@@name4391 That's what I was thinking. I've gone my whole life being told to look people in the eye when I talk to them. It's hard for me to wrap my head around the fact that some consider it rude.
I imagine he was thinking: "If I survive this, when this war is over, I'm going to find that SOB sitting on the subway, sit behind him and crack his skull open with a bat." Or you could just be satisfied that when he went home after the war that he found his home and family burned alive in Tokyo in an incendiary raid.
I think he really did plan out a revenge plot against Watanabe when the war was over, and was going to fly to Japan and everything. He eventually realized that it was sending him into a very dark place, and putting his wife, and everything he cared about in jeopardy, so he let go. I can't imagine the guts it took to forgive Watanabe after all that had happened, but he did, and was even willing to meet with him in Japan. Watanabe wasn't as willing, however, and they never got to see each other.
He did, I read the book and it talks about how after the war his nightmares made him go mad and in one of his dreams he was strangling the bird and when he snapped out of it he found himself strangling his horrified wife. It was also causing him to be an alcoholic and he even groped a women. He would later find virtue in Christ and it helped reform both his life and marriage. He ended up living to almost 100 and stopped having nightmares.
i actually knew a guy who died recently called Norman who was actually friends with the real Zamperini in WW2 they were friends in the pow camp and the guy i knew used to protect Zamperini from the beatings so that is pretty cool how i know the dude who knows this man aka the olympic runner. serious no cap i swear on my parent's life that what I'm saying is true.
@@DigOleBickInya oh no a meme….You do realize our firebombing killed more citizens then both atomic bombs? And invasion of the mainland would have been like Okinawa x 10 with millions of deaths in the landings alone. And even if you don’t think that’s justified how about you learn what the Japanese did in Nanking? Or the Philippians where the bayoneted pregnant women and hung the fetus in the air. And that’s just what is documented. Modern Japan is a cultural icon but Japan in ww2 were worse then the Nazis but no ever talks about it because almost all the war criminals were pardoned. Either take a joke or get educated.
Louie was also lost at sea, dehydrated and malnourished before this moment, so he was already in pretty bad shape. Also the other guards probably would’ve stepped in and shot him or something.
In medeival times, Europe had a shortage of peasants. Feudal lords had to compete with eachother for peasants. This meant Peasantry gradually gained power/worth in society. In countries like Russia, China, and Japan, there was no such peasant revolution. Whipping and beating the lower class into submission, was all but common place. No different to Feudalism. Im Asian.

@@spawnhork255 They had a father/mother figure. However what they didnt have, was a peasant revolution like much of western europe had.

Ironically, looking in the eye is considered rude in Japan.
That's why he's hitting him. Watanabe is ordering him to disrespect Watanabe so he can hit him.
It is like those things that your parents ask you to do when they are angry. Don't do it!
So everyone like staring at the ground
It sounds like Japan “leaders” tryna make everybody else feel like pussies makin that rule! Just saying🤷🏽♂️

Thank God Louis Zamperini got saved and forgave japanese what a lesson it was!!! RIP Billy Graham
Billy Graham sucks.
We "forgave" them via the atomic bomb.
It takes some tubing divine to forgive those who treated you horribly and not wish them I’ll. With God all things are possible.
Brave men die for what they believe in.
That is what is happening with muslims :)
@@user-kd4rj1ff6t I think you mean extremists
@@morecherryglassmcgprocessi4675 Even extremists are brave, albeit blindly
The actor that plays bird is very convincing.
they could've picked a more stout looking actor, like the sword wielding guy who tried suicide attack with the mines from Letters from Iwo Jima
He acts precisely how I pictured him from the book. A true psychopath. Actor did an A+ job
1:39 starting to cry and staying quite same time right after someone yelled at you and treated you very badly. I feel a same way as he's feeling.
2:02 the most painful part of this scene🥺🥺🥺😢
Putting the nose back to it's place is not that painful. I had my nose on the side and I put it back on the center myself.
@nihilist1680 what the heck is wrong wrong you
@@QghdgdjdbdjdbhsgshsNihilists😂
It breaks my heart when that one drop of tear flows down after he was picked on and beaten and before all that he had had already gone through hell😢
This title could apply to half of the clips in the movie
Look at me, don’t look at me. Wtf make up your mind man.....
I’m pretty sure in Japan it is rude to look people in the eye. So he was telling him to look him in the eye so he could hit him
That was just how they were
He was a legit lunatic. Even the other guards thought he was off the rails.
Considering how many times he was hit in this movie, using the title, "Zamperini gets hit" is extremely vague.
they ripped his fingernails off ☠️
Sends chills down my spine thinking about that pain 🥶
I had my thumb nail ripped off by a van sliding door. Worst pain ever!! 😵

@@edwardwu7730 All he needed to do was compartment it in his mind. This guard wasn't worth forgiving.
Japan earned every bomb dropped on them. Including the nukes.

@@mdmarkoforgiveness isnt about whether they deserve it it’s about being a better person and about if you believe God wants us to forgive.
Years later the Queen invited the Japanese emperor to Buckingham Palace for cake and tea and a good old chin wagg.

i feel so bad for Louie he deal with so much stuff and he even forgave Wasanabi to HES such a amazing man RIP Louie Zamperini

Thats so cool omg
What if he kissed the asian guy?
Kiss me. 💋 "don't kiss me "!
bam, the war is over now
Then it will be a whole new story. That i would be very happy to read.
Only David Bowie can do that
Then it'd be on pornhub
Japan got too see the sun ☀️ real close up
damn that's harsh. Even Satan would frown upon such a joke.
Hell yeah they did.

@@Aviator-Chicken agree, there simply was not a better way. And on 2nd thought they simply deserved it.
I wouldn’t have a head for long there. I’d choke that little guy out after first hit
You do that his guys will pull you away before executing you or put you into the hole. That's right I seen shit that the Japanese do.
You would be killed right on the spot
@@shawnofdanaukota3843 that's why you kill him before you get executed. Take the fucker down with you.

I cant bear to watch this kind of thing.
How did these people grow up to be such bad people?
This is nothing, its war. People done far far worse
No father figure in their life
A rigid hierarchical society. I’ve met English public school types who are cruel and cold.

How long did they have to quarantine?
only the dead have seen the end of war- PLATO... opening credits to BLACK HAWK DOWN

Very very very very painful to be like Zamperini who got hit in the nose with a stick for looking at Bird in the eye like geez
Actions like these are why Hiroshima and Nagasaki were fully justified. After the war I would have returned to Japan and "visited" this guard.
Yes , a beat and greet such a nice catching up of war time acquaintances
War is war. Unfair and deadly. But at the same time it takes courage to know when to spare a life than it is to take one.
They are doing the same thing today....they have concentration camps and no one says a word.
no it wasn't that was only to show off to Russia
