the tracking shots, the blood effects, the garbled English on the police radios, the panic in a cop's voice. this is how you make real impacts on a lower budget show
Yes, it’s very reminiscent of footage from Lower Manhattan on September 11th. Sirens blaring from all around, coming & going; radios chirping & crackling; booming & banging as beams buckle then break; windows smashing, shit exploding, shit falling out of the sky; bodies raining down; people screaming, running to & fro; Cops, Paramedics, & Firemen coming from every which way; helicopter blades chopping above. All a similar cacophony of chaos, being even more intense, for unfortunately it was not just a television show.
Could have done without the cliche “we’re here to help you so put the gun down” notion. Like it’s a school shooting people are already dead and they’ve been shooting back at you and your partner. The chances that they’re just going to give up quietly at this point is extremely unlikely lol
It still weirds me out, this was filmed in my high school. Yes its an actual school, not a set. I recognize every hallways, every room and where the stairs are.
I recall the responders from the Pulse Nightclub shooting mentioning that the worst/saddest thing about being on the scene right after a shooting are all the cell phones constantly going off on the dead bodies from people trying to make sure their loved ones are okay.
That was fucking sad, and the fact this happened irl is even more fucking sad and all of the kids didnt even got a chance to be their dream job, and their moms are probably crying after they heared that their one or fav son got killed bc of this
same here. popped up in my recommended and i was just like, huh seems interesting ill watch. i thought it was gonna be one of those short films people do but the quality was too good to be. all in all very good show it seems like so ill have to give it a watch fr
for real this is outstanding. it's not dramatic for the sake of being dramatic, the events sell the "drama" by itself, and on top of that, their dialogues are very believable and relatable. 10/10, i'd go higher if i could
This gotta be the most complex school layout ever. My school was legit one long ass hallway with smaller hallways shooting off to the sides for each subject
I like how the police are depicted accurately by being scared of the situation but still doing the job. Too many cops in too many shows/movies are billy badass with no realistic human emotion. That isn’t the case with this scene, that’s what makes the scene captivating
No matter how cliche some of the lines are, the fact that almost all the cops seem very scared of going in the school is super realistic, and I like that. Pretty good work here.
They convey the fear but also the confusion. They don’t know the layout of the school, they don’t know how many shooters, barely what the shooter looks like, what he has in his arsenal etc. Which of course adds to the fear. This was very well done, almost to well done. It was hard to watch.
This kid wit the headphones around the 16:20 ish mark really pissed me off. The whole shooting scene was great but the fucking clueless kid with headphones. How does that work? he avoided all the places that were affected by the gunshots or somthing? The headphones might have blocked out the gunshots, but I am sure he heard screaming...
@@ranimdude Well if the gunshots were heard that loudly outside everyone inside should have heard them. This scene seems to be based in the early 2000s ( 1999-2004ish ) so i dont think bro has the sound canceling headset. Just being picky tho I think this scene did school shootings much better than most Hollywood. I am glad they did not chuck a music track over this as well.
I don’t normally comment on TH-cam videos but the kid laying down at the entrance of the auditorium at 9:47 is me!! I sat there for 13 hours straight, no joke! Truly one of the coolest / scariest thing I’ve been apart of in my life. Not going to lie, the echo of the shots in the auditorium had my head buzzing by the end of the day… but what a day it was! It truly put me into the unfortunate perspective of what real life school shootings look / sound like. Absolute terror all around. Shooting this scene in one shot took us all day, 28 min is a longgg time without any interruptions!! For the people who are curious, this was filmed in Montreal, Québec :) ! Cheer’s and have a great day !
from a filmmaking perspective, this is one of the best choreographed one-take scenes I've ever seen. from a human perspective, this is one of the most powerful scenes I've ever seen.
What makes this harder to watch is that this is a situation that can and has happened in real-life, and it's tragic. This scene does a wonderful job capturing the horror of school shootings.
If an incident like this occurred where a shooter was allowed to basically galavant their way around a school, the responding police would be lambasted to hell and back. Oh wait…
@@brandonwilliams6221 It has, and it was catastrophic and tragic. 😬😬😬 The Uvalde "police officers" failed the children and their families at every level. 😞😓
The anti-climatic ending was perfect. There's no round of applause and dramatic music as he "saves the day". Just the realization that it's over and the magnitude of what happened. In situations like this, those cops don't go home feeling like heroes. They go home knowing they will never be the same, and not in a good way
Yeah for real. No heroes or victory whatsoever in this situation. I mean yeah it’s great that they got the guy, but the aftermath of trauma and eternal sadness of something so devastating will haunt everyone forever. I absolutely couldn’t fathom being in this situation, can’t imagine how terrifying that must be.
