however, the filmmakers did change some details, notably the backstory about his father, the incident with the gun doss took out of his alcoholic father's hands, and the circumstances of his first marriage. the character of smitty, portrayed by luke bracey, is an amalgamation of various soldiers who tormented doss and was created for narrative reasons. other changes to the story occur near the end of the movie when doss is placed on a stretcher. in real life, doss had another wounded man take his place on the stretcher. after treating the soldier, a sniper shot fractured doss' arm and he crawled to safety after being left alone for five hours. gibson omitted this from the film because he felt that the audience would not find the scene believable. the film also omits his prior combat service in the battle of guam and battle of leyte (doss was awarded the bronze star medal for extraordinary bravery in both battles), and leaves the impression that doss' actions at okinawa took place over a period of a few days, though his medal of honor citation covered his actions over a period of about three weeks (april 29 to may 21). the visual blog "information is beautiful" deduced that, while taking creative license into account, the film was 52.7% accurate when compared to real-life events, summarizing that "most of the main war-related events did take place, although not all in the timeframe of the film" and that "much of the pre-war stuff is either invented or distorted".
