When I first saw this movie I assumed it was yet another instance of Hollywood over dramatizing events. I then looked into the real life actions of Desmond Doss and found that he did way more than the movie even shows.
The guy was a superhero fr super human
@Justus Chester Doss is definitely worthy of Thors Hammer. The funny thing is he'd probably use it to build stuff.
Mel Gibson said the same thing. He accomplished so much more but Mel said the movie would be way to long for the studio to approve the length and also said he tried to keep it as believable as possible because the general public would not believe the things Desmond did on not only this battle but others as well. He did things that can only be looked at as miracles and Mel Gibson said people would not believe it and bash the movie for being over the top Hollywood.
He literally lobbed back grenades with his hands...
The whole battlefield we saw was HEAVILY dramatized, it took me out of the movie completely.
RIP Desmond Doss (February 7, 1919 - March 23, 2006), aged 87
You will always be remembered as a legend and a hero.
how about as a man of God
Desmond Doss is from my hometown. He has a school here named after him and his childhood home is used to house homeless veterans.
Desmond Doss is one of only a few contentious objectors to receive the Medal of Honor, America's highest military honor for valor above and beyond the call of duty. The Medal of Honor is often awarded posthumously. Hugo Weaving should have won an Academy Award for his performance of a broken man suffering from PTSD.
and was the first....
"conscientious" 😁
Though the film certainly depicts his decision as also being very contentious.

@@jdm1066 🤭
funny thing is, they took a lot of feats Doss really has done, out of the movie because they thought it would be too unbelievable.... doss was a real hero...
I would say Saint
@Gah Dene LOL
this movie is overall great... but acting-wise Hugo Weavings performance, at least in my opinion, was outstanding.... the way he portrait the survivors guilt, the self loathing and the agony from what he had to endure... just outstanding....
Yeah, the film is packed with great roles but Weaving is a giant amidst them and he has only a few scenes.
I love how Blue pointed out that the Court scene shows how great and honor driven a man Hugo *was* before the trauma and that he *is* still buried underneath
He blows me away in this. Absolutely incredible!
My grandfathers very much went through the same thing when they went to war in 1942 in Egypt they were only 19 years old so young and they were killing other young soldiers 😢😢. They were in the 28th Maori battalion of NZ 🇳🇿army.
Sadly both killed in action (K.I.A) they never once had the chance to return still to this day they are buried in European battle grounds.
One died in Casino Italy 🇮🇹
One died in Berlin Germany 🇩🇪 (from my understanding by way of a German tiger tank)
They were my inspiration to become a soldier of NZ 🇳🇿
Thank you guys ❤❤❤❤
War takes so many innocent lives at such a young age away…. My issue is with the demon leaders that can’t find other ways to mend fences……. Thank you to all the New Zealand people who sacrificed so much in this horrific war….🇺🇸🇳🇿🇦🇺🇬🇧🇮🇪🏴🏴🇨🇦

Trixy, your reaction was the most amazing one I have ever seen. Your tears made me cry just as much as you were. I know Doss would have loved all the love and care you had for him in the film. You are among the most caring people I have seen in my life. I have seen this film a few times in the past and a few reactions as well. Yours just blew me away! I served in Vietnam as a rifleman, and we all loved the medics we had but this is the best story ever about these brave men.
I served on submarines right after the Vietnam war, and the hospital corpsman on our boat had previously been a medic for the marines in Vietnam as marines have no medics of their own. He was a true hero.
I agree her reactions are some of the most beautiful and heartbreaking I have seen. She seemed to experience so much and it never fails to show on her face.
@@Tampahop My Dad was a Navy Corpsman. He spent his time fixing Marines from Korea to Vietnam until he started being posted to aircraft carriers in the late 60's.
23 years of fixing people.
He was one of the first wave of Physicians assistants in the civilian world. The position didn't exist until the medical field had to find a place for all the combat medics that were coming out of the war far more qualified than a EMT or paramedic. They had done things like surgery under battle field conditions because they had no other option if they did want their friend to die in their hands.
