What makes Desmond Doss’s story even more tragic was what came after. This day would forever echo in his mind, ridden with shell shock and PTSD, he could barely even live on his own. His wife had cancer and when he drove her to the hospital in the rain, they crashed and she died, leaving him all alone. He wouldn’t return to Hacksaw Ridge until the early 2000’s, just before his death
@Somebody well they’ve been one of our closest allies for decades now... Are we supposed to hold grudges over things that happened 75+ years ago? Isn’t that sort of how ww2 got started in the first place?
World war 2 was tragic all round. Hiroshima for example plus all the Jews that were killed not forgetting all the poor lads who never came home on all sides
Banzai charges almost never succeeded during WW2, however, in the few times the charges breeched American lines survivor accounts tell of how truly terrifying it was and how little the Japanese soldier seemed to care about dying.
Of course. Japanese soldiers were afraid to die because they are same as you guys. They had family, homelands, and pride. Most of them said “お母さん.” before die. It means “Mom.” I hope that Japan and the U.S will get along better and the world will be peaceful.
Banzai charges werent meant to be tactics to defeat the enemy rather as a last stand sort of attack in which the japanese knew the battle was lost but couldnt bear to face the fact and surrender. So rather then commit seppuku which would do no harm to their foes, they did banzai charges in order to to take their foes with them. This tactic was very successful in the war in china where the chinese had bolt action rifles and couldnt manage to take out enough men to stop the charge. As a result they were 90% of the times overwhelmed and defeated. Thats why this thing was born in the first place. Do your research first
@@rayyansagheer6 that’s pretty much why the k/d in the pacific theatre is so lopsided. In other theaters combatants would surrender but Japanese soldiers fought to the death.
I'm Japanese. I appreciate that we can honor each other's ancestors through this video. I will never forget this history and hope for a world without blood. thank you for reading my poor english.
5:27 you did good. Your friend was on your shoulder when life left him. He had hope that you were carrying him to safety. Thats not the worst way to go. You did good to your friend.
The best thing about this scene is that: they pointed the camera at a certain random guy doing some impressive feats to make us think: "hmm, this guy must be the hero and will decimate every enemy he sees", only to have him exploded or riddled with shots seconds later.
That’s really what war is like. We hear about the heroes who lived, and some who died, but think about the countless ones whose name no one even knows.
@@doge8825 U hit the nail right on the head. Some acts of extreme bravery in combat were never known because no one survived !!!! How sad :( :( If u think about it, You might want to CRY !!
What I like to do is imagine the main character is everybody in the background, they had childhoods like the character, goals like the character, dreams like the main character, but just die instantly.
It reminds me of the war hero, John Basilone, getting killed within his first hour on Iwo Jima. He received the Medal of Honor for his bravery on Guadalcanal two years prior, allowing him a trip home. Even when he was home and getting his life back in shape, he decided to go back in for his friends and brothers. While he was on Iwo Jima he was ordering marines forward up the beach and taking charge of his men, running in and out of Japanese fire. On his way back up the beach with other marines, a mortar shell landed in between them, killing them instantly. Goes to show anyone can get it, even the toughest of the tough. There’s a great documentary on here about Iwo Jima and one of the machine gunners who was there with Basilone just moments before he perished. Very sad stuff. Mad respect for those men.
Except for our boy O'Doyle in saving private ryan. That maniac stormed the beaches of D-Day and torchs the nazis while they were still in their bunkers.haha
That part where the two dudes are screaming at each other just before a grenade goes off? Thats basically the entire Japan/USA war. Absolutely brutal from start to finish.
he didn't have the guts for combat, but he was loyal to his comrades. (no shame for the first part of that statement either, just shows that not everyone can handle that kind of mental strain -- Hollywood was more fit-looking and jacked than practically anyone else in his unit, but it's not always about the physique... as Doss showed us)
@@luhtwizzy922 those Japs weren't even human to begin with. I appreciate the fact Americans committed crimes in the Pacific (incendiary bombing and nuclear bombing) just to teach those midgets who's boss
The one reason I like thsi scene is how it depicts the Banzai charge. In most movies the Japanease are just charging without shoting their guns or are shoot down at light speed. this scene really depicts how those charges work. Their greatest strange is the fear they cause and the momentum of the soldiers not stopping for anything. The moment the defenders leave their positions and try to retreat is the moment the charge was succsessfull. The retreading enemy is now out in the open and can be easily shot in the back.
You have to distinguish between the military and the spirituell banzai charges. The military ones, attacking the enemy frontal to achieve a military goal, were dropped, but the spirituell ones, attacking the enemy to die a honorable death (most of the times when no supply anymore, no surrender), remained to the end of the war. American soldiers didn't distinguish between those two most of the times, even though they had clearly different goals.
Except aggressive probing and flanking and banzai charges are two completely different things. Japan trained its infantry to aggressively fire and maneuver like every other army in the world (probably except Germany who walked away from the Great War with some new ideas about focusing around squad machine guns). Banzai charge was just some face-saving method to avoid captivity when all hope was lost.
Yes. You noted about the German WW1 experience, and the lessons assimilated on platoon and squadron infantry tactics. Very valuable indeed for a manouver warfare oriented military as the WW2 Wehrmacht. And you recalled that Japanese as German army was adept to fight a movement and maneuver style of warfare. And the Chinese military aren't so capable as Japanese on that matter. But when determined, more experienced, and and made strong in a fortified and well prepared set of positions, the Chinese would fight valiant and decently fine, specially in a city to be defended to the last breath, as Chang De. The lack of trench and urban warfare doctrine on the Japanese side would give the defenders the desperately needed advantage, and as the Nazis in Stalingrad, the Hirohito's subjects suffered a good dose of Rattenkrieg torment. And the Nippon invaders, as German in the occupied European and Soviet lands, had to deal also with vicious and organized guerilla resistance.
I don't think you understand what you are talking about. Morale had nothing to do with Japan's early success in the Pacific, superior numbers, surprise attack, better intelligence, and firepower paved their way.
There is no time. If Japanese , just use anything but the weapon when it is empty If American , simply looking down a moment will cause a knife in your intestines Fuck war
Nice to meet you, I am Japanese. First of all, I sincerely pray for the soldiers of both countries who fought for their lives for their respective countries. As a successor to the countries that fought in the same World War II, the United States eventually won and Japan lost, but that's not the important thing, and both countries are important people due to this war. It means that he has taken a life that he does not have to lose. Certainly, the earth was born, civilization developed, and there was always a war between them. However, each of us must continue to live in a world where wars occur and a lot of blood and tears do not flow. Therefore, let us the people not only rely on politicians, but also pay close attention to the movements of the world and strive to prevent war again.
