Thank you for watching the video, It means a lot to me . I will leave this pinned message here to REMIND everyone that i do not have TELEGRAM and there is no GIVEAWAY. Those you see are bot scams . Keep yourself safe and know that I would not ask for your info. ❤ ❤
Your perspective of this world is wonderful. ( I also HATE needles. icky. And I only have toilet paper too. It works.) Never stop learning. Your mind is strong, do not waste.
This is probably the best reaction I have ever watched. I especially love your honesty and your acknowledgement of some of the inaccuracies in the movie, and yet still managed to make some of the most understandable comments and and reactions ever. I wish I had discovered you sooner, Biss!
Your reactions were genuine, Doss actually did more than they said in the Film, he saved over 120 and Mel Gibson said no one would believe that so he reduced the number. He was actually in two battles prior. Thank you for your honesty, even the swearing was understandable and you gave credit to the Lord !! See you again !! 🙏🏻✝️❤️
Plasma is about 50% of blood. It is made up of water, enzymes, minerals and vitamins that are in blood. It will restore the volume of the blood in the system and keep the patient from going into shock due to blood loss. I believe it is not as temperature sensitive as whole blood so it can be used on the battle line.
Excellent comment...the only thing I would have added is that the red blood cells are separated out in a centrifuge, and thus the plasma is not "typed" like whole blood is, and can therefore be used for anyone. 👍
Plasma is the liquid portion of blood About 55% of our blood is plasma, and the remaining 45% are red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets that are suspended in the plasma. Plasma is about 92% water.
Let me add that the purpose of giving plasma to a wounded soldier is to keep the volume of the blood up. It can prevent death from shock or from just plain bleeding to death. If there is too much blood loss no amount of plasma will help, because if there is just plasma and no red blood cells it will not carry oxygen. It's not always enough, but plasma has saved the lives of very many wounded soldiers--and injured civilians, for that matter. There have been efforts to make "plastic blood"; a fluid which will carry oxygen in and carbon dioxide out and which does not have to be typed. Giving someone a pint of the wrong blood type is fatal, by the way. But I have not heard of any real success in making artificial blood. It would save many more lives.
100%. Pacifists get knocked in wartime especially, since there is that convenient argument to kill and protect yourself/others. This film flips it, sideswipes it, and then goes off the rails at how much more impressive to be the one doing the right thing...even among all that chaos.
Over 100 Mennonites (Anabaptist) in the US Army Medical Services died in WWI on the front lines in Europe. While Desmond Doss was not a Mennonite their service as Pacifist was an inspiration to him.
@@jdsguam That's why we need Trump, he's against pointless overseas war and gets things done, unlike the incompetent Afghanistan withdrawal by Biden. However the Deep state that really controls western govts won't let him back in because he doesn't toe their 'great reset agenda' line.
Awesome Reation...... My understanding is the 75 is an agreed on number.... The Army estimates he saved 100-125 on Hacksaw Ridge.... Desmond claimed it was closer to 50...... So they settled on 75 for the report.... Desmond Doss is a True Hero/Angel.......
Yes, you are pretty close. The primary investigation records of interviews and medical records has that he saved 157 Americans and 8 Japanese. He contested those numbers and claimed that it was “only about fifty”. The Army comprise is the 75 on the certificate.
Your scream after the "dream sequence" was ok. Its actually pretty awesome. Same with your anger of the injustice. Great to see strong emotions in a reaction. Whatever kind they are.
The part where Desmond asks what should he do and he heard the call for medic within the explosions, and he understands and he starts walking towards the explosions, and towards his call. I cried and that reminds me of 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.”
In some significant ways, this excellent true story of Desmond Doss was toned down to make it more believable. However, there are some things that were changed that you might want to know about. Doss and his unit had actually taken part in two previous Pacific island invasions before they got to Okinawa, and Doss had actually been decorated with the Bronze Star for Valor in both, so Desmond was already a well respected member of the unit before Hacksaw Ridge. You can understand why they decided to compress the story entirely to the Okinawa campaign to keep the story easier to understand. Some of the other changes they made are also understandable, such as they amped up the drama of the trial a lot, and the situation where he leaves his wife at the altar while he sits in a cell is not quite the way that happened. Also, in reality Hacksaw Ridge was out of range of naval gunfire...the Japanese chose the location in part to be safe from the fire of the really big guns on the battleships. The website History vs Hollywood article on this movie is pretty good, and covers most the of the stuff that they changed or were mistaken about. I strongly recommend checking out History vs Hollywood for after you watch movies based on real history. They are usually the best place to get solid information about historical inaccuracies in a very easy to understand format, when they have an article posted about the film in question.✌
I've seen a lot of movies where they take a true story and make it into something fantastical to compel the audience, but i've never encountered a movie before this one where the true story was so astounding that they had to cut out true elements in order to make the movie believable.
@@marksmith4892 Doss' story is pretty incredible...though, the folks that made Chernobyl toned down some aspects of radiation sickness in that series. It is not exactly the same as toning down Doss exploits, but it is sort of in the same general area. Yeah...there are not many movies or shows that are based on real history that do NOT overdramatize things about the story...you are right about that.
I feel like most movies based on true stories have to exaggerate things to make it watchable. This movie had to down play Desmond's actions in order for it to be believable. A true hero. Great reaction!
I love the scene in the cell with him and Dorothy. Against all odds and doubts, even the love of his life, he doesn't falter. He does not bend. He stands by his principles and self chosen ways. A truely admirable man even before he became a saint and hero for what he did on hacksaw ridge.
It reminded me of Job and his wife. And I think the wife realized what she was doing ,that she was playing the character of Jobs wife, curse God and die. Fortunately she realized and backtracked.
Now that's what I call a great movie reaction. We were tearing up with you. Most incredible true story I have ever seen. Thank you Veterans. Thank you Desmond and Dorthy Doss. God Bless you.
This is probably the best reaction to this move I’ve seen. You go through one heck of an emotional roller coaster. Most reactors concentrate on what Dawes did, but the reason is now explored, maybe because of the religious nature. Dawes truly represents what the Bible says in John 15:13 No one has greater love [nor stronger commitment] than to lay down his own life for his friends.