Those Corpsman and medics also invented a trauma emergency equipment on the fly. They had a need so they built something that would fill the need.
I’m not super Religious but the respect I have for strong convictions definitely does make me tear up. Also the chemistry in the 1st half of this movie is out of this world.
Yawn 🥱
"Andrew Garfield always makes me cry, a lot" Oh sweet summer child. 👀
My god, your expression when the battle scenes started... here, take a hug. 🤗
Great emotional reaction! ❤
My dad fought the Japanese in www. A hero. Shot through and through, the spleen. He patched himself up, front and backside. With mud, leaves, Tshirt strips, and field bandages. Didn't take himself off the battlefield, until the battle was done. He told me a couple stories, about the horrors of what Japanese soldiers would do to American soldiers. He harbored a lot of hate towards Japanese, and Asians in general, for a long time. Jesus finally got a hold of him, and cleaned his heart out. He was a real man, I hope that when I see him again, he'll be proud of me. Good to see a person like u, much younger than me, can still be touched by ear heroes like this, and still understand what it means to be an individual, and free.
This is probably my favorite war movie. The scene where Desmond in on the edge of the cliff and starts talking to God. "What is it you want of me? I don't understand. I can't hear you." And the very next thing he hears is men screaming for help. He says. "Alright". And goes straight back into the line of fire without hesitation or doubt. It gets me every time. Not to be preachy, but if you don't believe in anything, I would challenge you, if only for a short time, to seek out God and his purpose for you in life. Maybe you will find something you didn't know was there before. Amazing reaction! Great film!
Now you should look up "Desmond Doss -This is Your Life" to meet his family and some of the men he saved. It can be found here on YT.
Perhaps the only war movie in history to downplay the heroics of one man to make it more believable. The world needs more people like Desmond.
I think what you are trying to express is that he seemed 'touched by the divine'. In some interviews with men that he served with, they described how they watched him run through a *rain* of bullets that were fired at him, and *not one bullet* hit him! In another case an enemy soldier, from just a few yards [meters] away, tried to shoot him, but the guy's gun jammed - so Desmond lived!
'Watched over' it would seem!
Loved your reaction! Obviously it hurt, but every tear was a tribute to Desmond Doss, which he more than earned/deserved!
And yeah, it's sad that there are people who want power, to rule over people ... whether those people say 'yes' or 'no', so some have to resist, even to the point of death!
P.S. - I agree with others here - _"Lone Survivor"_ and _"Saving Private Ryan"_ and _"Braveheart"_ ... are all movies you should watch (with tissues handy)! _"Lone Survivor"_ is another true-life story, and, like this one, is hard to watch!
_"Braveheart"_ is termed a 'Historical Dramatization', as it's loosely based on the story of William Wallace, centuries ago. Another that's similar is _"Rob Roy"_ - it's also an amazingly good movie, with Liam Neeson in the title role. Those two, along with _"The Patriot"_ are my absolute favorite historical dramas! If you watch all three in a row (you *will need* a little break between them, to recover and get ready for the next one!) - you will be so proud of how hard people will fight against Tyranny, even with all the horrible things they have to go through!
_You should _*_definitely_*_ check them out!_
As an Army veteran that is 100% disabled. Largely due to P.T.S.D. I must say that your compassion towards the troops and his dad's P.T.S.D. is most refreshing coming from a person so young as yourself.
God bless Blue. And thank so much for your tears of sympathy!
thank you for your service
The Red and White too 😊
Trixy Blue. I live in Virginia. Im so glad I got to meet him. One of the greatest people
seeing you giggle over the 'private parts joke, when you had no idea of the horrific trauma coming, was sweet. Great film of an amazing man.
