So, was this a remake of Forrest Gump?
>>214490391This guy came first, though.It was funny how this movie removed some parts from his story because they sounded too fantastical and ridiculous.
>>214490453like what?
>>214490508>in a remarkable act of selflessness, Doss gave up his stretcher for another wounded soldier. subsequently, he was shot by a sniper, fracturing his arm. despite being left alone for five hours, he crawled 300 yards to safety. director Mel Gibson omitted this scene, believing audiences would find it unbelievable>the film focuses on Doss's actions during the Battle of Okinawa but omits his earlier combat service in the Battle of Guam and the Battle of Leyte. in these engagements, he was awarded the Bronze Star Medal for extraordinary bravery, actions that were left out of the film for brevity>the film changes the timeline of Doss's marriage. in reality, he met Dorothy Schutte, a fellow Seventh-day Adventist, at church in Lynchburg, Virginia. the movie's portrayal of their courtship and marriage was adjusted for narrative purposes
>>214490575If it's as true as the rope ladder thing I totally believe it lol
