  • You guys have patiently waited for my reaction to the Band of Brothers documentary 'We Stand Alone Together'. I hope it was worth the wait. It was for me. What a wonderful doc!
    It was so wonderful hearing from the men of Easy Company themselves. The few seconds I saw of them at the start of each Band of Brothers episode were already extremely affecting so a whole episode of them was very emotional! Dick Winters, Carwood Lipton and the rest were all very eloquent speakers and I could listen to them talk all day. I'll remember that story about the German lieutenant and Winters forever.
    Feel free to request anything you'd like me to watch. TV shows/films, trailers, music videos, performances, interviews - whatever! Just put it down in the comments.

      I often hear people say this, but I think it’s an unfounded pessimism. I teach history to kids 12-14 years old and they absolutely LOVE hearing the stories of heroism from WW1, WW2, and Vietnam. They can’t get enough of it. I can’t tell you how many times year after year they come up to me and ask for recommendations of documentaries and movies they can watch to learn more about these guys. They do appreciate it. Boys and girls alike.

    If I had to guess. I would say part of the animosity was that you can’t look at the replacements without remembering the men they replaced.

    You have it right for how the recruits are treated. It has everything to do with getting to know them only to watch them die. Imagine having a brother and watching him die over and over again. That's what it was like for these men. They just weren't soldiers but a unit, a team, brothers in the field of battle. Better to not know them so you don't have to feel that loss anymore.

    You're right, "Moe" Alley has to be one of the most underrated men of Easy, that guy was wounded 2 times (broken glass in Normandy, potato masher in Holland) and he kept coming back xd what a man! One of my favorites. It's a shame that he's very secondary in the series, but is cool that he's instantly recognizable because of his black hair and the scars on his face after Holland. He's the one that looked almost dead at the beginning of ep. 5 (he was in a patrol with Liebgott and Lesniewski); then he appears in 'Bastogne' singing with Liebgott in their foxhole; in 'The Breaking Point' he's singing with a group of men before the german sniper starts shooting at the end of the episode; and then he's seen on 'The Last Patrol' going to the patrol with Webster and the others... Malarkey is also one of my favorites, it's so hard to see him broken because of the memories of Bastogne and what happened to his friends there: Muck and Penkala died, Joe Toye and Guarnere lost a leg, and Buck was sent away...
    I'm so happy that you're back! And extra-happy that you decided to watch this documentary. You look amazing (I love your hair) and your cats are so cute! You made me laugh when you went to grab some toilet paper xd I hope everything is ok and that you keep reacting as long as you feel fine. Can't wait for your Attack on Titan reactions, they're so good :3
    ps: by the way, if you don't mind me asking, from what part of the UK are you from? I've always loved your accent, but never asked :c

I love accents, especially from the UK and Spain, the little (or big) variations between them, but I still have problems identifying them xd I love how you pronounce words with "o" or "u", like "running", "gun" and "lovely", it's hard to describe it for me (i'm not native english speaker), but I just love it. Thank you for responding. Take care!

      @@felipeaquitral he's not! He just does a Northern accent on the show.
      For someone who isn't a native speaker you've done a really good job picking out the parts of my speech where my accent is very prominent. I've noticed some native speakers (particularly Americans 😉) aren't as attuned to subtle variances like that.
      The 'uh' sound in 'running', 'gun' and 'lovely' is quite heavy in my accent. Whereas someone like Kate Beckinsale who has a posher, Southern accent, would sound a lot more delicate. Ha!
      We would also pronounce words like "bath" or "glass" differently.
      She'd say bahhth and glahhss. Using a long ahh sound.
      Whereas I'd say glass like 'ass' with 'gl' on the front lmfao. And bath like baff (but with a th at the end... though not always. I might say baff if I'm being lazy with my speech. Just like I might not say the t's in "bottle" - this is called a glottal stop).
      Probably more information than you care to know lol

Thank you for all the info, it's great to learn more :) And yeah, I also noticed that you change the "th" to "ff" or "b" (like "ffink" instead of "think", or "wib" instead of "with"), and I find it lovely. I think I love Northern accents more than Southern's, 'cause appart from your Mancunian accent I love the accent from Liverpool and the Geordie accent too, I also like Jack O'Connell's accent (he's from Derby). And I *love* the scottish accents from Edinburgh and Glasgow (James McCavoy's and Grant Morrison's accent), which is kinda unintelligible, but I love it

    I have seen this document several times and it moves me every time to tear what these men had to experience in a little over a year. Now imagine what German soldiers would tell who were sometimes 4-5 years in service and were not regularly pulled from the front line to recover. I know many will not agree with me, but basically the German soldiers were only 18-22 year old boys who would rather have had a girlfriend at home than shoot others at war

    • @kwantoon
      @kwantoon 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Those German soldiers fought bravely as well. I always think of Shifty talking about them doing their job the same as he was doing his and under different circumstances they may have been good friends.
      Not all German soldiers were Nazis and seldom if ever do they get the recognition they deserved. Proud, brave young men that also sacrificed for their country. They will always have my respect.

    Lot of reasons replacements are resented but the most poignant reason...you only need replacements when you've lost a man already and that replacement is stepping into the hole in your heart where a friend once stood. No matter how good a replacement might be, it's hard to see them as being as good as the man you lost.

    The thing with replacements is that every time you see them you know they're there because they replaced your friend. Or maybe not even your friend, but your brother. You see them, you think of the man who died in the first place. Not a great position to be in, as a replacement.

  • @BlackHawk2901
    @BlackHawk2901 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    It’s hard to try to get friendly with someone that you don’t think will live to see the end of the week. The replacements were not yet battle hardened, and if battle hardened warriors were dropping left and right, it was difficult to expect them to make it very long

    You should’ve listened more closely to what he said about replacements. He didn’t say they resented them. He said he didn’t want to get to know them because he couldn’t stand to see them die. I believe he was saying that they were inexperienced and thus had less of a chance for surviving.

      PS: when doing reactions, you're basically having a discussion yourself which leads to tangents and talking in a broader way about the topic at hand. Sometimes that leads to passing thoughts being said out loud that would usually have been dismissed and forgotten if I were just watching the show, silently and alone.
