There's a movie called "Come and See," made by Russians about their war against the Nazis. It is a real tough one to see, but it reflects the astonishing brutality of that war, the largest land war in human history.
I hope you read my comment before but one thing I will tell you is, do you know who are the ones that discovered the nazi death camps where they murdered millions and millions of people of even your own?...it was our soldiers of the United States 🇺🇸 after when we went and saved you all from both wars...they had to see what none of other countries did when they liberated the evil camps. All our soldiers cried and then threw up from what they had to see...you should really look into those stories that are beyond worse than what you have been seeing in movies and these are also the true stories why the death camps were revealed in the first place. You ignorant people of the world oblivious to what went down are the reason history repeats itself while getting worse...and its all for like LIKES & brainwashing. How sad its the few that remember to to tell it like was meanwhile you're all getting dumbed down. I pray to God we won't ever send soldiers again and just protect OUR BEAUTIFUL BELOVED HOMELAND and youz can figure sh*t out because enough is ENOUGH of my people being killed to save you all.
Something I remember hearing was that, while it was reported he pulled 75 men off of Hacksaw Ridge, the number is actually much higher. When filing the report Desmond estimated he only pulled about 50 off the Ridge while his Commanding officer estimated 100, so they split the difference. The actual count may be between 120-130.
I'm sure it's been mentioned in the comments already, but Desmond Doss's real story was quite literally too fantastic to be fully told in this movie. The producers thought the audience would have a hard time believing the story to be real... That's how much of a hero he was.
I read that Mel Gibson left a lot out of the film because of the worry the viewers would disbelieve what they were watching. One such scene was at the end of the film when Desmond was being carried on the stretcher, apparently they were passing another wounded soldier and he insisted the other soldier be carried away first. So he climbed off and helped put the other man on. The guy was one of a kind.
Also a Japanese soldier tried to shoot him five 5 times with his rifle and every time he tried to shoot the gun didn’t go off while he was lowering down another wounded soldier.
Desmond Doss was immensely brave person. I am glad that this story is getting more reacted. War is pitch black hell of horrible deeds that eat away your soul. Every action of kindness and humanity in those times are the actions that will ultimately save our own soul and sanity.
You really think he was working alone? A Japanese sniper gave his account on how he had him in his sight, each time he was ready to pull the trigger the gun would jam...this happen 3 times. The Japanese soldier said that was the only time in the war it ever happen.
Your compassion and empathy for those who served is admirable! An old quote for the way soldiers were treated after every war in human history. “ the war is over dogs and soldiers off of the grass”.
Desmond Doss was on Hacksaw Ridge, basically alone, for about 12 hours. Twelve. In just that time, he saved an absolute minimum of 50 lives, and more likely closer to 100. One person every 10-15 minutes. He was sent home from Okinawa with 17 bits of shrapnel in his legs and a compound fracture from a gunshot wound in one of his arms. He never fully recovered from the injuries, suffering mobility issues for the rest of his life, but he lived a long life.
Desmond's Medal of Honor Citation: "He was a company aid man when the 1st Battalion assaulted a jagged escarpment 400 feet high. As our troops gained the summit, a heavy concentration of artillery, mortar and machinegun fire crashed into them, inflicting approximately 75 casualties and driving the others back. Pfc. Doss refused to seek cover and remained in the fire-swept area with the many stricken, carrying them 1 by 1 to the edge of the escarpment and there lowering them on a rope-supported litter down the face of a cliff to friendly hands. On 2 May, he exposed himself to heavy rifle and mortar fire in rescuing a wounded man 200 yards forward of the lines on the same escarpment; and 2 days later he treated 4 men who had been cut down while assaulting a strongly defended cave, advancing through a shower of grenades to within 8 yards of enemy forces in a cave's mouth, where he dressed his comrades' wounds before making 4 separate trips under fire to evacuate them to safety. On 5 May, he unhesitatingly braved enemy shelling and small arms fire to assist an artillery officer. He applied bandages, moved his patient to a spot that offered protection from small arms fire and, while artillery and mortar shells fell close by, painstakingly administered plasma. Later that day, when an American was severely wounded by fire from a cave, Pfc. Doss crawled to him where he had fallen 25 feet from the enemy position, rendered aid, and carried him 100 yards to safety while continually exposed to enemy fire. On 21 May, in a night attack on high ground near Shuri, he remained in exposed territory while the rest of his company took cover, fearlessly risking the chance that he would be mistaken for an infiltrating Japanese and giving aid to the injured until he was himself seriously wounded in the legs by the explosion of a grenade. Rather than call another aid man from cover, he cared for his own injuries and waited 5 hours before litter bearers reached him and started carrying him to cover. The trio was caught in an enemy tank attack and Pfc. Doss, seeing a more critically wounded man nearby, crawled off the litter; and directed the bearers to give their first attention to the other man. Awaiting the litter bearers' return, he was again struck, this time suffering a compound fracture of 1 arm. With magnificent fortitude he bound a rifle stock to his shattered arm as a splint and then crawled 300 yards over rough terrain to the aid station. Through his outstanding bravery and unflinching determination in the face of desperately dangerous conditions Pfc. Doss saved the lives of many soldiers. His name became a symbol throughout the 77th Infantry Division for outstanding gallantry far above and beyond the call of duty."
Your reaction to this movie is one of the best I’ve ever seen. It’s always so horrible what happens in war and always so amazing what people like Desmond Doss are capable of. Believe it or not Desmond actually did a lot more than what was shown and described, but it was all cut from the movie because no one would have believed it.
Desmond saved at least 75 men during that 12 hour rescue including a few Japanese soldiers. I got to see this in the theater and I cried. I still cry. War is horrible. And only those who have served truly know how horrible it is. Thank you for a wonderful reaction.
Before I enlisted in the military, my dad (WW2 veteran) and my oldest brother (Vietnam veteran) talked with me about my decision to serve in the medical field.... They told me the accounts of Desmond Doss and his convictions to save human life.....Not being one of "beliefes", I knew my own drive and compassion had to come from inside of myself. I served in two branches of the military, both in special forces and in the medical fields. I'm pleased you experienced this inspiring film... The factual truth of reality is that this "film" doesn't account for how much Doss did on his time on Hacksaw Ridge.... Viewers of this film wouldn't have believed its truth. Beautiful reaction video as always. ❤
I’m an agnostic and like you, I have respect for all who practice their faith (any faith) in love and peace. There’s too much hate in this world from all sides of the equation and I really admire your compassion, logic, and attitude.
Young lady after seeing this I subscribed. My war was Vietnam. Mel Gibson did a movie 'We were Soldiers", I was there 6 years after this engagement He was 7th reg, I was 3 reg Thanks!
