Hacksaw Ridge - 3

Neutral is a great result in this variant haha

This format

Hacksaw Ridge is a movie about an American pacifist who joined the army and refused to use a gun. He refused to quit even though there was some pretty heavy pressure to do so.

He was a medic during the Vietnam War and saved loads of people's lives at hacksaw ridge. He won a medal of honour or something.

His name was Des Doss.

Might not have been Vietnam, might have been WWII but I'm pretty confident on the rest of the story

Vet for sure.

I know that the British medals are called the ____ cross, but I don't know if they US ones are.

Pretty sure there's hacksaw ridge was a cliff by the sea. They had to climb from boats to get to the fighting.

Perhaps Mount

Hacksaw Ridge was in the Pacific during WW2, he was fighting the Japanese. I think the movie was on Iwo Jima, but I'm not entirely sure. A big piece of the movie was him carrying wounded to the edge of a cliff so they could be evacuated down, because everyone else retreated. Fantastic movie, highly recommend it if you like war movies

Current thoughts

Cross - It was a religious objection.
Day - The bulk of the film is one day
Mount - It's at the top of a big hill
Vet - He's a real veteran.
Needle - He's a medic
Theater - Theater of war

The US equivalent of the Victoria cross is the Medal of Honor, and I'm fairly confident he won one

Cross may also be a Titanic clue, and we add it as our 4th choice

Vet
Cross
Mount

Are probably my top 3 in order.

We can have day, needle, theatre (whatever) as backups. I have no reference, but we should leave a clear backup to make things more black and white in future rounds.

Millionaire as makeup word for Titanic and then I guess Apple and Trunk as backups for that.

Never seen it, but I think it’s about spies entering a country under the guise of being filmmakers.

That makes Hollywood make sense. And maybe embassy?

Good to run this, too. Argo has to be for more than just Hollywood, but maybe we do Hollywood then run through day, then if we’re still alive go for embassy or something else?

Maybe bug because it’s a spy movie? Or file?

If it's a spy movie about movie makers?

Embassy
Hollywood
State
Theater

stick out to me.

Not knowing whether a theater was actually shown in the movie makes me uncomfortable with guessing it.

And I think they’re CIA, which isn’t the State Dept, but I could be wrong.

I also have no idea if an embassy is featured, but I feel better about that than theater and state.

Well "state" also refers to governments in general.

But I'm just spitballing here.

Possible this was 1 + the list, but we have to consider the options.

Why don't we do the 1, then the list, then tack a couple of these on at the end?

Hollywood
Needle
Pyramid
Trunk
