Bro Desmond Doss was a man who didn't want a lot of publicity, when he was asked during an After Action Investigation he said he saved about 50 men, but witnesses and many accounts by those he saved totaled closer to 100 men, so the Army decided to split the total to 75. He TRULY did the Lord's work. An Angel without wings.❤

21:28 His dad had severe PTSD. He was broken by his experiences in the war. Seeing his son in uniform at that dinner table shook him. And yet he summoned up the courage to put his uniform back on to save Desmond. It’s amazing when you think about it. The line that gets me is Captain Glover approaching Doss after he’s back down from the ridge and he says “I didn’t know who you were”. I don’t know why but it moves me as much as anything else in this amazing movie.

"With the world so set on tearing itself apart, it don't seem like such a bad thing to me to want to put a little bit of it back together."

Location Location Fact: The battlefield sequence, overseen by Mel Gibson's longtime stunt double Mic Rodgers, was filmed on a small dairy farm (about one hundred square kilometres) near Sydney, Australia. Smoke trucks circled the perimeter to make sure any scenery that didn't look like World War II Okinawa was effectively blocked out.

@BigGator5 Жыл бұрын

Historical Fact: When asked how many lives he saved, Desmond T. Doss said approximately fifty. However, witnesses said it was closer to one hundred. A mutual agreement was reached at approximately seventy-five. PFC Doss was not wounded and evacuated in a daylight assault at Hacksaw Ridge. He was wounded a couple of weeks later in the Okinawa campaign during a night attack near Shuri. As per his Medal of Honor citation (noted above), he was wounded in the legs by a grenade, but had to wait five hours before stretcher bearers could reach him, during which time he dressed his own wounds. While being carried back to safety by three stretcher bearers, they were attacked by a Japanese tank. Doss crawled off the stretcher to a more seriously wounded man and insisted the others evacuate that soldier and then return for him. While waiting for the stretcher to return, he was shot by a sniper as he was being carried by another soldier. This caused a compound fracture of his arm, for which he improvised a splint using a rifle stock. He then crawled three hundred yards to an aid station for treatment.

Thank you for reacting to this movie. My dad grew up on a farm in North Carolina. He was a Marine on Okinawa as a very young man. He was a driver for the officers and that included the actor Tyrone Powell. So that’s usually all he would say to the family about it. I think he was shielding us. But once he watched a documentary on tv about the war and he cried and talked about the caves and the flame throwers and the screams. I think he finally needed to share the pain. You’re right. They need to teach students about this.🇺🇸🙏

Andrew Garfield was nominated for an Oscar for this performance. In my opinion he should have won that year. Once you see footage of the real Desmond Doss it becomes even more clear what a great job he did portraying him. Hugo Weaving also did a fantastic job playing a father with PTSD. He should have been nominated in my opinion as well. What I find interesting about this film is how many of the actors they used are NOT American... but you'd never know it because they did so well. Andrew Garfield is British, Sam Worthington (captain) is Australian and so is Luke Bracey who played Smitty. But Smitty was supposed to be from Brooklyn so he learned that accent and used it during filming. It's almost surreal to watch interviews with him now and see him speak with an Australian accent, he was just that good in this film. Shout out to Vince Vaughn too, for taking on a serious role and doing it justice.

THE DEFINITION OF LOVE: "Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: 2 By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. 3 And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience; 4 And patience, experience; and experience, hope: 5 And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us. 6 For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. 7 For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. 8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. 9 Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him. 10 For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life. 11 And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement."

He might have been a hero and had good in him, but passing down your trauma by victimizing your weak family with abuse certainly starts to eat into the built up good man credit he had earned prior. One would have to analyze how truly bad the bad times were in RL for Mrs. Doss and the boys. PTSD is an “understandable reason” we can sympathize with, but not an excuse or free pass for bad actions.

His violent tendencies were definitely an affect of the trauma. Can't excuse it all, but something to keep in mind so I don't see him as horrible as I used to think. Sad that even now, so many years later, our soldiers don't get proper mental healthcare.

There's a few side note that wasn't shown or mentioned in the movie. Well some I can remember reading about. 1: they actually estimated that Doss around 100 men on Hacksaw Ridge but Doss said it was around 50. So they compromised and said he saved 75 men. He did this all while being up there for about 12 hours. 2: while in training people would be complaining about he had it easy for not carrying a weapon or ammo but in reality he was carrying all the normal military gear (minus weapon an ammo) plus all his medical supplies and extra canteens of water. Which actually weighed more. 3: due to him being a Seventh Day Adventists his Sabbath was on a Saturday. So people would say he's slacking off but because everyone else was off on Fridays he was doing double duties and cleaning by himself. Also because of not eating meat from being a vegetarian it was harder for him to get a proper meal. Mainly when he was deployed. 4: when he was being carried out on the gurney he saw a wounded man and told them to put him down and use the gurney for the other man. Despite his injuries while waiting for them to come back with another gurney Doss crawled around on the ground giving aid to people near him. 5: about 5 years after the war Doss was admitted to a military hospital for PTSD for having reoccurring nightmare from the battle.

