and decided not to bring it up. I felt it was a comic book version of the "horrors of war". Sure there was the severing of limbs, people getting torched by a flame throwers, but it didn't have the gritty reality of a finally produced war film. It may be that Gibson didn't want to make a statement as much as a biographical look at a true individual and his struggles and heroism.
Seems Gibson hired half or Australia's actors to be in this but it worked out. Vince Vaughan was characteristically funny--he can't help it.
The first barrcks scene showed a muscle geek walking around naked to impress everyone. Sure enough, at Fort Polk there was a fat ass who did the same thing afer supper mess. Thought he was going for a Section 8. Such things happen in the Army. (Ironically, our Drill Seargent never said a word to him.)
Yeah, it's worth going and you will appreciate the epilog with clips of the real Desmond Doss and some of the people he saved. Desmond was a one of a kind and deserved everything he got.