Oh wow thank you so incredibly much for the super chat! I'm so grateful that you enjoyed and subscribed! I'm so happy to have you here and thank you for the suggestion!! I definitely plan to watch that! I would love to learn more about the Vietnam War! I know very little about it currently sadly!
It's so important that people like Doss can be remembered, too much has been lost to people's memory and so many mistakes are being made again. Thanks so much for sharing this and keeping his memory alive. Subscribed.
The I thought I was blind scene always gets me. A moment that clearly stuck with Desmond his whole life. and how could it not? Such a beautiful moment.
Band of Brothers is the most realistic and close to real events than any other film or show about WW2 and follows company that saw the worst of the war in Europe. It also has actual interviews with the real soldiers who fought and that are depicted in the show. They do get a few things wrong, but not very much, less than most. It’s an amazing heart wrenching and heart warming experience all at once. Can’t wait to see the reactions to that, Currahee!
A whole lot of inaccuracies in Band of Brothers. Almost too many too list. They took a lot of liberties with the people and events in the series, but then again, they always do.
@@shelbyseelbach9568 Of course it has inaccuracies, it’s relying on men and documents that do not have all the context. As I said, they do get some things wrong, but not nearly as much as most or all movies/TV series out there today about this particular war. I can understand that they also wanted to up the entertainment value as well, but they stayed in the realm of believability and reality, which I like, I just wish they’d have edited it or updated it to tell the viewer when something is not exactly as depicted.
@@CChissel LMFAO. It has inaccuracies according to the men and the historical record of the actual events themselves. Not incidental inaccuracies, not inaccuracies because of the men and the historical record, my friend, but Hollywood inaccuracies by every meaning of the term. Inaccuracies I'm sorry if the men and the historical record. Sorry. Do a little research on it and you'll see. It was a fantastic series, but the truth is simply the truth.
@@shelbyseelbach9568 Both are true, did you read where I said they wanted entertainment value? That means “Hollywood” but I guess you didn’t understand that, or are being, deliberately obtuse. And yes, it has inaccuracies from wanting to add entertainment value, which you call “Hollywood” and things the men thought happened, but wasn’t true, like Lt Dyke not giving orders because he was incompetent, he had been shot but no one noticed, or Blythe dying in the 40s. I don’t know what got you so riled up, but you said exactly what I said, only in a weird way, and you also don’t think the men had misremembered, I guess? But they did. Idk what your deal is
What a heartfelt reaction. At 67 I still cry every time I see this movie. He is the best example of what a hero is. But he would tell you the real heroes are the ones who died for their country. Bless you and thank you for caring. Peace from Northern Michigan.
When I first enlisted in the Army I did my bootcamp at Ft. Jackson, S.C. like Desmond. WWII barracks and attitude by the drill sergeants. I reenlisted after 9-11 at 40 and deployed to Iraq at 42 when my reserve unit was activated. My utmost respect for the late great Desmond Doss for his devotion to duty!
As a former soldier, I'm amazed by the bravery of that generation. Most people never noticed that the body armor they had back then was literally their helmets: we have ballistic vests, protective eyewear and helmets now.
Not as well-known as other WWII movies are two Clint Eastwood directed films from 2006, Flags of Our Fathers and Letters from Iwo Jima. Flags is about the Marines and Corpsman who raised the flag on Iwo Jima, Letters about the Japanese POV. Both are probably overlooked but provide important perspective. Saving Private Ryan was a moving reaction especially with the background about your family. :)
I remember when I first saw this, I was so impressed, especially since it’s a true story. I’m glad you enjoyed the movie. Look forward to seeing your future vids. Also I don’t think I’ve said it before, but your accent is so amazing.
I love that line "I don't know how I'm gonna live with myself if I don't stay true to what I believe." How can anyone live if they don't stay true to what they believe?
Something we miss in all these films is the smell, noise, and cries of the wounded. My best friend's father fought the Kamekazi off Okinawa. He was part of bofour gun crew. His ship was hit and to the day Ray died he carried shrapnel in different parts of his body.
Jade, you are a sweet, good hearted woman. Don’t ever change. Your knowledge of weapons and tactics is impressive, most people don’t understand what is going on. Your my favorite reacting to movies!
You know I watch alot of reactions and I have to say that I really appreciated yours. I'll tell you why,I could see in your eyes, and hear in your voice the very deep respect you have for history, and true hero's. You have a natural understanding of what these men sacrificed, and I respect you for it. Thanks for caring enough about history to actually seek to understand it, and people like Desmond Doss a hero among men.
The answer to "How do they see you?" at 17:14 lies in the methodical preparation of the battlefield by a defender. Every inch of ground is pre-registered by mortars and artillery. Each bit of cover or low ground, called defilade, is marked on a plot called a "Range Card" . These are kept at each machine gun so that they can simply look at the card and point the weapon at each spot and spray it blindly. Barbed wire can be used to channel the attacker like you channel water, and when they stack up the length of the wire can be sprayed by guns just pointing down the wire. It's as mechanical as a slaughterhouse. This can all be accomplished in less than 24 hours by trained men...and the Japanese had months to prepare.
I think you show great respect for this genre, and its important for ALL generations to learn about WW2. I hope you continue your journey. It does NOT get taught enough in schools today.
There's something special about faith. Many may not have it, but it's undeniable that it brings out the ABSOLUTE BEST in people. It's helped me in so many ways throughout my life. I wish more people were open to it, it's so easy to see what it can do for your life. We are just blinded by politics and agendas, it's hard to see the beauty of it.
Fun fact: the directors took out some of the things Doss did as they didn't think anyone would believe it. He didn't kick that grenade, he stepped on it, sending shrapnel all up his leg. He then tended to himself and a few other injured soldiers inside a crater for a few hours. Afterward, when a soldier was helping him to get to the ridge so he could go down, he was shot in the arm by a sniper rifle and had to stop and tend to his now broken arm before going the rest of the way. He also saved far more than 75 men, but Doss claimed to only have saved about 50. His commander claimed he saved at least 100 and that's just the Americans. There are truly no words to describe the things he did on that ridge.
Your sensitivity was quite touching. Thank you for such a genuine reaction. As a Christian I trust I'll met desmond after this world comes to it's end. The man truly based his life in Christ, and Christs example of sacrifical service in love.
Open your heart and mind to Jesus and Gods love and you will find true joy. I was an atheist until age 20. God is the deep love you have always wanted.
The thing about this is that Mel Gibson said he "watered it down" because all the achievements of Desmond Doss will make this movie look like Sci fi. I read up on it and, I have to agree. He's basically a real life superhero in every sense of the word.