It must have been the same. Deep inside they were afraid, which caused them to scream. Along with the hate for the other guy. It was the most emotional scene for my.
I was stationed in Okinawa a few years back and in a tour group of the battle sights I was able to tag along with this old fella who knew doss. He pointed out exactly where he was hoisted to safety and where doss hid from the enemy fire. A small small rock about 3 foot high and only 2 foot wide. I got to stand where he stood and imagine what he saw on this small little ridgeline no bigger than 70 yards across.
That’s why this movie isn’t that good. The real maeda escarpment or “hacksaw ridge” was about 30 feet high and 200-250 feet on the part where the battle happened. The narrowest point was at needle rock where it was only 2 feet wide to cross. Americans would be mowed down trying to cross it. This movie had so much potential
@@itsyenji so you like seeing cartoonish battle scenes where a 80 mm mortar makes someone fly 20 feet in the air? Or a satchel charge has the power of a 500lb bomb?
@@kasper7574 ur missing the point. He was brave enough to carry his friend under fire, but he wasn’t able to save him. This pushes him to go out and save dozens of other men. He may not have been able to heal wounds, but he’s a hero…
@@coltonhenry7990 Hi, im japanese. sorry about my poor English. It is said as they didnt wanna go to the war. But we dont know is that true or false. After the war, the positive mind of killing American had been as taboo in japan because japan has been american territory. Besides, The almost things relate war is deleted. For example, Text books, Archives, novels, published things, and people. So there is no judgment materials. But I think, almost guys were hated american people. Before the end of war, japanese people didnt know well about the world. because there were only a few news company. And they were nearby government. It was maybe like north korea. people dont know things without news paper. So in the war, they trusted only about news paper and it says american is "enemy monster" like a game. Now the true thing is in the dark. But I hope we both dont hate the other country and love them. Its most powerful deterrence of war.
Replica Films to me it looked like the outerwall of the exploding gas tank on one flamethrower dude grazed another. the guy holding the original exploding backpack would hope to die instantly as he would have 100 percent 3rd degree burns
The problem with tanks is not so much that they could explode and kill nearby troops. Its that they are bullet magnets that draw fire due to their size. Friendly nearby infantry don't like getting the bullet ricochets and shrapnel bouncing off them.
France in 1914: oh shit the firepower of this war is so much higher than the Crimean war, I better ditch the old ideas of massive melee charges! Japan in 1944:
most of there guns were pretty shit i mean why not right? because they were still using thee samurai code bushido that's where they got the ancient tactic of banzai melee charging the Japanese were probably the bravest soldiers in world war two because of that shit even if there the enemy i mean you cant really blame the Japanese in warfare most of japan was always at war so all they know is death crazy
@@The_Dodge_Meister yeah- dude, Japan was just as modernized as any other nation during WW2, the only area they really lacked in was armor production (tanks) and a bit in the artillery department. And much of this was just because Japan didn’t really put much into these, as they saw no real use for them, considering the terrain that Japan was fighting on. In the 1930s (forgive me if I don’t know the details of the date and time) when Japan invaded China, they had a reasonable amount of light to medium tanks, that did their job fine when deployed right, especially in the earlier years of the invasion when the fighting was centered in and around the urban area of China, all the towns, cities, etc. And its when you start getting into the rural countryside of China later in the war that thanks and armor start getting sorta bogged down in a way going across the overgrown, mountainous, scrappy terrain. And now onto the other point; spending, what Japan put into tank manufacturing. Like I said before, in the earlier years of conflict, Japan was experimenting with tanks and armor just like any other nation at the time, and, like I said, put out a good amount of light and medium tanks during that time. But as conflict shifted, and WW2 started, the US became the main enemy of Japan, and by then, and especially later on in the war, the Chinese front just got bogged down and came to a slow backwater front as all the resources where getting poured into the Pacific campaign against the US. And, in case you forgot, the Pacific is filled with water. An ocean. And oceans mean boats. So Japan increasingly put more and more effort and resources into their fleet and and air power as well, as the age of the carrier was was beginning its peak at the time of WW2. So, with all this going on, and like I said before, the Chinese front getting less and less attention, and the war shifting into water and air territory, Japan’s focus wasn’t really on tank production anymore. And from then on it just sinks down forgotten by the Japanese high command in favor of naval and air forces. And Japan just wasn’t putting anything else into their tank programs anymore. And that’s how the Japanese amour department kinda grinded to a halt. Other than that, Japan was on the ball with military technology. Their air power was unmatched until about the second half of the war, with the zero ruling the skies and striking fear into allied pilots, and same goes with their navy for the most part, with Japan being pretty much the first nation to affectively use aircraft carriers on a large scale operation to great success. (Pearl Harbor) Kicking off a new age, and proving that carries where going to be the dominate force in naval warfare. And, fun fact, after the US forced Japan out of isolation in the late 1800s, Japan quickly realized that they where outmatched by the new world, and needed to catch up. And catch up they did, rapidly modernizing at a faster rate than any other nation had ever done, defeating Russia, a major European power, in the Ruso-Japanese war just about 50 years later, and being one of the main axis powers of WW2, giving the US a more than fair fight across half the world. So, in other words, Japan was definitely not shit. And if you look into them more, you’ll find that they where actually very unique in the way they fought, and the tactics they used, and how their government, military, and social standards where set up. Learn some facts kid. (PS if I got something wrong in this, please correct me.) Anyway, c ya!
5:53 i love how here, he dwindles his faith a little bit when he tries to grasp what God wants him to do. He just lost a close friend of his, and he feels lost. And, as if on cue, he starts hearing the cries of other soldiers, begging and crying for a medic to rescue, and he sums up his courage and charges into the battlefield as if he is charging in the flames of hell.
“Alright...” brings shivers down my spine to this day. A man who charges into the mouth of hell wit nothin but faith to protect him is a man I’d follow any day
A-fucken-men! A faith as small as a mustard seed can move mountains! I may be butchering that bible verse but I believe this. Faith can be a powerful thing. Not necessarily religious just faith. Faith that you'll survive, faith that you can save that person. Faith man. I like how Hollywood portrayed this mans accomplishments. Shit they had to tone it down cause no one would believe he did it. I love the story of Desmond Doss. One of the greatest heroes during WW2

