In the 19th century, Dostoevsky wrote The Idiot to explore the perilous journey of the truly beautiful soul. With Hacksaw Ridge, Mel Gibson set out to portray a similar journey; that of Desmond Doss, the first conscientious objector to win a medal of honor. This new video dives into this incredible story, examines its narrative structure, the qualities of its main character and reflects on the place of goodness and innocence in a violent world.

Got a copyright claim on my latest video, I always make an effort to stay within Fair Use so I filed a dispute, but it looks like it's still going to be blocked until they respond (November 15th at the latest), really glad to have you all right because a claim like this one is probably going to cost me thousands of views :( EDIT: looks like it got unblocked, for now... EDIT 2: They rejected my dispute and blocked it again, so I filed an appeal, which is very risky because it might lead to a copyright strike (3 of those and you're done) but I'm hoping for the best. EDIT 3: The claim is released! I feel like I've been pranked or something, anyways, the video should be available to everyone again!

I've really enjoyed these videos that connect with Hegel's categorical imperative, as I've never actually read Hegel before and I think the points mentioned here and in your Kingdom of Heaven video really redeem these characters for actions that viewers like myself might have thought prideful or naïve. Keep up the good work!
