I'm a former Army Medic. We learned about Desmond Doss during our training. There is no one I respect more in our line of work than Corporal Doss. To maintain his faith in humanity in a time when the world is out to get at each other's throats exemplifies the grace and mercy of his faith. RIP Doss. Your leadership and grace have inspired a generation like me to follow in your footsteps. Thank you for your service
I was stationed at Torii Station, Okinawa, Japan, 1997-2000. We visited Hacksaw Ridge. It was spooky and surreal. I felt an indescribable sadness standing before that cliff. The negative energy and vibes eminating from there were real.
My dad was a marine on Saipan and Tinian. He was there when the USS Indianapolis dropped off the atomic bomb. He was one of the last people who ever saw the Indianapolis. He also served in Korea.
This film did not hold back depicting the sheer carnage of the battle of Okinawa, the typhoon of steel. Desmond Doss sure earned his Medal of Honor all while holding true to his pacifist views.
I thought it interesting when they go to the theater, they thought they were watching a film about war, and didn't know the US ran 'news' propaganda reels before feature films..
When they made the movie they left out some details because they thought the audience wouldn't believe it actually happened, one was a Japanese soldier had a clear shot on Doss, but his rifle jammed 5 times and wouldn't shoot, you have to believe there is something watching over us after knowing that
This is one of my favorite War movies. The fact that Desmond’s children said Garfield’s performance was on point as their father gave more credibility for this incredible film
This year, on July, I met Andrew Garfield, who played Desmond Doss in this film, with my family members in comic con for a photo op. When my brother complimented him for his performance in this movie, Andrew's face lights up and thanked him.
I agree,their reaction was so sweet and real,I must admit that I am one of those who have become desensitized to V and D to a certain degree and I know it and I hate it.Desmond saved a lot more than 70 men but it was cut back just to make it more believable..I hope these two young Ladies don't lose their sensitivity as they get older.
My grandfather William L. Gadke was awarded the Silver Star retaking the city of Seoul in Korea. He was a Navy Corpman attached to the 1st Marine Division.
My husband is a retired combat medic and Doss is one of his biggest heroes. He met Doss when he was going through medic school and said it was the greatest honor he'd ever had. Doss was the definition of a hero. Wish we had more people like him. The world would be a much better place.
@@Whitespots-honor Chase your dreams. It takes a lot of courage, intelligence, compassion, and grit to be a good combat medic. I wish you luck and hope you're able to achieve your dreams. The world needs people like you.
@@zoevalk8645 wow thank you 🙏 I’ll remember you and doss that’s for sure never had someone say that about my dream job it was all ways “that nerve happened” or “you don’t got the guts”
They probably weren't watching a war movie on their date. That was probably a newsreel that was played with the movie (similar to how previews of other movies are played now).
Okinawa was not the first battle Doss was in. He had already proven himself to his unit and was well respected for his conduct under fire. While stationed on Okinawa I walked Hacksaw Ridge, the Sugar Loaf, and the Suicide Cliffs. This is torn ground. On a number of occasions, I observed an elderly American couple walking these battle fields and saw men point out fox holes they had dug and places friends had died. In the jungle you can still find ordinance and weapons of war.
I was on the USS Belleau-Wood LHA3 out of Sasebo Japan in 92-95. At the time. We would go to Okinawa to pick up and drop off Marines to and from deployment. I visited Hacksaw a few times. I was amazed at the still very visible signs of that battle. I can't imagine how brutal it was, and the struggle to survive that battle.
Ladies, he did not watch a movie about war on their first date... that were the news, as in the time before television, and before widely available radios, the cinema was a very important source of information, as before the movie, there usually came the news of the week... and it was the only way, to actually see what is going on in the world....
I never really understood about why Japanese soldiers would sometimes kill themselves either, but the movie The Last Samurai with Tom Cruise kind of explains it in a way that makes a little bit of sense.
Japanese soldiers (all mostly officers) committed seppuku as an action of self-resolve to restore their honor to themselves, country, and family especially when a battle was lost. It originates back to the ancient times of the samurai. Why the stomach? In the Shinto religion, the spirit resides in the stomach, and by seppuku, the spirit exits away from the human body.