Desmond had to spend a lot of time recuperating after the war in a VA hospital from his injuries to his leg and arm along with breathing difficulties due to pneumonia. He lived the life of a simple and humble farmer in Rising Fawn, GA and raised his family, never "cashing in" on his fame as a medal of honor winner. He refused to allow his story to be glamorized by a movie until it happened after his death with this movie. A few documentaries were made about his accomplishments, and there are a few of the videos on TH-cam if you wish to search for them that tell you a lot more about his life. Mel Gibson had to condense all of his battles he served to this last one on Hacksaw Ridge where he was cited for the medal of honor, and downplayed his accomplishments because he thought the audience would not have believed them. If fact, Desmond had already earned the respect of everyone in his company in prior battles and campaigns, and received several medals for bravery and service prior to the battle of Hacksaw.
Hacksaw Ridge is an amazing an emotional film. As a devout Catholic serving in the military it hits home for me. I can't wait to see your reaction to Band of Brothers, and especially the interviews with the men of Easy Company in the episodes.
These true stories help us to understand why so many veterans didn't talk about the war. The only people who could truly understand what they had been through were those who were there with them. Many felt guilty that they had returned and so many had not. More true stories include 'The Pianist' , 'Unbroken' and 'The Railway Man'.
As much as I enjoy your tender soul and heartfelt reactions to these gut wrenching stories, I would love to see you relieve yourself of the torture and do a comedy next. The heart can only take so much strain!
Thankfully I have a great support system around me and play and watch fun things outside of these reactions so I'm happy to continue learning about these heart-breaking moments in our history! It fascinates me a lot! But thank you so much for your kind concern!!
In real life, the double bowline is a knot Doss learned to tie and used in his work on the farm before the war. He was able to lower two men at the same time from the ridge.
I'm a U.S. Army war veteran and as much as I love all these war movies about American war heroism, I'd LOVE to see more movies about our UK allies in WWII. There's got to be a multitude of heroic stories of our allies!!!
Thank you for a truly wonderful reaction, I really enjoyed it! This is the first time to see your channel and your compassion shines thru so much I can promise it won't be the last of your work I watch. Have a Blessed day!
Big fan of your channel I had a great uncle named Francis “Pete” Kline who served in the US military during WWII and saw first hand the horrors in the Pacific on okinawa and Iwo Jima as a sergeant He died of a heart attack sadly at 63 years old and had nightmares of his time in the service His older brother (my great grandpa James (Elmer) Kline was a farmer who was 33 at the start of world war 2 and was needed more in the war effort in America, where he served our country by growing crops and livestock for troops like his younger brother over seas
If you want another amazing war movie to react to, “Black Hawk Down” is about the Battle of Mogadishu, in 1993. It has a great cast playing the real life people, amazing action sequences, and depicts the true brutality of war when plans go south
You mean what politicians interfere with the military. They had requested armor and C-130 gunship support due to where the target was in Bakara Market. It was declined by higher-ups in Washington DC. Plus, Chalk #4 was inserted into the wrong location (not mentioned in the movie but it is in the book) and had to fight their way over to where the extraction was supposed to be.
I subscribed after this reaction and am in the process of watching all of your reactions. I’ve heard black hawk down is a good movie. I can not watch it. Lost a brother in that battle. But I will still give you a thumbs up for it. My brothers should not be forgotten. I know I will never forget until we meet again in Valhalla to share a horn. NEVER FORGOTTEN USMC
I lived on Okinawa only 20 years after Hacksaw Ridge happened. It was a very quiet and pleasant place to live, but whenever it rained, bullets and even grenades would wash out of the soil.
A Japanese sniper that survived the Battle reported that several times he had Desmond in his sights for an easy shot but each time his rifle failed to fire.
Great men believe in something greater than themselves, evil men believe in their own desires, but men who believe in nothing are as such and should be soon forgotten.
Thank you so much! And yes I heard that they held back to make it not seem too unrealistic even though it was his genuine experience and life! So amazing!!
I agree completely. Mel Gibson did try to give the audience something of the feel of being on the battlefield ourselves. He's especially good at that. Of course, it's nothing like actually being in a battle, but what can be done in a movie, Gibson does superbly.
Desmond Doss was, in fact, not the first conscientious objector to be awarded the Medal of Honor. He was the second. The first was Alvin York, who was awarded the Medal of Honor for valor during World War I. This does not take anything away from Doss's absolute courage or dedication.
He did more then this movie showed but if it was put in a movie with "A true story" subtitle, people would just not believe it was true nor possible. He is a legend. Suffering malnutrition because all the food was meat (he was a vegetarian) and crackers and canned veggies on occasion (this is when flash-freezing started to preserve vegetables longer).
To steal a quote from John Wick 2 " The stories you have heard of this man, I can assure you have been watered-down. " As a US Navy Hospital Corpsman (counterpart to Doss) his story was well known to me. One of my duty stations was 3rd Medical Battalion, Camp Hansen, Okinawa. While there I have the privilege of visiting Hacksaw Ridge (now a Peace Park). The moment was not lost on me, in fact 35 years later it still gets me. By the time of Hacksaw, Doss and his unit had been in many battles, Okinawa was their 3rd campaign. The movie compreses this time. His battle was 5-6 days long. Doss argued with superiors he only saved 25 or so. Superiors said 100, they settled on 75. Battalion records show 140-150 men rescued by Doss.
If possible, I recommend watching these good war movies in order. All would be in order of the War in the Pacific. The Great War of Archimedes (2019) - Pearl Harbor (2001) - Midway (2019) - Flags of our Fathers (2006) - Emperor (2012)
Another great reaction. Love your true emotion. Another great movie, also true story, We were soldiers with Mel Gibson. Vietnam War, think you would enjoy. Again awesome reaction.
Thank you so much...young lady for your incredibly passionate and moving and heartfelt reaction to this stunning movie!! What private Doss was nothing short of heroic....and its so gradifying to see so many people that are watching this film..being so moved by it as you were!! this is the first reaction vid i have seen from you and to say the very least....you've made a fan and an admirer out of me!! In this often cruel and selfish world..its so moving and touching to observe a woman like you, giving homage and respect to this kind of movie and the principles behind it!! P.S. ........ while im not 100% certain but i think i heard you describe yourself as an athiest in your comments!...as a Christian myself...it is my sincere hope that The Almighty Himself..may use this film to ..."tap you gently on the shoulder" and to tenderly begin to reveal to you that God not only exists..but that He Loves you so and wants to have an eternal relationship with you....starting with you believing that He exists!!.... This private Doss character...was..when you think of it...a perfect and symbolic picture of Jesus Christ....Gods Son......giving His life..in exchange for ours..that we may have eternal life and be forgiven and clensed from our sins if we believe and Receive Him into our hearts by faith!!. .take care young lady and...God bless you and Keep you!!