"No man than this", that is, Jesus was referencing the limit of man's love in John 15. However Romans 5:10, reveals a love Deeper than this.... and that is, a all-consuming love for one's enemies, which only God is the Source of.
Great movie and great reaction. So glad you liked it. Fun fact about the real life events of this battle and Desmond's actions; what is portrayed in this movie is actually a toned DOWN version of what he did. The producers felt that if they depicted the full version of what he did, audiences wouldn't believe it. Desmond Doss kicking the grenade? That happened, but it didn't put him out of commission. His leg was torn up by shrapnel, but he tended to the injury himself. Removed the pieces of shrapnel, stitched what needed stitched, and then bandaged it all up. He couldn't walk, but even then, he still chose to remain on the battlefield, crawling from man to man to patch them up. Eventually, he got shot in the arm, and it broke his arm. With only one arm and one leg working, he finally allowed other guys in his company to carry him off the field.
Thanks! I really appreciate you reacting to this. It’s beautiful to see a movie touch you the way it touched me. I love it when you’re totally open & vulnerable and willing to show it to us. Love your reactions. ❤️
@@Dr.Acula76 You're welcome. I always report them, at least so no one else reads them. A small amount of us may even fall for the scam, so also trying to protect them
Great reaction. Desmond Doss and Leslie "Bull" Allen show that great feats can be accomplished in war without a weapon. With "The Ballad of Bull" Sabaton have made a very good and heartfelt tribute to this guy.
Hacksaw Ridge is a great film and a miraculous story. I always break in tears when I see the real Desmond Doss talk about what really happened. Glad you enjoyed it!
I don't know if anyone said anything explaining his large supply of morphine, but medics and soldiers alike were always advised if they came upon a wounded comrade to use the wounded soldiers' morphine and any other medical supplies before using theirs. That's probably why it looked like Doss was swimming in meds and other supplies for the wounded ..
His Dad was a WW1 veteran with PTSD but they didn't recognize it back then.....Cowardice, Shell Shock, Battle Fatigue...but not recognized until 1980's in the US military.
Band of Brothers. 10 episode series, stylistically similar -- biographical, World War II (but in Europe), interviews with the actual veterans but performed by actors, and absolutely excellent.
Just to let you know that most of the soldiers carried a small medical pouch which would also contain morphine .. that’s why he didn’t run out .. also soldiers would scrounge ammo for weapons from the surrounding dead soldiers & that why seemed to have so much .. great reaction ☘️
In reality Desmond saved well over 100 men taking Hacksaw that day..and also got wounded in a battle in Guam he saved over 30 soldiers while being shot in the arm..this man was truly an angel on earth..
Yes the actual number he saved that night was almost certainly over 100. As for that second part No he didn't. One, The Battle of Guam happened before the Battle of Okinawa, and while he earned a bronze star on Guam and in the Philippines both, there was no instance of him doing anything in prior actions quite like he did in that night on Hacksaw. Yeah he may have saved 30 men prior to that night but he did it under normal circumstances as a medic and he had not been shot in the arm. The scene that is portrayed in the film is only slightly true. He was in a foxhole with two riflemen when a Japanese night raid happened. A Japanese soldier threw a grenade that landed in the hole. Desmond was the only one that saw it and kicked it out just before it exploded. He was thrown through the air and peppered with shrapnel. He lay there for 5 hours waiting for another medic. When he was finally picked up by litter bearers they were passing by another wounded man when he demanded they put him down and take the more seriously injured man. They did, and while he was waiting a sniper shot him shattering his arm. He proceeded to bandage and splint his broken arm with broken rifle butts and crawled 300 yards (roughly the same in meters) to the aid station. That was the only time he was shot in the arm and he did not actually treat anyone let alone 30 men after the fact. Moreover that injury left his arm paralyzed and ended the war for him. I see you making the same half true statements on every Hacksaw Ridge Reaction. desmonddoss.com/bio/bio-real.php Please read up on his actual actions. What he did was amazing enough without embellishing it. He was a humble man, he wouldn't appreciate stories that make him seem like more than he was.
Plasma is a blood derivative that is safe for all blood types. In battle you can't carry all the blood types so plasma is used instead. When the injured get to a hospital they usually come off plasma.
Plasma has coagulating factors that reduce bleeding by making the blood clot faster. I just gave an exam on blood transfusion 3 days ago 😂😂 great reaction btw.
Wow, best reaction to a movie I have ever seen on UA-cam. Seeing your emotions while watching a movie that I have seen a dozen times even made me emotional once more. I am recommending this reaction to everyone I know. Thank you!
My dad had me when he was older. He was a ww2 vet and fought the Japanese. A true hero shot through and through the spleen. He patched himself up with mud leaves scraps of tshirts and first aid bandages, and kept fighting. Until the battle was over, then he got first aid. He said no way he was gonna wait on the battlefield for a medic, but maybe get picked up by Japanese soldiers! I saw the scars. He told me some pretty gruesome stories about Japanese inhuman treatment. He hated the Japanese for a very very long time.
My Dad was a pilot in the European Theater during WWII. I served for 20 yrs in the Army myself and settled on the Island of Guam back in '92. What the Japanese did to the innocent civilian populations out here in the pacific were way beyond Inhuman. Your Father was absolutely right to have hated those animals.
@@jdsguam he did get over his hatred, when I was about 12. But believe me, when I say it took a... Jesus come to the meeting, Paul on the road to Damascus miracle...that's what it took.
Doss fought an incredible fight long before he saw actual combat. 52:19 .... my favorite scene of this movie. Doss did not leave Smitty's body up there to be forgotten. Just like you, I love how he still cared for his friend. I always break down seeing that.
5:23 "Oh! Wow, wow, _wow!_ That's an artery." I think it's his _femoral_ artery. That's the main artery that supplies blood to the _leg._ No artery in the _entire body_ carries a larger volume of blood.
Great reaction, Bisscute. You have such a sweet spirit and kind heart. My Great Uncle Eddie Williamson was a US Army Captain in the Pacific Theater of Operations, and was on Okinawa. Sadly, he never spoke of his experiences so I don't know if he was in that particular area during the battle of Okinawa, but the Army had less of a presence than the US Marines in the Pacific, so he very well may have been there. I know he was in Okinawa, Guadalcanal, and Iwo Jima. R.I.P., Uncle Eddie. I love your reactions so much.