In some significant ways, this excellent true story of Desmond Doss was toned down to make it more believable. However, there are some things that were changed that you might want to know about. Doss and his unit had actually taken part in two previous Pacific island invasions before they got to Okinawa, and Doss had actually been decorated with the Bronze Star for Valor in both, so Desmond was already a well respected member of the unit before Hacksaw Ridge. You can understand why they decided to compress the story entirely to the Okinawa campaign to keep the story easier to understand. Some of the other changes they made are also understandable, such as they amped up the drama of the trial a lot, and the situation where he leaves his wife at the altar while he sits in a cell is not quite the way that happened. Also, in reality Hacksaw Ridge was out of range of naval gunfire...the Japanese chose the location in part to be safe from the fire of the really big guns on the battleships. The website History vs Hollywood article on this movie is pretty good, and covers most the of the stuff that they changed or were mistaken about. I strongly recommend checking out History vs Hollywood for after you watch movies based on real history. They are usually the best place to get solid information about historical inaccuracies in a very easy to understand format, when they have an article posted about the film in question.✌

It got a bit dusty in here this time. The Japanese were masters at building bunkers and tunnel complexes. The bunkers were typically well hidden and very tough, and often divided internally so a hit on one section would not take out the whole bunker. They also improved and expanded natural caves and tunnels. Altogether they created well concealed positions with interlocking fields of fire, pre-sighted artillery, etc. One of the early landings, Tarawa maybe, they saw how much less effective the Naval Gunfire was than predicted. Sure it tore up the island and did some damage to regular buildings, but the bunkers and caves tended to survive. Some of the occupants went crazy but others came out more than ready to fight. This and detailed engineering plans of the bunkers were sent up the chain of command, but they seem to have been little used, especially by MacAurthur's front. Some commanders had to fight hard for effective measures like capturing nearby small islands to place field artillery on (more stable firing platforms and greater availability), landing more tanks, destroyers getting in close to shot to fire point blank on bunkers, and air support. Plasma tends to have a yellow color to it. It is not saline like is often used but is an actual blood product. It may work better than saline as it is thicker and may slow bleeding and other factors.

I like think that if something like this happened in middle ages, we would have Saint Desmond, because what he was able to achieve was a real miracle. And even more interesting, his true story is even more unbelievable, so much so that they had to tone it down, so it would appear more realistic. Imagine being such a badass that they have to nerf you in a drama about your life.

Love this film and your reaction to it J. My father was in the Navy and my father in law was in the Army. Both served during war time. Sadly, they are both gone now. RIP on this memorial day for all the fallen and for those who left this mortal plane years after the wars they fought in were over. Every soldier carries their war on their shoulders and in their minds even after the fighting has ended. :(

I have to tell you that out of all the reactions I've seen on all the channels this is by far the best. An amazing movie about an absolutely unbelievable man and you more than did it justice. I've seen maybe half a dozen reactions to this film, and everyone is amazed and blown away by it. But you took it to heart like no one has. You HAVE heart like no one has. Thank you for giving so much of yourself to these reactions and sharing them with us.

the factn that they had to adjust the craziness that desmond actually did in this war because people in the world wouldnt believe he did what he did. the movie was actually less insane than the real life events. not to mention desmond being shot multiple multiple times and just powering throughout all night and day rescuing men.

Hard to believe this was a real hero. One of many unsung heros of the world. Movies about war get to me. Especially ones that show heavy deaths like this and Saving Private Ryan. My uncle (R.I.P.) was in Vietnam and was severely injured when an enemy plane flew overhead and dropped a bomb on the camp he was sleeping in for the night. He survived with fragments all over his body (a lot of them could not be removed). and everytime I saw the wounds to his arms and legs it just reminded me of the unimaginable pain and horror he must have seen and went through.

Check out the military record of Audie Murphy. A little guy (5'4"), he was later a movie star. He was one of the most decorated American combat soldiers of World War II. Murphy received the Medal of Honor for valor at the age of 19 for single-handedly holding off a company of German soldiers for an hour in France in January 1945 - while standing alone atop a burning tank, before leading a successful counterattack while wounded and out of ammunition. He also had 3 Purple Hearts,

Thank You for your review of this historical event and movie. I wanted to add my comment as to the record for Doss; I read that the scene depicting Doss praying for the men, all those men returned, however during another action the commander(s) cut short Doss praying before they were to engage, and the casualty list was more devastating. I always cry when considering how much these individuals sacrificed and suffered, and remember they fought for each other. May their lives/souls be blessed with Peace. Strength & Honor 🎖 🥇 🙏.

Don't apologize for not cracking jokes brother, your reactions are real raw and honest, that why we're here. Alot of reactors try and entertain the audience instead of reacting to the movie honestly, wich is annoying and fake. You are a naturally funny guy so there's always something to laugh about with you (cracking jokes or not). I've been waiting for this one (Hacksaw Ridge) from you and as per usual its the best reaction out there, trust me i know cause i've seen them all. Don't know why this channel doesn't have the most subscribers yet , its the best out there. Keep doing what your doing. Keep it real and God Bless you and the puppies, brother.

The war in the Pacific for the Navy, Marines & Army. Was the most god awful brutal intense warfare there has ever been. Guadalcanal, Guam, Iwo Jima, Okinawa, The Marshall Islands, Midway, Battle of Philippine Sea. Guys came home so messed up. So many just couldn't recover. This was very graphic. But the actual smell of combat is what sticks with you. The sulfur, the decay of the bodies. Horrible. As brutal as this film was. It still don't come close to how horrific it actually is.

If it were possible to convey the true horror of war to people who have never experienced it, I imagine it would be a lot harder to start one. That's a hell of a thing for me to say, because I've never been to war--but two of my best friends from high school came back from Afghanistan as completely different people, and when they say there's no way to comprehend war without living it, I absolutely believe them.

Great reaction. I remember decades ago buying a little paperback copy of a book about his life for my young daughter who loved true stories. his faith in the reality of the Christian God is inseparable from his bravery and character. Truly amazing and yes, supernatural story, of God moving mountains through a man of small physical stature.