Aww this comment is so beautiful I could cry! Thank you so much for your very kind words! I empathise and care so much for all the incredible humans that have gone through war and did their very best. Let alone the amazing person that Doss was! ❤️
Yeah, write me down for dropping one wounded person... maybe. 50? No chance; 75? Please. 100? No way. That's just crazy. Both crazy strong and crazy crazy! Best line in the film. "What are you guys waiting for?" "We're waiting for Private Doss to finish praying for us". Much respect.
One of the most beautiful and emotional movies I've seen in my life. I also recommend the miracle Turkish version in the 7th ward.It's an excellent movie
Years later some of the Japanese who fought at Hacksaw Ridge were interviewed for a film and they said it was extremely frustrating because they knew there was a medic out there and every time they got him in their sights their rifles would jam.
I know in this movie they state Desmond Doss was the first Conscientious Objector to be awarded the Medal of Honor, but he was actually the second. Desmond Doss was the first Conscientious Objector who refused to use a weapon, to be awarded the Medal of Honor, Alvin York was the actual first Conscientious Objector to be awarded the Medal of Honor during WWI. There is a movie which was made about Alvin York called Sargent York, it does not have the graphic war scenes, since the movie was made before they started allowing such graphic scenes.
Thank you so very much! I'm so grateful you enjoyed!! I'll react to Band of Brothers right after the Last of Us show and I can't wait to watch it with you all!
One fact that was left out because it was deemed to unbelievable for movie audiences to believe was after Desmond kicked the grenade he had to wait four hours for a strecther then when it came he insisted someone else get it, then had his arm shattered by a sniper forcing him to crawl to safety.
Hacksaw Ridge is arguably the greatest WWII movie ever made. Mel Gibson is such a great director. This is also Andrew Garfield's best performance in my opinion
I have read many of the reactions from others saying how much they enjoyed your reaction here and your kindness and sensitivity. I wish I could add more than I totally agree with them, but .......😉 I have subscribed as well and look forward to your reactions in the future. It is obvious you have a beautiful heart. The best to you always..💙✌
Awww this made me tear up! Thank you so much for your lovely words! I'm so grateful you have subscribed and I hope you enjoy all the content to come! 😊
I would totally recommend "All quiet on the western front", it takes place in WW1 and it is based on a book of a actual War Veteran which is meant to be a anti war book. These are fictional characters but based on the memorys of a real soldier. The visuals are excellent but also hard to watch. I would say that this is one of the best war movies out there. If you should watch this movie, pls watch the original version with german audio and english subtitles, that way you notice the emotions of the soldiers far better. Sorry for my english, its not my first language.
@MovieJoob its based on a book written by Joe Galloway who was a reporter at the time about Col Hal Moore who the movie is about called We Were Soldiers... Once and Young.
What a lovely young lady. These WW2 movies Hacksaw Ridge and the series Band of Brothers are based on real men who fought gave up their lives to fight a great evil. Desmond's father was A US Marine who fought in the battle of Bella Wood. This was one of the first battles the US was involved in during WW1. The Marines were given the name Devil Dogs by the Germans. Due to the fact they would not give up ground and would fight on no matter the odds. These men suffered greatly later in life. The exploits of Desmond Doss were watered down for this movie. He was a vegetarian that was starving the entire time of his service. As the primary calories were from meat and bread. He lived on canned vegetables, coconuts, and fruits Desmond could scrounge up. His captain said Desmond saved over 100 men. When the Army asked Desmond in his humble manor said maybe around 50. So the US Army split the difference.

I don't know why your reaction wasn't happy and joyous it was just a bunch of white men dying shouldn't that make you happy
On TH-cam there is a video called the first medal of honor ever recorded. You should react to that.
There's a movie called "Come and See," made by Russians about their war against the Nazis. It is a real tough one to see, but it reflects the astonishing brutality of that war, the largest land war in human history.
I hope you read my comment before but one thing I will tell you is, do you know who are the ones that discovered the nazi death camps where they murdered millions and millions of people of even your own?...it was our soldiers of the United States 🇺🇸 after when we went and saved you all from both wars...they had to see what none of other countries did when they liberated the evil camps. All our soldiers cried and then threw up from what they had to see...you should really look into those stories that are beyond worse than what you have been seeing in movies and these are also the true stories why the death camps were revealed in the first place. You ignorant people of the world oblivious to what went down are the reason history repeats itself while getting worse...and its all for like LIKES & brainwashing. How sad its the few that remember to to tell it like was meanwhile you're all getting dumbed down. I pray to God we won't ever send soldiers again and just protect OUR BEAUTIFUL BELOVED HOMELAND and youz can figure sh*t out because enough is ENOUGH of my people being killed to save you all.
Something I remember hearing was that, while it was reported he pulled 75 men off of Hacksaw Ridge, the number is actually much higher. When filing the report Desmond estimated he only pulled about 50 off the Ridge while his Commanding officer estimated 100, so they split the difference. The actual count may be between 120-130.
Oh wow!! Thats wild! Fair enough that they couldn't conduct exact numbers during such extreme circumstances!
Heard some were wounded japanese.
@@RayHardman7567 A testament to how beautiful of a person Desmond was!
@@MovieJoob wish more people were like him in today's world. He's an extinct race.
You are correct. His battalion reported it as 150 men. Desmond said it was only 45. So the Army split the difference on his citation.
I'm sure it's been mentioned in the comments already, but Desmond Doss's real story was quite literally too fantastic to be fully told in this movie.
The producers thought the audience would have a hard time believing the story to be real... That's how much of a hero he was.
As ever - no disappointment; that is a proper reaction every step of the way. Hope you'll always be as sweet and sensitive. ♥️👍
jade, never lose that innocence you have... :)
Aww thank you so much!! I don't think I can stop ever (my tear ducts don't even listen to me! hahaha) But that is so sweet thank you ❤️
Thank you so much!!
I read that Mel Gibson left a lot out of the film because of the worry the viewers would disbelieve what they were watching. One such scene was at the end of the film when Desmond was being carried on the stretcher, apparently they were passing another wounded soldier and he insisted the other soldier be carried away first. So he climbed off and helped put the other man on. The guy was one of a kind.
Also a Japanese soldier tried to shoot him five 5 times with his rifle and every time he tried to shoot the gun didn’t go off while he was lowering down another wounded soldier.
@@HunterBidenscrack That´s true... So, the word miracle is well appropriate..
That was in the movie!
The power of faith. And that's all that needs to be said.
That can never be overstated. Amen! 🙏
Desmond Doss was immensely brave person. I am glad that this story is getting more reacted. War is pitch black hell of horrible deeds that eat away your soul. Every action of kindness and humanity in those times are the actions that will ultimately save our own soul and sanity.
It was so beautiful seeing a spark of hope and kindness throughout the darkness of war.
When I watched this movie the 1st time I didn't know he was a real person, what a wonderful human being ...
