I enjoyed Hacksaw Ridge because the genre and the setting fits one of may favourite genres: War Films. The story is also very well told and is a brilliant re-telling of Desmond Doss’s real experiences.

I think that the Macro features of theme and genre defiantly have a part in the main reasons why I love this film. For example the fact that it is a war film is one of the reasons why I enjoy it because I like the setting and I find the time period interesting. As well as this the theme and the message that the film gives off is one that really appeals to me as its about faith and doing as much good as you can no matter the odds.

Because there are so many war films, some would say that this is the same as all the others  but, even though it is similar but they are all different in there own aspects. For example, some of the more cliche war films are about the heroes overcoming the enemy, killing them all and winning. In Hacksaw Ridge, Desmond Doss overcomes the enemy but without harming anyone and saves his friends.
