MEL'S STILL GOT IT


Mel Gibson deviated from his star-spangled path on the turn of the centuries, but now shows some strong signs of recovery, lead by one of the most intriguing and fascinating war stories ever.

„Hacksaw ridge” will consist out of two clear parts. First one, deals with liberal and civic society aspects of the training of Desmond Doss (surprisingly solid Andrew Garfield), first pacifist US soldier in World War Two. Second one tells the true story about his exploits on top of Hacksaw ridge, one of the bloodiest battles that US Marines led with Japanese in the entire war. And it’s in that second part that all of Gibson’s gift for directing, cinematography and editing will kick in with all of its strength, creating some of the most vivid war action sequences in modern day Hollywood. Pathetic will step in as well, peaking towards the end, but the Australian just knows how to direct a patriotic and inspiring movie story.

„Hacksaw ridge” is hyper-pathetic, but memorably directed war flick.

ARTIFICIALLY SWEETENED



Korean cinematography tends to deal intensively with the Korean war and its consequences, and so did the screenwriters of „Ode to my father”. However, most of the film makers also potentiate the pathetic and semi-realistic way of depicting the given subject.

Not to be misunderstood, there are some truly disturbing scenes in this war drama, especially the opening one, but the rest of this voyage through time will be just plain exaggerating.

„Ode to my father” is one of those war dramas that can be easily circumvented even if you are the genre lover.
