Hacksaw Ridge : I know why this movie gets so much hate.

I know why this movie gets so much hate.

We're living in a time where it's popular to hate white people and their whole history. The reason this film gets so much hate is because it's incredibly awkward for social justice warriors to have to face the fact that:

1. In WW2, the Japanese (non-white people) committed some of the worst atrocities known to human history, every bit as bad as the Holocaust and the crimes of Genghis Khan. This is awkward for the SJW's because they like to pretend only white people ever did bad things.

2. The USA did the world a huge favour by stepping up and making huge sacrifices to end the horror that was Japanese imperialism. This is also awkward for SJW's because they like to pretend that America never did anything good.

And so, the SJW's find any excuse they can to insult this depiction of young American heroes sacrificing themselves by the thousand to save the world from the horrors of Japanese imperialism.

Yes that is me in a blonde wig. Don't pretend I don't look sexy af.

Re: I know why this movie gets so much hate.

Naw, I support "white people" for stopping the axis countries during WWII from taking over the world.
The reason this movie gets hate is because it's a bad movie. Mel has lost it, first half a cheesy PG chick flick. Then corny humor with Vaughn as the fat DI (no swearing in boot camp or the movie is allowed?) then horror movie like cgi battles. Maggots on brains, zombie like jump scares for kids.
This could have been much better this was a horrible tribute to the hero Doss

Re: I know why this movie gets so much hate.

Minimal CGI in battle scenes. Historically low for battle/action movies made in last 15 years.

Re: I know why this movie gets so much hate.

They could have used blood squibs rather than CGI, also the childish jump scares ruined any realism. Pick up a half torso and fire a never ending BAR?

Re: I know why this movie gets so much hate.

yeah, this ^^...and that is just one of the problems with it.

Re: I know why this movie gets so much hate.

I swear, Vaughn fired 300 rounds with his Thompson without reloading.

Re: I know why this movie gets so much hate.

Was it "Smithy" on the BAR, was it?

Re: I know why this movie gets so much hate.

This is just nitpicking.

Re: I know why this movie gets so much hate.

Still makes for an unrealitic watch.

Re: I know why this movie gets so much hate.

"Realism", but you wouldnt bat an eye if it had women and
Blacks in it. No, what upsets you is not the creative license, but that it portrays a hetero white conservative male unapoligetically as the protagonist, and doesnt kiss the ring by including a quick scene of a gay/black/female soldier with the protagonist signaling approval, nor is he redeemed by becoming atheist after seeing the horrors of reality.

What in the world are you talking about? Im critizizing the infinte clip on his Thompson rifle...

Have you seen Robocop? Many people don't know that it's actually a documentary.

Re: I know why this movie gets so much hate.

vaughn was NOT carrying a thompson...

Re: I know why this movie gets so much hate.

Oh, what was it?

Re: I know why this movie gets so much hate.

Grease gun. It was known to be with tank crews for its automatic rifle state and very compact design. Why in the world he was carrying it, I have no idea.

Re: I know why this movie gets so much hate.

Oh, thats awkward. I've actually shot with a Thompson once. Good times :) My mistake.

Re: I know why this movie gets so much hate.

No, they tell the story of Doss, because much of that is obviously nothing to do with the war or the actual battle phase of the war anyway, but they don't do much of a job of telling the story of Pacific islands war and Doss' piece of that.

Cheesy,. is right. a right cheeseburger, so far as that part goes.

Re: I know why this movie gets so much hate.

Huh? 86% on Rotten Tomatoes, 94% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes and has 8.4 on imdb.

So who hated it and why does anyone care?

Nobody sane hated this film, trust me.

The hate on this board is coming from about 3 or 4 people....The rest of us normal folk all loved it (or at least liked it)

Re: I know why this movie gets so much hate.

it's disappointing, in terms of we could use a decent Pacific War movie, and this is not it.

Re: I know why this movie gets so much hate.

This isn't a Pacific War film – it's about Doss.

Brevity is the soul of wit.

Re: I know why this movie gets so much hate.

Blond wig. Of course, now I recognise you @aethelheim . Haven't we met on Breitbart or Storm Front? I'm sure you are acquainted with those sites because your writing funking reeks of Nazism.

Re: I know why this movie gets so much hate.

You have absolutely no idea what Nazism is.

Yes that is me in a blonde wig. Don't pretend I don't look sexy af.

Sexy af? You look like Lamars new sex toy in your local County Jail.

Re: I know why this movie gets so much hate.

The hate is FAKE, created by Gibson haters.

Everyone i know liked it

Re: I know why this movie gets so much hate.

I don't hate Gibson (well he's a wife abuser and anti-Semitic, I'm not Jewish btw)
Apocalypto was great, does that mean all his movies are? Nope, Well half my friends like it half don't.
The ones that aren't really movie buffs like the cheese, the movie buff friends that watch movies from Kubrick, Coppola, Stone Scorsese, Croenberg, Peckinpah, Coen Bros, Leone, etc see the cheese.

Re: I know why this movie gets so much hate.

Very true. Gibson directs with all the subtlety of a sledgehammer to the foot. He should have watched Platoon or Full Metal Jacket a few times before starting HR.

Re: I know why this movie gets so much hate.

Well that's the problem he did, and tried to copy from every other great war movie, but he's just another rich actor with millions that thinks he's a director now.
PS, if you liked the comedy FMJ check out Ermey in Siege of Firebase Gloria. Platoon is still the best war movie period.