Ammunition in the M3 Grease gun is a 30 round magazine. Its not unrealistic as it has a slow cyclic rate of fire and you carry more than one magazine. at the minimum you carry at least 4. Desmond Doss by his battalion records has rescued something between 125-150 soldiers. The movie only made it out to be 75 when in actual reality hes saved twice that amount.
What a reaction........i was literally tossing tissues at my screen for you. Its really rough watching you get so heartbroken sometimes, but at the same time, immensely gratifying to see such compassion and respect you show for those who sacrifice for all of us. ❤❤❤❤ as always
I've seen most of your movie reactions and many of your music reactions and I think this is one of my favorite! It's really something watching you open up and empathize with others you see. You're super special and I hope you continue your journey for a very very long time!! Take care! 💕💖
Another great reaction, Miss Madalina. If I had more money I would happily help support your work financially. Medics in WW2 gave plasma to wounded soldiers because: "During WWII the use of blood plasma was an essential component of treating wounded soldiers. When a soldier is critically wounded, blood loss is extremely dangerous. Rather than the loss of oxygen carrying red blood cells, the greatest concern is the loss of fluids which results in low blood pressure."
The part that gets me most every time is when Doss comes down off the cliff wild-eyed and twitching. Garfield played the overwhelming stress of what he went through so well.
It nearly broke my heart watching the tears roll down your cheek. It feels good to know that there are still tender hearted people I left in this world
Whats often over looked is Desmond was a 7th day Adventist. Part of his beliefs was to not eat meat. At this time the US Army meals were mostly meat and potatoes. The idea was carbohydrates for quick energy and protein and fat for lasting energy. This left Desmond in a state of near starvation at all times. He often survived by foraging root and other vegetables, fruits and coconuts on the different islands he helped invade.
I was so excited to be able to watch this reaction with you. It’s an incredible movie and story. I knew there would be tears on this one (you and me both). You’re my favourite reactor Biss! Love how genuine you are. You truly are an amazing person
Poor Madalina, that was a whole emotional rollercoaster. Loved the reaction. This movie made everybody cry, even grown "tough" men. It is one of the best true stories out there on film. Bless you and your reactions
You have a kind heart and have great empathy for Desmond’s father and the trauma he endures because of his experiences during WW I. I admire your sensitivity and insight. Peace and love.
An amazing film. It's one of those that really makes one examine their own life. I love that Desmond's faith inspired him to rise to a higher level and work miracles on the battlefield. It's really a beautiful thing to see someone so selfless and stick to their conviction. 🙏
Great reaction Bliss, you are a truly sweet soul. My father fought in Korea and had definite trauma. I didn't realize why he was the way he was until I got older, but as a child I hated him. I came to realize that he was damaged by war and understood finally that it wasn't his fault
If u read about Doss, he was actually put in for another CMH. And saved many more lives. Some of the things he did, was like reading about Gideon or Jacob, from the Bible, just completely miraculous! He went into many more battles than just this, and everytime he prayed before going, his unit was successful with few casualties. One time before a battle, he forgot to pray, and that unit got chewed up. He never forgot to pray, gain!
No need to apologize for a reaction. Its visceral, and its natural and it's You. Never apologies for being you. This was one of the best and most heartwarming reactions yet because at the start you said you were becoming jaded (emotionally distant or numb) but by the end it was clear you were not and that is good. Bless and be well.
It really is interesting how different moments affect different people. Watching The Green Mile you weren't nearly as affected as most other people but this movie got you. It makes me curious, what kinds of lives people live that causes them to react in such varied ways. 35:40 I can't believe they used the Wilhelm Scream. o.O
Insanely beautiful, Incredibly intelligent and very expressive. Don't apologize for being you. I'm a grown man that can't get through this movie without tears. God Bless.
Plusma was used in WWII when someone got shot or lost a limb to prevent them from dying from an infection! Though I am not sure if they still use it, but what I know is that they used Morphine for the pain and Plusma to prevent infections!
Plasma is the fluid in the bloodstream, which has had the blood cells removed. When a solder loses a lot of blood, you need to have the blood replaced with something, otherwise the patient's blood pressure drops and the patient dies. If someone gets a blood transfusion, the blood must be correctly type-matched, otherwise it will kill the person getting the blood (there is an exception to this, but it's rare.) Plasma has had the blood-cells removed, leaving only the liquid, so it can be given to anyone, keeping the patient alive until they can be given the proper blood.
I love her so much, what a sweet, cute, kind woman she is. She also has an accent that is so beautiful. I can't stop watching your videos, thank you for being here.
The actress who played Desmond's wife is Theresa Palmer. She's in an amazing British show called "A Discovery of Witches". It's only 3 seasons of 12 or less episodes per season. She's good as the main actress and the show is wonderful.
The battle for Okinawa was the bloodiest battle in the pacific theater. It was absolutely brutal hell for 3 months straight. The crazy part about this movie is that in the film they actually purposely undersold all the things Desmond actually did because they didn't think that audiences in theaters would believe it.
My grandfather as a rifle instructor in WWI. He said he had two students whom he couldn’t teach how to shoot. The first one, I don’t remember about but the second saw a man kill his father with a handgun. Every time he handled a gun he got physical ill. He became a truck driver. Just because a man was unable to fire a gun certainly didn’t he counted serve. An amazing movie with an important message. You did a great job on this one.
