The premiere of the film in 2016, "For reasons of conscience," in which actors are known around the world, was very successful. The story in the project attracted a lot of attention, and soon the tape began to bring good profit. According to film critics, it was the cast that made the film so successful.
The plot of the picture
The plot "For reasons of conscience" in 2016 is based on a true story. The tape tells about a young guy Desmond Doss, who grew up in a family of believers. When the war began, and almost all the inhabitants of his city were called up, the Doss family was allowed to stay in production. Despite his immunity, Desmond did not want to stay at home, and live as a coward when his friends die. At the same time, because of Christian principles, he was not going to kill people. Then the guy learned to be a military medic and began to help the wounded on the field.
Desmond experienced incredible difficulties during his military training. Because of his refusal to take up arms, the captain punished all the soldiers, and then they beat the guy. Further, it became even worse, since another refusal was taken for disobeying the order, for which Doss was threatened by a military court. The situation was saved by the father of a guy who was a hero of the First World War. In the end, Desmond hit the military with his courage and endurance.
Andrew Garfield
The actors for the 2016 film "For Conscience" were very well chosen, which is repeatedly noted by film critics and history buffs. The main role went to Andrew Garfield.
According to the director of the picture, he invited Andrew to star in the film after he saw him in the film "Social Networks". The director also emphasized that he likes the fact that Garfield looks much younger than he actually is.
Andrew himself admitted to reporters that he was very afraid to take part in the shoot because of the director’s poor reputation, but after a personal meeting with him, he realized that he would be very comfortable working with such a person, and besides, he went through a lot since the scandal with his participation. Garfield also said that he was very impressed with the script of the film, and he even burst into tears when he read it.
We remind you that immediately after filming in “Hacksaw ridge” in 2016, Andrew starred in Martin Scorsese’s film “Silence”, where he played the role of a Catholic priest.
Theresa Palmer
Almost all the actors in the film “For Conscience” (2016) were very important for the plot. One of the key characters was performed by Teresa Palmer. The girl got the role of Dorothy Shutt, Desmond's lover.
The couple met in the hospital, where the girl worked as a nurse. She was so impressed with Doss that he wanted to donate blood, just to stay with her a little. So he did several times, and it was these strange courtships that became one of the funniest and most romantic moments in the picture. After some time, Desmond invited Dorothy on a date, and he soon proposed to her. Shutt supported her lover in all his decisions, and was very worried about him. When he went to the front, she handed him the bible, where she put her photograph.
An interesting fact is that the “bookmark” from Dorothy lay in the place where the story of David and Goliath is described. Thus, she wanted to hint that just as David was not afraid of Goliath, Desmond was not afraid of the pressure of his colleagues, as well as the war itself, and he could remain faithful to all his principles.
Other movie participants
Actors and the film crew "For reasons of conscience" (2016) during the creation of the tape literally fell in love with history. This added a picture of realism, which is always very popular with the audience.

The actors introduced Tom, Bert and Harold, the father, mother and brother of the protagonist, respectively. Other roles were played by Vince Vaughn, Sam Worthington, Luke Bracey, Ryan Corr, Richard Roxburgh.
The creators of the picture
Mel Gibson worked as a director on the tape. We remind you that this was the first project of the director after a ten-year break. The fact is that he became a member of two scandals at once. He was accused of anti-Semitic statements, and information surfaced about domestic violence in the Mel family. This ruined his reputation, and also became the reason for such a long break in his favorite work.
Since the creation of the project lasted fifteen years, a lot of people were involved in developing the script. The actors of the film “For Conscience” (2016) were pleased that in the end, Andrew Knight, Randall Wallace and Robert Shenkkan became the screenwriters of the story.
It is known that the first script for the tape was written by Gregory Crosby, later he became one of the producers of the picture, but then no one wanted to start production of the story. Bill Mikanick invited Gibson to start developing the story, but the director refused the tape twice. And only ten years later he changed his mind.
