One of the Reasons that The Battle of Okinawa was So Bloody was that By this time of the War The Japanese and The Americans had become highly skilled at killing each other.
Shinja Okinawa That, and Okinawa is the largest of the Pacific islands, so it required the most personnel from both sides to fight for it. Plus, it was one of the last major battles of the war, at the point where the Japanese already knew they had lost and were basically just throwing everything they had left at the Americans.
I have to agree for the US infantry, as they would gain experience fighting for each island. While the Japanese infantry was basically all lost and could not transmit much of that knowledge. What the Japanese got better and better was entrechment.

Because hand to hand combat was a rather rare occurrence, they have rifles and submachine guns, grenades and mortars combatants would rarely find themselves in close enough quarters to engage in hand to hand combat..The average range for engagement in WWII and it still remains relatively true to the modern battlefield is around 300yrds.. That's about three football fields..

This is just typical battelfield in WW2, so no music of course, but I dont know why the run in the place where they can get ambushed by the Japanese, when better to go around to other side of island and then get in the back of the Japanese to kill them, that they would not get ambushed by the Japanese.
@@jout738 Trouble is that there are limited number of beaches that you can land troops on. Part of what happened at Tarawa was we didn't know about a reef and a lot of landing craft got hung up on them and basically became target practice for the Japanese. My father was a CO of a LST. To give you how bad Operation Olympic (Invasion of Kyushu, first/southernmost major island of Japan proper) was going to be, LSTs, which normally are on the 2nd or 3rd wave were going in with the first wave! There were only a limited number of beaches to land on. Most of the rest of the shoreline was unsuitable for landings for one reason or the other.... He said that dropping the A bombs probably saved his life! (Besides suicide airplanes, including a short range rocket suicide aircraft named Ohka (Cherry Blossom) by the Japanese and Baka (fool) bomb by the US, there were suicide torpedos and boats!)

Sun Tzu what the fuck do you mean he saved 75 people and risked his life just to help some people that were doomed to die from the start. He was the strongest person in the film.
Ginamaria Literally no one does that. Literally no one. Reloading only takes a few seconds at most anyway, just have a guy take out his magazine, cut the scene, then cut back to him firing.
I think the actor was instructed to pull the charging handle then the trigger over and over again, then the VFX artists just matched the effects with the scene all without knowing the jamming detail youve explained. Youd think they would put in that detail if they also have made the BAR not have infinite ammo.
Both World Wars were bloody, the rivers were filled with blood, skies were filled with war planes, oceans were filled with ship wreakage, land was filled with dead humans and fire.
Ginamaria haha....perfect response. People get so angry about things like this. Do they not realize they are watching a MOVIE. Based on actual events, yes, but still a movie
The best part is that that stuff kinda happened I read it in a history book at the Library and fun fact the fight for that hill top lasted weeks on end pretty crazy

