The man behind ‘The Passion of the Christ’ in 2004, Mel Gibson, has screened his new movie Hacksaw Ridge – a Second World War film about a soldier whose Christian beliefs drive his pacifism. It got its world premiere at 73rd Venice Film festival in September, where Deadline Hollywood reports it received a 10-minute standing ovation.
The role of Christianity in the film is certainly not subtle, as demonstrated by the official trailer that you can watch below. The two-minute clip includes multiple references to Doss’ faith, including a scene of him in fervent prayer, and another when he is beaten up because of his beliefs. It also seems to show how Doss’ beliefs begin to have a profound effect on his fellow troops.
The film is released in the US on 4th November, with other territories expected to release around the same date.
Check out the trailer below.
