Movie Review: V FOR VENDETTA

Remember, remember!

The fifth of November,

The Gunpowder treason and plot;

I know of no reason

Why the Gunpowder treason

Should ever be forgot! . . .

Movie Review: HACKSAW RIDGE

Hacksaw Ridge is Mel Gibson’s latest directorial effort telling the true story of Medal of Honor recipient Desmond T. Doss (portrayed by Andrew Garfield in this film). Doss was a combat medic in the U.S. Army during the World War II incursions into Japan and, as a conscientious objector on religious grounds, he refused to carry a gun or to commit any violence on another. During a battle aimed at taking Hacksaw Ridge from the Japanese, Doss proved his heroism by saving many American lives. This film stars Andrew Garfield, Teresa Palmer, Hugo Weaving, Vince Vaughn, Sam Worthington, and Luke Bracey. It's an incredibly powerful film which affected me on a deeply emotional level in addition to it impressing me technically.
