And so Doss argued with his father and still decided to go to military even when his father disagreed.
All soldiers lined up and stood still to listen as Sergeant Howell comes in the camp to tell them about their training that the soldiers are about to begin to do, when they just moved in the camp and barley settled in to unpack their things.
During one of the shooting trainings Doss denied his decisions to pick up a gun and told Sergeant Howell that he was told to not needed to pick up a gun at all since he's got drafted as a medic only under religious grounds.
Desmond getting beat up by his fellow soldiers in the camp at night, after his fellow soldiers saw that his stance on religious beliefs are dumb and that he is not carrying a gun because of it. And so when Sergeant Howell asked what happened to Doss face he responded with saying that he had a bad sleep and that nothing happened.

The war starts as everyone began climbing the mountain up to the top to start their fight in the Battle of Okinawa against the Japanese people.
After the first round of the fight against the Japanese's people there is a break in war as the sun sets low and the American lay rest till sun rises next day to fight. As a bunch of soldiers and Sergeant Howell talk what's next for their plan in winning this war.
The battle gets so bloody as many people are getting killed left and right. Doss see's that their fellow soldiers are retreating without saving the rest of their fellow soldiers that's left out in the field. And so while everyone goes back down and retreat, Doss the only soldier remaining decided to risk his lives in saving them himself.
One by one as Doss drags each solider who's wounded or injured down the cliff with only his bare hands and a rope all by himself with no help, as he tries his best to save each one no matter what, as god guides him through it.
The soldiers that were injured and wounded on the top of the cliff were brought down and back to the camp to help them with their injuries. As these soldiers told the sergeant that Doss is the one who saved all of them by himself up top as he drags them down one at a time.
After saving every possible soldiers that Doss could possibly save Doss gets saved by his fellow soldiers knowing his survival up top. Once he's back on the ground Doss was later asked by everyone in the camp if he would go back out there to war, as many soldiers now started to believe in Doss and would only go to war if Doss goes as Doss prays again for the better.
As Doss goes back up again and fights for another day of survival, he got injured when he was trying to save his fellow soldiers from a grenade by kicking it, which blew him up midway as he still survived. As the war is won Doss gets sent down the cliff by his soldiers as he finally could rest in peace when the war is finally over and the people he saved is safe.
A movie that tells the true story of a person named Pfc. Desmond T. Doss, who wanted to save lives in the military by becoming a medic going to war. When his father denied his decisions of going to war knowing the consequences of people going to war will mostly not return after they getting drafted, when Doss's father had already seen enough of people getting killed, three of his best friends already died because of it. Doss' father tries to convince Doss not to be the next that lies in the grave of what his father see’s next. But Doss wasn’t persuaded by his father as he believed that this is the right way, that he believed that his beliefs of god are leading him in the right direction of saving these people instead of letting them die in war, that he needs to do this no matter at what cost of saving them.
As Doss gets drafted to the military he gets ostracized by his fellow soldiers for his pacifist stance. He was sent to prison because of his decisions and was later put up in court by the head chief and judge to make a decision as if Doss were either to be excluded from the military or stay because of his decisions to be a medic and not bear any weapons in war to protect himself. Later on Doss' father came in and helped his son after knowing the choices that his son makes for himself and that he believed in his choices is his path that he makes are what's right for his way of believing's. So Doss' father decided to help him by pleading the judge not to exclude Doss from the military, as well as being able to be a medic that doesn’t need to bear arms in war. Moving on with his own decisions of going to war as a medic, Doss went on to earn respect and adoration for his bravery, selflessness and compassion after he risked his life without firing a shot to save 75 men in the Battle of Okinawa. Who then won a Congressional Medal of Honor despite him not carrying a single weapon in WWII on religious grounds.

Concept of using a rope as part of the title sequence that is going throughout the whole sequence that will go along until it reaches the Movie title. And as the rope moves through the screen names will start popping up as well as directors and production design names.
This is a concept that uses images as part of the movie title sequence. Where you can see that as each screen is shown it will display the names of the actors in different places of the screen as well as the last movie title being on the last screen, big and bright.
This is a concept that uses the lines and stars of the American flag as part of a representation of the whole movie. As the whole movie is about American fighting the Japanese's. And so with this concept I try to use it to help emphasis the typography more by lines moving in and out and back in every direction possible as well as the stars.
This last concept is using different words to help create and make a object when combined together. Where these words will all represent something in the movie or a word from the movie. As these words help to create a object of either a bible, medic helmet or other stuff.