@@blindsidexv6244 not to mention, although he saved plenty of kids right there and then, he had to kill a kid in order to do it. Cops rarely kill without getting ptsd in general, imagine what it’d do to your psyche to kill someone who isn’t even 18-19
the way he stops and stares at the corpse before calling it in that they got him, makes it seem like the shooter was his brother or nephew or something
"Put the gun down you're surrounded" was said legitimately like 7 times and the guy just casually walked into the next room and escaped into a whole additional labyrinth.
@@SchackalLeFouIts a Canadian show, its kinda why they’re speaking English bro 🤣 like and don’t even say its Dubbed over because that is a factually incorrect statement.
"where are you?" "i dont fucking know!" really shows how terrifying this is. the only officer who would know the layout of the school is the resource officer, which I don't think they have in Canada.
My school had like 2000 students and we never had one, at least not that I know of. Although our school layout was very easy to navigate so I don’t think we would of needed one lol
To think these actors can perform such realistic scenes like these and then turn around and do a show like Letterkenny is nothing short of amazing talent.
The acting really is great, but whoever put this scene together is smoking some gnarly shit. That shooter would have been dead a dozen times over in the USA or Canada.
Jesus christ this was terrifying. The gunshots literally had me jumping in my seat. They nailed both the visuals and the sound design. No music. No unrealistic gun sounds. Just raw terror.
the gun sounds were kinda unrealistic tbh, cuz out of a short barreled 5.56 rifle like that the kid and anyone within a 2 room radius would be deafened but i digress, its a school shooting so this comment is in poor taste anyway
Scenes like this should make you realise that police officers actually go through this and not just Act it, you get the peace of mind that everyone and everything, all shots and all blood is fake. Thats not what you get in a real situation, everything is real. Being a police officer is incredibly mentally draining.
This is how you write, direct, edit, and act a scene in a way that's perfect. Close to no music or jump cuts to take you out of it. It isn't real, yet it's absolutely terrifying and gut-wrenching. I seriously hope this show won awards
The scream at 26:34 Witnessing the murder of an unarmed and innocent child. Just hearing the scream is heartbreaking and disturbing. “No parent should ever have to bury their child.” - King Theoden
One of the best single shots in film history. Seriously. 12 minutes, through multiple rooms with tons of extras, gunfire, dead and wounded extras, inside and out, multiple characters. TOP NOTCH DIRECTION and execution
Yes the quality is way too high. It's realistic to that extend. Music is used correctly. The operative was depicted to a certain degree of accuracy where many units where barring the area simultaneously. It's not about how big is your budget but how good is your script writer, your writers and the director. That makes the true difference.
What I love the most about this is the fact the officers, who are trained to do this, are obviously panicked and terrified of a few teenagers with guns. Anything could happen, to them or to the students inside. They breathe hard, reassure themselves, and move cautiously. Despite their fear, they move in no matter what. Bravery isn’t men just being stoic, but also being very scared yet still doing their jobs.
yeah and this is why i hate people saying all cops are bad with a job in all 50 states there wil be bad people but that dosen tmake the whole wrong my least favrite part of this is that they dont have rifles of their own they are going agest a teenager with a rifel with pistols 9mm by the looks this is why they need high caliber wepons
I’m sure it’s been said several times but for anyone wanting to know why they very rarely stopped to render aid, as a law enforcement officer, in a situation with an active shooter, we’re trained that regardless of the casualties, our #1 goal is to neutralize the threat. We are not to stop and render aid for anyone as long as there is actively a threat present. The scene where the officer picks the girl up and takes her outside is a completely rare event. He did what some would do. He saved a life. Absolutely amazing job by the directors while making this scene. Absolutely incredible.
Which is the saddest part of all of this to me. Not the fact that they don't stop but the fact that most of the cops didn't do anything to stop the threat. Most waited outside or just disappeared, the two main guys so many chances to end the threat but didn't because they either didn't shoot or took to long
@@ninjkitywarlock6337 if there weren't any cops outside maybe the shooter could've slipped outside and shot everyone else also, but some the cops just standing around though
THAT is a lot of generalization. It's ONLY valid for the FIRST on-scene officers or whatever the assault team is made of. It's a procedure that the police calls "Rapid Deployment" in the USA. And it's a lot like in the infantry. You move on and let the follow on support take care of the wounded. EVEN if the threat is STILL active, you just secure zones or areas and keep on pushing. The support personnel just follow into the cleared zones and starts evacuating and treating the casualties. Waiting until the event is over before taking care of the casualties when the event is NOT happening in cleared areas would be criminal negligence. You need to be OBJECTIVE about these things. It's NOT all ON and OFF switches in life. There are IN-BETWEENS!!!
