That is Very true also they were all hero's . I grew up with my grandfather and he was in the jungle for 5 years in PNG the stories he told me over the years were very touching. And the heros he spoke of. A great man
Even with them underplaying it, I was still like "yeah this is so unrealistic" during the last parts of the movie... until the very end when they were showing the actual guy.
The same thing happened with Audie Murphy who did movies based on things he personally did in WW2. He actually did these things but had to downplay his own heroics to make it look more believable.
I’m a former army medic, I remember Desmond Doss’s portrait is on the wall at the Combat medic museum, dudes basically a venerated saint for combat medics
Do you think it was his natural response to carry people like that. Idk if it was formal training mixed with farmer carries. People forget he was a farmer, farmer strength is no joke. My buddie growing up was a twig, but give him 2 sacks of feed n hell throw it over his back like doss,both of em. I tried helping him he told me, dont bother youll get hurt 😅😅.
@@tsa1tama he gets praise when they teach on him. There are some guys that are like “that’s bullshit he could have saved more lives if he picked up a rifle”.
Funny Andrew said at one point he wanted to get away from spiderman.... and then he ends up smacking the shit out that grenade... If that aint some spiderman shit lol
This movie was severely watered down, he actually saved about 150, but being humble in life he only took credit for 50, so they put 75 to honor him. There were some moments so incredible irl that they didn't even put it in the movie because people would think it was just movie theatrics, like when a Japanese soldier shot at Desmond as he was treating a wounded soldier, the gun jammed, Japanese soldier clears the jam and fires a shot into the ground to make sure it worked, aimed at Desmond again and the gun jammed a second time, making the Japanese soldier give up and move on. There were so many stories like that of his time up there it's crazy, at some point soldiers wouldn't even go up to the ridge if he wasn't going to be with them.
The part where Desmond on the Edge of the Ridge and asked the Lord, what is it what he wants him to do? Desmond heard words Medic someone was calling for Medic. Desmond knew what his Lord wanted him to do. Desmond got his Helmet and going into the explosions from the artillery shells from the Battleships. When he was going into the explosions it reminded me a verse. Psalm 23:4 “Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.”
I’m glad Desmond pursued the constitution and Gods law as far as he did. No great advocate for the truth ever had it easy. His pride wasn’t the sin kind, there was no malice; he experienced the Lords liberation in His commandment.
This is possibly one of my favorite hero’s of all time rest in peace Desmond doss and all who fought and died for their countries and what they believed in
The fact the creators of the movie actually TONED DOWN Doss's feats still blows my mind. The army's number showed Doss saved close to 150 people. Doss humbly disagreed stating it couldn't have been more than 50. They decided to compromise on the number of 75 saved. Just at Okinawa. He actually served a lot longer than that, all without carrying a gun, while starving due to being a vegetarian. He was eventually discharged because his legs got shredded. He contracted TB while in recovery as well. At least two japanese soldiers experienced weapon malfunction while attempting to kill Doss. Everytime they would aim at him and pull the trigger the gun would jam. Aimed somewhere else and fired, gun worked, aimed back at Doss, weapon jammed. Then all the reports of men refusing to go in to the field without Doss praying for them. One time, two squads, one consisting of Doss went out. The squad without Doss, not a single man returned. When Doss's squad returned, they asked how many they lost. They couldn't believe it when 0 casualties were reported from Doss's squad. Near the end when he was officially removed from active combat, in his final battle, his legs were so shredded he could no longer walk, and he ended up with a broken arm. He splinted his arm with a broken rifle barrel he found. And while crawling, he continued to treat injured soldiers. He consistently surrendered his own stretcher for other wounded men. Including one time they were carrying him off the field and he demanded the medics stop and take another soldier first. At one point, he lost his bible in the field and was heartbroken. The men in his squad went straight back to an active warzone and searched for 3 days to find his bible. Go watch the Conscientious Objector documentary on YT. If you are interested in Doss it is the best source of info.
3:26 his father at the cemetery was not mad about not being recognized as a service member, about not getting respect. He was mad about surviving the war when his friends didn’t. It is also called survivor’s guilt, it can be and usually is a part of PTSD. Although this wasn’t known back then and the majority is service men that had it, suffered in silence.
My grandfather was a WWI veteran, was severely injured fighting the Germans in France, was hospitalized and made it back home. He became a heavy drinker and died 40 years later--he had gas blister burns on his body and, as it turned out, there were internal sores from that blister as well as the poison gas he swallowed. I can't imagine how fucked up he was.