When that green flare went up, in Doss' dream, and Trixy started inching closer towards the screen, it was at this moment I knew, she was going to be scared shitless! Great reaction!
ah trixy you make a grown man cry...ur expressive and kind love it
I believe the soldiers termed it 'Hacksaw Ridge' was due to the numerous body parts that had been lost and the severity of the wounds, as if someone had taken a hacksaw and cut the bodies up. In Vietnam, one of the bloodiest battles was fought at a place called 'Hamburger Hill'. It had nothing to do with cows. What makes Doss story so much more heroic is late in the war years, the Japanese specifically targeted anyone marked with a Red Cross identifying them as medical personnel. This was forbidden under the Geneva Convention. The reason the Japanese did this was because they knew if they wounded several troops, there would be a medic who would risk his life to save their wounded buddies. That's why medics/corpsman always carried a rifle or a pistol, to defend themselves as they tried to save the lives of others. Doss did not carry any defensive weapons.
If all men thought like Desmond, there would be no war. Unfortunately, that is not the world we live in. Thomas Jefferson said: "The tree of liberty must be refreshed, from time to time, with the blood of Patriots and tyrants."
You have a pure soul, Blue. Keep up the great reactions.
Your reaction is why I keep watching hacksaw. From my relatives on the mayflower, great grandfather, grandfather, dad, brothers, step son serving in the service, I want to thank you. Such caring you showed as you didn't hold back. War is atrocious, this film shows it, but your tears broke my heart. My navy vet brother and his vet wife will both be interned in Arlington. Peace and Prayers for our service people.
I think this is one of my favorite reactions of this movie. That first fighting scene where you just stayed quiet and watched all the events with the tears coming down is a real reaction ... 99% of reactors feel they need to constantly talk when in fact their silence and emotion speak more than words ever could. Talking usually causes them to miss something or not be fully engulfed in the moment.
I thought the same, her silence spoke sooo much
Before Andrew Garfield was Spider-Man he appeared in two episodes of Doctor Who with David Tennant. One was called Daleks In Manhattan and the other is called Evolution of The Daleks
“Why are they so full of hate?” The Japanese military at that time was still heavily influenced by the bushido… a code of conduct that dated all the way back to the era of the samurai. So they really weren’t full of hate. But their culture at the time said that it was far more honorable to die in battle, or even by suicide, than it was to surrender to the enemy. So that’s why battles like Okinawa, Iwo Jima and Guadalcanal were fought almost literally to the last man on the Japanese side.
Do some research on the Rape of Nanking for instance though. There was a vast difference in societal midset pre Meji/Imperial expansion and after the war. Alot of the Imperal army were indeed monsters. You could say because the lower classes weren't treated like human beings, but still...
Partly correct. Due to Japan’s long standing history of isolationism, aside from the ‘innovation’ brought by the traders, the Japanese mindset was very much still looking down upon foreigners, this could be seen as how they treated the South East Asians as a lesser people. In their eyes, killing a lesser enemy is nothing, and they are doing a deed that brings ‘honour’ to their family and town so they fight the emperor’s war.
That might be a part of it, but Hacksaw Ridge takes place on Okinawa, an island with a fairly troubled history, but one that the Japanese definitely believed was THEIRS. One of the first pieces of Japanese land, their home country, so they fought harder, to the last man, because a foreign invader was on THEIR land. Every civilization in human history has fought harder and more savagely in defense of what's theirs than in a war of conquest.
The cross, is what unconditional love, looks like. 💛
The part where Desmond on the Edge of the Ridge and asked the Lord, what is it what he wants him to do? Desmond heard words Medic someone was calling for Medic. Desmond knew what his Lord wanted him to do. Desmond got his Helmet and going into the explosions from the artillery shells from the Battleships. When he was going into the explosions it reminded me a verse.
Psalm 23:4 “Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.”
As a veteran I am proud to see today’s interest in the military genre of movies. The advances in special effects have presented such an immersive visual effect, those without military experience can get a little idea of the “HARSH REALITY” our military can face. I had the honor to attend a special showing of “Saving Private Ryan” the second week of its theatrical release. The first two rows (floor level and one up) were reserved for WWII veterans & family. Just before the coming attractions showed, approximately 20 people were ushered to their seats. At the end only subdued sniffles and sobs could be herd with NOONE moving to leave. After a brief pause the first of the veterans got up to leave, while the rest of us in attendance gave them ALL a standing ovation as they left. There seems to be a flow-over effect of people watching some older movies; “Full Metal Jacket”, “Platoon”, “M*A*S*H”, “Apocalypse Now” etc. I think these movies are great but need to be viewed with the filter of social commentary for the time they were made.