In real life, Desmond Doss saved more men than the 75 he was credited with. He said there were around 50, the army said at least 100, so for his medal of honor citation they split the difference. Also, he fought in several long campaigns. The battle of Okinawa wasn’t their first combat so he saved soldiers before that, and he was wounded on 3 occasions, not just the one the movie showed. Japanese soldiers who caught on Hacksaw Ridge said they knew he was out there, and some said they spotted him more than once, but when they tried to shoot him their guns wouldn’t fire. God protects those who have strong faith
while i don't wish too discount faith or god it is far more likely that the soldiers in question chose not too fire on a medic and too avoid the consequences they blamed the rifle
Yeah as a Christian I consider it a nice sentiment but there were two conscientious objectors based on religion in the Vietnam war. Both of whom received the medal of honor in the same way Desmond did but both were gunned down in the process. @@lordorion5776
Hacksaw Ridge is one of the most realistic war movies created. We all see the enemy as monsters, until you stand in front of them ready to take their lives. Then you see a friend.
One thing they changed for the film was that by the time of Okinawa Doss had already been decorated for bravery in previous battles. So the men he was with might have thought he was a coward when he first joined, but by this time they knew that he wasn't.
This is maybe my favorite movie of all time. Somehow, the entire time I watched this video, all I could think was, "OMG, they're so adorable and sweet!" This made my entire week. I really needed this today. Thank you!
If I remember correctly, unofficially Desmond is credited with saving 150 soldiers, Desmond only counted 50 so they compromised on 75 which is the official credited number to this day
I cried all along. This is a very strong movie. So strong that, it made me quit drugs. I remember that the first time I watched it, I was very immersed but, when he asked God what to do, the answer shooked me. I had to pause it as my body began to cry so helplessly.

Funny thing is that, as a Spiderman actor, seeing his face made me think of the famous phrase "with great power come great responsibility" so, I added everything and then I knew, God put that movie on my path. This is a very important movie for myself. I'm glad you were able to enjoy it as much as I did. Love galore... Diego
While I'm not sure that scene is in any way accurate to real events, it is by far the most powerful in the movie and in my estimation the most powerful scene I've seen in any movie. It is so well done
@@RoninMurazaki-os8hy absolutely. It may not be "accurate" but it is definitely real. Most men have a moment like that in their life. Glad to hear the Lord helped you quit drugs! He did for me as well so I know that experience.
The fighting in the Pacific theater of the war was brutal. The Japanese considered it dishonorable to surrender and would fight to the last man, often as suicide attacks. A good movie from the Japanese point of view is Letters from Iwo Jima.
I recommend, if you haven't seen them already; the other films of Mel Gibson. Braveheart, Apocalypto, The Man Without a Face and The Passion of the Christ. All amazing, epic, tearjerkers. You two are becoming my favorite film reactors.
You missed mentioning We Were Soldiers. However, given that the setting is during the War in Vietnam, it could be a little awkward for the ladies to react to.
Although my father was a medic in the Korean War and also the Vietnam Way, he always carried either an M-1 carbine or a shotgun. After all, the enemy was not going to spare him since he was a medic.
@Serenity113 - Most European countries & US worked under Geneva Convention. A medic wasn't supposed to be shot at while treating / saving soldiers. But if a medic was firing a weapon, then they could be targeted like any other soldier.
Desmond's father was awarded the Silver Star in WW1. For an Enlisted Man then to be awarded such a high medal says something about him and probably the ONLY reason he was seen by General Musgrove. He probably remembered him. there are not many medals above the Silver Star. The Medal of Honor awarded to his son is one of them and the highest the US military has.
I know I've already commented on this video, but you ladies are the only patreon subscription that I've ever decided to get. And I've been a long time fan of channels like Markiplier, gmm, etc. I've never gotten a patreon for those channels, because there's a kind of disconnect. Like, they're super great people, but they aren't relatable in the way you two are. I've been really struggling with depression these past few weeks, and I think I've watched this video once a day since I stumbled on it. There's something truly wholesome and uplifting about you two. You're extremely humble and relatable to me, despite us being from different countries. So I honestly just want to say thank you for the content you put out, it truly helps people and entertains, and for just being such great humans❤
I saw this movie in the theaters with my Dad. He called it “Saving Private Ryan on crack” Extremely intense movie, but incredible that Desmond Doss survived and saved all those men.
