If you loved Braveheart, try Hacksaw Ridge

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by Mel Gibson, and they both carry the uplifting mood tag, and they sit in Drama / History / War territory. If that's the register that drew you to Braveheart, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

uplifting

What Hacksaw Ridge is

Okinawa, spring rain, a medic's bag. A Seventh-day Adventist refuses to carry a rifle, his trials begin at boot camp, preluding the Battle of Okinawa. Gibson brings a complex pacifist to life.
