I don't know how UA-cam processed this video but the color look horrid 😩ugh yall.... comment editors below please! I'm tired of my non postproduction skills 🤣
No worries! I think that you are doing a great job.
i think it all looked good. 👍🏼
This first episode gives you a good glimpse of how different warfare in the Pacific was from Europe or North Africa. I do not know how many episodes ahead you have watched, and I do not want to spoil anything, but this show does an admirable job showing how much more brutal and deadly combat was for Americans in the Pacific than in the European or African areas.
Far more Americans died and were wounded in the fighting in North Africa and Italy and France than died and were wounded in the Pacific, but the rates at which men were killed and wounded was far higher in the Pacific than in Europe. In Europe, the casualty rate for each 1000 men deployed per day was 1.75...in the Pacific, that number was 5.5...the death rates were even more uneven, with .36 deaths per day per 1000 men in Europe to 1.78 in the Pacific.
So please be prepared for this show to somewhat accurately reflect those killed and wounded rates being so much higher.✌
Just a general warning - the war in the Pacific was more brutal that the war in Europe. The islands it was fought on were in general too small for maneuver warfare; more of a meat-grinder approach was used. Add to that miserable weather and logistics difficulties and you have a very different situation than shown in BoB. Semper fi.
Everyone has been saying this. I’m kind of nervous about this series now 😩
@@cuethecommentary It is important history.
In Europe the armies could retreat across rivers to fight again. In the Pacific there was no retreat; it was a fight to the death.
This is going to be different than B of B. The war in the Pacific was VERY different. Hang on.
They're not soldiers. They're Marines.
"Chesty" Puller, their Colonel, was amazing. During the war he was awarded the Navy Cross, 5 times. The Navy Cross is one step below the Medal of Honor, our highest award.
The Americans did not start the war as brutal thugs, as they are described by Japanese historians. You saw an example of what the Japanese prisoners taught them, on the beach after their first battle. After Guadalcanal, they took few prisoners, for self preservation.
One incident of heroism at Crocodile Creek involves a two man machine gun crew. I think that it was the gunner who got fingers shot off and so the feeder took over, but he was suddenly blinded. He kept firing while the gunner told him where to aim using the points of a compass. It may have been the other way around.
Prior to Guadalcanal, the Japanese Army had been always successful. They had never fought our Marines. Thereafter, they abandoned Banzai charges, and their strategy was to make us bleed to the point where we would give up and sue for peace. You'll see.
You’re right and wrong it was a number of 5 Navy Crosses over the course of a career spanning from ww1 to Korea not just in the 2nd world war. Keep in mind there are wars in between ww1 and Korea that were very small conflicts like we see today that get forgotten most of Chesty Pullers career was spent in those conflicts
This is right. We do what worked for us last time. The banzai attacks, night attacks, making noise, worked well against to poor morale, badly led Chinese armies. It did not work against the Marines. Over the course of this series the Japanese change their tactics and the war becomes even more deadly.
Japanese were taken by surprise. The naval battle was the worst defeat of the USN in history.
Guadalcanal was early in the war (August 1942 so 8 months after the US entered the war) vs D-Day June 6, 1944. Training was shorted early in the war because it was more important to get bodies on the line as fast as possible since it takes time to ship them to the front. This was done with fairly accurate calculations on how many more would die. The Marines did have more training than the army, but Paratroopers received even more.
The US Navy, along with some allied ships, took heavier loses than the Japanese throughout the campaign. The US could absorb the loses with it's industrial power, so even though the US lost more capital ships, it was a strategic victory overall. It would be 1 and half years before the next large scale naval battles.
good reaction! do not be hard on yourself about editing, you do a really good job. I've been watching your videos for a while now and you edit better now than you did in the beginning, and you'll edit better in six months than you do now. but they've always been good.
Thank you so much for your kinds words and encouragement because editing be overwhelming me 😩 I like everything to look good and uniformed, but, you’re right things get better with time especially the more you practice ❤️
Oh boy, are you in for a ride. As tough as Band of Brothers and Chernobyl were, I think this one is more brutal. As to your question of how this came about, Hanks was really moved by his role in the movie Saving Private Ryan, and wanted to do something similar as a miniseries. He picked Stephen Ambros' non-fiction book Band of Brothers, and on the success of that, did this series. The Pacific is based on several books, most notably With the Old Breed: At Peleliu and Okinawa.
As to recommendations. I've noticed your watch list is pretty grim - and while I'm pleased you're filling in the gaps of your education, it's tricky not to fall into the trap of "the world is horrible!". So for a series, I highly recommend Ted Lasso. I binged the first season during the pandemic, and it was an absolute salve to my aching soul. As the showrunner commented on SNL, "It's built around two things Americans hate: soccer and kindness."
Aww thanks and def adding that to my list ❤️
Hey! I dont know anytjing about video editing but glad to join you in this watching!
