World War 2 historian James Holland praises Andrew Garfield's 2016 anti-war movie Hacksaw Ridge as he breaks down the film's battle sequences.
Andrew Garfield’s anti-war film Hacksaw Ridge gets praise from a World War 2 expert. Based on a true story, Hacksaw Ridge tells the story of pacifist Desmond Doss . Despite joining the war efforts during World War 2, Doss refuses to kill, claiming that his devout Seventh-day Adventist religion prevented him from doing so. Hacksaw Ridge was well-received upon its 2016 release and received six Oscars nominations, including Best Picture and Best Actor for Garfield.
Lots of Japanese soldiers yelling and charging manically at the enemy. That’s what they did over and over and over again, and one of the extraordinary things about the Japanese in the Second World War is they never really amended their tactics. They had their tactics, these sort of banzai charges, where you would just charge at the enemy, intimidate them, cut them down.
So, there’s a little clip of a guy using a submachine gun. That was what was known as the spud gun, like the old gangster Tommy gun of Al Capone and all the rest of it, and these fire around 30 rounds. You know, it takes about sort of three or four seconds to get through them, something like that. The Americans had the Tommy gun, which they were issued with, and they also had later on in the war, they had the spud gun. Now, it’s just a bit smaller. It’s much cheaper to make, it’s lighter.
And what we’ve just seen there is the heavy naval guns firing, and of course, that was one of the advantages that the allies, the Americans particularly, had… lots and lost of warships off the coast at any of these invasions.
