![]() ![]() We do no need shedding of innocent blood in our soil. The delicate balance of racial harmony in our country and the need to getĬrooks, murderers, rapists, corrupters and racists behind bars i ndefinitely. Pastor, raping of Orang Asli rights and lands, more stringent checks on inflow of religious fanatics, rising daily cost of living, handout and bailout mentality, leakages in our national spendings by our Govt Departments and damning corruption that had eroded There is a need for concerted effort to locate the missing abducted Race among the people and have more peace in the world starting with ourĬountry. Truly need to understand the need to eradicate this prideful and nonsensical dominance Help lift up the gloomy spirits amidst stories of war, gloomy outlook of the world and imminent death in body, mind and soul as lifestyle spins out of control in tandem with a corrupt nation we lived in today. Amazing!Īll that is happening in our nation today. Man was as factual, true, real and honest as it was in the movie. Inspiring individual and my research had shown that the movie portrayal of this But here stood a man, PFCĭesmond Doss with that clear conviction in his heart, mind and soul. Of my own spiritual conviction and life as a whole. How many of usĬould be tempted to tear apart from that commandment? It sets me thinking too The sixth commandment of the tenĬommandments ring loud and clear “ Thou Shall Not Kill “. Ripped apart bodies under the cake of earth swimming and flowing with stream ofīlood oozing from the veins and arteries of the fallen. Most young people areĮager about going to war and serving their country but when the dust hadįinally had settled down, you see no winners except lifeless, contorted and To be necessary while others see the ugly side of it. Hit the nail hard on the need to have war in the first place. The pain of losing a friend, a relative, aįellow bretheren and fellow human beings from the other side of the fence. I could really relate to what message Mel Gibson was trying to sendĪcross – the simple horrors of war. Gory, gory scenes indeed but typical real ugly side Where mingled with crest fallen able and bloodied bodies of men as the soil at Limbs by swords, body shattering bomb blasts and so on. Parts, blood splattering head shots, bayonet stabbing of bodies, severance of Of war, bodies ripped apart into two by bullets, maggot filled corpses and body I could only attribute this to God's protection over this man's life! Even when Doss was shot, somehow, the sniper who usually aimed for headshot, somehow, misfired and wounded Doss at his arm. In one of my readings over the battles at Hacksaw Ridge, there was one particular reading which many of his fellow army buddies testified that it was not that Doss was not in the shooting range of the Japanese soldiers who were chasing him down at one time but somehow their guns just jammed and Doss was able to get away from their shooting sight/range. You know that it is God's hands of protection was upon his life and that's really a test of faith. Somehow, defying all logic and the comprehension of the human understanding, Doss survived it all. It was such a mind blowing decision on Doss part and to stick to it was like suicide enlistment and statement. No one in the right sane mind would enlist in the Army and not hold a rifle/gun to defend himself during the War. Understand him at that time, actually, thus, the bullying and the rough I was moved deeply and stand in empathy forĭoss insistence for being a conscientious objector. Movie's message is one of courage, integrity, and sticking to your convictions.Ĭame into perspective very nicely. The racist terms "Japs" and "Nips." Ultimately, though, the Adults smoke cigarettes and use language including: Seen (him shirtless, her clothed) on their wedding night.