@@ninjkitywarlock6337 Christ is it infuriating to think about that. I can’t imagine the rage a survivor of a school shooting must feel knowing that the police stood by while children died.
This is eerily realistic. For those who don’t understand why the show depicts the officers not helping out injured kids once they get to them, here’s why: the number one rule in combat medicine is that the best form of medicine is fire superiority. You have to neutralize/suppress the threat before you can render any aid, or else you could become yet another casualty. This scene accurately depicts the very, very difficult decision of having to walk past bleeding out victims in order to actively engage the shooter and bring the threat down, that way first responders can safely begin rendering medical aid. Nobody ever wants to have to be in this situation, yet this is a day to day reality for first responders/military personnel in active combat zones. God bless those who do this for a living.
Correct. This is standard police training when it comes to active shooter threats. Active shooter threats are handled the complete opposite of a barricaded subject or a hostage situation (where time is the ally of the officer).
In this show the officers could have easily taken multiple shots that would have prevented multiple students deaths. It's like they don't trust their aim from 10 meters, which is appalling as that is extremely close for combat.
Yeah but my question is why does nobody have at least a shotgun or a assault rifle this an activer shooter with an AR you are going to need a bigger weapon for a bigger caliber for things like this. Also where is swat? I know it’s meant to be dark and people are calling this realistic but the more I look over it and think about it shows me that it’s not that realistic
Whoever wrote this deserves an Emmy. The fact you get to know the characters, and care about them, even though there's not a lot of dialog and it's a dramatic action scene, is incredible. Great direction, acting on all parts too.
Wow, all this in a single shot without cuts is incredible, all the effort and all the organization from the director is simply on another level. Very good work.
I know it sounds bad, but this is the kind of stuff that actually makes an impact on people. You can play videos all you want about an attacker who doesn't seriously fight back, but the blood, chaos, and fear make this more impactful than actual in-school warnings.
They nailed the incompetence of police as well lol. No once can prepare for this but making police train longer than 6 months would certainly help, in my opinion.
@@ReaperOnRepo Incompetence? Training is much different from actual gunfire from an actual gun. No one ever knows how someone will actually react when in these kind of situations, no matter how much training you receive. Simply because you feel you'd do a lot better does not mean you really will.
@@ReaperOnRepo from what I know, at least with Canadian police forces like RCMP, public shooters are really the only scenario where law enforcement are told there lives are secondary, they are told don’t take cover, if you see something like a pipe bomb on the floor you just run over it and pray it doesn’t explode, they won’t stop for injured people, and if it take an entire detachment of officers to die to eliminate the threat (whether it is killing them or an arrest) then that is what it will take. From the get go they are told what is at stake, most officers in training will understand what it means when “your life is a secondary priority”, soldiers who switched to police have even said it’s more intense than any training they go through (maybe except for soldiers who went through special forces training), so at least for RCMP by the time they get to the school or building or wherever the shooter is it will be over in minutes, and honestly once the shooter knows the police are there they will end up killing themselves.
The ending when he shakily turns on the radio again and announces the death of the killer, has to be one of my favorite scenes. Cause they don't rejoice and don't cheer like some 80s superman film. He still has the trauma fresh in his mind and knowing the cleanup that comes after and everything, he knows the job is far from done. The horror he has witnessed must be one of the worst. Such a heartbreaking moment.
And the second fact that even though the kid/shooter did something unspeakable, you feel both the utmost hatred and sympathy for him. You can’t ever truly tell if someone is just truly evil or something happened that rocked his core enough to do this.
10/10 acting and 10/10 cameraworks. Almost no cuts at all at this scene, really made us the viewers feel the tension and terrifying situations. Simply amazing.
Just got this recommended ib my feed, how the heck is this show and specifically this episode not very famous and well-known? Such a moving and terrifying episode. Well done.
My school thought it was a smart idea to have a fake school shooting situation, without telling any of the staff members. We went on to lockdown and everybody around me was crying. We all thought people that we knew were going to die, people were texting their parents and trying to check local news outlets. My school later had to apologize for the incident and send a letter home to parents about it. It was such a scary situation I just can’t even begin to imagine how scary it is for it to be real.
This just came to my feed randomly as I’m spending the day home due to high fever and strong body aches and what an amazing piece. I haven’t felt this immersed in something in years.