This was filmed in Australia. All of the actors in the production are Australian, apart from Andrew Garfield and Vince Vaughn, if I am not mistaken (e.g the wife, the dad, the mother, Captain Glover etc). We are good at passing for Americans or Britons if we have to. Many of the soldiers are meant to be from different places in the US, so some also have to do regional accents. Mel Gibson (from Braveheart, Mad Max etc.) directed the film and is also an Australian. More and more films are going to be made here going forward due to recent studio investment but we've been doing it for a while now, with a lot of blockbusters made here from the Matrix, to Pirates of the Caribbean and the latest Thor films. The last film you reivewed (Gladiator) starred Australian, Russel Crowe, as Maximus. The realities of the battle scenes would have been well understood by most of the actors because most of our grandfathers gave it to the Japanese during the same war, but jungle warfare was more common. The Americans suffered a lot of casualties trying to take heavily fortified islands towards the end of the war, like in these scenes. The Japanese dug big tunnels, so bombing wasn't very effective. It was a dishonour to the Japanese to surrender, so most fought to the death. The allies used to throw grenades or fire flamethrowers down the tunnels that would burn men alive or cause suffocation by consuming much of the oxygen. In the end I find it a bit confusing as to why so many lives had to be needlessly sacrificed in the last few days of the war, when the allies had already won in Europe and they had naval and air superiority in time to drop 2 nukes on Japan that ended it. I guess the nukes were a bit of a secret that had yet to be live tested, and we didn't know how the Japanese would react. Every kid should learn about World War 2 at school. One reason why it is probably not spoken about so much in Romania is because the country was allied with Germany, Italy and Japan, prior to falling behind the Iron Curtain. If it wasn't for the unbelievable resistance of the British Empire, the Nazis would have won, as America only joined the war towards the end, and the world would be a completely different place. At least 90% of all men of fighting age in Australia voluntarily signed up immediately to fight this war and were engaged for 6-7 years across Asia, Africa and Europe. The Japanese were particularly cruel at this time and unspeakable things would have occurred if they had invaded mainland Australia. It was nothing like the friendly, happier Japan that we know today. Germany's top general (Rommel) mentioned a few times that the Australian and New Zealand soldiers were the most superior on the battle field of all that he'd encountered, and this is something we are proud of.
As a former US Army Combat Medic, I found this movie to be compelling, interesting, well produced with actors and actresses that seemed perfect for the roll they were playing. Oddly, I was not aware of this true account story, until just prior to watching the movie. While I live in California, I saw actually watched this movie while receiving long term, in patient mental health care for Military related PTSD, at a VA hospital located in Roanoke, Virginia. Again, another great movie and great reaction video from BissFlix. Keep up the good work.
One of my favorite scenes is when the soldier is listening to doss ask for his bible and without question runs straight back to the field for it even as explosives and bullets rained around him, retrieving it and bringing it back. I feel Doss is what inspired him to pull such a feat, and God truly was watching over that man and his people.
Greetings from Poland. Hacksaw Ridge is one of my favorite movies of all time and Your reactuon to the movie is probably the best I've seen so far. Cheers!
My name is John and I am a recent subscriber to your channel. I must say, this is my favorite reaction to this movie so far. Nice job Biss!! Looking forward to watching your passed reactions, and of course, those to come. Thank you for your work on producing such entertaining and heart-felt videos. By the way, you remind me of a granddaughter I have. Best of luck always. John
They weren't watching a movie. Back then, they didn't have much in the way of trailers, they had like, news and stuff. The movie had something for everyone. Romance, human interest, action, and the authenticity. Showing all the glory and horror that war has to offer. And the practice is called Seppuku, also known as Hara-Kiri. The Japanese had a very Samurai mentality, so for them, death before dishonor.
"The Thin Red Line" is a beautifully filmed, star-studded movie with some amazing performances about the first major land battle in the Pacific. It was filmed on the actual island the battle took place on. Very introspective, philosophical, shows the war from the thoughts & emotions of the soldiers. Nominated for Best Picture. If you want a war movie with romance try "Captain Corelli's Mandolin", the surrounding events of the story actually happened. Very beautiful, touching movie.
I love how natural your reaction was. The faces you would make at asshole characters are the same I would make sometimes lol. Also I'm sorry for laughing when you screamed at that dream sequence. I just wasn't expecting that kind of reaction.
The movie they go to see on their date is one of the series "Why We Fight," which was made to teach soldiers the reasons that the USA was at war. It was so successful in that respect that it was released to regular public cinemas. It was produced by Frank Capra, one of the great directors of such classic movies as "Mr Smith Goes to Washington" and "It's a Wonderful Life."
26:02- Exactly. The dad knows more than all of them in that room, what War is all about. 27:07- My favorite part of the movie. Holy crap, the dad actually showed up!!!
I have enjoyed many of your reactions, both movie and music. It's nice to see people from around the world appreciate and enjoy the same things. This movie is special, beyond that of almost any other war film, and it's great to see a young person who recognizes the beauty of this man and his story. I'm sure it's probably to late but I would be interested in hearing about your mothers reaction. Unlike many (because I'm old) I knew the story of Desmond Doss and this movie reflects the highlights of his story. The only key discrepancy in the movie is that Desmond did not return home after Hacksaw Ridge. He was treated and recovered from his wounds and then returned to active duty where he was again wounded. He was shot in his left arm while helping another wounded soldier. That is the picture which shows Desmond in a cast in the final part of the movie.
Thank you for watching the video, It means a lot to me .

One of my favorite movies. I'll always watch a reaction to it. Desmond is one of my heroes. He was an example of what we are supposed to be as humans.
Yes Desmond is also one of my heroes to and this movie gets me everytime I see 😭😭😭😭

I was assigned to do a book report on him in middle school. Incredibly brave person.
Desmond is a guy who restores my faith in humanity
"No one wins in a war." As a US Army veteran, I can say that that your statement is absolutely true! Great reaction...thanks!
As a US Army Retiree - I absolutely agree 1000%! D.C.'s hunger for war has to come to an end!!

Awesome Reation......
My understanding is the 75 is an agreed on number.... The Army estimates he saved 100-125 on Hacksaw Ridge.... Desmond claimed it was closer to 50...... So they settled on 75 for the report....
Desmond Doss is a True Hero/Angel.......
Yes, you are pretty close. The primary investigation records of interviews and medical records has that he saved 157 Americans and 8 Japanese. He contested those numbers and claimed that it was “only about fifty”. The Army comprise is the 75 on the certificate.
Wasn't he already a pretty experienced combat medic by the time of Hacksaw? I'm pretty sure it's one of the inaccuracies of this movie aswel.
@@samuel10125 Yes, Hasksaw Ridge was not his first battle......
@@samuel10125 Yes, he was at Leyte and Guam in 1944 before Okinawa.
I think his battalion recorded him saving more than 75.