I can't believe he really saved that many people it blows my mind!! 💔
You really think he was working alone? A Japanese sniper gave his account on how he had him in his sight, each time he was ready to pull the trigger the gun would jam...this happen 3 times. The Japanese soldier said that was the only time in the war it ever happen.
Your compassion and empathy for those who served is admirable! An old quote for the way soldiers were treated after every war in human history. “ the war is over dogs and soldiers off of the grass”.
Thank you so much for your beautiful words! ❤️🥺 That quote is so powerful and sad!
Desmond Doss was on Hacksaw Ridge, basically alone, for about 12 hours. Twelve. In just that time, he saved an absolute minimum of 50 lives, and more likely closer to 100. One person every 10-15 minutes. He was sent home from Okinawa with 17 bits of shrapnel in his legs and a compound fracture from a gunshot wound in one of his arms. He never fully recovered from the injuries, suffering mobility issues for the rest of his life, but he lived a long life.
Desmond's Medal of Honor Citation:
"He was a company aid man when the 1st Battalion assaulted a jagged escarpment 400 feet high. As our troops gained the summit, a heavy concentration of artillery, mortar and machinegun fire crashed into them, inflicting approximately 75 casualties and driving the others back. Pfc. Doss refused to seek cover and remained in the fire-swept area with the many stricken, carrying them 1 by 1 to the edge of the escarpment and there lowering them on a rope-supported litter down the face of a cliff to friendly hands. On 2 May, he exposed himself to heavy rifle and mortar fire in rescuing a wounded man 200 yards forward of the lines on the same escarpment; and 2 days later he treated 4 men who had been cut down while assaulting a strongly defended cave, advancing through a shower of grenades to within 8 yards of enemy forces in a cave's mouth, where he dressed his comrades' wounds before making 4 separate trips under fire to evacuate them to safety. On 5 May, he unhesitatingly braved enemy shelling and small arms fire to assist an artillery officer. He applied bandages, moved his patient to a spot that offered protection from small arms fire and, while artillery and mortar shells fell close by, painstakingly administered plasma. Later that day, when an American was severely wounded by fire from a cave, Pfc. Doss crawled to him where he had fallen 25 feet from the enemy position, rendered aid, and carried him 100 yards to safety while continually exposed to enemy fire. On 21 May, in a night attack on high ground near Shuri, he remained in exposed territory while the rest of his company took cover, fearlessly risking the chance that he would be mistaken for an infiltrating Japanese and giving aid to the injured until he was himself seriously wounded in the legs by the explosion of a grenade. Rather than call another aid man from cover, he cared for his own injuries and waited 5 hours before litter bearers reached him and started carrying him to cover. The trio was caught in an enemy tank attack and Pfc. Doss, seeing a more critically wounded man nearby, crawled off the litter; and directed the bearers to give their first attention to the other man. Awaiting the litter bearers' return, he was again struck, this time suffering a compound fracture of 1 arm. With magnificent fortitude he bound a rifle stock to his shattered arm as a splint and then crawled 300 yards over rough terrain to the aid station. Through his outstanding bravery and unflinching determination in the face of desperately dangerous conditions Pfc. Doss saved the lives of many soldiers. His name became a symbol throughout the 77th Infantry Division for outstanding gallantry far above and beyond the call of duty."
Your reaction to this movie is one of the best I’ve ever seen. It’s always so horrible what happens in war and always so amazing what people like Desmond Doss are capable of. Believe it or not Desmond actually did a lot more than what was shown and described, but it was all cut from the movie because no one would have believed it.
Thank you so much! I'm so grateful you enjoyed my reaction! And yes some other comments had mentioned that which is wild! 😲
Desmond saved at least 75 men during that 12 hour rescue including a few Japanese soldiers. I got to see this in the theater and I cried. I still cry. War is horrible. And only those who have served truly know how horrible it is. Thank you for a wonderful reaction.
Before I enlisted in the military, my dad (WW2 veteran) and my oldest brother (Vietnam veteran) talked with me about my decision to serve in the medical field.... They told me the accounts of Desmond Doss and his convictions to save human life.....Not being one of "beliefes", I knew my own drive and compassion had to come from inside of myself.
I served in two branches of the military, both in special forces and in the medical fields.
I'm pleased you experienced this inspiring film... The factual truth of reality is that this "film" doesn't account for how much Doss did on his time on Hacksaw Ridge.... Viewers of this film wouldn't have believed its truth.
Beautiful reaction video as always. ❤
I’m an agnostic and like you, I have respect for all who practice their faith (any faith) in love and peace. There’s too much hate in this world from all sides of the equation and I really admire your compassion, logic, and attitude.
Young lady after seeing this I subscribed. My war was Vietnam. Mel Gibson did a movie 'We were Soldiers", I was there 6 years after this engagement He was 7th reg, I was 3 reg Thanks!
Oh wow thank you so incredibly much for the super chat! I'm so grateful that you enjoyed and subscribed! I'm so happy to have you here and thank you for the suggestion!! I definitely plan to watch that! I would love to learn more about the Vietnam War! I know very little about it currently sadly!
It's so important that people like Doss can be remembered, too much has been lost to people's memory and so many mistakes are being made again. Thanks so much for sharing this and keeping his memory alive. Subscribed.
I completely agree!! Thank you so much for your beautiful comment and for subscribing!
If they made fiction about it, it would seem too unbelievable. LEGENDARY.
Literally!! I wouldn't have believed it if they we'rent very clear about it being based on a true story!
they even toned down his achievements in this movie because they thought audiences would find it too unbelievable
The I thought I was blind scene always gets me. A moment that clearly stuck with Desmond his whole life. and how could it not? Such a beautiful moment.
The movie compresses events. That encounter actually occurred on Guam. Doss served in combat on Guam, The Philippines, and Okinawa.
Band of Brothers is the most realistic and close to real events than any other film or show about WW2 and follows company that saw the worst of the war in Europe. It also has actual interviews with the real soldiers who fought and that are depicted in the show. They do get a few things wrong, but not very much, less than most. It’s an amazing heart wrenching and heart warming experience all at once. Can’t wait to see the reactions to that, Currahee!
I've heard amazing suggestions from you all in the comments to I am 100% going to react to this show with you all! ❤️
A whole lot of inaccuracies in Band of Brothers. Almost too many too list. They took a lot of liberties with the people and events in the series, but then again, they always do.
@@shelbyseelbach9568 Of course it has inaccuracies, it’s relying on men and documents that do not have all the context. As I said, they do get some things wrong, but not nearly as much as most or all movies/TV series out there today about this particular war. I can understand that they also wanted to up the entertainment value as well, but they stayed in the realm of believability and reality, which I like, I just wish they’d have edited it or updated it to tell the viewer when something is not exactly as depicted.