I would like to see reactions to two older movies, based on two of the most decorated war heroes. These movies, though not posing the fantastic special effects of today’s movies, contain just as much interest by the simple act of storytelling.
The first is the story of one of the most decorated soldiers of WWI. The main character of the story (Alvin C York) chose actor Gary Cooper to portray him. Released in September 1941, just before America entered WWII, “Sergeant York”.
The second story is about the MOST DECORATED soldier of WWII. The movie not only adapted from his autobiography (Audie Murphy) but starred him as well. From October 1955, just over ten years after the end of the war “To Hell and Back”.
Maybe the best war movie I've seen and it made me cry so much 😭. Doss was a true hero and Andrew did incredible job in the role. I'm glad you're finally reacting to this Blue 💙.
Desmond Doss had the firm conviction that a vow he made to God was binding, period.
Without firing a shot, he saved more than 70 soldier and did so risking his own life.
You need to watch the movie about the first Conscientious Objector to be awarded the Medal of Honor, Desmond Doss was the second Conscientious Objector to be awarded the Medal of Honor. The Movie Sargent York is about Alvin York, the first CO to be awarded the Medal of Honor. The movie about Alvin York does not pull the heart string like Hacksaw Ridge does, since the movie was filmed back in the 40's, but it is still a good movie.
York was initially a conscientious objector, but eventually was convinced that fighting and killing weren't incompatible with his religious beliefs.
@@Stevarooni York was a Conscientious Objector, and his Commanding Officer asked him after he killed all the men during the battle, about being a Conscientious Objector. Alvin explained it saying he realized the machine guns were killing many men and he realized if he silenced the machine guns, he would save many lives.
Your beautiful human reaction has definitely earned you another subscription. As a Christian this movie hits me deeply and I can only hope to serve God as Desmond did.
Miracles do happen. I have a friend who is a veteran of three tours in Afghanistan and saw some things happen that are completely inexplicable and not possible any other way.
I highly recommend the movie DOWNFALL (2004).
I second this, Bruno Ganz is scarily good in that film.
Hi Trixy Bleu, one underlying theme in this movie can also, be found in the movie" Sgt. York (1941). It's an interesting film based on an actual man and his family. It's interesting how history nearly repeats itself in " Hacksaw Ridge ".
This movie is based on the actions of Desmond Doss, The Medal of Honor citation lays out some of the reality:
The President of the United States of America, in the name of Congress, takes pleasure in presenting the Medal of Honor to Private First Class Desmond Thomas Doss, United States Army, for conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity in action above and beyond the call of duty from April 29 - 21 May 1945, while serving with the Medical Detachment, 307th Infantry Regiment, 77th Infantry Division, in action at Urasoe Mura, Okinawa, Ryukyu Islands.
Private First Class Doss 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. Private First Class Doss refused to seek cover and remained in the fire-swept area with the many stricken, carrying them one-by-one 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 two days later he treated four men who had been cut down while assaulting a strongly defended cave, advancing through a shower of grenades to within eight yards of enemy forces in a cave's mouth, where he dressed his comrades' wounds before making four 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, Private First Class 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 five hours before litter bearers reached him and started carrying him to cover. The trio was caught in an enemy tank attack and Private First Class 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 one 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 Private First Class 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.
They even toned Doss' accomplishments down for the movie because they thought the reality would seem to unbelievable.
Imagine this...this is maybe 50% of what the real story is....they didn't and couldn't show all he did because they were afraid no one would believe it. Andrew Garfield did this role so justice and showed such emotion, in my top 5 movies of all time
The vast majority of veterans don't speak of their experiences, if you weren't there you will never understand...
He was twice awarded the Bronze Star Medal for actions on Guam and in the Philippines. Doss further distinguished himself in the Battle of Okinawa by saving an estimated 75 men, acting on his own, becoming the first of only three conscientious objectors to receive the Medal of Honor for this and other actions.
