Preach! My favorite line in the whole film by far. Next up is Bible's whole speech about Here am I, send me.

The scream after was so painful

@@Diegesis next fil "We were soldiers".

@@marcinm2767 YESSSSS

I get chills at that scene every time. So real.

I liked him in Disturbia as well, but that was a different Shia LaBeouf. I considered him a child actor for that role, so it just hits different than his performance in this film. Lawless wan't bad either.

Well he's a method actor and I read something about him wearing that uniform the whole time, just so he can smell like ass and everything xD

this and transformers

@@sgt1terrence yeah and the cuts on his face are real. He took a knife to his face in the mirror because he wanted to respect everyone who served in that war and thought face makeup wouldn't do that justice.

@@codyschmidt510 if you seen The Tax Collector you can see the scar on Shias face

Totally agree. Beautiful scene

The music is perfect in this entire movie.

The GOAT hodgetwins compiler. Funny seeing you here

its disqusting

@@Diegesis i have a movie recommendation for you : Come and See. i will warn you though that shit will give you nightmares, it will also disturb you to think that rather than all this being a fiction it was reality in the 40's all over eastern europe, think how ww1 left behind bodies and un-exploded ordinance found to this day from 1915-1918 and realize that people still find things like that from ww2 to this day all over eastern europe, some people even find old german equipment stored behind such as mg42s and such. They do get some details wrong and some events were done by other units but mainly inspired by the notorious Dirlewanger brigade en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dirlewanger_Brigade but its still a very well done film despite some of these inaccuracies and it pulls no punches in the depictions of horror, John Carpenters The Thing ain't got shit on this level of violence and again im going to stress this do not watch if you are bummed out or if its dark outside and you are alone in the house like have your sister or mom or grandma or someone nearby

Shia said he found God while filming this movie. God open up his heart.

😂🤦🏻‍♂️

@@lukeskywalker6809 what?

Not religious in anyway. but that line is epic. Shia is ridiculously talented. Just needs to lay off the sauce.

@@sayjinpat4life No way in hell it wasn't a PR move to help rebuild his reputation. No way.

Hes a weird dude, and still was amazing in his role. Truly top notch.

I think he was superb, just the look in his eyes

@@davidriddell9455 show me a master artist that's normal.

Damn, I didn't think of that and I've seen this movie multiple times

Woah, trip out

That right there is my friend is one ☝️ of the reasons why this movie is amazing 🤩 and how stupid,idiotic and no taste these haters have😂😂

@@mikehawkhovers9872 My thoughts exactly! Great comment from @DasTemplar

@@alexvasquez6793 Is it accurate? Not always. But it certainly has great writing and character details. If you really focus on the conversations and know a decent amount of WWII history, you’d be amazed how much subtle backstory there is in this film for our characters. This is one of those films that lets the details tell their share of the overall story. Ngl, it took me a couple viewings to fully understand certain scenes, but once I did, it really made me appreciate how actually well made this war film was. The story of the horses alone tells us where they were during the Liberation of France. Gordo was talking about the Falaise Pocket where the entire German 7th Army was encircled and wiped out by the combined forces of American, British, Canadian, and Polish. For such subtlety in referring a major event on the Western Front, this shows how much history the filmmakers cared for while making this flick.

Thank you for your service.

Sounds cool

Killing people and making it through makes it the best job you’ve ever had? That is sad.

Getting rocked by IDF sucked balls too, afterwards we all had our bells rung and one of us said something along the lines of "Wonder if we can hit it back with a bat..." For whatever reason that was the most hilarious fucking thing ever at the time

It’s such a good dynamic in the film, too. At the beginning, Norman spares a kid & it gets a member of his team killed. At the end, Norman is saved by another kid who was probably in a very similar situation to Norman at the beginning of the film. Fucking tragic. Norman sacrificed his humanity in the end to save his comrades, and was saved by the very thing that got his friends killed.

