    One thing I like about this movie and this scene in particular is it doesnt go down the usual hollywood path. Tom Cruise's character doesnt partake in the attack against it. He points out that it has no shield, which seems bizarre that he would only notice it but it makes sense as the soldiers were more worried about getting civilians out of there.
    Then the military takes over and does all the work while Tom Cruise's character gets to safety. It's got a realistic vibe to it. But that might just be me

      The only thing I didn't really like about this movie was the massive plot armor his son was wearing when he decides to run over that hill to watch the military fight against the aliens. You see soldiers fighting frantically, vehicles on fire while escaping the alien's attacks. Obviously soldiers are having a tough time against them.
      Then he just shows up at the end as if nothing happened.
      It'd be different if they got separated more naturally, like say a tripod blast hit near them and his whereabouts were unknown due to the massive confusion and fighting.

    I reckon that: not only do the Aliens pilot the tripods, but they have an almost mentally synchronised control over them. A bit like in Pacific Rim, the jaegers and their pilots were in synch. That's why the shields went down, because the alien was sick and therefore the overall bodily functions weren't fully capable for both pilot and tripod.
    In a more simple explanation:
    Alien = no immune system
    Tripod = no shield

      I always figured that the biological components of the tripod would be equally susceptible to infection, they’re mechanical but with living pieces inside, which we see in the basket scene. It started with the tripod and passed to the invaders, or vice versa, which would cancel out functions of their craft like the ability to project energy offensively and defensively. Notice here it tried using its side mounted heat rays and they just wouldn’t fire. 1:48

    Can you imagine the relief these soldiers felt? Like, after fighting so many losing battles and seeing their weapons being completely useless against the tripods' shields, they probably went into this thinking that they wouldn't do anything. But then the javelin hits, and that would have just been the best feeling.

    • @sabotabo7476
      @sabotabo7476 2 роки тому +143

      the book had a great moment like this. in the book, the army's main weapon against the tripods was artillery batteries, but they were useless in every case until one time where one battery got the tripod distracted then they hit it in the back with a hidden battery behind it, destroying it. it's the first moment in the book where they aren't invincible, the moment where it becomes apparent that they can be killed. it's incredibly effective at feeling triumphant, especially for a book from the 1800's.

    One of my favorite things about this movie is how they actually hired real troops to depict the military in this movie. They asked them what they would do in the scenarios played out in the film and that played a big part in how some of these scenes played out.
    It’s hard to act like a soldier if you’ve never been one yourself, and these guys don’t really need a lot of acting experience because they’re already accustomed to running training exercises and simulations where they need to act like it’s the real deal. All you gotta do is tell them to do their jobs while the cameras are rolling. I wish more films would do this, given they have the budget for it. Makes it feel so much more authentic, you can tell these guys are real troops. The movement, the way they handle their weapons, the body language, the communication, etc. They did an amazing job considering the confines of the script

      Nazi Germany had an army of scientists lining up to perform dangerous and far fetched experiments in the name of the Fatherland. Anti-gravity research, VTOL, Rocket, Nuclear and radiation testing, stealth technology. And all of this only about two or three decades AFTER WW1, which was considered the bloodiest war in human history.
      Even myself, as an example, would volunteer to jump into a Black hole knowing I would die. But to be the first Human to go into a Black Hole would put me down in the history books for hundreds of years. Similar mindset applies to reverse-engineering alien tech.

      because most people want Hollywood cliché plot shit that all prime time shows constantly recycle. By far, Rachael's behaviour throughout this entire film was one of the things that made it, she is behaving like AN ACTUAL CHILD WOULD during an apocalyptic event. This is going to sound dumb to some people, but when I saw this movie when I was 7, she was the only character I related to, and it made the experience watching it all the more scary because I (and most kids that saw it in 2005) would have behaved the exact same way, even adults would be screaming and crying. These people want her to be that unrealistic character that suddenly becomes this mastermind kid genius tough girl recycled cliché shit that is boring as hell, and frankly, makes no sense. People always want the recycled content because they aren't creative enough to think outside of the box on their own. so they fawn over whatever movie is thrown in their face and reject anything that is different.
      This movie is by far then only alien invasion film that conveys emotional realism. The characters are just regular people like you and I trying to survive during mayhem. Its simplicity makes the film all the more scary, because anyone can relate to the story.

    • @rizon72

      "These people want her to be that unrealistic character", and there is the problem. What is real and what is unreal? It depends on the person. Would a kid do this, or is it what you think a kid would do. Like adults, kids will react in a wide variety of ways as well. To say only one way is 'realistic' shows a lack of understanding of what is real.

    @rosePetrichor 5 років тому +201

    One important thing to note for everyone saying 'okay so without the shields we'd easily beat them' is that you don't realise that this was not a war to them. This was extermination. Because of their shields, they were able to casually take their time in killing, shooting at individual humans rather than just destroying a wide area all at once, picking up humans to get a better look at them. They were *playing* with us. If their shields didn't exist but they also were not sick, that laser weaponry would still be absolutely terrifyingly powerful when used to full potential. Remember what happened with the scene where Robbie runs away to go fight? A single tripod causes a massive explosion that destroys an entire military attacking force, choppers, vehicles and all. Without shields it would still be a bitter fight. It's like how a particularly mean human might deal with a harmless bug (a beetle or an ant) as opposed to one that might actually hurt him (a wasp, or a spider). Since you know that this small creature might actually hurt you, you use far greater force in response

    • @AngryPaprika
      @AngryPaprika 4 роки тому +34

      It was freaking napalm dropped by the military dat caused the explosions and fire. The army got wrecked by regular evaporating lasers it is simple really. Without their shields you can destroy these tripods very easily with armor piercing weaponry a single chopper could kill a handful just because they can't even shoot their lasers you saw how hard it was to aim let alone shoot.

      Starteller Interesting, but if an invasion were to happen, we'd repel the first attempt, and maybe fail on the second attempt. If you want to take over the world, then eliminate every Navy and Air Force power, then you'll have control of the Air and Sea.

      Imperial Gaming That's a bit of a simplified view of the subject, don'tcha think? Also, why would we be able to repel the initial attempts?
      In my opinion, air and naval power would probably be rendered moot anyway. Air and Sea battle are all about supremacy in their theaters (an oversimplification again but, yeah)-- if we're going on the assumption of overwhelmingly superior technology, I doubt that either type of force on Earth could even hinder them while being fully operational.

    I love how this scene has so much details, like at 1:20 u can see the tripod have a broken horn without echo. Or at 2:20 hearing a little victory theme, or even at 2:26 seeing the tripod trying to hold the building to not fall, it was just the movie being so well made and good special effects. Shame it didnt win the best CGI prize.

    I actually loved this ending than Robby being dead. After all the trouble Ray has gone through, he deserves the unity of his Ex-Wife, his son, and his daughter. It kinda realized to me that a little bit of 8 years later that these characters are what they needed from each other and that they are family. It goes to show you how far they will do to give their life for you. The hug that Tom Cruise gives is actually a relief hug that he's alive and he isn't dead. This is what the scene via ending great. The music, atmosphere and the characters plus the setting. Also the acting in this scene felt real on how you were united with your child after a big large scale attack.