@@CChissel LMFAO. It has inaccuracies according to the men and the historical record of the actual events themselves. Not incidental inaccuracies, not inaccuracies because of the men and the historical record, my friend, but Hollywood inaccuracies by every meaning of the term. Inaccuracies I'm sorry if the men and the historical record. Sorry. Do a little research on it and you'll see. It was a fantastic series, but the truth is simply the truth.
@@shelbyseelbach9568 Both are true, did you read where I said they wanted entertainment value? That means “Hollywood” but I guess you didn’t understand that, or are being, deliberately obtuse. And yes, it has inaccuracies from wanting to add entertainment value, which you call “Hollywood” and things the men thought happened, but wasn’t true, like Lt Dyke not giving orders because he was incompetent, he had been shot but no one noticed, or Blythe dying in the 40s. I don’t know what got you so riled up, but you said exactly what I said, only in a weird way, and you also don’t think the men had misremembered, I guess? But they did. Idk what your deal is
What a heartfelt reaction. At 67 I still cry every time I see this movie. He is the best example of what a hero is. But he would tell you the real heroes are the ones who died for their country. Bless you and thank you for caring. Peace from Northern Michigan.
When I first enlisted in the Army I did my bootcamp at Ft. Jackson, S.C. like Desmond. WWII barracks and attitude by the drill sergeants. I reenlisted after 9-11 at 40 and deployed to Iraq at 42 when my reserve unit was activated. My utmost respect for the late great Desmond Doss for his devotion to duty!
When I start tearing up, I know it's a great reaction.
Aww I'm so glad you enjoyed! 😢😊
As a former soldier, I'm amazed by the bravery of that generation. Most people never noticed that the body armor they had back then was literally their helmets: we have ballistic vests, protective eyewear and helmets now.
They barely had any protection yeah 💔 but nowadays we have even more brutal weaponry possibilities!
Man, that got me teared up upon seeing you bawling over the film. Splendid reaction as well. I'm now subscribed!
Aww thank you so much! I'm so grateful you enjoyed and joined me on this channel!!
It seriously reaffirms my faith in humanity to see how much this effected you. Thanks for being a good human.
Not as well-known as other WWII movies are two Clint Eastwood directed films from 2006, Flags of Our Fathers and Letters from Iwo Jima. Flags is about the Marines and Corpsman who raised the flag on Iwo Jima, Letters about the Japanese POV. Both are probably overlooked but provide important perspective. Saving Private Ryan was a moving reaction especially with the background about your family. :)
Both will certainly have her in tears as well.
Thank you so much for the suggestions!! I really appreciate them!
And aww thank you very much! 😊 I'm glad I shared!
Desmond Doss a man so amazing they left out some of his achievements to make the movie believable.
I remember when I first saw this, I was so impressed, especially since it’s a true story. I’m glad you enjoyed the movie. Look forward to seeing your future vids. Also I don’t think I’ve said it before, but your accent is so amazing.
Aww thank you so much! I'm very glad you enjoyed!
I love that line "I don't know how I'm gonna live with myself if I don't stay true to what I believe." How can anyone live if they don't stay true to what they believe?
Something we miss in all these films is the smell, noise, and cries of the wounded. My best friend's father fought the Kamekazi off Okinawa. He was part of bofour gun crew. His ship was hit and to the day Ray died he carried shrapnel in different parts of his body.
Jade, you are a sweet, good hearted woman. Don’t ever change. Your knowledge of weapons and tactics is impressive, most people don’t understand what is going on. Your my favorite reacting to movies!
That is so unbelievably kind! Thank you so much!! I'm not very educated on that stuff but I pick it up and learn as I watch things like this!
You know I watch alot of reactions and I have to say that I really appreciated yours. I'll tell you why,I could see in your eyes, and hear in your voice the very deep respect you have for history, and true hero's. You have a natural understanding of what these men sacrificed, and I respect you for it. Thanks for caring enough about history to actually seek to understand it, and people like Desmond Doss a hero among men.
The answer to "How do they see you?" at 17:14 lies in the methodical preparation of the battlefield by a defender. Every inch of ground is pre-registered by mortars and artillery. Each bit of cover or low ground, called defilade, is marked on a plot called a "Range Card" . These are kept at each machine gun so that they can simply look at the card and point the weapon at each spot and spray it blindly. Barbed wire can be used to channel the attacker like you channel water, and when they stack up the length of the wire can be sprayed by guns just pointing down the wire. It's as mechanical as a slaughterhouse.
This can all be accomplished in less than 24 hours by trained men...and the Japanese had months to prepare.
I think you show great respect for this genre, and its important for ALL generations to learn about WW2. I hope you continue your journey. It does NOT get taught enough in schools today.
Thank you so very much!! ❤️
There's something special about faith. Many may not have it, but it's undeniable that it brings out the ABSOLUTE BEST in people. It's helped me in so many ways throughout my life. I wish more people were open to it, it's so easy to see what it can do for your life. We are just blinded by politics and agendas, it's hard to see the beauty of it.
Fun fact: the directors took out some of the things Doss did as they didn't think anyone would believe it. He didn't kick that grenade, he stepped on it, sending shrapnel all up his leg. He then tended to himself and a few other injured soldiers inside a crater for a few hours. Afterward, when a soldier was helping him to get to the ridge so he could go down, he was shot in the arm by a sniper rifle and had to stop and tend to his now broken arm before going the rest of the way. He also saved far more than 75 men, but Doss claimed to only have saved about 50. His commander claimed he saved at least 100 and that's just the Americans. There are truly no words to describe the things he did on that ridge.
Far out!! He is such a beautiful human I cannot imagine how he felt coming home from war after all those experiences!!
Your sensitivity was quite touching. Thank you for such a genuine reaction.
As a Christian I trust I'll met desmond after this world comes to it's end. The man truly based his life in Christ, and Christs example of sacrifical service in love.
Aww thank you so much!
And I'm sure you will ❤️❤️
Open your heart and mind to Jesus and Gods love and you will find true joy. I was an atheist until age 20. God is the deep love you have always wanted.
this movie is not only based on a true story but they held back on everything Daws had to deal with.
Which is wild because it is already so incredible what they showed he had dealt with! 😲
The thing about this is that Mel Gibson said he "watered it down" because all the achievements of Desmond Doss will make this movie look like Sci fi. I read up on it and, I have to agree. He's basically a real life superhero in every sense of the word.
Desmond is the most heroic medal of honor winner ever in my opinion.. I don't know every story,. I just can't imagine anyone doing more than he did!
It is truly remarkable!! I cannot believe one man did this much for others. ❤️🪖
I am continued to be impressed by your level of heart and cool headed reactions.