Re: I know why this movie gets so much hate.

Exactly. The "hate" for this film is mostly constructive. For example why didn't his brother has a scratch on his face when he was powerfully hit with a brick? Or the same about his knuckles after him hitting the iron door 20 times? Or why there were no splinters flying anywhere during the first bombing scene? Or why is the story of him meeting his wife so ebarrasing (and it was altered)? And many others.

The first part of the movie is an embarrasing melodrama and the second hours portrays a single battle scene.

The movies you've mentioned are great. Or simply compare this movie to Band of Brothers, which was a masterpiece.

Re: I know why this movie gets so much hate.

Ha, literally no one even touched upon the argument you tried to start.

Loser.

Close, but not really

Go to youtube, 9gag, Reddit anything really. If a material has anything to do with American doing something great, non-americans (mostly europeans and ironically, not the Germans) will bash it. Commenting on how Americans are stupid, war mongers etc. Ironically posted using whatever OS (android, MAC, iOS, Windows) that Americans made too. lol

A ship sank at the end of the movie Titanic!

Re: Close, but not really

USA commit war crimes on a daily basis. They're almost as bad as Russia. Their bloody childish retaliation for 9/11 killed over 300000 civilians so far. They absolutely *beep* up Middle East, endangered Europe, created ISIS, caused refugee crisis which left us with over 1 million refugees in Europe and USA aren't even fair enough to take care of more than 18000 refugees. Half of the nation was retarded enough to vote for reality tv douche Donald Trump for *beep*'s sake. It's the only advanced country which doesn't have a real basic health care and affordable education. the most of the country is *beep* religious even in 21th century.
Btw. Android OS is based on Linux kernel made by Linus Torvalds. I think he's from Finland. Some of the greatest American inventors and visionaries were the first generation immigrants or not Americans at all. Even Nikola Tesla was Serbian-American born in Austrian Empire...
I have a lot of reasonable American friends, I'm not saying that Americans are bad people in essence or something, it's the nation made out of people from all around the world after all, but this weird arrogant patriotism, nationalism and non-critical thinking seen in the USA is really schizophrenic and sometimes funny when observed by foreigners.

Re: Close, but not really

Muslims enslaved 100 million people over 1400 years.
Muslims killed 80 million Indians in India during the reign of the Mogul Empire.
What's your opinion of Muslims?

Re: I know why this movie gets so much hate.

It makes no difference now because the board is on its last legs but just for old times sake, I'll add your name to the long list of Ignoramus using acronyms like "SJW" because they are too stupid to come up with a proper insult for people they hate.

Re: I know why this movie gets so much hate.

Ummm who hates this movie ?

Re: I know why this movie gets so much hate.

People like you got this board closed, with your petty attempts to get attention for your uneducated opinions .

Re: I know why this movie gets so much hate.

A great thread!

Re: I know why this movie gets so much hate.

Uneducated opinion?? Look at the people attacking all of those white Trump supporters and tell me that there isn't hatred for white people or white privilege. The SJW main theme is "Who can whine the loudest should get the best opportunities." NOT who is the most qualified.

Re: I know why this movie gets so much hate.

There's no "white people history". We're just a bunch of pink *beep* spread all over the world. What does have a white Irish dude in common with, let's say, an Ukrainian fellow? Is it "whiteness"? :) Give me a break.
Btw. history isn't black and white. Americans ended Japanese imperialism but there were over 200 000 civilian victims of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
And concentration camps for Japanese-Americans weren't that kosher either.
I think that only really stupid SJW would say that only white people did bad things. But we sure were the biggest imperialists ever and it can't be even compared to Japanese.
We even colonized America and committed a genocide to steal it from Indians.

Re: I know why this movie gets so much hate.

Compared to what American POWs were suffering from Japs?? Are you fcking kidding? Those Jap POWs were LUCKY.


Btw. history isn't black and white. Americans ended Japanese imperialism but there were over 200 000 civilian victims of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.


And they deserved it... for atrocities like Nanking alone.


We even colonized America and committed a genocide to steal it from Indians.


Sooo... you'd rather civilization never have come to be. You'd rather never to have been born... much less born with the convenience and technology you're taking for granted right now??

Re: I know why this movie gets so much hate.

"Popular to hate white people"

What an incredibly retarded post of "alternative facts". This movie gets love, not hate. You obviously have no contact with reality.

Re: I know why this movie gets so much hate.

You are absolutely correct on all counts (except maybe the blonde wig)

Re: I know why this movie gets so much hate.

Our white heroes and historical icons continue to be looked at under a microscope and unjustly torn to pieces, based on petty, ignorant modern sensibilities. You can't really judge a person without living in their shoes. And yet, SJWs continue to do so. Thomas Jefferson is now seen as being worse than Hitler, because he had slaves like everyone else. And yet, no one today knows how hard life was before the industrial age. You needed servants if you didn't want to die cleaning out your own well on your own farm. Feminists want to make those sacrifices out to be nothing - because they're men when in fact (as shown in the film) war is worse than rape.

Re: I know why this movie gets so much hate.

'I know why this movie gets so much hate.'

They have a person in the movie with the same wig as the OP.

It's that man again!!

Re: I know why this movie gets so much hate.

i hate it because it has sloppy unrealistic and corny fight scenes which makes no sense and actually making the american soldiers fools for charging in thousands in tight formation like bunch of peasants