Late comment sorry, but yeah fire, in general, is more of a terror weapon in general. Not too effective against people in modern-day much considering the vulnerability of an explosion, but still incendiary bombs still are used. Actually, I think the most modern inhumane weapon that was actually banned in warfare was the Microwave Radiation Direct Energy Weapons/Heat Weapons (M.R.D.E.W) that was a vehicle-mounted weapon. Basically, it was supposed to be a nonlethal way to disperse crowds, but the reason why it was banned was that it literally cooked/boiled people alive, enough to cause extreme pain but not lethally. It was rightfully banned for use because it was too torturous.
@@Truck--kun hate say this pal but... debated. It is most definitively one of the THE most horrific weapons of all time but as a weapon it possibly one of the most effective depending on environment and use. in a desert environment where there is wide open spaces and little urban development, useless but in others its a war crime nightmare. in forest/jungle environments where tree and foliage are abundant and ranges are close using a flamethrower can easily destroy groups of soldiers with ease and deny possible routes of enemy attack thanks to the fact of the then spreading fire. And in a Urban environment, an enclosed space is were the weapon thrives if you don't care about collateral. that said thankfully no nation has really has desired to improve flamethrower designs after the 80's as were then started to be seen a terror weapons. that said a number of militarises still have them for a number of reasons like environment clearing (I.E clearing out hornets, shrubs and ETC.), that said Russia has reintroduce the flamethrower back into a active role. let's pray that is only a publicity stunt.
In my opinion, the most inhumane weapon in history was definitely the use of chlorine and bromine gas during WW1. Millions died from gas attacks, soldiers from both sides. Death by flamethrower was extremely painful, but it was quick. Getting gassed, it was long, extremely uncomfortable and goddamn it was fuckin painful. Of course Chemical Warfare is not as common nowadays, especially since the inventions of more stable and stronger gas masks and oxy tanks, but without the safety of that stuff, getting gassed could be the worst way of dying.
@@richarvinlazo698 He was a Respectible general, atleats in terms of merit for the rebel confederacy. And he had the humble enough soldier to say he'd rather not have the people of war idolized with statues and was instead in favour of praising the peace makers. But that's the extent I personally think he should be seen as far the noble pages of history.
@@EmilioReyes_97 surprisingly he's not like the rest though. Most fought to keep their.... Right to own slaves. But Lee and Jackson only fought because their state said to. Stonewall Jackson helped slaves to Freedom only if they worked for a certain amount of time.... Still messed up and wrong but surprisingly they weren't as bad as the rest.
2:27 Badass camera shot right there... This movie was really well made. Also crazy that a film with a conscientious objector as the main character ended up being one of the most brutal and graphic war movies I've ever seen since Saving Private Ryan and Black Hawk Down. (not counting Band Of Brothers or The Pacific since they're both a television miniseries)
Mel Gibson is one of the best directors of all time. All four of his movies are masterpieces. He won best director for Braveheart. Passion of the Christ is just as brutal and well directed, and Apocalypto is arguably his best movie.
@@TheNegativeDude agreed. Due to his rascist drunken incident he will probably never win another Oscar, but for someone to so completely switch from one of the biggest stars and leading men of his era to a brilliant director was so astonishing. Clint Eastwood did as well, but it is a short list.
@@jrock5830 Eastwood frustrates me because unforgiven and mystic river show just how good he can be, but then he just goes and churns out a lot of forgettable dramas. Mel Gibson takes his time but every single movie he makes is unforgettable.
doesn't make sense to me becuase bazooka is an anti tank weapon and thus has anti infantry ability , it does explode on impact but most of the explosion was concentrated on the shape charge in front of the rocket in order to create a molten jet that melts and penetrate enemy armor and was probably useless against bunkers becuase it only have 225 grams of explosive which is 4 times more than a Mk2 grenade but most most of the explosion was concentrated on teh shape charge already , so it can knock out several soldier but it wont work against bunkers
my dad did stunts on this movie and is the dude who gets blown away at 5:18. his helmet wasn't supposed to come off, but it wasn't strapped right and it knocked his 2 front teeth out. im glad they kept it in, cuz it looks way cooler.
The Messenger lmao it’s not just a movie. This is the same chaos and mayhem the soldiers fighting in the battle of Okinawa and hacksaw ridge had to endure. Educate yourself.
Yeah, the story was great...what people had problems with was the fighting...and yes, the first 3 minutes of the fight was fucking shit....like the guy who picked up a dead man by his torso with 1 fucking hand and kept him as a shield like he was a fucking Roman Legionarie...but then it gets better like this scene right here
@@MrKrabs-vi5jk i think what he meant was that the shockwave causes your lungs to implode and collapse and ruptures your internal organs, meanwhile the fragmentation shreds you so you bleed out.
4:15 the fact that the Japanese soldier tries to fire to get one last kill does a really great job demonstrating how absolutely relentless the Japanese were.
If you really think about it, dropping the nukes on the Imperial Japanese was doing them a favor. Near the end of the war the Imperial army was training civilians to set traps and ambush American soldiers with sharpened bamboo spears. There were even plans to build entire underground cities to keep the war going for years. The Japanese people would have died entirely before they surrendered to the Americans.