@@pbjman5809 eyewitnesses couldn't have seen him drag 100 men, and it could've been more than 50 because he served in the battle of Guam, Leyte and Okinawa, and there's no doubt he was saving men left and right in all three of those battles. So, yeah, it's very probable he saved more than 50 less than 100.
Lol depends on which are they spray rather axe then then smelling some ppl don't put shit on and straight up just stay smelling yet complain when somebody spray axe or colone
Although in reality, they didn't actually explode. the liquids within the tanks were only really combustible together with flame. When shot, the tanks just lost presser and the platform wouldn't work. Still looks alright tho.
@15 is legal In Europe They were invented, but the technology for making incendiary rounds didn't suit themselves much for infantry use. They were in use in fighter planes for instance. And on the subject of whether or not it would explode. Here's a quote from a pilot in a plane that was shot down by incendiary ammo: "I could smell powder smoke, hot and strong, but it didn't make me feel tough this time. It was from the cannon shells and incendiary bullets that had hit my machine...Bullets were going between my legs, and I remember seeing a bright flash of an incendiary bullet going past my leg into the gas tank...Then a little red tongue licked out inquiringly from under the gas tank in front of my feet and became a hot little bonfire in one corner of the cockpit."
I'm Portuguese, and I had a Chinese roommate when I went to school at UBC a few years ago whose great-grandfather died fighting the Japanese army in WWII. I‘m really amazed at the military literacy and command capability of the US military. In fact, China and other Asian countries are in a much more difficult situation facing the Japanese military. Without such artillery support to cover the retreat, the battle losses were high, and the enemy fought fiercely with flesh and blood.
Everyone is saying "oh infinite ammo this" and "no reload that" but has it ever accrued to anyone that they reloaded when offscreen? We're not watching every person every second, they do things within the time we dont see them.
Yes but this is a movie, reloading shows an attention to detail and adds to the realism of the movie itself. Anything can happen off screen, but as the saying goes; "If I didn't see it, then it doesn't count."
Trevor T not to mention that I heard an M1 ping in the middle of all the explosions and the exchange of gunfire... nobody is going to notice that because they are in an active war zone and there are explosions everywhere, not even Japanese or the Germans could hear it, including the audience...
3:19 is such a beautiful moment. You have two soldiers, both adopting such beautiful forms of total and complete resistance to the enemy. The Japanese, looking to be a brave soldier and take down an American, charges him with a live grenade, yet the American grapples with him and shouts at him showing the true struggle of mocking each other’s beliefs. For if the American proved to the Japanese that he was a brave fighter, who was truly braver? If the Japanese could kill one last American, then he could say he died doing his duty. It’s quite the struggle that I love so much.
This was probably the most intense and powerful 7 minute clip of a movie I have ever watched. I’m honestly in awe. They amount of emotion captured here is unexplainable may the souls of those who perished in those horrible times of war find peace.