I completely agree, the only rebuttal or counter argument I have for this statement is the fact that the SS or Schutzstaffel were monsters. They were essentially Hitler private funded army and were almost devote to him like he was a messiah (obviously that's exaggeration but for the point). The reason its so shocking for the soldier in this clip to not turn in him was because he was SS (you can tell by the pin on his collar (ᛋᛋ). The normal Wehrmacht were as you put it "just humans". The Wehrmacht were there as the main military force of Germany and were just serving their country whether some of them thought it was right or wrong couldn't have mattered because if they weren't "right" they would've been stripped of their ranks and sent to CCs like all the other prisoners. But as I said, your statement is completely right, the high command of the third Reich were monsters who forced the lower ranking soldier who didn't have a say into their bidding. A really good movie that touches on this and the monster high command is "Valkyrie (2008) starring Tom Cruise" it shows some Soldier and Higher Ranking officers who saw and acted on the immoral nature of what the third Reich was doing! Concluding back to my original statement, that is the reason why it was so shocking, is because the lore or history behind the SS were no prisoners and how they were such monsters. But yes!

@@synodicwish indeed. To be fair, though, the war was in its death throes. At this point, the German army including the SS included young boys & aging men who were forced into compulsory service because most of the experienced/veteran SS troops were killed on the Eastern front. By the time the Germans finally pulled out of Russia, it was far too late. Too many men & resources had been expended that were not easily replaceable. (For example, a major flaw of the infamous “Blitzkrieg” tactic is that the armored columns pushing up & laying waste to everything often times outpaced & lost their logistics/supply divisions leaving perfectly good armor often times just stranded in the middle of nowhere. By 1942, Germany was nearly out of fuel completely.) So to that end, I could very easily see the young SS boy as having been in the right place at the wrong time: being born into an aristocratic family, being brought up in a Hitler Youth program, whatever, the fact that he’s so young is a clue & a historical fact that the SS were not the same group by the end of the war. Though many of them were.

​@@synodicwish As a German who studied this era quite a bit, I want you to consider to differentiate: Not every member of the SS was a monster. Especially in the end of the war, the Waffen-SS recruited even schoolboys who were more or less forced to join them. I once read an autobiography, in which a then 15-year old boy described, when in the last months of the war, a SS-leader showed up in his school and wanted them to join his unit. He used such psychological pressure on the boys that nearly all joined him. The author "defended" himself with the argument, that his parents had forbidden him to join the SS and that he should be part of the Wehrmacht. The SS-leader accused him of cowardice and humiliated him as a little, effiminated puss, but eventually had to give in. And to stress an important fact: the Wehrmacht as an institution worked with the SS hand in hand and was equally criminal. There are lot's of sources that imply that ordinary Wehrmacht soldiers participated in the killing of innocent civilians (the shooting of Jews had even its term, the "Judenschießen", female soldiers of the Red Army were quite often simply executed). The killings. including the Holocaust and the "Generalplan Ost" (the murdering between 60 and 80 mio. Slawic human beings to create "living space in the East" ("Lebensraum im Osten" ) were often euphemized as "actions against partisans" when in fact whole villages were wiped out. Some of these soldiers showed their contempt for these crimes in different sources, some even saved other humans, but all too many were far too indoctrinated in NS- ideology. And you are correct, that men were forced to participate, quite literally: If you had a certain age, then your refusal to be a soldier, would cost you your head. And the movie depicts correctly the madness in the last months of the war, when even teenagers were hanged by fanatical Nazis and some deranged generals (like this son of a bitch Ferdinand Schörner who had to be put under Soviet guard in POW camps because his own German comrades had killed him, if they had got the opportunity). It is complex, and remember that even "monsters" are humans after all. History is never only white and black, even if this topic has the darkest colouring.

To be fair that was an SS battalion. By and large SS wanted to be SS. They voraciously supported the cause. It wasn’t like the regular German army where people were forced to enlist or did out of fear for their life. They signed up, many of them brainwashed of course from growing up in the Hitler Youth, but absolutely thinking they were serving a purpose. That being said, IMO, that scene fit well with Norman’s storyline. The SS soldier was a kid, likely hadn’t seen battle similar to Norman at the beginning of the movie. Norman let a kid live himself (although that kid attacked a tank and was killed by others). It was sort of Karmic…like Grady said even in war it was clear Norman was a good person, and he ended up being spared by a kid.