Nothing but respect for all the soldiers who fought in World War 1 and World War 2, We have no idea how lucky we are to not have to be going through something like that now.
I remember when I first saw this movie and also recommended on someone’s Chanel to react to it years ago and now I’m so happy it’s showing all over Chanel’s. God is good all the time.
If you haven't seen them yet, then y'all would love Saving Private Ryan and Dunkirk. They're two amazing war movies that show the true hell that was the European theatre of WW2.
I served in Kuwait and Iraq as a combat medic. I truly believe I couldn't shine this medic's Boots...the greatest generation saved us from the Germans and the Japanese in the Pacific.
When his father comes in and speaks is one of my favorite scenes in this because that's how vets are treated to this day and it's fucked. Yet they wond why their recruitment numbers are dwindling...
Or could it be because veterans are treated like garbage, they get paid nothing, the government doesn't give a shit about them, the VA basically doesnt exist and the government keeps getting involved with worthless conflicts?@@theveryworstluck1894
@@theveryworstluck1894 LMAO, more like the healthy people are going to jobs that actually respect them, so the military is being forced to lower their standards because the people that would otherwise meet their high standards are smart enough to stay the fuck away.

@@theveryworstluck1894or it’s because people are starting to realize that it’s not worth it to go and risk your life for a government that doesn’t care for you
As a former combat soldier, I always had respect for medics. Not just because they'd save me when I get hit, but because it is always easier to make holes than to patch them. The same goes with the whole world... it is easier to be evil and hateful than mindful and kind.
It most certainly IS a true story ... not just based on those events. Actually, they said they had to leave some of his heroic acts out of the movie because people would find it unbelievable! He was a true American hero in every sense of the word!!!!!
The Pacific battles were always no holds bar events. The Japanese did not sign the Geneva Convention rules of war and committed many war crimes on both civilians and enemy combatants. You saw 3 in Hacksaw Ridge. 1. Targeting medics. In Saving Private Ryan you notice that the Germans didn't deliberately target medics. The Japanese actually paid a bounty to soldiers that killed medics. 2. Killing wounded soldiers. 3. Using a white flag to attack the enemy. At the beginning of the movie Andtew Garfield is reciting a Bible passage from the book of Isiah. Towards the end of the movie you Desmond do some unbelievable things under unbelievable conditions. First consider that 1. He was a vegetarian and therefore didn't have the extended energy that protein provides, 2. He contacted tuberculosis while overseas which was diagnosed in 1946. During the battle he had to fight back coughing so as not to alert the enemy, 3. Desmond was not a big man. He was 5'8" tall and weighed 145 lbs. NOW go back to Isiah 40: 28-31. "...the Lord gives strength to the weak...they will not grow weary." FINALLY consider that in a 12 hour period Desmond carried, dragged, and lowered a minimum of 11,250 pounds (assuming a minimum weight for each man 150 lbs X 75 men = 11,250 lbs. minimum.) Where did Desmond get the strength and stamina to do what he did? Does the answer lie in Isiah?
Another true war movie that reenacts an actual battle, which I believe everyone would like to see you guys react to, is "We Were Soldiers" with Mel Gibson.
Not that we need to have the same convictions as Desmond - but the world sure needs us to have the conviction to stand for what we believe against all odds like Desmond.
Many stories about this man has not been in the movie, yet if someone told me that this guy saved more than what was recorded. I'd believe it. As someone who served in the military aswell, i never thought that a war can be fought without having to take a life, rather save it.😮
Iwo jima guadal canal, okinawa hacksaw the list goes on, young men as young as 16 volunteered to go to war. America is free because of these young men. Kneeling to our flag is disrespectful to their sacrifice.
Dying to stop fascism isn't dying to bring fascism to their own country. Stop it, get some help, it's just a colored cloth that represents a governing body of people who don't care about you.
One of the parts of the story they had to cut out was actually Desmond's unit. The 77th ID was actually an experimental unit comprised of entirely above normal age troops. One of them was 55 and a WWI veteran even. They were an amazing unit, up to and including the Marine Corps on Guadalcanal claiming them as Marines. The Fat Electrician does an amazing video on the 77th.