Yeah and what little music that was there only made it better, this scene was done absolutely phenomenally, the only issue I see is that some of the cover the shooter used could’ve easily been penetrated by the 9mm that those officers had same with the cover the officers had
The fact they pulled this off *twice*, once in the french version and a second time in the english version, is simply incredible. The first 12 minute shot is actually done in one single take, at least according to many who worked on the set. Took several attempts to get it right.
@@gimpyrules6714 many of the actors on set confirmed it was done in a single long continuous shot, along with Podz, the director, who actually came back to do the scene again in the English version
@@adamdion7574 the actors don't know how the actual shit is edited moron And most people don't do one takes because it's so hard, and with it being that long, no, a TV crew isn't gonna pull that off I also looked it up, found no evidence of it being a one take They just made it look like a one take
Seeing the police obviously scared but never hesitating to go in the school damn near brought a tear to my eye. It's coming out now that the police failed MASSIVELY during the elementary school shooting in Uvalde, Texas this week. Shit is unbelievable.
They weren't that good in my opinion. They carry themselves in the cherry-picked police fashion that a lot of shows like to capture. It's mainstream acting. I wish we could see some realistic acting but I understand part of the appeal for all media in general is drama. Being realistic can often be boring.
@@ReaperOnRepo well... As someone who was actually in school during a shooting in cali. And now a cop in Texas. This is very accurate. So not sure what the fuck you think you know. But I joy your ignorance bud.
I have a lot of respect for everybody who worked on this entire sequence. It must have taken so long and could not have been easy for anyone, especially for all the actors who had the responsibility of portraying a situation like this as realistically as possible. Every single crew member and actor deserve high praise for the fantastic job they did here.
@@SparklyTwo I don't necessarily do it all day.. maybe on occasion but i view suffering as real, i know i wouldn't want to be shot and everyone in the school surely doesn't want to be shot either, it's still exhilarating and i enjoy the idea of being in a situation like that.
@@ANKDrew Hey now the suffering and pain of loss isn't happening directly to me, unless my family was there too, but in that case I'd just not even think about it but it can't hurt me.
The way there are almost no jump cuts through this scene is just chilling, as well as the way they deliberately only have shots pop off when they are *not* in view. It puts you right there. Very immersive cinematography.
@@n0tjake95 It's strange that these things don't happen in the "gun loving" part of the U.S., you can shit on the yanks all you want but there are clear links between rampant mental illness in their country and these events, and the places where it's harder to get a gun are far more likely to experience gun related crimes.
As an 8th grader this is my worst nightmare. I was at the Kansas City Chiefs Parade shooting last February. I fear that this could happen at my school and it terrifies me. It’s honestly so messed up that I have these fears, it shouldn’t be this way.
"where are you" "I DONT FUCKING KNOW" this show is so fucking REAL dude holy shit, their emotions are palpable i can feel the fear they are feeling this is an amazing show, also the way it is shot is so unique, almost no cuts, there are some but its rare, its just a camera man walking around a school being shot up, this was brilliant i really wanna see more of this show now
@@march9589 ok dude they are filiming a show, like this isnt actually happening so these emotions arent truly real, they are actors, im complimenting them on being great actors, they act like real people i BELIEVE it, they did a fantastic job, like ive seen footage of real police officers in life threatening situations and i gotta say they acted very similar to the actors in this show, the script writers and the actors were both doing amazing jobs
The "I don't fucking know" is one of the reasons that active shooter responder drills started doing training in high-risk buildings, instead of in their home ground or at 3rd party, non-related training sites. So that the responders who trained in those buildings could guide the ones that didn't around.
If this show was so real why would the cop be blind firing at a shooter with a hostage? If it were so real how come none of them acknowledged the fact that books are made out of bricks
I came across this randomly, I've never seen the show, but WOW this scene is masterfully shot. It brilliantly captures emotion, physical pain, fear, panic, uncertainty... I am amazed. It really puts you in the moment.
Oh my god the amount of chills I got at 16:00 when the officer ran after the kid with the headphones on to save him and all you hear is the humming of the hallway and nothing else....most amazing scenery and acting I’ve ever seen
I like how they don’t really show where the shooter is except for like one second because it puts you in a perspective of the people that are just as clueless as us
This is truly one of the greatest scenes ever shot on film and also one of the most horrifying…The director held nothing back when he decided to not only show dead teenagers lying everywhere with pools of blood but to also include the sheer realism of the screaming.