@@foolslayer9416 fair point, and the point of dropping the nukes in the first place was to save American lives, the Soviet’s had also planned to invade with the us which obviously would’ve been bad for america because they’d get more territory out of it, if it weren’t for those nukes, the world would be a very different place with a lot more of a dark history, nukes may be doomsday devices but they deter war more than any other thing.
Inferuz It’s not really to do with the mechanics of the weapon. You had to get close to your enemy, they were cumbersome and not easy to move in, and enemies targeted you since if they kill you, they might be able to take out those around you if the tank explodes. Gruesome weapon and I hope it never gets used again. Wishful thinking on my part.
I think that might have been a stock screaming sound that they reused for both Call of Duty and Hacksaw Ridge. I am sure I heard it in other movies/games over the years.
My grandfather told me his dad got into a bad melee fight with a Japanese soilder. His platoon was charging a position, and as they did, my great grandfather full on tackled a Japanese soilder, kinda like at 4:44, and beat the living hell out of him with his M1 Grand, and as a trophy, he kept the soilders Type 99 rifle, which I still have.
That’s a damn good trophy and I hope you keep that thing as long as you live, my great grandfather had a Lee Einfield that his father passed down to him from the First World War, but he traded it for crack, so I hope you’ll take good care of that relic
I can just see my grandpa in this war. He was fighting in okinawa. Anyone else in this comment have a loved one in this war. It would be cool to know. And their division. My grandpa was a 96 div. Infantry. A soldier in battle.
I'm just happy that he wasnt in germany at that time because sadly there is a stain in my families history, I hope he is doing good or had a good life, I dont know what's the case. Blessed day.
Desmond Doss is my most admired hero in the world. Do not shoot even one. But safe a lot of life . Imagine runing into battle field with out any weapons. How brave he is. This is not unusual for ordinary hero can do.
Just thought I'd mention that the US wasn't alone in this. They were aided by one of the largest British fleets ever assembled. Over 200 planes helped take out the Japanese airforce and provide air support for the US troops below. Let's not also forget the Australians and New Zealanders who took part in the Pacific theatre. I think it's unfortunate that too many Hollywood films portray this as a war fought only by US troops. This leads to a misconception that the US won the war all by themselves. It was a team effort.
@Nickolas Child's dresses Ouch, this is awkward. The Battle of Okinawa was supported by British and Australian navies and airforces. The majority of aircover was provided by the Brits who took out the Japanese airfields between March and April in preparation for the landings. Indeed, the US did make the landing, but it was not a battle made up entirely of US forces. Before you call someone a fool, maybe educate yourself a little.
@Nickolas Child's dresses At no point did I mention the film directly. I was simply raising some facts that many people may not know and stated that Hollywood films tend to do a very poor job of showing the team effort that WW2 was. If you're the kind of person who goes into comments and insults people rather than attempting to have a normal conversation, I feel sad for you. I'm more than happy for people to disagree with me, but try to make it mature. I imagine you're probably a nice person in real life and that you don't go around insulting people for no real reason.
It's not directly stated, no, but I think that's purely to keep the scope of the story as focused as can be -- in this case, a single American solider and the immediate company of American soldiers around him. But if you keep your ear tuned, you can pick up a good number of accents from the countries you just named. So they are THERE, just... not pointed out. In a movie like Midway, you see more inclusion of ALL the various participants in a huge battle, both in the fight, and the events leading up to it. But that's because it's a film about a huge, decisive battle, whereas this film is pinpoint focused on exactly one man. It makes sense, story-wise, to keep the focus as trim as possible, but at least they did try to include other nations, even if by only a small measure.
+Eric Garcia pretty sure Basilone was using the 1919, the US didn't have larger machine guns besides the M2, and no way in hell you're running through a battle carrying one of those (80+ lb) plus ammo. Also, he invented what became known as the "Basilone bail" specifically to keep hands from getting burned. Basically a wooden carry handle with wire threaded through it and wrapped around the barrel so you could manipulate the barrel without actually touching it. Dude was definitely a bamf though. Sad he went out to a mortar round on Iwo, such an ignominious way to go.
m3gusta17 i thinks Eric garcia means the m1917 machine gun which is classified as a heavy machine gun. At the time that Basilone used it during Guadalcanal in 1942, it was early in the war for the United States. The priority at the time was Europe first and so the army was receiving more of the war budget. In addition production of newer weapons such as the M1 Garand hadn’t caught up to demands yet so the Marines initially had to use surplus weapons used in world war 1 such as the bolt action Springfield 1903 rifle and the m1917 mg compared to the army who were already equipped with the M1.
It looks like one random kid in the class who is so confused dunno where the hell is his weapon so he just grab a grenade and scream the top of his lungs
Doss is that one of those rarest medics on your team that will actually help you. Massive respect to the man. Edit: Also just the movie background playing while the title shows up just adds more feeling about it.
Whenever a visual of a modernized army is resorting to melee, my blood runs a little chill, and I get excited. It's horrible to see how brutal you become, when the only goal in mind is to end the other person's life, before they end yours.

