10 Insanely Accurate War Film Details

"Please, Lord. Help me get one more."

2016's Hacksaw Ridge is an unforgettable war film and also one brimming with historical flourishes. Receiving six Oscar nominations and taking home two, Mel Gibson's stirring biographical effort brings the tale of Desmond Doss to life - a WWII conscientious objector and Medal of Honor recipient who dragged 75 men to safety without firing a shot during the bloody Battle of Okinawa.

A massive element behind the tidal wave of acclaim for Hacksaw Ridge was the unflinchingly brutal manner in which the movie captured the Pacific Theater of war. The Andrew Garfield-led effort replicated the hellish conditions of the Battle of Okinawa with such vivid realism that many critics lauded the film as the most convincing onscreen depiction of the conflict since 1998's Saving Private Ryan.

One of the easiest to miss - and most ridiculously detailed - aspects of warfare depicted in Hacksaw Ridge is the manner in which medics can be seen attaching empty morphine syrettes to an injured combatant's lapels. This seemingly innocuous act was performed during the heat of battle so that if a separate medic were to later come across the same soldier, they would not accidentally deliver an additional - and potentially fatal - dose of morphine to the stricken man.

It's a tiny inclusion, but one that illustrates the dizzyingly horrifying nature of combat in the Pacific.