Nothing Japanese about it, Banzai charge basically can be found from Europeans and they just yell "Banzai" that even also has no Japanese root since it's from China.
@@apalahartisebuahnama7684 the europeans never had the same ferocity and the determination to die as the japanese. It was basically a privellege for them.
@@rayyansagheer6 I don't know how familiar you are with the ferocity of the Crusaders in the Holy Land, but if you're convinced that dying in battle will give you eternal rewards whereas cowardice reaps its opposite, you could find yourself quite determined indeed.
When this movie came out and I watched it in the cinema I happened to sit next to a veteran of this horrible war. I managed to ask him was this how it was in real life. He said "what the battle?" I said "no, how gruesome." He said something I will never forget. He smiled and said "not even close bud. Not even close."
reznov similar thing happened to me when watching Saving Private Ryan the veteran told me the invaders were like butter to his MG42/MG34 he would switch from one to the other while his squad mate reloaded the other one his bunker held tons of ammo it took awhile for the invaders to get to him but he remembered how adrenaline packed he was when the first couple waves of invaders arrived.
A lot of early media didn't depict Banzai Charges correctly. Either depicted as just "the Japanese being idiots, committed to the Bushido with silent or soft yelling bayonet charge with zero gun fire, like a samurai charge" or just small squad charges. While not 100% wrong, THIS, THIS was the TRUE Banzai Charge. Hundreds, some times thousands, of men charging at you, all hyped up with rage, firing their guns. A true Banzai Charge wasn't just men running at you, it was a full on stampede of gun-totting maniacs who don't know the concept of surrender or death. Now, they rarely worked, and in WW2 they NEVER worked, but they left so many psychological scars that many men never wanted to go back.
In America, there is an old saying about war (dating back to the American Civil War). " it is better that we endure the horrors of our generation, so that our children may move past them."
@@Ba11leFieldAce Yes thats what the people who start the war want you to believe its their greed thats the cause of the war.