@@memr5690 can confirm, DO NOT ATTEMPT TO PRIME WITH TEETH. It will hurt. It takes a surprisingly large amount of force to pull the pin on a ww2 grenade, likely to prevent accidental priming.
As much as I despised officers when I was in, I had the utmost respect for the ones who did dirty and signed up enlisted first, made it to like E-4 or to E-5, gained the utmost respect amongst your peers as a leader and then went to OFC. I knew a few like this born to lead, and mentor those among them.
That scene at 4:52 is a scene of pure chaos but the cameras still frame makes it elegant in its horror. Like you’re watching through the eyes of a soldier who is just taking in all this insanity and is frozen by terror. Also any of the still shots with the flamethrower gives the impression of hell being unleashed upon earth
Belgian Fabian it was an American advantage towards the Japanese and made them retreat while we encroach their lands. Yes, it was a brutal weapon at the time, but it was to help us claim vengeance for the brothers they killed and to help us win the war. They were animals at the time and had no feelings for mercy or sorrow for their enemies/opponents. Why would we show them something they do not show at all? It is simple, they wanted war with US! There, is that complete now for you?
@@holdenwilliams1055 Not at first. Japan wanted its own empire, but didn't have the raw materials for it. So they decided to invade their neighbors all around the Western Pacific, starting with Manchuria, then the rest of China. Japan got about 90% their oil from us, so when they refused to leave China and Indochina, we cut them off. This forced Japan to choose between giving up control of their new territories or war with the Western powers. They chose the latter. From the beginning, Japan wanted to seize control of the Dutch East Indies for their oil reserves, but couldn't make a move with American forces at the ready, hence why they decided to attack our bases in the Philippines and Hawaii simultaneously Regarding the "no mercy" bit, Japanese soldiers were beaten relentlessly by their own officers as part of their training, to teach them to dehumanize enemy soldiers and civilians alike
@4:45 Something about going hand to hand always seemed awesome to me. It’s one thing to shoot someone from distance, it’s less personal. But hand to hand? Looking at the guy who’s trying to kill you up close must be different. Hand to hand always looks like such an adrenaline rush.
Movies always overemphasize personal weapons. Most of WW2 combat was machine guns, grenades, and mortars. The guys who exposed themselves to fire a couple rifle rounds inevitably were hit quick. The goal was to crawl close enough to get some grenades in the other side’s trench. They used MGs and mortars to keep the enemy from spotting you while you did that. The whole “line of guys shoulder to shoulder firing constantly” thing is a myth. Any such group would have been an ideal target for enemy mortar fire. The concept was fire and maneuver, firing was secondary to getting close.
Re the flamethrower sequences: My MOS was 0351 (flames and 106 recoilless rifles). We learned to mix our napalm very thick so it came out in a thin, concentrated stream that would bounce off walls and around corners, sticking to anything it came in contact with. A great way to clear a room!
