Hey guys! It's a Friday again, so time for another fun update!

Now this one is going to be a recreation of the trailer for the movie Hacksaw Ridge, about Private Desmond Doss who was the first conscientious objector (meaning he refused to carry any kind of weapon) to receive the medal of honor for his actions during the Battle of Okinawa, the most brutal and bloodiest stepping stone on the road to Tokyo.

And I know I have a lot of other suggestions, but this trailer just really moved me! I actually almost had tears going down my face to how good it was!


Hacksaw Ridge Official Trailer


In a smoky scene, with artillery rounds sailing through the air and exploding, some American soldiers were charging through and as artillery rounds began to hit, explosions sprang up as one hit nearby a soldier, the soldier going in flames as he was thrown through the air.

"What the hell is your delay captain?"

A senior officer asked his captain as a formation of American soldiers stood still, all looking to one direction. A captain, a Scarlet macaw, replied back through his radio.

"We're waiting sir."

The captain replied as he stared at something, the rest of the men doing the same.

"Waiting for what!?

The captain's senior officer demanded, the Scarlet captain looking to reveal a soldier by himself, with his back turned to him.

"Private Gunderson."

The captain replied, his senior officer confused, but still pretty upset.

"Who the hell is Private Gunderson?"

The senior officer demanded to know as the camera revealed Gunderson's face, with blood marks across his blue face as he had an empty expression on. Then the camera faded to black

The scene moved to one of something peaceful, with the sun rising over some mountains.

"I was dreaming about being a doctor."

It was Private Gunderson, or as he was known before he went to war, Tyler "Blu" Gunderson, he was walking through a field, enjoying the peacefulness of the day as the scene transformed to one of him going to enter a hospital named Moose Lake Hospital.

"But I'm didn't get much school…"

The scene moving to one of Blu talking to a young nurse named Jewel, talking to her about the war, Jewel clearly scared for Blu as she had a concerned expression on her face.

"I can't stay here while all of them go fight for me."

The scene then moving to one of Blu holding onto a bible he had, where he had a picture of Jewel as a bookmark, he was on a bus, filled with other recruits, to begin his training as a soldier.

"Did you figure this war is just going to fit in with your ideas?"

The scene showing an American troop column moving into a Japanese held island, with their landing craft and warships out at sea. The scene faded to black for a split second, to show Blu's father, named David standing in front of many graves of dead soldiers from the First World War, in which David fought in.

"While everybody is taking life I'm going to be saving it, and that's going to be my way to serve."

Blu spoke back to his father, determined to never carry and fire a gun if he was accepted as a soldier.

Based on the Incredible True Story

The scene moving to one of the bus that Blu was on arriving at Fort Jackson, one of the army training camps for soldiers.

"This is a personal gift from the United States government…"

A Blue macaw Sergeant named Eduardo addressed some soldiers, as his aide next to him held up an M1 Garand, a semi-automatic rifle that can fire 8 rounds before reloading as fast as a man can pull the trigger.

"…designed to bring death to the enemy."

The Sergeant finished, everyone getting a rifle, but Blu refused his as Eduardo saw the lone rifle that Blu was supposed to hold.

"Well I'm sorry sergeant, but I can't touch a gun."

Blu bravely stated, Eduardo having a look of disbelief as he took Blu in to the captain's office, Blu standing in front of the captain.

"You don't kill?"

The captain named Alex asked Blu.

"No sir."

Blu replied, standing his ground as Alex told him the obvious.

"You know, quite a bit of killing does occur in war."

Blu shook his head to show he understood this, the screen moving to one of showing the new recruits laying down while aiming their rifles, doing some target practice. Eduardo addressed the other recruits about Blu.

"Private Gunderson does not believe in violence."

Blu standing outside the firing line, while the other recruits looked at him with disbelief, Blu having an embarrassed expression on.

"Do not look to him to save you on the battlefield."

Then it showed the recruits going through obstacles, such as going through pipes, then crawling under barbed wire in mud, and then climbing up some ropes. At the ropes, another recruit named Roberto, ahead of Blu saw him down below him and with his talons, he kicked Blu off, Blu landing hard in the ground.

Later, while in the barracks, while Blu was reading from his bible, Roberto, a tough guy, came up to him.

"I don't think this is a question of religion, I think this is cowardice."

Roberto said harshly to Blu as he was ready to punch the nonviolent recruit, striking a blow across Blu's face. Later, during the night, a bunch of recruits ganged up on Blu and beat him up. And in the morning, Blu had bruises, with blood on him.

"I fell in love with you because I thought you were unlike anyone else."

Jewel with tears in her eyes addressed Blu as she put a wing on his cheek, while Blu had tears in his eyes as well looking at Jewel. The screen going black before showing Blu being taken to military court, the MPs escorting him. In the court, some of the recruits that Blu was with were also there, Blu exchanging looks with them, but not saying anything to them.

"They're saying you could go to prison."