Great movie again and love how you show respect to veterans.
I know they did what they did because they thought they had a good cause, but at the end of the day, every wars always boiled down to:
"Young foreigners killing young foreigners just because a bunch of geriatric white dudes wearing business suits and ties told them to. Because of: Freedom/Jesus/Communism - choose whatever reason that will help you sleep at night. Now go, kill people in the name of Whatever and win my way. We'll give you a shiny medal. Like a dog."
Lord knows the merican government doesn't respect veterans that's for sure!
I knew about PFC Doss for a long time before this movie. Bravest man ever to put on the uniform, full stop. Also in WW2 the Japanese were not targeting plasma. They were however specifically targeting medics (who wore obvious markings as such) a direct violation of the Geneva Conventions.
I appreciate the intensity and passion of your reactions, Blue. The Pacific theater of World War 2 was particularly brutal, as was the war in Russia. These movies are a good intro to history, but only an introduction.
Such a moving story. Also look up here for maybe the greatest soldier ever, Roy Benevides, and what he did, in Vietnam. I actually met him once, when I was in the 82nd Airborne. For a live party/Benefit. U
should check out some other true like or true story movies. 13 hours, Lone Survivor, once we were Soldiers , Blackhawk Down, saving Private Ryan, Braveheart, 1917, Dunkirk, thin Red Line, Unbroken.
Mel Gibson and his company did Braveheart, Once we were Soldiers, and this movie u are watching. The main writer/producer of his movies, is a distant relative, of William Wallace!!!😮😮😮
It's a kid I met Roy Benevides, he spoke at our school
The look of absolute horror on your face when they got to the top of the ridge is priceless
So I've actually spent half my life living in the main characters home town Lynchburg Virginia. As much as I'd like to tell everyone it's a cool place to live it's unfortunately been more known for televangelism, creationism, and idiotic religious fundamentalism since the 1970s. The entire city is basically owned by religious fundamentalists. Jerry Falwell opened Liberty University here which is essentially a creationism college and is unfortunately the city's main claim to fame as well as a massive portion of it's economy now. They actually claim to have a dinosaur fossil that's "provably" only 2,000 years old or less because they believe the Earth is only at most 2,000 years old. They got this number from essentially adding up what they assume to be the average human lifespan to every lineage in Genesis. Richard Dawkins once described Liberty as an "educational disgrace" and said if someone is currently attending they should leave and go to a "proper university". The city basically bends over backwards for the university which is currently under investigation for not reporting or investigating several rapes on it's campus. It's so bad they actually managed to drive Planned Parenthood out of the city.
dont worry trixey, im a 57 year old guy, i served as a medic, i cried the same.
As SDA, I learned of Desmond Doss when I was a kid. His story, his actions, his beliefs still encourage me. This movie is really good.
It may interest you to know that Doss had tuberculosis at the time of hacksaw ridge to which he later lost a lung to, he had to stiffle his coughing so not to give away his location while finding injured soldiers. It took nearly 9hours to find his bible and his brothers in arms would not rest till they found it another few battalions joined in the search because of what he did for them all. Alot of what he did was left out of the movie because they thought if it was left in nobody would have believed any of it. He was also awarded the bronze star for lives he saved in previous battles in the Pacific. His father also received the bronze star for lives he saved in WW1 too but tragically he was unable to save his friends. He truly was a broken man because of what he saw as WW1 was their introduction to modern warfare.
Trixie, I now live for watching you watch emotional movies! You have a beautiful soul!! I love it.
FYI, the actor who played the Marine who lost both legs is a veteran of Afghanistan, where he lost both legs in IED ("Improvised explosive device") explosion before he became an actor. I guess he did not have to be told how painful and frightening it was.
Desmond Doss was the most courageous man ever. I'll salute all of our brave Veterans and Service men.