Even after seeing that, difficult to even fathom what these guys were going through during something like that without actually being there to experience it first hand. Gotta the scariest environment imaginable.
I am Japanese. Dear Americans, please listen to me. This film is about the epic war in the land of Maeda Kochi, Okinawa. I am the grandson of two generations after the war generation in Okinawa. My maternal grandmother experienced a fierce war in Okinawa. My grandfather was shot in the leg in World War I or the Korean War, I believe. From there he was in a hospital outside the prefecture until the end of the war. When my grandfather learned in the newspaper that Okinawa had been wiped out, he remembered the family he had left behind in his hometown. My grandmother was still in her 20s at the time, and as the war intensified She fled with her family, relatives, and neighbors to the north of Okinawa. As the U.S. forces closed in, she continued walking to Yanbaru, the northernmost point of Okinawa. Moving with my eldest daughter, who was 5 years old, and my second daughter, who was a baby, must have been more difficult than I had imagined. We made it to Yanbaru, but my breast milk stopped flowing and my second daughter, who was still a baby, lost her nutrition there. My second daughter, who was still a baby, died of malnutrition there. Before she died, my grandma told my mother, “I don't know where I buried it in the mountain.” My grandfather was frightened that all Okinawans had died in the war. However, he returned to his hometown with a lot of books and pots and pans, with only a little hope. The war had burned people's cooking utensils and destroyed their entertainment. People's souvenirs were greatly appreciated. Every year we Okinawans have war veterans give lectures to all students in elementary and junior high schools. Since I was a small child, I too have heard war survivors speak at school and watched movies about the Battle of Okinawa. I tell my grandmother's story because I want to pass on the memories of the people of the prefecture who were at the mercy of the Battle of Okinawa. I am not talking about the fault of the U.S. or Japan. We must not fight a war. We must not turn Okinawa into a battlefield again. U.S. military planes continue to fly over our heads today. Peace to the world, peace to Ukraine. Thank you for listening to a 20-something Okinawan. この映画は沖縄にある前田高知という土地での激戦を描いています。 私は沖縄出身の戦争世代から2世代あとの孫世代となります。 私の母方の祖母が沖縄の激戦を体験しました。 祖父は確か第一次世界大戦もしくは朝鮮戦争の際に足に弾丸があたり そこから終戦まで県外の病院で療養していました。 祖父は、新聞で沖縄が全滅とみて故郷に残した家族を思い出します。 当時まだ20代くらいだった祖母は戦争が激化するにつれて 家族、親戚や近所の人など数人で沖縄の北のほう やんばるまで徒歩で移動しました。 5歳くらいの長女、乳飲み子の次女を抱えての移動は 私の想像よりはるかに大変だったことでしょう。 やんばるまで逃げ切ったけれど、乳が出なくなり 赤ん坊だった次女はそこで栄養失調で亡くなりました。 山の中でどこに埋めたのかもわからないと 生前私の母に語っていたそうです。 祖父はもう沖縄に誰も生きていないかも知れないけれど 一部の望みをかけてたくさんの本や鍋をもって帰郷します。 戦争で調理道具がやけ、娯楽も消失していたので 祖父の手土産はたくさんの人に感謝されました。 私たち、沖縄県民は必ず夏になると 戦争体験者の講演会や沖縄戦に関する映画などを 幼いころから学校で放映しています。 私がここまで祖父母の話を語ったのは 沖縄戦に翻弄されたいち市民の記憶を引き継ぎたいからです。 アメリカが悪い、日本が悪いとかいう話ではありません。 戦争をしてはいけない。沖縄を二度と激戦地にしてはいけない。 私たちの頭上を今日も米軍機が飛んでいます。 世界に平和を、ウクライナに平和を 20歳程度の若造の話を聞いてくださり感謝いたします。