Thank you 🙏🏾 ❤️
O cant stop watching reaction videos
I'm glad Your doing this. The Band of Brothers series was enjoyable to watch with you. I look forwerd to adding this to my line up. Just a note; I think I did mention this at the end of the other series, that this is a completely Different war then in Europ. The Japanese where an All or nothing type people and the USMC was as well so when they fought it got brutal as neither side seen the other as human at the start of the war. We don't need to talk about the atrocities committed Let the History books or shows handle that if you want to look. (The Rape Of Nanking is one) I want to offer you a piece of solace My Grandfather gave my Dad when he was about to ship out to Vietnam in 69. " Step outside and look up, that universe is so vast that you can only see one tiny grain of it on a desert Planit of all sand. Mankind is so small and so insignificant, yet we berate ourselves in our narcissistic hubris for our tiny penchant for war. In all honesty however, Nature in its vastness all about us, in its continuing drive to Create, Evolve, erase and repeat is Fare more Messy and deadly and violent then Man will ever be. In a day it devour hole soler systems wither there are civilizations in them or not. Entire civilizations are wiped out with the turn of a quasar or explosion of a sun or the passing of a rouge body pushing plaints together. The death of a galaxy may end more lives than we have numbers to count them. Billions of sentient peoples look on in helpless horror as their worlds die. We are in our own way, being animals of Nature just one more tiny cog in its ever-continuing drive to Create. So, before you judge yourself or others on war remember that Most of mankind's best inventions and leaps in social advances were fueled by war. Why, because we are Beasts of Nature bred and evolved to help Create, and Creation is Messy and Violent. It's the opposite that you should Really worry about because torpidity is the killer of all. At that point the universe dies along with all life. So, you just do your duty, and let Nature and the Maker of it all worry about who did what to whom, as long as you remain honorable and true to the morals and ethics, we taught you, your sole is clean". He wrote that in his journal. He suffered from Agent orange syndrome, and it took him in 2008 but he had a clear conscience and a good heart. You may see bad things and feel conflicted and that's fine. By all means hate War Solders sure do. Perhaps even the single people that order them but hating the mass of people in them is just hating humanity and thus, yourself, Don't. Bless and be well.
Thank you for coming back to my channel and God bless you grandfather 🙏🏾❤️
My grandpa was the enemy but was a fighter pilot and lost his carrier the Shokaku in the Phillippine Sea during this war he was airborne wheh it sank he was later rescued and taken prisoner. He didn't believe in suicide like many did. In fact most didn’t or didn’t want to. The creator of the A6M Zero cried when he found out kids as young 17 ramming his planes into American navy ships. They used their planes like a cruise missile. Kamikaze or 'devine wind' but it was barbaric. Many japanese today still stay away from this subject. Its unfortunate.
I love your reactions and think you are awesome. I can't wait to watch more. Just a little heads up though, the term "Jap" is really considered derogatory nowadays, and some folks might find it offensive. You just might want to be a little careful in the future. Love your channel, keep up the good work.
Omg thank you so much 😩🙏🏾 I didn’t even know. God bless you ❤️
In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. -John 1:4✝
This is a great miniseries. I have the boxed DVD set as well as Band Of Brothers. This miniseries is taken from historical records and mostly from 3 books written by 2 of the main characters: Robert Leckie "Helmet For My Pillow" and 2 books by Eugene Sledge "With The Old Breed: At Peleliu and Okinawa" AND "China Marine".
My father served on an aircraft carrier in the Pacific during WWII so I became somewhat of a mini WWII historian in order to bond more closely with him.
When the 1st Marine division landed on Guadalcanal, they weren't even fully trained yet, being rushed into service due to the exigent nature of the Japanese airfield being constructed on the island. At the time (after Pearl Harbor), the Japanese Navy was the 3rd most powerful in the world and their naval air strength was 2nd to none. Their army was also far larger than the U.S. whose military was ranked a measly 17th, just behind Romania.
The Pacific theater was far more brutal than the European theater, due to the nature of the Japanese "Bushido" (or Samurai) ideology. It was an unforgivable dishonor for them to surrender, which would bring lasting shame upon their family name back in Japan. In essence, it was their duty to die for the emperor and they did not hesitate to put that into practice. A traditional Bushido saying was, "duty is heavier than a mountain; death is lighter than a feather." -from the 1882 Japanese Imperial Rescript to Soldiers and Sailors.
They would rather commit suicide (en masse if necessary) than be taken prisoner, and they often did. Just do a Google search about "Marpi Point" on Saipan and you'll see what I mean. Also try looking up, "The Rape of Nanking" and you'll get a better understanding of the brutality of the Japanese during WWII. Just be prepared for some brutally accurate depictions in this series of the realities of fighting in the Pacific during WWII. Peace🕊
The reason your video is like that is because the encoder believes the color of the wall is part of the layover. The color is saturated and becomes blotted out like that. Check to see if you can change the layover settings to solid. Think green screen effect. You could break the wall up with different color and shapes if no setting. I use Vegas so I don't know what software you use.
You're so pretty.
Thank you
I really enjoy your reactions. Mainly I guess because I find you and your personality very likable.
You wanted some recommendations on other series to react to, so I highly recommend “The Last Of Us “. It’s a really good series.
Thank you so much 🙏🏾❤️
Hi there
Hola Aran
Glad to see you're watching The Pacific, but 11 minutes of actual reaction . . . Really?
(And don't anyone come piling in about Copyright. I respect copyright and also Fair Use.)
What I do know is there are plenty of other reactions live here on UA-cam that cover far more material than this. SMH.
Thank you for checking out my video. I was annoyed too while editing bc it was such a short reaction. I noticed I didn’t talk much because I was really paying attention, plus this episode was really slow 😩 Also, noticed when I talk a lot with the beginning episodes I tend to miss a lot.
If you want to watch the whole series get the dvds. Her reaction doesn’t need to be lengthy. It needs to be authentic.