You have got one of the Sweetest Purest Souls and Biggest Heart❤️❤️❤️
20:50- My favorite part of the movie. Like, the daddy and mama must've been so scared when they found out he wanted to enlist. The dad, knew exactly what war was all about. He was in World War 1 and that was supposed to be The War to End all Wars, only to find out that later on his own son signed up for the next big one. Now, he has to stay at home praying that one of those flags doesn't come back to his step "in honor of Desmond's sacrifice" Not to mention the mama, having to wait for another one of the men in her life to go off to war and prayerfully come back. So she's going on the emotional rollercoaster again. Such a scary thought. But through all that. The dad still showed up to support hus son. He actually showed up.
I've been a paramedic for over 26 years. Big cities, smaller towns. 4 years as a private contractor in Iraq and Afghanistan as a remote duty medic. I'm not religious.
Desmond Doss is my hero.
Whether someone is a cop, or security, or a soldier, they must face whatever such horrible scene they come by. Bodies, blood, scream, men or women must know two things with fear; they either understood fear as their teacher and to move on with courage or let it consume them, destroy them. To Desmond he had proven most of his days as one of the amazing people with great heart and conscience.
That's true it's the same way as me being a firefighter we see the horrific things happen in our lives and we must face it the challenges like everytime we respond to any calls the challenge gets harder and harder if goes to that limit

Thanks Trixy.
Great movie, very hard.
Mel is a good man who fight against child's traffic and adenochrome in Hollywood.
All i can think of when i watch this, is Angels walking besides him and giving him enough strength for one more. and yes, i cry everytime i watch it.
Doss was a hero in every sense of the word… the fighting in the pacific was awful… my uncle Homer Smith survived Pearl Harbor then went on to fight in the pacific campaign.. because of the Japanese bushido code they would not surrender their is footage of Japanese women jumping off cliffs with their children… my uncle told me that they would pretend to surrender with a grenade clinched between their thighs when they got around enough soldiers they would open their thighs drop it and blow themselves up along with our guys… most of the Japanese officers would commit ritualistic suiicide… this and other reasons that two nuclear bombs were used to force their surrender.. estimated deaths if we invaded the Japanese homeland would have been in the millions on both sides… war is a foolish waste of life .. if leaders can’t get along they should fight… we don’t really know for certain but estimates for total deaths in WW2 86 million lives… this can not be allowed to happen again
I love your hair. One of my favorite mixed colours. It's absolutely divine and suits you beautifully.
This movie makes almost everybody speechless. The faith and virtue that some men have is astounding. Astounding isn't even a good enough word. Desmond showed us all what we can accomplish if we just have faith. Faith in God, or just faith in ourselves. We can do almost anything, we just need the conviction.
Time comes and time goes. I realize as i grow older that i dont know very much at all. As we go through life, friends are what keeps us together. We must realize that by taking care of our fellow man we are taking care of ourselves. Do not visit violence and anger against another, because when we do it comes upon ourselves double or more. To follow the self centered ways of society and civilization is to invite ignorance and complacence which lead to inner degeneration. Understand that religion and spirituality are two different things, and that one cannot be used to gain the other. Understand that peace is an unobtainable goal without but attainable within oneself. I pray that the Great Spirit will enlargen yourself so that you may have peace and joy all the days of your life. ~Chris~
This guy was a true hero and angel and what he was able to do on hacksaw ridge and in guam were miracles
Hacksaw Ridge is my favorite WW2 movie. It gets me every time, watching Desmond struggle to save all of those men from h*ll, proving how great and courageous a man can be if they only have faith
To answer your question on why so much hate: The Imperial Army was instilled with the hatred of other people not Japanese at the time. It’s sad but it reflects what ideologies were going through their head at the time. There are documentaries about it not just from the victims but from the former soldiers themselves.
the most violent war movie ever
Between Tom Hanks & Andrew I end up sad watching em both there both soo good at emotional scenes & it’s amazing how there can be such good people in the world like Doss it’s great he got his story told in this format
Trixy, this is your best reaction that I have ever seen on your channel, I was very glad to see your reaction and your emotion throughout this film and true story, I can tell, just from this, how much you have grown up and matured, i am very glad to see that, thank you so very much for reacting and learning about history, i will definitely keep an eye out to see more from you..take care..👍👍👍👍👍
Love your reaction to Desmond Doss's story. I'm sure by now you are aware that the real story is even more remarkable. When you learn of all that Desmond went through you have to ask yourself, "Was Desmond just lucky or was there Devine Intervention?" Here are some facts not shown in the film.