Reloading only takes a few seconds at most anyway, just have a guy take out his magazine, cut the scene, then cut back to him firing.
I think the actor was instructed to pull the charging handle then the trigger over and over again, then the VFX artists just matched the effects with the scene all without knowing the jamming detail youve explained. Youd think they would put in that detail if they also have made the BAR not have infinite ammo.
at some point hes going to have to reload that BAR

321Ian123 it was a high caliber support gun that had little recoil. Great gun. Slow rate though
That scene where one soldier fired a browning 50cal full auto on his hip was silly
Billy Arthur one or two shoots yes but full auto for 5seconds is impossible the recoil will throw you off balance
Such a great film. Loved how the rocks and dust were apart of every explosion. Seems like most action/war movies miss that.
Both World Wars were bloody, the rivers were filled with blood, skies were filled with war planes, oceans were filled with ship wreakage, land was filled with dead humans and fire.
Because of WW2. Both sides learned from their mistakes. Now, theyre trying to figure out to fix overpopulations without people rioting

This scene seems to do an adequate job of showing how chaotic, terrifying, and horrifying war is
The flamethrower must be one of the most inhumane weapons of all time
Yep. Go back to middle age
Late comment sorry, but yeah fire, in general, is more of a terror weapon in general. Not too effective against people in modern-day much considering the vulnerability of an explosion, but still incendiary bombs still are used.
Actually, I think the most modern inhumane weapon that was actually banned in warfare was the Microwave Radiation Direct Energy Weapons/Heat Weapons (M.R.D.E.W) that was a vehicle-mounted weapon. Basically, it was supposed to be a nonlethal way to disperse crowds, but the reason why it was banned was that it literally cooked/boiled people alive, enough to cause extreme pain but not lethally. It was rightfully banned for use because it was too torturous.
Explosive rounds are pretty fucked up too
@@Truck--kun hate say this pal but... debated. It is most definitively one of the THE most horrific weapons of all time but as a weapon it possibly one of the most effective depending on environment and use. in a desert environment where there is wide open spaces and little urban development, useless but in others its a war crime nightmare. in forest/jungle environments where tree and foliage are abundant and ranges are close using a flamethrower can easily destroy groups of soldiers with ease and deny possible routes of enemy attack thanks to the fact of the then spreading fire. And in a Urban environment, an enclosed space is were the weapon thrives if you don't care about collateral.
that said thankfully no nation has really has desired to improve flamethrower designs after the 80's as were then started to be seen a terror weapons. that said a number of militarises still have them for a number of reasons like environment clearing (I.E clearing out hornets, shrubs and ETC.), that said Russia has reintroduce the flamethrower back into a active role. let's pray that is only a publicity stunt.
In my opinion, the most inhumane weapon in history was definitely the use of chlorine and bromine gas during WW1. Millions died from gas attacks, soldiers from both sides. Death by flamethrower was extremely painful, but it was quick. Getting gassed, it was long, extremely uncomfortable and goddamn it was fuckin painful. Of course Chemical Warfare is not as common nowadays, especially since the inventions of more stable and stronger gas masks and oxy tanks, but without the safety of that stuff, getting gassed could be the worst way of dying.

(not counting Band Of Brothers or The Pacific since they're both a television miniseries)
Mel Gibson is one of the best directors of all time. All four of his movies are masterpieces. He won best director for Braveheart. Passion of the Christ is just as brutal and well directed, and Apocalypto is arguably his best movie.
TheNegativeDude I think Apacalypto is his best film
@@TheNegativeDude agreed. Due to his rascist drunken incident he will probably never win another Oscar, but for someone to so completely switch from one of the biggest stars and leading men of his era to a brilliant director was so astonishing. Clint Eastwood did as well, but it is a short list.
@@jrock5830 Eastwood frustrates me because unforgiven and mystic river show just how good he can be, but then he just goes and churns out a lot of forgettable dramas. Mel Gibson takes his time but every single movie he makes is unforgettable.
doesn't make sense to me becuase bazooka is an anti tank weapon and thus has anti infantry ability , it does explode on impact but most of the explosion was concentrated on the shape charge in front of the rocket in order to create a molten jet that melts and penetrate enemy armor and was probably useless against bunkers becuase it only have 225 grams of explosive which is 4 times more than a Mk2 grenade but most most of the explosion was concentrated on teh shape charge already , so it can knock out several soldier but it wont work against bunkers

4:15 the fact that the Japanese soldier tries to fire to get one last kill does a really great job demonstrating how absolutely relentless the Japanese were.
If you really think about it, dropping the nukes on the Imperial Japanese was doing them a favor.
Near the end of the war the Imperial army was training civilians to set traps and ambush American soldiers with sharpened bamboo spears. There were even plans to build entire underground cities to keep the war going for years. The Japanese people would have died entirely before they surrendered to the Americans.
@@foolslayer9416 fair point, and the point of dropping the nukes in the first place was to save American lives, the Soviet’s had also planned to invade with the us which obviously would’ve been bad for america because they’d get more territory out of it, if it weren’t for those nukes, the world would be a very different place with a lot more of a dark history, nukes may be doomsday devices but they deter war more than any other thing.

Inferuz do a simple google search. It’s not hard.
Inferuz It’s not really to do with the mechanics of the weapon. You had to get close to your enemy, they were cumbersome and not easy to move in, and enemies targeted you since if they kill you, they might be able to take out those around you if the tank explodes.

