2. • REALISM - realism in film theory refers to the filmmaking strategy that emphasizes the value of film as a documentary medium. Realism was advanced by the French critic André Bazin and German film theorist Siegfried Kracauer in the 1930s. Realism conveys “faithfully” what the camera eye sees to the film audiences.

3. Hacksaw Ridge is applauded for its gritty realism and willingness to showcase the horrific details of war without nationalistic overtones. The film honors the true story of Desmond Doss, a conscientious objector who saved numerous lives on the battlefield through his bravery and dedication as a medic.

4. While the film took some creative liberties with Doss’ personal life, it closely followed his actions during the war and maintained the integrity of his story, humanizing him on screen.
