Hacksaw Ridge - what a film..

Watched it on Sunday and i have to agree a very good film and superior to Saving Private Ryan imo..10/10

story stolen from dads army episode branded

I watched the first hour and had to stop it. I agree it looked very good, I will definitely watch the rest of it.

It's a true story Cardiff, so it's not really stolen from Dads Army.

Seeing this Thursday, from what I hear, a 15 rating seems quite leniant.

skenbo.......I was joking........though private  godfrey in the story was a real life hero in ww1

15 is very low, agreed.

I looked away more than once...

I was relieved the first part of the film was quite different and gave a build up for what was to come..

have seen it, first hour was a bit slow, bird was hot as feck tho

I said to my missus "How the fook did he pull her?".

Saw it Saturday and thought it was excellent. 9/10

I threatened to take them to the court of human rights and they retracted the ban

Good lad.  Glad to see you're still around.

Tempted to go and watch this film.

Is it anything like inglourious basterds which I thought was total Hollywood crap?

I doubt it. The film you mentioned was directed by Tarantino, who is a genius at script writing and film making.
HRidge is directed by someone who definitely isn't .

As a true story it carries a certain gravitas. If the events were fictional one could easily say it was Hollywood taking liberties making the impossible seem possible.

Tarantino's over hyped imo. I've not been a huge fan of his post 2000 work.

I've still not watched all of HR, but I think Gibson's done a great job.

Did he manage to work in an anti English angle into the film?

good film would have been a lot better if vince vaughn was not in it. his acting was dire.

"inglourious basterds" isn't very good as it's the overrated Tarantino who doesn't make very good films but it's "kewl" to like him, leading to a generation or two of students sticking reservoir feckin dogs posters on their walls.

Interestingly it's title is taken from a 70s Italian film from an era when the Italians used to do War Films that were like Spaghetti Westerns, known as

.. wait for it ...

"Macaroni Combat" films

they'll bring out another hammer to bash him into the ground. Mel's just too vocal.

6/10 for me.

What is Unbelievable is that it is a True Story Wonder what silly Bollix Trump would