Just thought I'd mention that the US wasn't alone in this. They were aided by one of the largest British fleets ever assembled. Over 200 planes helped take out the Japanese airforce and provide air support for the US troops below. Let's not also forget the Australians and New Zealanders who took part in the Pacific theatre. I think it's unfortunate that too many Hollywood films portray this as a war fought only by US troops. This leads to a misconception that the US won the war all by themselves. It was a team effort.
@Nickolas Child's dresses Ouch, this is awkward. The Battle of Okinawa was supported by British and Australian navies and airforces. The majority of aircover was provided by the Brits who took out the Japanese airfields between March and April in preparation for the landings. Indeed, the US did make the landing, but it was not a battle made up entirely of US forces. Before you call someone a fool, maybe educate yourself a little.
@Nickolas Child's dresses At no point did I mention the film directly. I was simply raising some facts that many people may not know and stated that Hollywood films tend to do a very poor job of showing the team effort that WW2 was. If you're the kind of person who goes into comments and insults people rather than attempting to have a normal conversation, I feel sad for you. I'm more than happy for people to disagree with me, but try to make it mature. I imagine you're probably a nice person in real life and that you don't go around insulting people for no real reason.
It's not directly stated, no, but I think that's purely to keep the scope of the story as focused as can be -- in this case, a single American solider and the immediate company of American soldiers around him. But if you keep your ear tuned, you can pick up a good number of accents from the countries you just named. So they are THERE, just... not pointed out. In a movie like Midway, you see more inclusion of ALL the various participants in a huge battle, both in the fight, and the events leading up to it. But that's because it's a film about a huge, decisive battle, whereas this film is pinpoint focused on exactly one man. It makes sense, story-wise, to keep the focus as trim as possible, but at least they did try to include other nations, even if by only a small measure.
That’s because we hard carried the pacific
I also love how that guy went full Rambo holding a M1919 and clearing all the Japanese soldiers in the trench
It's called "walking fire."
More amazing is how quickly he reloads between scenes with his endless supply of magazines. >_>
ma boi uncle billy bob , exactly n exactly.
Ever heard of John Basilone? Straight up bamf. Burned his on hands from doing the same thing with a bigger LMG but in Guadacanal.
+Eric Garcia pretty sure Basilone was using the 1919, the US didn't have larger machine guns besides the M2, and no way in hell you're running through a battle carrying one of those (80+ lb) plus ammo.
Also, he invented what became known as the "Basilone bail" specifically to keep hands from getting burned. Basically a wooden carry handle with wire threaded through it and wrapped around the barrel so you could manipulate the barrel without actually touching it. Dude was definitely a bamf though. Sad he went out to a mortar round on Iwo, such an ignominious way to go.
m3gusta17 i thinks Eric garcia means the m1917 machine gun which is classified as a heavy machine gun. At the time that Basilone used it during Guadalcanal in 1942, it was early in the war for the United States. The priority at the time was Europe first and so the army was receiving more of the war budget. In addition production of newer weapons such as the M1 Garand hadn’t caught up to demands yet so the Marines initially had to use surplus weapons used in world war 1 such as the bolt action Springfield 1903 rifle and the m1917 mg compared to the army who were already equipped with the M1.
This movie deserved an Oscar or two, it was incredible. And Andrew Garfield was robbed, this is one of his best performances.

Belgian Fabian it was an American advantage towards the Japanese and made them retreat while we encroach their lands.

@@holdenwilliams1055 Not at first. Japan wanted its own empire, but didn't have the raw materials for it. So they decided to invade their neighbors all around the Western Pacific, starting with Manchuria, then the rest of China. Japan got about 90% their oil from us, so when they refused to leave China and Indochina, we cut them off. This forced Japan to choose between giving up control of their new territories or war with the Western powers. They chose the latter. From the beginning, Japan wanted to seize control of the Dutch East Indies for their oil reserves, but couldn't make a move with American forces at the ready, hence why they decided to attack our bases in the Philippines and Hawaii simultaneously
Regarding the "no mercy" bit, Japanese soldiers were beaten relentlessly by their own officers as part of their training, to teach them to dehumanize enemy soldiers and civilians alike
@4:45 Something about going hand to hand always seemed awesome to me. It’s one thing to shoot someone from distance, it’s less personal. But hand to hand? Looking at the guy who’s trying to kill you up close must be different. Hand to hand always looks like such an adrenaline rush.