Your scream after the "dream sequence" was ok. Its actually pretty awesome. Same with your anger of the injustice. Great to see strong emotions in a reaction. Whatever kind they are.
The part where Desmond asks what should he do and he heard the call for medic within the explosions, and he understands and he starts walking towards the explosions, and towards his call. I cried and that reminds me of 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.”
In some significant ways, this excellent true story of Desmond Doss was toned down to make it more believable. However, there are some things that were changed that you might want to know about. Doss and his unit had actually taken part in two previous Pacific island invasions before they got to Okinawa, and Doss had actually been decorated with the Bronze Star for Valor in both, so Desmond was already a well respected member of the unit before Hacksaw Ridge. You can understand why they decided to compress the story entirely to the Okinawa campaign to keep the story easier to understand. Some of the other changes they made are also understandable, such as they amped up the drama of the trial a lot, and the situation where he leaves his wife at the altar while he sits in a cell is not quite the way that happened. Also, in reality Hacksaw Ridge was out of range of naval gunfire...the Japanese chose the location in part to be safe from the fire of the really big guns on the battleships.
The website History vs Hollywood article on this movie is pretty good, and covers most the of the stuff that they changed or were mistaken about. I strongly recommend checking out History vs Hollywood for after you watch movies based on real history. They are usually the best place to get solid information about historical inaccuracies in a very easy to understand format, when they have an article posted about the film in question.✌
Thanks for the tip on History vs. Hollywood . Definitely gonna be looking that up!
I've seen a lot of movies where they take a true story and make it into something fantastical to compel the audience, but i've never encountered a movie before this one where the true story was so astounding that they had to cut out true elements in order to make the movie believable.
@@marksmith4892 Doss' story is pretty incredible...though, the folks that made Chernobyl toned down some aspects of radiation sickness in that series. It is not exactly the same as toning down Doss exploits, but it is sort of in the same general area. Yeah...there are not many movies or shows that are based on real history that do NOT overdramatize things about the story...you are right about that.
@@marksmith4892 the Audie Murphy movie was also cut down quite a bit to make it more believable.
Yes. They were right here in Guam where I live.
I feel like most movies based on true stories have to exaggerate things to make it watchable. This movie had to down play Desmond's actions in order for it to be believable. A true hero. Great reaction!
More like 150 sent down the ridge... I'm a Marine, and I can't even imagine...
"Just one one, God... One more, please..."
I love the scene in the cell with him and Dorothy. Against all odds and doubts, even the love of his life, he doesn't falter. He does not bend. He stands by his principles and self chosen ways. A truely admirable man even before he became a saint and hero for what he did on hacksaw ridge.
It reminded me of Job and his wife. And I think the wife realized what she was doing ,that she was playing the character of Jobs wife, curse God and die. Fortunately she realized and backtracked.
I'm a Christian and I cried in the theater when he helped the wounded Japanese soldier. Jesus said love your enemies and pray for them.
Desmond was a close family friend. He influenced me to become an Army medic. An amazing hero!
Now that's what I call a great movie reaction. We were tearing up with you. Most incredible true story I have ever seen. Thank you Veterans. Thank you Desmond and Dorthy Doss. God Bless you.
This is probably the best reaction to this move I’ve seen. You go through one heck of an emotional roller coaster. Most reactors concentrate on what Dawes did, but the reason is now explored, maybe because of the religious nature. Dawes truly represents what the Bible says in John 15:13
No one has greater love [nor stronger commitment] than to lay down his own life for his friends.
"No man than this", that is, Jesus was referencing the limit of man's love in John 15. However Romans 5:10, reveals a love Deeper than this.... and that is, a all-consuming love for one's enemies, which only God is the Source of.
@@undrielgrenger53 I appreciate it
@@joshuacordero8163 Thank God.
Great movie and great reaction. So glad you liked it. Fun fact about the real life events of this battle and Desmond's actions; what is portrayed in this movie is actually a toned DOWN version of what he did. The producers felt that if they depicted the full version of what he did, audiences wouldn't believe it. Desmond Doss kicking the grenade? That happened, but it didn't put him out of commission. His leg was torn up by shrapnel, but he tended to the injury himself. Removed the pieces of shrapnel, stitched what needed stitched, and then bandaged it all up. He couldn't walk, but even then, he still chose to remain on the battlefield, crawling from man to man to patch them up. Eventually, he got shot in the arm, and it broke his arm. With only one arm and one leg working, he finally allowed other guys in his company to carry him off the field.
Great reaction. I knew you would love this movie, especially the ending. A true hero.
This is truly one of my favorite and beautiful movies I've ever seen. I cry every time I watch it
Thanks! I really appreciate you reacting to this. It’s beautiful to see a movie touch you the way it touched me. I love it when you’re totally open & vulnerable and willing to show it to us. Love your reactions. ❤️
Thank you so much for the support. I'm glad you are loving my reactions and enjoyed this. ❤️
This is one of your best reactions Bliss ❤️ this is a hard movie to get through, but it’s worth it. Desmond is an amazing human being
@Miss_Biss_Flix Go away, scam bot. You're not the real Madalina. Why am I trying to reason with a bot?
@@ctakitimu Thank you for reporting the bot so I don't have to read it (if you did)!Everyone should do this
@@Dr.Acula76 You're welcome. I always report them, at least so no one else reads them. A small amount of us may even fall for the scam, so also trying to protect them
@@ctakitimu I always report them too! I also appreciate when others do
Great reaction. Desmond Doss and Leslie "Bull" Allen show that great feats can be accomplished in war without a weapon. With "The Ballad of Bull" Sabaton have made a very good and heartfelt tribute to this guy.
Hacksaw Ridge is a great film and a miraculous story. I always break in tears when I see the real Desmond Doss talk about what really happened. Glad you enjoyed it!
"no one wins in a war.... No one..."
This Marine, with tears streaming down my face, could not agree with you more...
I don't know if anyone said anything explaining his large supply of morphine, but medics and soldiers alike were always advised if they came upon a wounded comrade to use the wounded soldiers' morphine and any other medical supplies before using theirs. That's probably why it looked like Doss was swimming in meds and other supplies for the wounded ..
