![]() I hope, whoever does watch THOU SHALT NOT KILL, enjoys it as much as my wife and I do. I found Italy to be a wonderful, colourful country and would one day like to return. Many year's ago, my family and I visited Italy for a holiday. Country's like Italy, are not that much different to the UK. Gives me a more understanding of other country's cutler's, fashion and indeed location's etc. Watching tv show's from other european country's and also other country's around the world. ![]() THOU SHALT NOT KILL, is very similar to those type of murder mystery show's. Being a UK citizen, the type of murder mystery show's that i watch are, VERA, Midsomer Murders etc. I, have found each episode extremely interesting. When she found out that there were infact 36 episode's, spread over 2 season's, she was very happy indeed. It is normally me who gets so involved with a tv show. my wife and I, became completely mesmerized. Without telling anyone else how to live their life, he showed how God had called him to live his - and he kept telling people who his commanding officer is.When my wife started to watch THOU SHALT NOT KILL, she only thought there were 6 episode's. The moral certainty and personal campaign for pacifism which Doss waged as a one-man war, had a powerful impact upon those around him.

I want to help to put it back together a little bit.” As Doss puts it in Hacksaw Ridge: “The world is trying to tear itself apart. Yet his desire to honour, obey and serve God didn’t stop him enlisting and heading into the firing line. The collision in his home, between human violence and God’s teachings against it, lodged in the heart and mind of Doss. “It put a horror in my heart of just killing and, as a result, I took it personally: ‘Desmond, if you love me, you won’t kill.’”Īnd he didn’t. “And when I looked at that picture, I came to the Sixth Commandment, ‘Thou shalt not kill,’” Doss explained to an interviewer.

Serving as a paramedic, Doss refused to bear arms, even though he provided medical assistance under fire. Like his phenomenal Passion of the Christ, Gibson’s latest feature is based on a true story of godly conduct in the face of vicious opposition.įilmed across New South Wales and starring Andrew Garfield ( The Social Network), Vince Vaughn ( Wedding Crashers) and stacks of homegrown talent, Hacksaw Ridge spotlights a Christian who fought in World War II – without a gun.ĭesmond Doss became the first conscientious objector in the US Army to receive the Medal of Honor.
