    Steven Spielberg should make a movie from this story
    The real life story of Desmond Doss is so compelling it should be seen by a larger audience. Unfortunately a documentary will never enjoy the popularity of a movie.

    Only Spielberg could do it justice. Perhaps he will read this. I can only repeat what other reviewers have said.

    I am not a Christian, I am not even religious, but I cannot fathom how so much luck could have been with any man. I actually consider it surreal. It makes me wonder !!!

    Yes, I agree, everyone should see this movie, which is why I say Spielberg should make it into a drama and it should be given to schools - to churches and distributed freely.

    It is too good a story to leave as a somewhat obscure documentary.