1. Desmond participate in 3 brutal battles; Guam, the Philippines, and Okinawa.
2. Besides the Metal of Honor he earned 2 Bronze Stars for valor.
3. On numerous occasions he would go out to take care of wounded while bullets flew all around him.
4. On one occasion he defied orders of his commanding officer to stay put as it was suicide for anyone to expose themselves when the enemy had machine guns in cross fields of fire. Desmond went out to recover wounded and was not hit. This took place in the Philippines.
5. A Japanese sniper that survived Okinawa testified that 3 times he had a clear shot at an unmarked
American medic and 3 times his gun failed to fire. Doss was the only medic on the battlefield at that time.
6. In one of the campaigns prior to Okinawa, two companies attacked the same position. Doss had prayed for his company. While the other company sustain heavy casualties, Doss's company sustained zero casualties. No one was even wounded.
7. When Doss was finally wounded he continued to treat other wounded soldiers as he lay waiting to be evacuated. He gave up his stretcher to another man and was hit in the arm by a stray bullet (you saw the picture of him with his arm in a cast.)
8. No stretcher was available so Desmond crawled 300 yards to the aid station.
9. Desmond's actions on Hacksaw are even more remarkable when you consider that he was under nourished from not eating the meat in his ration kit and suffering from tuberculosis (diagnosed in 1946- he contracted the disease while overseas and had one lung removed).
10. Given his physical condition he still managed to treat, carry, drag, 75 wounded men to the edge of the cliff then lower them. Here's the math: 75X150 lbs per man = 11,250 pounds or about 5500 kg, All this without sleep and in a weakened physical condition. Desmond kept praying, "Lord, help me get one more." Where did he get the strength to do what he did. Was it all luck or Devine Intervention.
FINALLY: You asked, "Why does there need to be war?" Good question but the answer is simple, "There is evil in the world and only good men like Captain Glover and Desmond Doss can stop them." Imperial Japan and Nazi Germany had to be stopped.
ABSOLUTELY LOVED YOUR REACTION TO "HACKSAW RIDGE."

Hallelujah, and to think I thought you'd never react to this movie.
I got the first ever ticket to this movie when it came out in Australia
Desmond Doss was an absolute legend, a paragon of Humanity.
The power he had is the Holy Spirit, which is a free gift for all to receive. Your reaction to the horrors of war was traumatic , but thanks for watching one of the best true life dramas ever put on the big screen.
You reactions and social contents, OF included, are among the few things that cheer me up. 🖤
She’s an idiot for doing OF 😐
Lol... At 28:10 your jump scare startled me 😳😂🤣 good one 😎
Great reaction, Blue! I'm also a fan of Andrew Garfield! Wasn't he amazing in this role?? "Lord, help me get one more."
As my daddy always said ' we just thought it was what we had to do'. He was a frontline Marine rifleman on Okinawa at 18 years old wounded on May 10th. Went back to finish taking Naha.....
Trixy, I must say this one of the most emotionally but beautiful reactions I have ever seen in one of your videos!! I absolutely love your videos, and I will continue to support you. Have a wonderful day!! Please do the following movies: Apollo 13 - 1995, Below - 2002, Equilibrium - 2002, Taken - 2008.
Of u go back and watch this , u were so happy crying joy, in the first half, and face in utter shock during the combat scenes!
I come from a family of soldiers on both my father and mother's sides, dating back to 1565. My father was in WW2 and Korea, while his father fought in WW1. I heard a lot of stories. And no, I don't understand why we kill each other.
