Mel Gibson's Hacksaw Ridge is the inspirational true story of Desmond Doss (Andrew Garfield), who is a conscientious objector who saves 75 soldiers while never firing a shot during the war. He has won an Oscar nomination for the role, while the brutal scenes of the battles speak of the horrors of war. Audiences are able to relate themselves to Doss and his unwavering faith. It is often cited in 2024 as a symbol of nonviolent heroism, which provokes debates on conscientious objection in modern conflicts.
