Another WW2 movie

War History Online has an article about Mel Gibson's new movie:

It's been awhile since Gibson took part in any Hollywood major production; with him back in the arena, fans are expecting a decent production and a realistic war movie.
Surrounded by members of his production crew, Gibson seemed pretty determined and focused while directing action sequences for his upcoming movie. His direction looked quietly intense; he was constantly moving around, directing and making people doing adjustments to his elaborate outdoor set; a rain soaked field just outside Sydney, Australia. Even in between occasional breaks, Gibson discussed various possible sequences with his senior production team.
A large number of old Jeeps, Army wagons, and tanks could be seen surrounding the wet field, waiting for their turns to perform on Gibson’s orders. An elaborate effort was made to add the utmost authenticity to the military gear and uniforms, as well as soldiers’ tents erected in a nearby patch of dry land. Despite the less-than-favorable weather conditions, actors and extras performing as soldiers, carrying World War Two weaponry of flame thrower sand machine guns, looked ready and determined to make things work.
This is not the first time that Gibson has taken the director’s seat to showcase his creative skills. Hacksaw Ridge will be his fifth directorial project, after The Man Without A Face, Braveheart, The Passion of the Christ, and Apocalypto. Nearly all of those projects generated handsome revenue and earned critic’s appreciation and audience’s approval on a wide scale.
Gibson is not a stranger to New South Wales, Australia, since he spent most of his childhood in the region. While addressing the reporters and journalists in Sydney’s Fox Studios, Gibson expressed his excitement about his current project. He talked about the people he had bumped into after a long time, and that working with his past friends gave him a unique sense of satisfaction and confidence, according to the Mail.
The subject of the movie is unique, the mostly ‘under-mentioned’ hero of World War Two. Starring Andrew Garfield of The Amazing Spiderman, Hacksaw Ridge tells the story of conscientious objector Desmond Doss, who refused to kill people and became the first CO in American history to be awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor, having saved the lives of more then 75 men on Okinawa during World War Two. Though the man never fired a shot, saving lives of that many soldiers is certainly a good subject for a blockbuster war movie.

Rico says he will, of course, see it.