@@Aaron-ru6ld you think they don’t aim like that in real life? It’s accurate. It’s hard to aim well in a situation so intense, as well as when the enemy is shooting back at you.
@@ZackOrJim LOL "enemy" its a kid that has shittier aim than the cops. The cops aimed at the kid for a solid 10 seconds before even shooting. Shit scene.
Even knowing there’s most likely plenty of hidden cuts, the way they tied it all together into one seemingly continuous shot, 1917 style, was incredible. It all felt so real while also never seeming to stray away from real time. No jumps ahead in time, no falling behind. Truly terrifyingly real. Edit: ok, zero cuts for the first scene. Incredible
This was one of the most realistic, terrifying, and emotional scenes I have ever watched. To have never seen this show and just randomly stumbled upon this while scrolling through TH-cam and then instantly being hooked feeling so much emotion was absolutely incredible.
Terrifying, but not so realistic. I wish these frickin arsehole parents, that are threatening school board members, cared as much about school shootings, as they do about a little surgical mask mandate. But Freedumb and stuff.
Scary part is I'm one of those kids who wear headphones everywhere to block out the rest of the school, so I could see myself being that kid that was clueless.
For those who attend school, don’t expect cops to stop if you are injured. They don’t stop, their focus is to stop the shooter(s). If you can get out, get out. Stay strong & stay safe everyone.
@@hannahdyson7129 Not all injuries, even from a bullet, are lethal without immediate care. Also, if someone doesn’t stop the shooter, then more people will be hurt or killed
Neat thing is all the other officers follow this doctrine of finding the shooter first save one. The officer who saved the girl, JM, is made fun of by his other buddies for being a pussy and crumbling under pressure, so his ignoring of this actually coincides with his character arch in the show. Good show for anyone who hasn't seen it yet!
Active Shooter Training Rule #1 for LE. Stop/Kill the shooter. #2. Determine if more shooters present or any devices planted. Once those are met, THEN we provide first aid.
The horrible thing about this is that every day American students go to school and they don’t know if they will come back to their house. They fr got alarms for shooter attacks…
Props to the show for actually having the balls to film this scene. Not a lot of directors have what it takes to do this due to societal reasons. But this depicts the reality of a lot of situations and what any form of combat personnel has to go through.
Well they got away with it by having the man cop freeze up and the woman took action, thereby saving the day. You can get away with anything if you pander to feminists enough.
As someone who has never seen the show, this to me is like some sort of short film. No outside context, just this isolated story. And for some reason, that made it so much better. Being able to learn the names of the characters that I even learn of makes it feel as if I’m watching this from start to end. This is event is major. It’s a singularity. That’s the feeling I get with watching this without context. And damn is it ever good.
Its not watering down the plot for maximum audience appeal, or shoving useless melodrama into the script for filler screen time. It also isn't treating it's audience like a bunch of toddlers that require narrative spoon feeding. Some good TV right here.
It’s legitimately terrifying knowing that this is a bot account that was made specifically to comment on this subject on a TH-cam video.proves that this was pre planned

Filming was Ight bro step off. Also the acting was Ight. And the realistic of how they handled the situation, actually Hollywood acting. Nothing shown the show made an actual attempt to properly train the actors into how to work angles, breach, clears, coms. Everything is shit
The fact this is a thing I have to be afraid of happening. I have to live in constant fear that this could happen to me almost every day. Honestly breaks my heart.
I can't imagine how cops irl must feel every time they see innocent people getting killed in front of them. That last girl who got shot, and the white cop bowed his head down in disappointment is incredibly accurate, and I imagine many cops do that in these cases. Amazing acting, amazing camera work. Phenomenal.
@@ToxicMrSmith Oh, so you gained personal knowledge of millions of Police Officers in dozens of countries during their duty? Some miracle entity you must be.
@@ToxicMrSmith This is based on Canadian police so don't you worry, they aren't as crazy as the folks across the southern border. Well, not yet anyways.
This cinematography is nothing short of phenomenal. No music, no excess details, nothing that can distract you. Just footsteps, gunshots, lights buzzing, sirens and screams of pure anguish. There is not a single police officer with an ounce of Hollywood in them, no hard-core badass cops, and it's perfect. Never seen a more accurate portrayal of an event of this magnitude. It perfectly represents how things can go on the field, and that sometimes, there is no way to save everyone.
Props to the people that put this together. Never have I ever felt like I was ACTUALLY in a movie scene. That’s an incredible amount of skill to be able to do that. Not saying I’m an expert, but this is nowhere near the first time I’ve seen a scene like this.