This is incredibly kind thank you! 🥹
What a wholesome movie. It teaches you what people went through. Back then wasn’t easy with those wars and sacrifices and you’re reaction was amazing
Desmond had to spend a lot of time recuperating after the war in a VA hospital from his injuries to his leg and arm along with breathing difficulties due to pneumonia. He lived the life of a simple and humble farmer in Rising Fawn, GA and raised his family, never "cashing in" on his fame as a medal of honor winner. He refused to allow his story to be glamorized by a movie until it happened after his death with this movie. A few documentaries were made about his accomplishments, and there are a few of the videos on TH-cam if you wish to search for them that tell you a lot more about his life. Mel Gibson had to condense all of his battles he served to this last one on Hacksaw Ridge where he was cited for the medal of honor, and downplayed his accomplishments because he thought the audience would not have believed them. If fact, Desmond had already earned the respect of everyone in his company in prior battles and campaigns, and received several medals for bravery and service prior to the battle of Hacksaw.
Fantastic reaction/review. Thank you for keeping the history alive. And for your support of honourable men. It means a lot.
Thank you so much for joining me! ❤
Hacksaw Ridge is an amazing an emotional film. As a devout Catholic serving in the military it hits home for me. I can't wait to see your reaction to Band of Brothers, and especially the interviews with the men of Easy Company in the episodes.
I'm so glad you enjoyed and I can't wait to react to Band of Brothers with you all!!
These true stories help us to understand why so many veterans didn't talk about the war. The only people who could truly understand what they had been through were those who were there with them. Many felt guilty that they had returned and so many had not. More true stories include 'The Pianist' , 'Unbroken' and 'The Railway Man'.
You can also add to your list these two WWII movies based on true stories. 2013 The railway man and 2014 Unbroken. They are very good too.
As much as I enjoy your tender soul and heartfelt reactions to these gut wrenching stories, I would love to see you relieve yourself of the torture and do a comedy next. The heart can only take so much strain!
Thankfully I have a great support system around me and play and watch fun things outside of these reactions so I'm happy to continue learning about these heart-breaking moments in our history! It fascinates me a lot! But thank you so much for your kind concern!!
In real life, the double bowline is a knot Doss learned to tie and used in his work on the farm before the war. He was able to lower two men at the same time from the ridge.
I'm a U.S. Army war veteran and as much as I love all these war movies about American war heroism, I'd LOVE to see more movies about our UK allies in WWII. There's got to be a multitude of heroic stories of our allies!!!
Thank you for a truly wonderful reaction, I really enjoyed it! This is the first time to see your channel and your compassion shines thru so much I can promise it won't be the last of your work I watch. Have a Blessed day!
Aww that means the absolute world to me!! Thank you so much for your extremely kind word!! ❤️
Big fan of your channel
I had a great uncle named Francis “Pete” Kline who served in the US military during WWII and saw first hand the horrors in the Pacific on okinawa and Iwo Jima as a sergeant
He died of a heart attack sadly at 63 years old and had nightmares of his time in the service
His older brother (my great grandpa James (Elmer) Kline was a farmer who was 33 at the start of world war 2 and was needed more in the war effort in America, where he served our country by growing crops and livestock for troops like his younger brother over seas
If you want another amazing war movie to react to, “Black Hawk Down” is about the Battle of Mogadishu, in 1993. It has a great cast playing the real life people, amazing action sequences, and depicts the true brutality of war when plans go south
That is a great suggestion! Thank you so much!!
You mean what politicians interfere with the military. They had requested armor and C-130 gunship support due to where the target was in Bakara Market. It was declined by higher-ups in Washington DC. Plus, Chalk #4 was inserted into the wrong location (not mentioned in the movie but it is in the book) and had to fight their way over to where the extraction was supposed to be.
I subscribed after this reaction and am in the process of watching all of your reactions. I’ve heard black hawk down is a good movie. I can not watch it. Lost a brother in that battle. But I will still give you a thumbs up for it. My brothers should not be forgotten. I know I will never forget until we meet again in Valhalla to share a horn. NEVER FORGOTTEN USMC
I lived on Okinawa only 20 years after Hacksaw Ridge happened. It was a very quiet and pleasant place to live, but whenever it rained, bullets and even grenades would wash out of the soil.
A Japanese sniper that survived the Battle reported that several times he had Desmond in his sights for an easy shot but each time his rifle failed to fire.
Great men believe in something greater than themselves, evil men believe in their own desires, but men who believe in nothing are as such and should be soon forgotten.
So beautiful of a reaction! And the movie wasn’t able to portray how really bad it was, or how remarkable his feat was.
Thank you so much! And yes I heard that they held back to make it not seem too unrealistic even though it was his genuine experience and life! So amazing!!
I agree completely. Mel Gibson did try to give the audience something of the feel of being on the battlefield ourselves. He's especially good at that. Of course, it's nothing like actually being in a battle, but what can be done in a movie, Gibson does superbly.
Desmond Doss was, in fact, not the first conscientious objector to be awarded the Medal of Honor. He was the second. The first was Alvin York, who was awarded the Medal of Honor for valor during World War I. This does not take anything away from Doss's absolute courage or dedication.
American Sniper And Lone Survivor Are Awesome Movie Too..And Also TRUE STORY
Thank you so much for the suggestions!!
He did more then this movie showed but if it was put in a movie with "A true story" subtitle, people would just not believe it was true nor possible. He is a legend. Suffering malnutrition because all the food was meat (he was a vegetarian) and crackers and canned veggies on occasion (this is when flash-freezing started to preserve vegetables longer).
To steal a quote from John Wick 2 " The stories you have heard of this man, I can assure you have been watered-down. "
As a US Navy Hospital Corpsman (counterpart to Doss) his story was well known to me. One of my duty stations was 3rd Medical Battalion, Camp Hansen, Okinawa. While there I have the privilege of visiting Hacksaw Ridge (now a Peace Park). The moment was not lost on me, in fact 35 years later it still gets me.
By the time of Hacksaw, Doss and his unit had been in many battles, Okinawa was their 3rd campaign. The movie compreses this time. His battle was 5-6 days long. Doss argued with superiors he only saved 25 or so. Superiors said 100, they settled on 75. Battalion records show 140-150 men rescued by Doss.
You are a beautiful soul, it shines right out of you. Great reaction as always.
Thank you so very much! 🥺
He is a true hero 💪💪🙏🙏 he save many wounded warriors in battlefield 🙏
Respect all the soldiers who fight for there country in any war 🙏🙏
Throwin the knife at the feet is definitely a real thing I had a buddy miss and it went through another’s foot it was very hilarious
If possible, I recommend watching these good war movies in order. All would be in order of the War in the Pacific. The Great War of Archimedes (2019) - Pearl Harbor (2001) - Midway (2019) - Flags of our Fathers (2006) - Emperor (2012)
As with SPR, your reaction was real, beautiful & sweet. Much appreciated.
