love war films. Band of brothers made me shed a few tears! Still the best to show. The last episode was some emotional stuff! Mel does excellent films. I remember watching brave heart on my own on DVD for the first time. When he cried freedom I balled it!!!! First time since watership down when I was a kid. If this film is as good as saving private Ryan!!!! I'm off asap " I'd recommend you watch it! I really want disappointed and thought I would be! Didn't even realise was a Mel Gibson film till the credits ! | |||