So this entire movie and all the comments praise Desmond. I'll inform you of his unit the 77th Infantry Division 'The Old Bastards' that after being stuck in desserts and mountain and river lands for nearly a year some of them died there. Before this battle they went around to another island took out an enemy airfield and prevented an operation of kamikaze boats. They were such an elite unit that after they fought with Marines they and only they earned the moniquer of 77th marine division
This movie is honestly an amazing depiction of an amazing man. Even if they played some things down and tweaked some things, I still love it. Probably one of my favorite war movies
Great reaction guys! I live near where he was born and raised. He was on our local news many times during this movie 🎥. God calls on many, very few hear His voice
I love this Hacksaw Ridge. Another War film you should checkout is Sergeant York (1941). Another war film based on a true story about another CO that also became a war hero. Gary Cooper won Best Actor for his portrayal of Sergeant York and the real Sergeant York handpicked Gary Cooper to play him in the film.
The most important moment in the movie, to me, was when the other guy says "But you didn't pull the trigger" and Doss replies "In my heart I did." He knew he was capable of killing but he vowed to never do it.
This is why I get fighting mad whe our Veterans are disrespected and pushed aside by our Government and the Citizens of the Country that the gave everything to protect!
Dudes genuinely an Angel. I may not believe in God anymore but for Doss to have the strength to carry that many men by himself with shattered arms and legs, for days no protection is actually insane to think about. There was definitely some divine work at play right there. God bless
To me, Hacksaw Ridge is the greatest WW2 movie ever made. Its not straight up Hollywood propaganda like Saving Private Ryan. This movie is about a real man doing extraordinary things.
I hope you guys watched Society of The Snow, one of the best movie in 2023 (it based on famous real event). The survivors involved w the actors to give them insights, even the real families of the survivors cameo in the movie. It’s a homage for the survivors & those who died, there are actual photos at the end credits.
I have to say ultimate respect to you all for doing war movie reactions - because it is just so important even more so of your sort of age range, that recognition is given to these movies where so much sacrifice was given and of course amongst some of the wars gone before sadly where those that served at the time were let down in one way or another. I wonder would you all consider doing reaction to Battle of Britain, the whole movie is on TH-cam already but no reactor has ever done a reaction to it only ever seen someone do reaction to the opening scene. Admittedly it is obviously a much older movie but it is highly regarded as 1 of the greatest depictions of that period of WW2 when the RAF ultimately prevailed in stopping Hitlers Luftwaffe from wiping them out to conquer the skies of Britain for invading. It has a huge list of all star top name cast of the time and as said is hugely brilliant and faithful film to the events of the period, just huge shame as yet no one done reaction to it.
"ev wold never" "he wouldnt be there in the 1st place" "yeah" lmao love yalls synergy, have watched since MHA days and always love the group. I don't know if it is intentional but yall seem to argue less than the willpower days which makes watching easier at times but ngl sometimes I miss the RT TV courtroom arguing lmaoo
The real Desmond Doss which the movie doesn't talk about is really tragic. In 1946, Mr. Doss contracted tuberculosis and was in a military hospital for 5 1/2 years. He had to have a lung and 5 ribs removed. He was discharged in 1951 and was given 90% VA disability. He continued to be given antibiotic treatment until the early 70's where an antibiotic overdose made his deaf. He retrieved 100% VA disability after that. He got a cochelar implant in 1988 where he regained In 1991, his first wife that you saw in the movie contracted cancer and while taking her to the hospital for treatment, his car hydroplaned in the rain and she died in the accident. Mr. Doss did remarry and died in 2006 at the age of 87.
"You read that he saved 75..." He thought it was less, but witnesses said that it was a lot more - so the army split the difference to come up with the number. IMO it doesn't much matter because saving even ONE in that situation was still a major achievement.
Hat's off to the cast and crew who helped out this film together. The only detail that they couldn't get would be the smell of death and for that would have been present there. Also hats off t to you guys with your commentary, very respectful. Another Mel Gibson must watch is Apocalyp to. It's not in English but the dialogue with the captions is easy enough to follow throughout the film
You should consider reacting to The Fat Electrician. He provides true stories about American exceptionalism during war time from the creation of the Marines (The Barbary Pirates), and the most gangsta Marine, Dan Daly, to the US Navy destroying 1/2 of Iran's navy in 8 hours, and "World War Tree" (that isn't a misspelling). He is a fantastic storyteller, very funny, and all the stories he tells are true.
Need yall to react to band of brothers and the pacific, those 2 are THE best war movies/mini-series, like similar to saving private ryan but actual historically accurate
You gents missed the point of the Court Marshal. Doss had the RIGHT to not bear arms and they tried to put him in prison for exercising his rights. They were absolutely in the wrong for that.