Yeah possibly my favorite scene

Its also out of place, because God is nowhere in that butchery of human lives

@@undrielgrenger53 then you've never read the old testament friend.

@@undrielgrenger53 yeah but it was still pretty violent. Moses litterally had all his wife’s people who traveled with the hebrews killed because some of them were marrying with hebrews and caused some of them to worship their gods🤷🏾‍♂️🤷🏾‍♂️

@@undrielgrenger53 not to mention they would kill entire populations in towns

Truth!

The Australian Armour & Artillery Museum has recently rebuilt a late Tiger 1 from collected pieces. There's plans to get it running BUT not with the original Maybach. They're also currently working on a Jagdpanther and a Stug III, clips are on KZfaq.

too bad that scene was kinda bad on another hand I saw that tank an touched it this summer thing is bigger than you think, also saw that fury tank in action driving around

@@michaelmclachlan1650 actually the only running tiger 131 is not even full original they used engine from tiger 2.

@@GoGicz The HL230 theyre using was used in the later versions of the Tiger 1 aswell, and the Panther. The original HL210 on it was only used in the very first Tiger 1s produced.

@@admiralfloofz658 hmm i see i heard it was from the tiger 2 but idk.

Hey, I was in Baghdad, too (2003-2004) . Hoorah!!!

Thank you both. I had friends there. Lost one after he got back. Had a deep connection with him as I was one of the very few if not the only one he would talk to about what it did to him being there. Sniper EOD Airborne. Dustin was a hell of a kid. He was in 2010-2014. Brain cancer jumped his ass shortly after coming home. Depleted uranium is a hell of a thing.

1st CAV, OIF 06-08. Lets throw some f--king lead downrange.

More than a few tanker buddies of mine love how accurate this movie is

same i miss my friends

It's based on an incident that took place in April '45: the Tiger destroyed 3 Shermans before the 4th one killed it. Only way to kill a Tiger, was from behind.

People think it would be like Kursk but in reality in ww2 tanks are usually in defensive roles

You're right, the Tiger would have been dead after it's first shot.

Absolutely correct. Only experienced crews were in tigers, they would have stayed hidden or reversed away to exploit the long range of the powerful main gun.

@@jasonbarnes9781 yea and the firing on the move was a no no

Yes! this line impacted me so hard in the theater I wrote it down

Well said.

It's nice to play pretend, if only for a few hours. Nobody wants to be in that situation, but going on a "date" is a helluva lot better than getting shot at or blown up.

My great Uncle was in 3rd Army going into Germany. He and a few others got cut off in a German village, and figured they were screwed. Long story short, a local woman took them into her house, hid them from the German army, fed them, washed their uniforms, and got them soap and water to bathe. Same uncle talked about how they would execute prisoners for about a week after they liberated a concentration camp. He had mixed feelings about Germans.

Thank you for sharing this. It makes the parts of the movie more believable..

It's understandable that when people have to cram an entire lifetime of experiences into a relatively small timeframe, fears and inhibitions go out the window

Yeah thats my favorite scene

As far as I know, the actual inspiration (and major source for this movie) was the book "Death Traps" by Belton Cooper. It's become infamous for being known as "the one book people cite about Sherman tanks" despite Belton Cooper not knowing really anything about tanks or armored warfare (he literally worked as a liaison, his job in the war was counting destroyed tanks and driving the report back to HQ, he wasn't a tank driver, tank mechanic or strategist). It comes from a passage in his book where he recounts a story he was told about a Sherman tank that was stranded during an attack. The story pans out almost exactly as it does in the movie, with the crew fighting a horde of German soldiers until only one of the crew is left alive. Historians believe this story to have been a twist and exaggeration of Audie Murphy's exploits, and can find no evidence it ever actually happened. Or hell, it could be a story inspired by the one you're talking about.

The 3 tank missions in Battlefield 1 are inspired from that.

Why?

PIP really has a market though don't she? lol thanks for the kind words :) We're gonna try to do schindlers list soon

Agree

Do you like tears?

Is anyone really ready for Schindler's list?

@@TheTurinturumbar no, they think they are, and then that movie breaks them