The cut from the librarian backing into frame, going to the silent camera for her being shot, her body falling, into us hearing the aftermath is hauntingly powerful
This is the most realistic depiction of a school shooting I have ever seen. It felt like I was really there, there was no music, no exaggerated moments... just pure terror. It sickens me to think that people actually have to experience things like this. I've never watched this show before, but this was incredible. The acting, the long one-shot scenes, the fact that this was a one-take. I was speechless after watching this.
It's realistic to a point. The lack of music contributes to the gritty feel of it, but the actual events are well-suited to a Die Hard film. In reality, most active shootings don't go on this long unless police are slow to respond or the shooter finds a place to barricade themselves. More often they're a flash in the pan, such that by the time you know to be scared it's already over. Stoneman Douglas, for example, lasted all of six minutes. Columbine went on longer because it was novel and police didn't have an adequate contingency plan. They don't spend half an hour prowling the hallways, evading police, whilst picking off stragglers. If they have that luxury, they're not going to waste it by risking capture repeatedly. They'll either find a place to make their stand or attempt a getaway.
This is the rawest form of a reenactment I've ever witnessed, the acting is tucking incredible, the lack of music, or any added sounds and effects really puts you into this. I am blown away. (Ps. For all those STILL commenting on this, I was hella drunk when I watched this so take what I say as you will.)
@@mellifluous9356 he means raw as in there wasnt much music and the gun sounds of course they are editing but they arent just going to have real guns firing
i was mostly shocked until that one cop was carrying the girl out, sounding like he was on the verge of tears, telling her she’s gonna be ok. That’s when I literally almost cried
I wonder if it would've been more effective if the shooter committed suicide like they did in Columbine? I dunno much about film writing, but I feel like it would just make everything hurt more if, at the end, they didn't stop the shooter themselves - he just felt like it was time to end things
I saw in another reply that this was actually based on a real school shooting. If that is true, I just can't imagine how everyone who were there felt in that situation
@@Highskill3r y. and don't give some moral bs like "oh you're just as bad as him".. there should be something to deter their actions. torture would help at least a little
Realistically those two would rarely engage. Police can even wait half an hour of shootings just like they did in Texas, and blame all on the victims for not noticing the shooter days prior.
@@icepapermario99 No, the laws didn't change and police officers aren't obligated to protect the citizens. Nothing will change and the funding of that deliberately useless and authoritarian police will continue.
The algorithm sent me here. Didn't watch anything related to this, had no clue this show even existed, but curiosity got the better of me. I don't think I've ever held my breath for so long watching anything. I was absolutely terrified. God, every actor in this did a phenomenal job. Guess I've got a new series to watch now.
Me too. No idea how this was recommended, I don’t watch many police procedural dramas anymore. But. This is how our kids die now. Thank goodness my kids go to school in Australia. Not saying we’re immune, of course were not. But how is this so...acceptable to lobbyists and PACs and legislators?
@@joelmelissam I'm American and I couldn't even begin to tell you. Things like this seem to happen almost once a week, at least as far as media coverage is concerned, but somehow it always seems like the furthest things get is the nation essentially sending thoughts and prayers. It's really sad to see and is why a lot of people over here are scared to have children. At this point I'm honestly just thankful that everyone from my circles are either in universities or just out of school altogether. Doesn't matter how small the school or how backwoods your town might be, it almost feels like one of those "only a matter of time" things. Probably why this hit so hard.
Can we forget the one-liners and memes for a second and appreciate these scenes. The long continuous shots are so impressive, Scorsese would applaud them. And the choreography that goes into all these scenes is unbelievable. All the extras (kids) doing everything in perfect synchronization especially. This is the most real-feeling shooting scene I’ve ever seen in any sort of cinema.
Thinking about all the kids and the acting, and how close this hits, I’m wondering if there was a counselor on site. This would have been intense to film.
I especially like that at 19:22 the guy who says his partner “got scared” is met with an understanding nod. There’s no anger, and no one gets called a coward. They’re all scared shitless, and totally understand that some may not be up for the task.

Edit: They are still brave, they still move in to neutralize the target. If they were too scared they would've been hiding. Some cops even took 70 minutes to get past a single hallway in a real shooting, so this is written well

Whoever wrote the script and or acted as the shooter is ruthless. This is absolutely terrifying, traumatizing, and something I would never wish on someone.
What makes this more terrifying is that how an actual shooter would act. If they see a student, they shoot to do as much damage as possible. The shooter knows they won’t make it out alive, so to send the message they want, they kill as many as possible, some even take their own life to kill those around them.
as a british person. i feel like the adtors werent over reacting in this scene. ive never experienced or seen a school shooting and this is just too much to comprehend.