Movies always overemphasize personal weapons. Most of WW2 combat was machine guns, grenades, and mortars. The guys who exposed themselves to fire a couple rifle rounds inevitably were hit quick. The goal was to crawl close enough to get some grenades in the other side’s trench. They used MGs and mortars to keep the enemy from spotting you while you did that. The whole “line of guys shoulder to shoulder firing constantly” thing is a myth. Any such group would have been an ideal target for enemy mortar fire. The concept was fire and maneuver, firing was secondary to getting close.
Re the flamethrower sequences: My MOS was 0351 (flames and 106 recoilless rifles). We learned to mix our napalm very thick so it came out in a thin, concentrated stream that would bounce off walls and around corners, sticking to anything it came in contact with. A great way to clear a room!
Even after seeing that, difficult to even fathom what these guys were going through during something like that without actually being there to experience it first hand. Gotta the scariest environment imaginable.
1:42 is the best part
I don't hear enough talk about how Worthington throws his empty gun at a soldier as he charges in for a tackle. Boss move!
I am Japanese. Dear Americans, please listen to me.
This film is about the epic war in the land of Maeda Kochi, Okinawa.
I am the grandson of two generations after the war generation in Okinawa.
My maternal grandmother experienced a fierce war in Okinawa.
My grandfather was shot in the leg in World War I or the Korean War, I believe.
From there he was in a hospital outside the prefecture until the end of the war.
When my grandfather learned in the newspaper that Okinawa had been wiped out, he remembered the family he had left behind in his hometown.
My grandmother was still in her 20s at the time, and as the war intensified
She fled with her family, relatives, and neighbors to the north of Okinawa.
As the U.S. forces closed in, she continued walking to Yanbaru, the northernmost point of Okinawa.
Moving with my eldest daughter, who was 5 years old, and my second daughter, who was a baby, must have been more difficult than I had imagined.
We made it to Yanbaru, but my breast milk stopped flowing and my second daughter, who was still a baby, lost her nutrition there.
My second daughter, who was still a baby, died of malnutrition there.
Before she died, my grandma told my mother, “I don't know where I buried it in the mountain.”
My grandfather was frightened that all Okinawans had died in the war.
However, he returned to his hometown with a lot of books and pots and pans, with only a little hope.
The war had burned people's cooking utensils and destroyed their entertainment.
People's souvenirs were greatly appreciated.
Every year we Okinawans have war veterans give lectures to all students in elementary and junior high schools.
Since I was a small child, I too have heard war survivors speak at school and watched movies about the Battle of Okinawa.
I tell my grandmother's story because I want to pass on the memories of the people of the prefecture who were at the mercy of the Battle of Okinawa.
I am not talking about the fault of the U.S. or Japan.
We must not fight a war. We must not turn Okinawa into a battlefield again.
U.S. military planes continue to fly over our heads today.
Peace to the world, peace to Ukraine.
Thank you for listening to a 20-something Okinawan.
この映画は沖縄にある前田高知という土地での激戦を描いています。
私は沖縄出身の戦争世代から2世代あとの孫世代となります。
私の母方の祖母が沖縄の激戦を体験しました。
祖父は確か第一次世界大戦もしくは朝鮮戦争の際に足に弾丸があたり
そこから終戦まで県外の病院で療養していました。
祖父は、新聞で沖縄が全滅とみて故郷に残した家族を思い出します。
当時まだ20代くらいだった祖母は戦争が激化するにつれて
家族、親戚や近所の人など数人で沖縄の北のほう
やんばるまで徒歩で移動しました。
5歳くらいの長女、乳飲み子の次女を抱えての移動は
私の想像よりはるかに大変だったことでしょう。
やんばるまで逃げ切ったけれど、乳が出なくなり
赤ん坊だった次女はそこで栄養失調で亡くなりました。
山の中でどこに埋めたのかもわからないと
生前私の母に語っていたそうです。
祖父はもう沖縄に誰も生きていないかも知れないけれど
一部の望みをかけてたくさんの本や鍋をもって帰郷します。
戦争で調理道具がやけ、娯楽も消失していたので
祖父の手土産はたくさんの人に感謝されました。
私たち、沖縄県民は必ず夏になると
戦争体験者の講演会や沖縄戦に関する映画などを
幼いころから学校で放映しています。
私がここまで祖父母の話を語ったのは
沖縄戦に翻弄されたいち市民の記憶を引き継ぎたいからです。
アメリカが悪い、日本が悪いとかいう話ではありません。
戦争をしてはいけない。沖縄を二度と激戦地にしてはいけない。
私たちの頭上を今日も米軍機が飛んでいます。
世界に平和を、ウクライナに平和を
20歳程度の若造の話を聞いてくださり感謝いたします。
ok then
