The movie Hacksaw Ridge (Mel Gibson, 2016) is adapted from the life of Desmond Doss, known as America's first conscientious objector who received the Congressional Medal of Honor, and tells the story of joining the army in the Second World War while refusing to carry a gun, kill the people and engage in violence because of religious belief. Although the focus is on this conscientious objector, the movie gives an example of how the values of hegemonic masculinity benefit from the power relations between different forms of masculinities. This article analyses the movie through contending masculinities in barracks, family and war, and aims to examine how a form of masculinity represented as an opposing figure to the values of hegemonic masculinity supports and reproduces these values. Thus, it aims to emphasize the diversity of the power domain.