Thats one thing when Doss puts the helmet strap on, i remember hearing that was not encouraged because the concussion of a bomb could blow there helmet off, and their head with it.
This "Group" behave as if this was from a video game and not depiction of REAL LIFE. I suspect they might be the first to devolve into a blubbering mass in real life.
That's the power of faith: When the Good Lord is with you, nothing is impossible. God bless Desmond Doss and his family! God bless all the courageous veterans with nerves of steel who risked everything and sacrificed so much to protect our countries and preserve the freedoms we enjoy today! God bless all the souls - military and civilian - that we have lost in times of war! God bless America! God bless us all and grant us peace!
The heroics this man displayed and they had to deplay some of the acts he did because it wouldn’t be believable, like for example he carried all those wounded men with a bulletproof in his shoulder
Actually, Desmond Doss Was The SECOND Conscientious Objector To Receive The Medal Of Honor!! The First Was Sergeant Alvin C. York, During World War I!!
Desmond was a true hero among hero's Every island was a horror in the pacific , fortunately my uncles survived though 37,000 men were wounded and 12, 000 men were killed on that island
20:39 unfortunately that act wasn’t saving his life, it was taking the pain away for the last few minutes. He did him a mercy, not a favor. But all the same, both acts take courage beyond imagination

I love this movie and your guys commentary’s!!!
Great reaction guys! I live near where he was born and raised. He was on our local news many times during this movie 🎥. God calls on many, very few hear His voice
I love this Hacksaw Ridge. Another War film you should checkout is Sergeant York (1941). Another war film based on a true story about another CO that also became a war hero. Gary Cooper won Best Actor for his portrayal of Sergeant York and the real Sergeant York handpicked Gary Cooper to play him in the film.
The most important moment in the movie, to me, was when the other guy says "But you didn't pull the trigger" and Doss replies "In my heart I did." He knew he was capable of killing but he vowed to never do it.
This is why I get fighting mad whe our Veterans are disrespected and pushed aside by our Government and the Citizens of the Country that the gave everything to protect!
Desmond "Let me get one more" Doss
Dudes genuinely an Angel.
I may not believe in God anymore but for Doss to have the strength to carry that many men by himself with shattered arms and legs, for days no protection is actually insane to think about. There was definitely some divine work at play right there. God bless
Heros are not born, They are FORGED in FIRE!
This is why they were referred to as "The Greatest Generation"
Good review guys.
To me, Hacksaw Ridge is the greatest WW2 movie ever made. Its not straight up Hollywood propaganda like Saving Private Ryan. This movie is about a real man doing extraordinary things.
I hope you guys watched Society of The Snow, one of the best movie in 2023 (it based on famous real event). The survivors involved w the actors to give them insights, even the real families of the survivors cameo in the movie. It’s a homage for the survivors & those who died, there are actual photos at the end credits.
I have to say ultimate respect to you all for doing war movie reactions - because it is just so important even more so of your sort of age range, that recognition is given to these movies where so much sacrifice was given and of course amongst some of the wars gone before sadly where those that served at the time were let down in one way or another. I wonder would you all consider doing reaction to Battle of Britain, the whole movie is on TH-cam already but no reactor has ever done a reaction to it only ever seen someone do reaction to the opening scene. Admittedly it is obviously a much older movie but it is highly regarded as 1 of the greatest depictions of that period of WW2 when the RAF ultimately prevailed in stopping Hitlers Luftwaffe from wiping them out to conquer the skies of Britain for invading. It has a huge list of all star top name cast of the time and as said is hugely brilliant and faithful film to the events of the period, just huge shame as yet no one done reaction to it.
I remember at my Catholic school my teacher showed us this movie and it instantly became one of my favorites
The Amazing Medic Soldier
No hate fr but Y'all talked through the best parts 😭
Whoever is doing these thumbnails is killing it ngl
"ev wold never"
"he wouldnt be there in the 1st place"
"yeah"
lmao love yalls synergy, have watched since MHA days and always love the group. I don't know if it is intentional but yall seem to argue less than the willpower days which makes watching easier at times but ngl sometimes I miss the RT TV courtroom arguing lmaoo
still find it crazy what a human being can do to another human being. as long as humans exist, there will always be conflict.