Aww thank you so unbelievably much!! 😊
he saved well over 100 people, but they only put 75 to make it more believable
Fantastic movie based on one of the best stories ever told. Love this!
Couldn't agree more! This story was so hard to believe but it was true and that's what made it so amazing!
Another great reaction. Love your true emotion. Another great movie, also true story, We were soldiers with Mel Gibson. Vietnam War, think you would enjoy. Again awesome reaction.
This is such a great channel, i love your reacts
Thank you so much...young lady for your incredibly passionate and moving and heartfelt reaction to this stunning movie!! What private Doss was nothing short of heroic....and its so gradifying to see so many people that are watching this film..being so moved by it as you were!!
this is the first reaction vid i have seen from you and to say the very least....you've made a fan and an admirer out of me!! In this often cruel and selfish world..its so moving and touching to observe a woman like you, giving homage and respect to this kind of movie and the principles behind it!!
P.S.
........ while im not 100% certain but i think i heard you describe yourself as an athiest in your comments!...as a Christian myself...it is my sincere hope that The Almighty Himself..may use this film to ..."tap you gently on the shoulder" and to tenderly begin to reveal to you that God not only exists..but that He Loves you so and wants to have an eternal relationship with you....starting with you believing that He exists!!....
This private Doss character...was..when you think of it...a perfect and symbolic picture of Jesus Christ....Gods Son......giving His life..in exchange for ours..that we may have eternal life and be forgiven and clensed from our sins if we believe and Receive Him into our hearts by faith!!.
.take care young lady and...God bless you and Keep you!!
Aww this comment is so beautiful I could cry! Thank you so much for your very kind words! I empathise and care so much for all the incredible humans that have gone through war and did their very best. Let alone the amazing person that Doss was! ❤️
Beautifully said. And true.
Very beautiful reaction to a incredible movie, thank you, that was great
Thank you so very much!!
You can think about Mel Gibson what you want, but he is one hell of a filmmaker.
Yeah, write me down for dropping one wounded person... maybe. 50? No chance; 75? Please. 100? No way. That's just crazy. Both crazy strong and crazy crazy! Best line in the film. "What are you guys waiting for?" "We're waiting for Private Doss to finish praying for us". Much respect.
The fact that you even helped one person proves you are heroic.
It is such a beautiful line I agree!
One of the most beautiful and emotional movies I've seen in my life. I also recommend the miracle Turkish version in the 7th ward.It's an excellent movie
i loved ur raw and honest reaction to this amazing true story
Thank you so very much! 😊
Years later some of the Japanese who fought at Hacksaw Ridge were interviewed for a film and they said it was extremely frustrating because they knew there was a medic out there and every time they got him in their sights their rifles would jam.
I know in this movie they state Desmond Doss was the first Conscientious Objector to be awarded the Medal of Honor, but he was actually the second. Desmond Doss was the first Conscientious Objector who refused to use a weapon, to be awarded the Medal of Honor, Alvin York was the actual first Conscientious Objector to be awarded the Medal of Honor during WWI. There is a movie which was made about Alvin York called Sargent York, it does not have the graphic war scenes, since the movie was made before they started allowing such graphic scenes.
My Gosh, how I love your live reaction! I enjoy of how you feel that. I really believe that your videos are not getting enough views
Aww thank you so much for your kindness!!
Love the reactions as always
My favorite war movie! Thanks!
Thank you for watching!!
Sobbing while watching this reaction
Beautiful reaction. Subscribed for band of brothers. Please keep up these beautiful genuine reactions. I'm looking forward to it!
Thank you so very much! I'm so grateful you enjoyed!! I'll react to Band of Brothers right after the Last of Us show and I can't wait to watch it with you all!
Ive seen 1000s of reactions.This one ,was the best by far.
That is so incredibly kind! Thank you so much! 🥺😊
One of my absolute favorite movies. From one soldier to another, thank you for bringing home our brothers’ Corporal Doss 🫡
The best weapon a man can arm himself with is love. The love of family. The love of your brother next to you. The love of country.
Omg such beautiful words!! Love is the greatest thing any human can give or receive!
Such a Sweet Reaction. God Bless
One fact that was left out because it was deemed to unbelievable for movie audiences to believe was after Desmond kicked the grenade he had to wait four hours for a strecther then when it came he insisted someone else get it, then had his arm shattered by a sniper forcing him to crawl to safety.
I love how sweet you are I love your reaction
Yay! I've been waiting for this one!
I hope you enjoy! ❤️
@@MovieJoob Yeah, I'm sure I will!
Hacksaw Ridge is arguably the greatest WWII movie ever made. Mel Gibson is such a great director. This is also Andrew Garfield's best performance in my opinion
Beautiful reaction!
This film and your reaction to it were phenomenal
Thank you so very much!!
I have read many of the reactions from others saying how much they enjoyed your reaction here and your kindness and sensitivity. I wish I could add more than I totally agree with them, but .......😉 I have subscribed as well and look forward to your reactions in the future. It is obvious you have a beautiful heart. The best to you always..💙✌
Awww this made me tear up! Thank you so much for your lovely words! I'm so grateful you have subscribed and I hope you enjoy all the content to come! 😊
I would totally recommend "All quiet on the western front", it takes place in WW1 and it is based on a book of a actual War Veteran which is meant to be a anti war book. These are fictional characters but based on the memorys of a real soldier. The visuals are excellent but also hard to watch. I would say that this is one of the best war movies out there. If you should watch this movie, pls watch the original version with german audio and english subtitles, that way you notice the emotions of the soldiers far better.
Sorry for my english, its not my first language.
We Were Soldiers is a must watch.
"Beautiful mornin' Sarn't Major!"
"What are you a fuckin' weatherman now?"
Thank you for the suggestion!
@MovieJoob its based on a book written by Joe Galloway who was a reporter at the time about Col Hal Moore who the movie is about called We Were Soldiers... Once and Young.
What a lovely young lady. These WW2 movies Hacksaw Ridge and the series Band of Brothers are based on real men who fought gave up their lives to fight a great evil.
Desmond's father was A US Marine who fought in the battle of Bella Wood. This was one of the first battles the US was involved in during WW1. The Marines were given the name Devil Dogs by the Germans. Due to the fact they would not give up ground and would fight on no matter the odds. These men suffered greatly later in life.
The exploits of Desmond Doss were watered down for this movie. He was a vegetarian that was starving the entire time of his service. As the primary calories were from meat and bread. He lived on canned vegetables, coconuts, and fruits Desmond could scrounge up.
His captain said Desmond saved over 100 men. When the Army asked Desmond in his humble manor said maybe around 50. So the US Army split the difference.
Great reaction Jade.
this movie is so incredible. genuinely one of the best war movies of all time.