His Dad was a WW1 veteran with PTSD but they didn't recognize it back then.....Cowardice, Shell Shock, Battle Fatigue...but not recognized until 1980's in the US military.
Im pretty sure plasma is used to maintain the blood pressure so that you don't die from shock.
Band of Brothers. 10 episode series, stylistically similar -- biographical, World War II (but in Europe), interviews with the actual veterans but performed by actors, and absolutely excellent.
Just to let you know that most of the soldiers carried a small medical pouch which would also contain morphine .. that’s why he didn’t run out .. also soldiers would scrounge ammo for weapons from the surrounding dead soldiers & that why seemed to have so much .. great reaction ☘️
In reality Desmond saved well over 100 men taking Hacksaw that day..and also got wounded in a battle in Guam he saved over 30 soldiers while being shot in the arm..this man was truly an angel on earth..
Yes the actual number he saved that night was almost certainly over 100. As for that second part
No he didn't.
One, The Battle of Guam happened before the Battle of Okinawa, and while he earned a bronze star on Guam and in the Philippines both, there was no instance of him doing anything in prior actions quite like he did in that night on Hacksaw.
Yeah he may have saved 30 men prior to that night but he did it under normal circumstances as a medic and he had not been shot in the arm.
The scene that is portrayed in the film is only slightly true. He was in a foxhole with two riflemen when a Japanese night raid happened. A Japanese soldier threw a grenade that landed in the hole. Desmond was the only one that saw it and kicked it out just before it exploded. He was thrown through the air and peppered with shrapnel.
He lay there for 5 hours waiting for another medic. When he was finally picked up by litter bearers they were passing by another wounded man when he demanded they put him down and take the more seriously injured man. They did, and while he was waiting a sniper shot him shattering his arm. He proceeded to bandage and splint his broken arm with broken rifle butts and crawled 300 yards (roughly the same in meters) to the aid station.
That was the only time he was shot in the arm and he did not actually treat anyone let alone 30 men after the fact. Moreover that injury left his arm paralyzed and ended the war for him.
I see you making the same half true statements on every Hacksaw Ridge Reaction.
desmonddoss.com/bio/bio-real.php
Please read up on his actual actions. What he did was amazing enough without embellishing it. He was a humble man, he wouldn't appreciate stories that make him seem like more than he was.
Plasma is a blood derivative that is safe for all blood types. In battle you can't carry all the blood types so plasma is used instead. When the injured get to a hospital they usually come off plasma.
You are my number 1 favorite reactors. As a man often numb to emotion at 49. I feel your emotions thru yours and it helps alot.
Makes me cry every time,amazing human being ,Doss!!
Plasma has coagulating factors that reduce bleeding by making the blood clot faster. I just gave an exam on blood transfusion 3 days ago 😂😂 great reaction btw.
Wow, best reaction to a movie I have ever seen on UA-cam. Seeing your emotions while watching a movie that I have seen a dozen times even made me emotional once more. I am recommending this reaction to everyone I know. Thank you!
My dad had me when he was older. He was a ww2 vet and fought the Japanese. A true hero shot through and through the spleen. He patched himself up with mud leaves scraps of tshirts and first aid bandages, and kept fighting. Until the battle was over, then he got first aid. He said no way he was gonna wait on the battlefield for a medic, but maybe get picked up by Japanese soldiers! I saw the scars. He told me some pretty gruesome stories about Japanese inhuman treatment. He hated the Japanese for a very very long time.
I guess the last thing going through he's mind at that moment was worry about infection, hats off to him.
My Dad was a pilot in the European Theater during WWII. I served for 20 yrs in the Army myself and settled on the Island of Guam back in '92. What the Japanese did to the innocent civilian populations out here in the pacific were way beyond Inhuman. Your Father was absolutely right to have hated those animals.
@@jdsguam he did get over his hatred, when I was about 12. But believe me, when I say it took a... Jesus come to the meeting, Paul on the road to Damascus miracle...that's what it took.
Doss fought an incredible fight long before he saw actual combat.
52:19 .... my favorite scene of this movie. Doss did not leave Smitty's body up there to be forgotten. Just like you, I love how he still cared for his friend. I always break down seeing that.
The actor that was the dad played Mr smith in matrix! Hugo weaving.
5:23 "Oh! Wow, wow, _wow!_ That's an artery."
I think it's his _femoral_ artery. That's the main artery that supplies blood to the _leg._ No artery in the _entire body_ carries a larger volume of blood.
Great reaction, Bisscute. You have such a sweet spirit and kind heart. My Great Uncle Eddie Williamson was a US Army Captain in the Pacific Theater of Operations, and was on Okinawa. Sadly, he never spoke of his experiences so I don't know if he was in that particular area during the battle of Okinawa, but the Army had less of a presence than the US Marines in the Pacific, so he very well may have been there. I know he was in Okinawa, Guadalcanal, and Iwo Jima. R.I.P., Uncle Eddie. I love your reactions so much.
Ammunition in the M3 Grease gun is a 30 round magazine. Its not unrealistic as it has a slow cyclic rate of fire and you carry more than one magazine. at the minimum you carry at least 4. Desmond Doss by his battalion records has rescued something between 125-150 soldiers. The movie only made it out to be 75 when in actual reality hes saved twice that amount.
What a reaction........i was literally tossing tissues at my screen for you. Its really rough watching you get so heartbroken sometimes, but at the same time, immensely gratifying to see such compassion and respect you show for those who sacrifice for all of us. ❤❤❤❤ as always
You have the best raw human reaction I have seen to this!
We really like your movie channel. Seems like you are an educated girl. You tell the movies very well. Keep it up, San Francisco USA
I've seen most of your movie reactions and many of your music reactions and I think this is one of my favorite! It's really something watching you open up and empathize with others you see. You're super special and I hope you continue your journey for a very very long time!! Take care! 💕💖
Its amazing to think that because he saved those 75 soldiers, there are thousands of people alive today that otherwise wouldn't be.
Another great reaction, Miss Madalina. If I had more money I would happily help support your work financially. Medics in WW2 gave plasma to wounded soldiers because:
"During WWII the use of blood plasma was an essential component of treating wounded soldiers. When a soldier is critically wounded, blood loss is extremely dangerous. Rather than the loss of oxygen carrying red blood cells, the greatest concern is the loss of fluids which results in low blood pressure."