When I watch actual videos of this man, I truly think he was sent by God to do His work on the battlefield. Man didnt fire a shot back, he ran into it to save his fellow man. Why this man isnt more recognized is beyond me.
two things i just learned 1: Strafing is a valid tactic when your issued a flamethrower 2: When its clearly a suicide charge fight like hell to keep your distance bonus: dont bother playing dead unless youve got a mound of bodies to hide in because you will be shot *and* stabbed anyway
1: in those cirmumstances it would probably be wiser to just throw the flamerthrower and run, cause within seconds of using it you will have an execution squad of at least 100 japanese soldiers shooting at you. 2. Suicide charges are often conducted when the other side is superior in ranged combat, so yea obviously you should maintain you advantage. bonus: well rather that than be captured by the japanese.
Desmond doss is a legend he will always be remembered as a legend he has done what nobody has ever done before I really admire him and respect him he is a true hero
You know the main thing that gets me about that is when he picks him up and starts running you see all of the other men running for their life not anybody elses but you see that one man just running through all that hell with his buddy on his back
Vince Vaughn made this movie feel like a meme. Especially the boot camp and the ridge battle scenes. Dude brought tropic thunder energy to the battle 😂
John Wayne :) I'm British but my Gran was obsessed with John Wayne when i was a kid and would always say that to me. I've lived my life by it ever since.
the scene when Doss hears the men screaming for help filled me with tears when I first saw this movie and it still does, then he dons his helmet and charges into the smoke fire and ash armed with only his conviction to help his fellow man. the worlds best generation indeed friends.
wow. Watching Andrew walk right back into the Hell, I felt ... wow. That's a REAL superhero. I'm serious, that was incredible. I feel like crying at how beautiful some people can be.
This man has so much to lose, a beautiful wife and a wonderful future. Regardless of the odds (of coming back alive), he rushed into hell alone with hope of possibly finding survivers he could save. All because he had strong faith in himself and showed compassion for human lives. He understood just how precious life was and was willing to forfeit his own for the sake of others.