9:36 That cop has an insane change in attitude in this scene. He went from cowering behind a desk at the sound of bullets to running right back in. In rescuing that girl he realized that there would be others like her still in need of help and rushed back in, even though he was scared shitless. Props to the actor for being able to convey such a human reaction to this situation.
@@NavajoJoeFilms agreed. McMurray was a freaking hero. Alot of the cast of letterkenny in this show are heroes. We have Wayne, Bradley, Dierks, McMurray, although I didn't see him in this Devon is in it also and I swear the voice of the dispatcher was Coach. I could be wrong but when all cops outside were talking and dispatch was coming over the radio it sounded like the voice of Coach. If only he had worked in the word embarrassing I could've positively identified him.
@Jurassic Taunts stupid as shit, what’s the goal for the officers? stop the shooting. they will say anything to stop the shooting. that’s really all there is to it.
@Jurassic Taunts he’s just trying to draw him out to get a better shot , they’re not helping him in these situations you’ve got use everything at your disposal playing a little dirty is better than being surrounded by dead children.
It is founded in a Kernel of truth, if the shooter gives up there and then, it's less charges on them (though by then they've racked like 10 counts of murder and already are serving life.)

Theres no way thats one 12 minute shot but still amazing regardless
@@b1nary_f1nary you may be right. But, if so, the cut points are artfully hidden. Either way, a pretty amazing feat for a very unknown piece
The original french canadian version is even better. They asked Podz, the director of the original serie, to assist with this particular scene.
What I love the most about this is the fact the officers, who are trained to do this, are obviously panicked and terrified of a few teenagers with guns. Anything could happen, to them or to the students inside. They breathe hard, reassure themselves, and move cautiously. Despite their fear, they move in no matter what. Bravery isn’t men just being stoic, but also being very scared yet still doing their jobs.
yeah and this is why i hate people saying all cops are bad with a job in all 50 states there wil be bad people but that dosen tmake the whole wrong my least favrite part of this is that they dont have rifles of their own they are going agest a teenager with a rifel with pistols 9mm by the looks this is why they need high caliber wepons

Real cops aren’t like this
I’m sure it’s been said several times but for anyone wanting to know why they very rarely stopped to render aid, as a law enforcement officer, in a situation with an active shooter, we’re trained that regardless of the casualties, our #1 goal is to neutralize the threat. We are not to stop and render aid for anyone as long as there is actively a threat present. The scene where the officer picks the girl up and takes her outside is a completely rare event. He did what some would do. He saved a life. Absolutely amazing job by the directors while making this scene. Absolutely incredible.
Which is the saddest part of all of this to me. Not the fact that they don't stop but the fact that most of the cops didn't do anything to stop the threat. Most waited outside or just disappeared, the two main guys so many chances to end the threat but didn't because they either didn't shoot or took to long
@@ninjkitywarlock6337 if there weren't any cops outside maybe the shooter could've slipped outside and shot everyone else also, but some the cops just standing around though
THAT is a lot of generalization.
It's ONLY valid for the FIRST on-scene officers or whatever the assault team is made of. It's a procedure that the police calls "Rapid Deployment" in the USA. And it's a lot like in the infantry. You move on and let the follow on support take care of the wounded. EVEN if the threat is STILL active, you just secure zones or areas and keep on pushing. The support personnel just follow into the cleared zones and starts evacuating and treating the casualties.
Waiting until the event is over before taking care of the casualties when the event is NOT happening in cleared areas would be criminal negligence.
You need to be OBJECTIVE about these things. It's NOT all ON and OFF switches in life. There are IN-BETWEENS!!!

@@vincenttourangeau1836 wow usa people don't typically hear about those i guess
This is eerily realistic. For those who don’t understand why the show depicts the officers not helping out injured kids once they get to them, here’s why: the number one rule in combat medicine is that the best form of medicine is fire superiority. You have to neutralize/suppress the threat before you can render any aid, or else you could become yet another casualty.
This scene accurately depicts the very, very difficult decision of having to walk past bleeding out victims in order to actively engage the shooter and bring the threat down, that way first responders can safely begin rendering medical aid. Nobody ever wants to have to be in this situation, yet this is a day to day reality for first responders/military personnel in active combat zones. God bless those who do this for a living.
Correct. This is standard police training when it comes to active shooter threats. Active shooter threats are handled the complete opposite of a barricaded subject or a hostage situation (where time is the ally of the officer).