Plasma helps clot the blood.
I just wait for so long long time to watch your reaction for this great movie . Thankyou biss ❤🙏🏻
"Lone Survivor" and "American Sniper" are Great Movie Too and Also Based On True Story 😊
The part that gets me most every time is when Doss comes down off the cliff wild-eyed and twitching. Garfield played the overwhelming stress of what he went through so well.
You are one of the most compassionate, empathetic people I have ever known, Bisscute. Your parents must be so proud of you!
Thank you, they are
15:28 the "double bowline" was a knot Doss used in his work on the farm. At Hacksaw it enabled him to lower two soldiers at a time.
It nearly broke my heart watching the tears roll down your cheek. It feels good to know that there are still tender hearted people I
left in this world
Crazy true story. Gets me every time. What a film!
Whats often over looked is Desmond was a 7th day Adventist. Part of his beliefs was to not eat meat. At this time the US Army meals were mostly meat and potatoes. The idea was carbohydrates for quick energy and protein and fat for lasting energy. This left Desmond in a state of near starvation at all times. He often survived by foraging root and other vegetables, fruits and coconuts on the different islands he helped invade.
I was so excited to be able to watch this reaction with you. It’s an incredible movie and story. I knew there would be tears on this one (you and me both). You’re my favourite reactor Biss! Love how genuine you are. You truly are an amazing person
Poor Madalina, that was a whole emotional rollercoaster. Loved the reaction. This movie made everybody cry, even grown "tough" men. It is one of the best true stories out there on film. Bless you and your reactions
You have a kind heart and have great empathy for Desmond’s father and the trauma he endures because of his experiences during WW I. I admire your sensitivity and insight. Peace and love.
An amazing film. It's one of those that really makes one examine their own life. I love that Desmond's faith inspired him to rise to a higher level and work miracles on the battlefield. It's really a beautiful thing to see someone so selfless and stick to their conviction. 🙏
Great reaction Bliss, you are a truly sweet soul. My father fought in Korea and had definite trauma. I didn't realize why he was the way he was until I got older, but as a child I hated him. I came to realize that he was damaged by war and understood finally that it wasn't his fault
If u read about Doss, he was actually put in for another CMH. And saved many more lives. Some of the things he did, was like reading about Gideon or Jacob, from the Bible, just completely miraculous! He went into many more battles than just this, and everytime he prayed before going, his unit was successful with few casualties. One time before a battle, he forgot to pray, and that unit got chewed up. He never forgot to pray, gain!
No need to apologize for a reaction. Its visceral, and its natural and it's You. Never apologies for being you. This was one of the best and most heartwarming reactions yet because at the start you said you were becoming jaded (emotionally distant or numb) but by the end it was clear you were not and that is good. Bless and be well.
It really is interesting how different moments affect different people. Watching The Green Mile you weren't nearly as affected as most other people but this movie got you. It makes me curious, what kinds of lives people live that causes them to react in such varied ways.
35:40 I can't believe they used the Wilhelm Scream. o.O
I'm convinced at this point that Hollywood is contractually obligated to use the Wilhelm Scream at least once in every movie that has action scenes.
Insanely beautiful, Incredibly intelligent and very expressive.
Don't apologize for being you. I'm a grown man that can't get through this movie without tears.
God Bless.
Your reaction to this made me day, thank you! This is my favorite movie of all time.
Plusma was used in WWII when someone got shot or lost a limb to prevent them from dying from an infection!
Though I am not sure if they still use it, but what I know is that they used Morphine for the pain and Plusma to prevent infections!
Ohh this one really turned you into a Christmas Story..... well at least Rudolph ;-).....So nice to watch you being human....Thank You.....
@BissFlix doesn't cry that often, but when she does, it is truly impactful! I feel each and every one of those tears...great reaction!
"This is the Braveheart guy" :-D Makes my day
Plasma is the fluid in the bloodstream, which has had the blood cells removed. When a solder loses a lot of blood, you need to have the blood replaced with something, otherwise the patient's blood pressure drops and the patient dies. If someone gets a blood transfusion, the blood must be correctly type-matched, otherwise it will kill the person getting the blood (there is an exception to this, but it's rare.) Plasma has had the blood-cells removed, leaving only the liquid, so it can be given to anyone, keeping the patient alive until they can be given the proper blood.
38:41 best JUMP SCARE ever
47:05 nice one
I love her so much, what a sweet, cute, kind woman she is. She also has an accent that is so beautiful. I can't stop watching your videos, thank you for being here.
54:34- That's right. You don't know how strong "prayer from a true believer" is. Better wait. This is gonna get you the best possible outcome.
Thank you! I appreciate your genuine and moving reaction. There is nothing for which to apologize.
The actress who played Desmond's wife is Theresa Palmer. She's in an amazing British show called "A Discovery of Witches". It's only 3 seasons of 12 or less episodes per season. She's good as the main actress and the show is wonderful.
I've never seen Biss 😢😢 this much 😊
Same 😢
Best reaction I've seen to Hacksaw Ridge without a doubt, especially because you truly understand the period and tactics. Thank you very much.
Such a fantastic movie! Thanks for sharing your reaction and intimate feelings!
Nice to see someone get rewarded for saving lives and not taking them.
The Beauty Of A Genuine Cry/Tears Is A Beautiful Sight, So You Crying Is Not Ugly Or looks Bad. Love your React to this Great Movie.
The battle for Okinawa was the bloodiest battle in the pacific theater. It was absolutely brutal hell for 3 months straight.
The crazy part about this movie is that in the film they actually purposely undersold all the things Desmond actually did because they didn't think that audiences in theaters would believe it.
One of my favorite lines of dialogue is when Smitty said the rifles won’t bite, and Desmond said “Yes they will. Look around you”
What an epic reaction Biss! This one hits deep! You have a good heart! ❤
My grandfather as a rifle instructor in WWI. He said he had two students whom he couldn’t teach how to shoot. The first one, I don’t remember about but the second saw a man kill his father with a handgun. Every time he handled a gun he got physical ill. He became a truck driver. Just because a man was unable to fire a gun certainly didn’t he counted serve. An amazing movie with an important message. You did a great job on this one.