This was the ferocity of the japenese soldier, willing to give up their lives for their nation, the leaders willing to throw hundreds of bodies to win battles. That plus the environment was the reason why the Pacific theatre was so hard to win.

Also, alot of the Japanese high officers and officials were USA schooled
一山田 History wasn’t apart of Vietnam. The Red Scare, plus the key elements that broke down the war effort was the media, and the American public perception on the war.
I'm Japanese. Please let me apologize for the mistakes our ancestors have done However, in those days, people opposed to war were killed in torture in Japan, their family members were suffering by being called non-Japanese. So they had no choice but to fight. So please don't hurt the Japanese soldiers who killed enemy and died to protect their families.
Dont apologize its war, men did what they had to do, regardless of which side they were on men that died in the battle field deserve nothing but respect.
My grandpa fought with the Marines in the Battle of Okinawa and was wounded, so I thought that maybe Desmond Doss might have rescued him. But when I found out Desmond Doss fought with the army and the medic who rescued my grandpa had a gun with which the barrel of the gun smacked his face (unintentionally) and knocked out a couple of his teeth, I knew that Desmond Doss wasn’t the one who rescued my Grandpa.
We will never forget that you have done in the in our country Philippines in world war 2. Japanese killed and murdered thousands of innocent fiilipinos. Such a evil country.
For anyone who's curious, the american soldier who is screaming with the japanese soldier is played by Ryan Corr, who also played Ser Harwin Strong in HOTD.
When I first saw this movie, it blew me away! It was an incredible and very respectful depiction of war. This is a lot better than Saving Private Ryan in my opinion. And it shocked the hell out of me when I found out Mel Gibson directed this movie, blew my mind. He did an amazing job with this story!
The movie is great but these combat scenes are (extremely well made) Hollywood. Battles in WW2 even with Banzai charges (not a name the Japanese ever used btw…) battles did not go this fast, were rarely this deadly and never this crammed. Outside of 1914-16 not even WW1 had so many soldiers simultaneously firing at such a small area. Not to mention the extreme accuracy if each shot delivered here. It is great hollywood action and it does very well portray dread of a battle but I would put this on a similar scale as saving private ryan‘s last big battle but worse than the Omaha beach scene

What I like to do is imagine the main character is everybody in the background, they had childhoods like the character, goals like the character, dreams like the main character, but just die instantly.
It reminds me of the war hero, John Basilone, getting killed within his first hour on Iwo Jima. He received the Medal of Honor for his bravery on Guadalcanal two years prior, allowing him a trip home. Even when he was home and getting his life back in shape, he decided to go back in for his friends and brothers. While he was on Iwo Jima he was ordering marines forward up the beach and taking charge of his men, running in and out of Japanese fire. On his way back up the beach with other marines, a mortar shell landed in between them, killing them instantly. Goes to show anyone can get it, even the toughest of the tough. There’s a great documentary on here about Iwo Jima and one of the machine gunners who was there with Basilone just moments before he perished. Very sad stuff. Mad respect for those men.
I can’t even imagine how terrifying it must’ve been to face an enemy that doesn’t know when to give up

total warrior death
Tannohekai banzai
@@wis2big *Tennoheika, BANZAI
It is is Japanese soldiers thinking .
@@takasakitakagi2248 that's why I like them most than any other soldier. Especially Yankees
The one reason I like thsi scene is how it depicts the Banzai charge. In most movies the Japanease are just charging without shoting their guns or are shoot down at light speed. this scene really depicts how those charges work. Their greatest strange is the fear they cause and the momentum of the soldiers not stopping for anything. The moment the defenders leave their positions and try to retreat is the moment the charge was succsessfull. The retreading enemy is now out in the open and can be easily shot in the back.
You have to distinguish between the military and the spirituell banzai charges. The military ones, attacking the enemy frontal to achieve a military goal, were dropped, but the spirituell ones, attacking the enemy to die a honorable death (most of the times when no supply anymore, no surrender), remained to the end of the war. American soldiers didn't distinguish between those two most of the times, even though they had clearly different goals.
Except aggressive probing and flanking and banzai charges are two completely different things. Japan trained its infantry to aggressively fire and maneuver like every other army in the world (probably except Germany who walked away from the Great War with some new ideas about focusing around squad machine guns). Banzai charge was just some face-saving method to avoid captivity when all hope was lost.
Yes. You noted about the German WW1 experience, and the lessons assimilated on platoon and squadron infantry tactics. Very valuable indeed for a manouver warfare oriented military as the WW2 Wehrmacht.
And you recalled that Japanese as German army was adept to fight a movement and maneuver style of warfare. And the Chinese military aren't so capable as Japanese on that matter.
But when determined, more experienced, and and made strong in a fortified and well prepared set of positions, the Chinese would fight valiant and decently fine, specially in a city to be defended to the last breath, as Chang De.
The lack of trench and urban warfare doctrine on the Japanese side would give the defenders the desperately needed advantage, and as the Nazis in Stalingrad, the Hirohito's subjects suffered a good dose of Rattenkrieg torment.
And the Nippon invaders, as German in the occupied European and Soviet lands, had to deal also with vicious and organized guerilla resistance.
I don't think you understand what you are talking about. Morale had nothing to do with Japan's early success in the Pacific, superior numbers, surprise attack, better intelligence, and firepower paved their way.
Lol, banzai charges were never effective. This is all for cinematic enjoyment
I think this is the first film I have ever seen where no one reloads their gun.