In this show the officers could have easily taken multiple shots that would have prevented multiple students deaths. It's like they don't trust their aim from 10 meters, which is appalling as that is extremely close for combat.
Yeah, we know. Lol
@@johnbean9797 10 meters with a pistol and someone who has an ar… say bye bye

@@bait5257 well a fact can be a bad fact. Not necessarily because the information is bad, but because of what the fact is about.
@@ReaperOnRepo from what I know, at least with Canadian police forces like RCMP, public shooters are really the only scenario where law enforcement are told there lives are secondary, they are told don’t take cover, if you see something like a pipe bomb on the floor you just run over it and pray it doesn’t explode, they won’t stop for injured people, and if it take an entire detachment of officers to die to eliminate the threat (whether it is killing them or an arrest) then that is what it will take. From the get go they are told what is at stake, most officers in training will understand what it means when “your life is a secondary priority”, soldiers who switched to police have even said it’s more intense than any training they go through (maybe except for soldiers who went through special forces training), so at least for RCMP by the time they get to the school or building or wherever the shooter is it will be over in minutes, and honestly once the shooter knows the police are there they will end up killing themselves.
The ending when he shakily turns on the radio again and announces the death of the killer, has to be one of my favorite scenes. Cause they don't rejoice and don't cheer like some 80s superman film. He still has the trauma fresh in his mind and knowing the cleanup that comes after and everything, he knows the job is far from done. The horror he has witnessed must be one of the worst. Such a heartbreaking moment.
And the fact that it is a kid makes it hurt even more

@@march9589 ok dude they are filiming a show, like this isnt actually happening so these emotions arent truly real, they are actors, im complimenting them on being great actors, they act like real people i BELIEVE it, they did a fantastic job, like ive seen footage of real police officers in life threatening situations and i gotta say they acted very similar to the actors in this show, the script writers and the actors were both doing amazing jobs
The "I don't fucking know" is one of the reasons that active shooter responder drills started doing training in high-risk buildings, instead of in their home ground or at 3rd party, non-related training sites. So that the responders who trained in those buildings could guide the ones that didn't around.
Yeah I totally believable, like the way he just collected hostages without saying a word, and all the people just voluntarily walked over to him LOL
If this show was so real why would the cop be blind firing at a shooter with a hostage? If it were so real how come none of them acknowledged the fact that books are made out of bricks

Even knowing there’s most likely plenty of hidden cuts, the way they tied it all together into one seemingly continuous shot, 1917 style, was incredible. It all felt so real while also never seeming to stray away from real time. No jumps ahead in time, no falling behind. Truly terrifyingly real.

Realistic, no? In most school shootings, cops don't even enter the building, and just wait for the shooter to commit suicide. This is theatre.
I can’t imagine surviving this, and having the extreme PTSD.
Scary part is I'm one of those kids who wear headphones everywhere to block out the rest of the school, so I could see myself being that kid that was clueless.

Open-air headphones my guy.
@@CyberusSuper Lol this rarely happens
I’m sure headphones couldn’t block out the sound a lot anyway, a gunshot is really loud
For those who attend school, don’t expect cops to stop if you are injured. They don’t stop, their focus is to stop the shooter(s). If you can get out, get out. Stay strong & stay safe everyone.
And if they can't get out and are injured they are as good as dead right ?
The EMTS job is solely to confirm the time of death I assume ?
@@hannahdyson7129 Not all injuries, even from a bullet, are lethal without immediate care.
Also, if someone doesn’t stop the shooter, then more people will be hurt or killed

The cops job is to get the bad guy.
Neat thing is all the other officers follow this doctrine of finding the shooter first save one. The officer who saved the girl, JM, is made fun of by his other buddies for being a pussy and crumbling under pressure, so his ignoring of this actually coincides with his character arch in the show.

Only the intro is one shot, but it really immerses you in the situation
It's realistic to a point. The lack of music contributes to the gritty feel of it, but the actual events are well-suited to a Die Hard film.
In reality, most active shootings don't go on this long unless police are slow to respond or the shooter finds a place to barricade themselves. More often they're a flash in the pan, such that by the time you know to be scared it's already over. Stoneman Douglas, for example, lasted all of six minutes. Columbine went on longer because it was novel and police didn't have an adequate contingency plan.
They don't spend half an hour prowling the hallways, evading police, whilst picking off stragglers. If they have that luxury, they're not going to waste it by risking capture repeatedly. They'll either find a place to make their stand or attempt a getaway.
The filming is great, no cut every second like in most of the Hollywood movies.