I practice the same religion as Desmond. It was nice to have representation. I dont see much movies and an Adventist
Rob really mad at Americans winning. Lol
He's that woke??? 😂
@@thepimp31 Guess so
The real Desmond Doss which the movie doesn't talk about is really tragic. In 1946, Mr. Doss contracted tuberculosis and was in a military hospital for 5 1/2 years. He had to have a lung and 5 ribs removed. He was discharged in 1951 and was given 90% VA disability. He continued to be given antibiotic treatment until the early 70's where an antibiotic overdose made his deaf. He retrieved 100% VA disability after that. He got a cochelar implant in 1988 where he regained In 1991, his first wife that you saw in the movie contracted cancer and while taking her to the hospital for treatment, his car hydroplaned in the rain and she died in the accident. Mr. Doss did remarry and died in 2006 at the age of 87.
one of the best movies ever made fr
"You read that he saved 75..." He thought it was less, but witnesses said that it was a lot more - so the army split the difference to come up with the number. IMO it doesn't much matter because saving even ONE in that situation was still a major achievement.
Hat's off to the cast and crew who helped out this film together. The only detail that they couldn't get would be the smell of death and for that would have been present there. Also hats off t to you guys with your commentary, very respectful.
Another Mel Gibson must watch is Apocalyp to. It's not in English but the dialogue with the captions is easy enough to follow throughout the film
13 hours, and fury are both amazing as well
You should consider reacting to The Fat Electrician. He provides true stories about American exceptionalism during war time from the creation of the Marines (The Barbary Pirates), and the most gangsta Marine, Dan Daly, to the US Navy destroying 1/2 of Iran's navy in 8 hours, and "World War Tree" (that isn't a misspelling). He is a fantastic storyteller, very funny, and all the stories he tells are true.
Need yall to react to band of brothers and the pacific, those 2 are THE best war movies/mini-series, like similar to saving private ryan but actual historically accurate
My nephew is named Desmond Doss Sisson in his honor. One of the greatest American heroes.
Never compromise what you believe in. 💯
Rttv react to kingsman secret service
Desmond Doss was a true American Hero ❤🎉
After the war, he didn't talk about it until the men he saved put the spotlight on him.
With all the buzz around helldivers 2 rn yall should watch Starship Troopers
Thanks for the video. I enjoyed it.
You gents missed the point of the Court Marshal. Doss had the RIGHT to not bear arms and they tried to put him in prison for exercising his rights. They were absolutely in the wrong for that.
Court Martial.
as trained combat medic in my youth, this film hits really close.
Thats one thing when Doss puts the helmet strap on, i remember hearing that was not encouraged because the concussion of a bomb could blow there helmet off, and their head with it.
This "Group" behave as if this was from a video game and not depiction of REAL LIFE. I suspect they might be the first to devolve into a blubbering mass in real life.
Bro yaw should start band of brothers it’s an amazing war series and soooo underrated!
Hope you guys actually check out 1917. Probably my favorite war movie ever!
Saw this in cinema back in 2016. It was scary seeing it for the first time but amazing movie. Probably My fav War movie
That's the power of faith: When the Good Lord is with you, nothing is impossible. God bless Desmond Doss and his family! God bless all the courageous veterans with nerves of steel who risked everything and sacrificed so much to protect our countries and preserve the freedoms we enjoy today! God bless all the souls - military and civilian - that we have lost in times of war! God bless America! God bless us all and grant us peace!
The heroics this man displayed and they had to deplay some of the acts he did because it wouldn’t be believable, like for example he carried all those wounded men with a bulletproof in his shoulder
Actually, Desmond Doss Was The SECOND Conscientious Objector To Receive The Medal Of Honor!! The First Was Sergeant Alvin C. York, During World War I!!
If you guys have not watched it yet you guys have to watch band of brothers! Awesome reaction to this movie. Loved it!
I'm not a Christian, but if I were, I would want to be like Desmond. He is everything a Christian SHOULD be.
Desmond was a true hero among hero's
Every island was a horror in the pacific , fortunately my uncles survived though 37,000 men were wounded and 12, 000 men were killed on that island
Awesome movie, good reaction dudes
20:39 unfortunately that act wasn’t saving his life, it was taking the pain away for the last few minutes. He did him a mercy, not a favor. But all the same, both acts take courage beyond imagination
Perfect film, Mel Gibson is an incredible director. Amongst the best
Since you guys enjoy war movies will you guys ever react to Band of Brothers, The Pacific or the currently airing Masters of the Air???
This is one of my most favorite movie.