This was filmed in Australia. All of the actors in the production are Australian, apart from Andrew Garfield and Vince Vaughn, if I am not mistaken (e.g the wife, the dad, the mother, Captain Glover etc). We are good at passing for Americans or Britons if we have to. Many of the soldiers are meant to be from different places in the US, so some also have to do regional accents. Mel Gibson (from Braveheart, Mad Max etc.) directed the film and is also an Australian. More and more films are going to be made here going forward due to recent studio investment but we've been doing it for a while now, with a lot of blockbusters made here from the Matrix, to Pirates of the Caribbean and the latest Thor films. The last film you reivewed (Gladiator) starred Australian, Russel Crowe, as Maximus. The realities of the battle scenes would have been well understood by most of the actors because most of our grandfathers gave it to the Japanese during the same war, but jungle warfare was more common. The Americans suffered a lot of casualties trying to take heavily fortified islands towards the end of the war, like in these scenes. The Japanese dug big tunnels, so bombing wasn't very effective. It was a dishonour to the Japanese to surrender, so most fought to the death. The allies used to throw grenades or fire flamethrowers down the tunnels that would burn men alive or cause suffocation by consuming much of the oxygen. In the end I find it a bit confusing as to why so many lives had to be needlessly sacrificed in the last few days of the war, when the allies had already won in Europe and they had naval and air superiority in time to drop 2 nukes on Japan that ended it. I guess the nukes were a bit of a secret that had yet to be live tested, and we didn't know how the Japanese would react. Every kid should learn about World War 2 at school. One reason why it is probably not spoken about so much in Romania is because the country was allied with Germany, Italy and Japan, prior to falling behind the Iron Curtain. If it wasn't for the unbelievable resistance of the British Empire, the Nazis would have won, as America only joined the war towards the end, and the world would be a completely different place. At least 90% of all men of fighting age in Australia voluntarily signed up immediately to fight this war and were engaged for 6-7 years across Asia, Africa and Europe. The Japanese were particularly cruel at this time and unspeakable things would have occurred if they had invaded mainland Australia. It was nothing like the friendly, happier Japan that we know today. Germany's top general (Rommel) mentioned a few times that the Australian and New Zealand soldiers were the most superior on the battle field of all that he'd encountered, and this is something we are proud of.
Your honest emotional reaction was a beautiful thing to watch.
Great reaction and great movie. Saw the whole thing on Patreon.
Is her channel watch along where you bring your own copy? Just curious. Thanks!
@@RobertH-ol6mw watch along
@@bandmaidfanATL OK, thanks!
As a former US Army Combat Medic, I found this movie to be compelling, interesting, well produced with actors and actresses that seemed perfect for the roll they were playing. Oddly, I was not aware of this true account story, until just prior to watching the movie. While I live in California, I saw actually watched this movie while receiving long term, in patient mental health care for Military related PTSD, at a VA hospital located in Roanoke, Virginia. Again, another great movie and great reaction video from BissFlix. Keep up the good work.
One of the best reactions i've seen from this movie, and i've seen many. Really great
Love this movie! So glad you watched it! Best war movie ever IMO!
Thank you for your very thoughtful reaction to this video. I loved it!
One of my favorite scenes is when the soldier is listening to doss ask for his bible and without question runs straight back to the field for it even as explosives and bullets rained around him, retrieving it and bringing it back. I feel Doss is what inspired him to pull such a feat, and God truly was watching over that man and his people.
Greetings from Poland. Hacksaw Ridge is one of my favorite movies of all time and Your reactuon to the movie is probably the best I've seen so far. Cheers!
My name is John and I am a recent subscriber to your channel. I must say, this is my favorite reaction to this movie so far. Nice job Biss!! Looking forward to watching your passed reactions, and of course, those to come. Thank you for your work on producing such entertaining and heart-felt videos. By the way, you remind me of a granddaughter I have. Best of luck always. John
They weren't watching a movie. Back then, they didn't have much in the way of trailers, they had like, news and stuff. The movie had something for everyone. Romance, human interest, action, and the authenticity. Showing all the glory and horror that war has to offer. And the practice is called Seppuku, also known as Hara-Kiri. The Japanese had a very Samurai mentality, so for them, death before dishonor.
"The Thin Red Line" is a beautifully filmed, star-studded movie with some amazing performances about the first major land battle in the Pacific. It was filmed on the actual island the battle took place on. Very introspective, philosophical, shows the war from the thoughts & emotions of the soldiers. Nominated for Best Picture. If you want a war movie with romance try "Captain Corelli's Mandolin", the surrounding events of the story actually happened. Very beautiful, touching movie.
I love how natural your reaction was. The faces you would make at asshole characters are the same I would make sometimes lol. Also I'm sorry for laughing when you screamed at that dream sequence. I just wasn't expecting that kind of reaction.
When he jumped down off the cliff... damn such a badass... beautiful shot
The movie they go to see on their date is one of the series "Why We Fight," which was made to teach soldiers the reasons that the USA was at war. It was so successful in that respect that it was released to regular public cinemas. It was produced by Frank Capra, one of the great directors of such classic movies as "Mr Smith Goes to Washington" and "It's a Wonderful Life."
26:02- Exactly. The dad knows more than all of them in that room, what War is all about. 27:07- My favorite part of the movie. Holy crap, the dad actually showed up!!!
Even though hes still being a jerk, dad changed a lot the day Desmond pulled a gun on him
I have enjoyed many of your reactions, both movie and music. It's nice to see people from around the world appreciate and enjoy the same things. This movie is special, beyond that of almost any other war film, and it's great to see a young person who recognizes the beauty of this man and his story. I'm sure it's probably to late but I would be interested in hearing about your mothers reaction. Unlike many (because I'm old) I knew the story of Desmond Doss and this movie reflects the highlights of his story. The only key discrepancy in the movie is that Desmond did not return home after Hacksaw Ridge. He was treated and recovered from his wounds and then returned to active duty where he was again wounded. He was shot in his left arm while helping another wounded soldier. That is the picture which shows Desmond in a cast in the final part of the movie.
Such a wonderful reaction.