Nice to meet you, I am Japanese. First of all, I sincerely pray for the soldiers of both countries who fought for their lives for their respective countries. As a successor to the countries that fought in the same World War II, the United States eventually won and Japan lost, but that's not the important thing, and both countries are important people due to this war. It means that he has taken a life that he does not have to lose. Certainly, the earth was born, civilization developed, and there was always a war between them. However, each of us must continue to live in a world where wars occur and a lot of blood and tears do not flow. Therefore, let us the people not only rely on politicians, but also pay close attention to the movements of the world and strive to prevent war again.

I got to stand where he stood and imagine what he saw on this small little ridgeline no bigger than 70 yards across.
That’s why this movie isn’t that good. The real maeda escarpment or “hacksaw ridge” was about 30 feet high and 200-250 feet on the part where the battle happened. The narrowest point was at needle rock where it was only 2 feet wide to cross. Americans would be mowed down trying to cross it. This movie had so much potential

It is said as they didnt wanna go to the war. But we dont know is that true or false.
After the war, the positive mind of killing American had been as taboo in japan because japan has been american territory.
Besides, The almost things relate war is deleted. For example, Text books, Archives, novels, published things, and people.
So there is no judgment materials. But I think, almost guys were hated american people.
Before the end of war, japanese people didnt know well about the world. because there were only a few news company. And they were nearby government.
It was maybe like north korea. people dont know things without news paper.
So in the war, they trusted only about news paper and it says american is "enemy monster" like a game.
Now the true thing is in the dark. But I hope we both dont hate the other country and love them. Its most powerful deterrence of war.
Worst part about the flamethrower guy is he did not die from the explosion
Well, he did, but didn't blow up...
Well maybe..
Replica Films to me it looked like the outerwall of the exploding gas tank on one flamethrower dude grazed another. the guy holding the original exploding backpack would hope to die instantly as he would have 100 percent 3rd degree burns
well that is the exact thing im talking about He Wish he would have died...........
The problem with tanks is not so much that they could explode and kill nearby troops. Its that they are bullet magnets that draw fire due to their size. Friendly nearby infantry don't like getting the bullet ricochets and shrapnel bouncing off them.
France in 1914: oh shit the firepower of this war is so much higher than the Crimean war, I better ditch the old ideas of massive melee charges!

@@The_Dodge_Meister that's a gross simplification
@@The_Dodge_Meister yeah- dude, Japan was just as modernized as any other nation during WW2, the only area they really lacked in was armor production (tanks) and a bit in the artillery department. And much of this was just because Japan didn’t really put much into these, as they saw no real use for them, considering the terrain that Japan was fighting on. In the 1930s (forgive me if I don’t know the details of the date and time) when Japan invaded China, they had a reasonable amount of light to medium tanks, that did their job fine when deployed right, especially in the earlier years of the invasion when the fighting was centered in and around the urban area of China, all the towns, cities, etc. And its when you start getting into the rural countryside of China later in the war that thanks and armor start getting sorta bogged down in a way going across the overgrown, mountainous, scrappy terrain. And now onto the other point; spending, what Japan put into tank manufacturing. Like I said before, in the earlier years of conflict, Japan was experimenting with tanks and armor just like any other nation at the time, and, like I said, put out a good amount of light and medium tanks during that time. But as conflict shifted, and WW2 started, the US became the main enemy of Japan, and by then, and especially later on in the war, the Chinese front just got bogged down and came to a slow backwater front as all the resources where getting poured into the Pacific campaign against the US. And, in case you forgot, the Pacific is filled with water. An ocean. And oceans mean boats. So Japan increasingly put more and more effort and resources into their fleet and and air power as well, as the age of the carrier was was beginning its peak at the time of WW2. So, with all this going on, and like I said before, the Chinese front getting less and less attention, and the war shifting into water and air territory, Japan’s focus wasn’t really on tank production anymore. And from then on it just sinks down forgotten by the Japanese high command in favor of naval and air forces. And Japan just wasn’t putting anything else into their tank programs anymore. And that’s how the Japanese amour department kinda grinded to a halt. Other than that, Japan was on the ball with military technology. Their air power was unmatched until about the second half of the war, with the zero ruling the skies and striking fear into allied pilots, and same goes with their navy for the most part, with Japan being pretty much the first nation to affectively use aircraft carriers on a large scale operation to great success. (Pearl Harbor) Kicking off a new age, and proving that carries where going to be the dominate force in naval warfare. And, fun fact, after the US forced Japan out of isolation in the late 1800s, Japan quickly realized that they where outmatched by the new world, and needed to catch up. And catch up they did, rapidly modernizing at a faster rate than any other nation had ever done, defeating Russia, a major European power, in the Ruso-Japanese war just about 50 years later, and being one of the main axis powers of WW2, giving the US a more than fair fight across half the world. So, in other words, Japan was definitely not shit. And if you look into them more, you’ll find that they where actually very unique in the way they fought, and the tactics they used, and how their government, military, and social standards where set up. Learn some facts kid. (PS if I got something wrong in this, please correct me.) Anyway, c ya!