Jewel told Blu, fearful of what will happen to him.

"I don't know how I'm going to live with myself if I don't stay true to what I believe."

Blu told Jewel, determined to not give in. The scene moving to one of battle, American soldiers charging against the Japanese, a soldier with a B.A.R. (Browning Automatic Rifle) mowing down a group of Japanese soldiers.

"With the world so set on tearing itself apart…"

Blu spoke while he was in military jail, freaking out as he was rapidly punching the door, going insane as he flipped over his current bed.

"…it don't seem like such a bad thing to me to want to put a little bit of it back together."

Blu spoke in court, defending himself as he made his argument.

"Private Gunderson, you are free to run into the hellfire of battle without a single weapon to protect yourself."

The army judge delivered his final ruling, allowing Blu to have his way as Blu smiled slightly at his victory. The scene then moving to one of American soldiers facing a ridge they had to climb, which was currently under bombardment from the U.S. Navy to clear any enemy resistance, explosions covering the land.

From the Academy Award Winning Director of Braveheart

The American soldiers from down below started climbing up the ridge with ropes, after the bombardment, hoping the Japanese were gone. They advanced with caution, weapons ready as the smoke still hung in the air, Blu with them. Suddenly the Japanese opened fire, men getting thrown from artillery rounds exploding, the American soldiers establishing a fire line as the Japanese did a banzai charge. Sergeant Eduardo trying to hold the line.

"I'm going to get you home!"

Blu shouted, holding onto a wounded soldier and then dragging him to safety.

This November

As the sun rose next day on the Japanese held island, a soldier came to Captain Alex to tell him something important.

"There's something you got to see."

The scene showing what Blu did last night, which was to save as many wounded American soldiers as he could, bringing them down the ridge by a pulley system. The same soldiers in a hospital tent in the American camp, resting and being thankful they were alive.

"Who did this?"

Alex asked the soldier who summoned him and the soldier replied back with an answer Alex least expected.

"Gunderson the coward."

Then showing Blu himself crawling through a tunnel the Japanese dug and then hiding from Japanese soldiers walking nearby. The scene moving to one of Captain Alex talking to Blu.

"We have to go back out tomorrow…"

One of American's Greatest Heroes

"…and they're not going there without you."

Alex explained to Blu while the scene moved to one of Alex leading his men against the Japanese. Japanese grenades started to be thrown and Blu kicked the grenades away from his fellow soldiers, to prevent them from getting killed, but he was injured as he was thrown by the explosion.

Never Fired a Bullet

"Help me."

Said a soldier as he wounded and laying down in the soil, Blu coming to him.

"You'll have to trust me."

Blu told the soldier as he buried him to prevent the Japanese from finding him, Blu needing to retreat for now, but promised to come back. The Japanese soldiers with raised rifles at the ready, searching for American soldiers to finish off, as they passed by the buried soldier, later Blu was able to dig out the buried soldier and help him.

"You better come home to me."

Said Jewel as the scene showed her taking off her dress, to spend a wonderful night with Blu before he shipped off. Holding onto him as the two kissed each other deeply. Blu then back in the present, during the battle, where he was currently washing off the blood from his body under some falling water.

And then it showed a scene during the battle in which an American flamethrower was clearing out an enemy bunker, while another one charged in with his Thompson submachine gun. The American and Japanese soldiers meeting face to face in a charge, literally grabbing each other.

"Please Lord,"

Blu said while it showed him kneeling down besides his jail bed, then moving to one of the battle where it showed American soldiers charging.

"help me get one more."

While the battle was still raging on, Blu continuing to help and save his fellow wounded soldiers, bringing them down the ridge. And back to the battle, an American soldier took aim with a bazooka and blew up an enemy bunker, which exploded in flames. And then showing a couple of soldiers taking care of a very sad looking Blu, one of them putting a comforting wing on his cheek. And lastly it showed Blu and Jewel, touching heads, while Blu was in military jail, the screen going black before it showed the last piece.

"Help me get one more."

Blu said as he was carrying a wounded soldier on his back, running back to the American camp.

Hacksaw Ridge

November


Well I hope you guys enjoyed this! This movie actually came out last November, so I'm actually going to watch it tonight! (Through a free movie site) So next update (Which will be a Q and A) I'm going to say how I liked the movie, I can already tell from the trailer that I will like it very much!

Anyway… You guys are probably not going to read this part, but I do want to say it…

This movie, as I said before, is based on the true story of Private Desmond Doss who refused any kind of weapon because of his beliefs and his past experiences of violence in his life. However, during the Battle of Okinawa, he went beyond what any soldier would do and received the medal of honor for his actions, without even firing a single bullet or killing a single enemy soldier.

Instead he saved the lives of his fellow wounded soldiers when other American soldiers would just turn and run and Doss would personally save the lives of 75 wounded American soldiers. He proved that you don't need to have a weapon to be brave and have courage and that it was more important to save lives then to kill the enemy.