The pistol Desmond had when he was pointing at his dad when he was younger. Looks like a 22 Luger. Is really popular with Germans. That's what they have for a sidearm for a lot of them. When bullet goes inside someone it bounces around and you don't know where it's coming out. I have my dad's. Long long time ago he bought it 50 bucks for a box of shells holster and the pistol 50 bucks. That's a deal that will never ever happen again. Keep it for protection just glad I never had to use it.
This was fantastic Blue. I hope Magic Magy watches this too for her channel.
loved your reaction and crying along with you!
🤠
You should also watch the short animated video about *Leo Major* too. The video is titled "The One-eyed Scout who Liberated a Whole Town by Himself".
Probably one of last treasure that came out of the province of Québec. And poutine.
25:00 Trixy getting PTSD without being there. Only from watching war movies.
30:27- "Why are they so full of hate?" That's a great question. I asked that when I was watching the movie "1917" you should really see that movie. Don't got to react to it, but you should definitely see it.
Ahhh.... U cried. I'm.a vet. Did my tours in Iraq. I often felt bad for the ppl who cared about me. And I hurt by making them worry. I often lied to them on the phone and told them I was fine. " Nothing is happening" it's calm out here. I'm safe. I wasn't. I was being snipered. Mortared. Lost ppl I cared about. I just want to hug u due to ur compassion. Ppl forget the pain and hurt isn't us just out in the field. But, those at home who care. ❤️. I'm sorry. 🥺
Whats more is they'd already been in two major battles prior to Okinawa. And also Desmond couldn't eat the field rations due to his dietary beliefs so he was constantly under fed. To do one body drag is physically draining. To do multiple, you're working on a totally different level. 75 is unimaginable. And to do it alone in those conditions..
Great film about a larger than life man of faith. What a man of valor, honor, conviction. I believe everyone has gifts or talents bestowed by God. You hinted that you don't know (or believe i think)...but it's evident that He has given you a beautiful heart of compassion & love.
I'm sure they gave it the name, cuz guys got cut to pieces on it, like a hacksaw! Doss, prayed for many units he was attached to, all successful, but one that he forgot to pray, got all chewed up! He also did many more miracle saves, and I think, even put in, for another CMH!😮😮😮
I know families that every generation the boys are expected to serve in the US military. One family can trace it's military service to the French and Indian war.
There's something special about people with faith. They do things people without faith would never do. Whether for better or worse that's the reality. An athiest would never sacrifice and risk as much as Desmond did. Whether you believe he's talking to himself or there's an actual God doesn't matter, faith can bring the absolute best out in humanity and that's a fact. As soon as the majority of the world lost their faith, the absolute WORST of humanity started coming out. If you're ever wondering why things seem to be getting so bad, you don't have to look much farther than that.
It's so weird to see Andrew Garfield is not Spider-Man in this movie 😳. But he saved 75 men that's Amazing 👌.
Man, he saved way more than 75 people, Desmond did several daring rescue/treatment of several men under fire en many different actions, the movie is just too short to show then all. The most incredible is that Desmond though that he saved 50 lives (at Hacksaw Ridge), his commander put the number at 100, so they averaged the number to 75...!
@@jtommygun and that was just Hacksaw ridge.. he saved more on other occasions as this was not his only assignment but his most outstanding...
Beautiful reaction loved it you were great 🌹😎
One of the best war movies ever made
Best war movie ever IMO everyone should see it, glad you did this and shared it with us!
Perfect reaction Blue.
Some would say that is what a hero looks like. Maybe it is just someone who has faith that all life should be valued. Regardless Pvt. Doss rings true on all counts.
You should read the memoirs written about his feats they are incredible. Desmond was an immense man of faith. This film was awesome but if it showed more of his feats it would have been unbelievable.
I highly recommend you watch and react to these true stories next:
13 hours the secret soldiers of Benghazi
12 Strong
Zero Dark Thirty
American Sniper
The Outpost
Lone Survivor
39:20 I've watched some documentaries about World War 2 and and the battles that the Japanese lost, there were VERY few captured Jap soldiers. They prefer death than being captured by their enemies.
This reaction was 99% in your eyes, beautiful