Here's a quote from a pilot in a plane that was shot down by incendiary ammo: "I could smell powder smoke, hot and strong, but it didn't make me feel tough this time. It was from the cannon shells and incendiary bullets that had hit my machine...Bullets were going between my legs, and I remember seeing a bright flash of an incendiary bullet going past my leg into the gas tank...Then a little red tongue licked out inquiringly from under the gas tank in front of my feet and became a hot little bonfire in one corner of the cockpit."

Without such artillery support to cover the retreat, the battle losses were high, and the enemy fought fiercely with flesh and blood.

When this movie came out and I watched it in the cinema I happened to sit next to a veteran of this horrible war. I managed to ask him was this how it was in real life. He said "what the battle?" I said "no, how gruesome." He said something I will never forget.
He smiled and said "not even close bud. Not even close."

reznov similar thing happened to me when watching Saving Private Ryan the veteran told me the invaders were like butter to his MG42/MG34 he would switch from one to the other while his squad mate reloaded the other one his bunker held tons of ammo it took awhile for the invaders to get to him but he remembered how adrenaline packed he was when the first couple waves of invaders arrived.

A lot of early media didn't depict Banzai Charges correctly. Either depicted as just "the Japanese being idiots, committed to the Bushido with silent or soft yelling bayonet charge with zero gun fire, like a samurai charge" or just small squad charges. While not 100% wrong, THIS, THIS was the TRUE Banzai Charge. Hundreds, some times thousands, of men charging at you, all hyped up with rage, firing their guns. A true Banzai Charge wasn't just men running at you, it was a full on stampede of gun-totting maniacs who don't know the concept of surrender or death. Now, they rarely worked, and in WW2 they NEVER worked, but they left so many psychological scars that many men never wanted to go back.

two things i just learned
1: Strafing is a valid tactic when your issued a flamethrower
2: When its clearly a suicide charge fight like hell to keep your distance
bonus: dont bother playing dead unless youve got a mound of bodies to hide in because you will be shot *and* stabbed anyway
1: in those cirmumstances it would probably be wiser to just throw the flamerthrower and run, cause within seconds of using it you will have an execution squad of at least 100 japanese soldiers shooting at you.
2. Suicide charges are often conducted when the other side is superior in ranged combat, so yea obviously you should maintain you advantage.
bonus: well rather that than be captured by the japanese.

Damn bro really
The movie is great but these combat scenes are (extremely well made) Hollywood.
Battles in WW2 even with Banzai charges (not a name the Japanese ever used btw…) battles did not go this fast, were rarely this deadly and never this crammed. Outside of 1914-16 not even WW1 had so many soldiers simultaneously firing at such a small area.
Not to mention the extreme accuracy if each shot delivered here.
It is great hollywood action and it does very well portray dread of a battle but I would put this on a similar scale as saving private ryan‘s last big battle but worse than the Omaha beach scene
