To the last man is the return of Mel Gibson to the address, a decade after its last proposal, Apocalypto (2006). Was that a tape is undervalued, that had come after works are very diverse as the oscar-winning Braveheart (1995), the indomitable the Passion of The Christ (2004) or his strange debut The Man without a face (1993).
behind the scenes, and with the dart, focusing on what has been the figure of Gibson in terms of controversies far removed from the artistic world (his public issues with alcohol and his obsession with politics and his almost religious fanaticism…) have distanced themselves to a certain audience tapes of the director and actor, one of the best films today from the U.S. to even be blinded by previous prejudices and avoid tapes like To the last man (Hacksaw Ridge) for issues not related to the film assumes an error. Because, in addition, this latest film from Gibson is one of the greatest pleasures cinema-goers of that a lover of war films you can enjoy on a big screen today.
To the last man does not cease to be a biopic and an effort to leave the track and admiration for a guy who at the end was a human being, the courageous and simple: Desmond Doss. To Doss, whose merit was to save dozens of lives in the complicated battle of Okinawa during the Second World War, gives life to a young Andrew Garfield, away from the franchise of Spider-Man.
The cinema war in itself has already a life of its own with hundreds of references. Here you smell and palpate reminiscences far from classic as The Jacket metal or sergeant iron is seen in the part of training of the recruits, but it is especially the second part of Until the last man the greatest gift for those who enjoy watching the battles and re-enactments of war, with a great realism and seriousness. The Normandy landings that already rolled with master Steven Spielberg on Saving private Ryan, for example, was praised for its realism end. Gibson has nothing to envy to that film in its final sequences. What happened on the hill of Hacksaw Ridge, the original title of the film and not kept in Spain, it was a miracle that left to Doss as savior without wielding a single weapon.
His religious conscience and his convictions as a conscientious objector did not prevent him from embarking on to help his country as a physician and Gibson recreates his childhood, adolescence, infatuation with youth, and the dark past and problematic that lived Doss because of an alcoholic father sunk by memories of the war previous world.
As the director hurries up to the maximum the idea of showing details of how Doss came to be who he was, the movie takes to boot with force. Yes, as it does, on the second stretch, it is when it explodes without fear, and is transformed into a block brutal war films are pure, without cracks or contemplations.
Gibson puts all the meat on the grill, no cut include wild moments of wounded, maimed and explosions. To the last man will climb and goes from less to more, ending up at the homage of rigor with sequences interspersed in the credits for the real Doss also leave their mark with images of years before his death, in 2006.
questions that you might have, Garfield complies quite well in what has been his role more convincing and others as a Vince Vaughn, Hugo Weaving, Sam Worthington, and Teresa Palmer you are accompanying us in this journey where any lover of the war-what will happen (or rather, will) quite well. Remarkable.
BEST: The harshness of the war is narrated in an impeccable way
WHAT’s WORST: The crucial part of the film takes a while to get to the eye of the beholder
And don’t miss out…