One of the best War movies around! Great telling of the Desmond Dawes story but im sure the real events were much more miraculous then is told! A true Hero and a very humble man giving all the praise to his belief in god. Never judge a person until you get to know them! Great reaction girls and you are really watching some good but hard to watch movies. Congrats!! 🎉 I luv the emotions you have for all the characters.❤ This is one of many Mel Gibson movies. For more movies by MG may i recommend: The Patriot, Apocalypto, BraveHeart, Ransom and the Lethal Weapons series. Luv ya Movie Munchies!!❤💛
A Bridge Too Far (1977) is a MUST WATCH if you're doing WW2 films. It has so many great actors of the time but it's also just a wonderful story and film.
Doss caught TB while serving on Luzon, and had part of his rib cage and lung removed. His wife died as a result of a traffic accident. The man has been through so much
FANtastic reaction. Feel the emotion. I've seen this a couple of times. Heart wrenching every time. Keep reacting and sharing young ladies. One love 💞 from Texas USA. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
If you two girls need a break from intense war movies, try a Christmas or Holiday movie. A good one is "While You Were Sleeping". Your reactions will be fun!
The Japanese had annexed Okinawa a few decades earlier. The U.S. invaded to liberate Okinawa from the Empire of Japan and use it as a base to invade Japan. However, the fighting was so bloody that about half the population of Okinawa was killed in the fighting. The Pacific has a particularly dramatic episode about this fighting. After taking Okinawa, they would have invaded the home islands of Japan. However, Japan surrendered after the nuclear bombs were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, so the invasion never happened. Wounded troops receive a medal called a Purple Heart. Based on casualty estimates for the invasion of Japan, the U.S. had already ordered so many purple hearts to give to troops that they haven't run out yet in all the wars since.
Awe, God bless these two. Such sweet souls these two. Sadly, that seems to be a rarity in this day and age, so I absolutely love to see it and I truly love seeing it. This was awesome to watch. I will definitely watch more of their videos after watching them react to this movie.
OMG, this one almost destroyed Hella. You two have been through such an emotional rollercoaster with all the war movies. :) Maybe a lighter movie next time - A Christmas Story or Christmas Vacation. You two deserve some laughter.
I love watching these ladies as they are so adorable. As a man who almost was sent to Vietnam I am fascinated about their reactions to American media. Their reactions give me hope for their country. If I was a young man I would go there for a wife.
There is another movie based on a true story about WW 2. It is about a soldier that was captured by the Japanese. It is called (Unbroken), it is a good movie also.
Oh gosh war movies really hit me. They’re are people who want to fight and people who don’t want to fight, but ultimately it gets mixed in-between. All we can do is pray for they souls who died and I hope for a better future❤
I have so much respect for you two and I also think you are both beautiful. Your sensitivity to a terrible war have earned a sub from me. I cannot wait to watch more of your reactions.
On their date, they weren't watching a movie about a war. Back in those days, before home TV, an evening's movie program consisted of a weekly newsreel (which is where the war footage was), some cartoons, a short subject (maybe Flash Gordon, maybe The Three Stooges), and then a Feature. Sometimes two Features.
14:15 To answer your question: the military is widely stupid, so they always train them in the same stupid ways. A friend of mine that I was with when I went to Marine Corps Recruit Depot San Diego with had a suture on his lip, halfway up his cheek, which then led to the name Scarface, courtesy of one of my Drill Instructors. But it's mainly a combination of trying to prevent any more stupidity from happening with their own version of having fun because they most likely were told to be a Drill Sergeant. The military gets enough bad reputation from current personnel committing crimes, not upholding regulations, etc. These people willingly went into a military recruiting office, willingly signed paperwork that they were fully allowed to read over before signing, willingly decided that this is what they want, and are in turn willingly allowing stupid shit like this to happen to them. But this scene in particular is very tame when compared to real life. I've heard shit from some veterans when they went through their basic, I've seen some VERY awful things my own Drill Instructors have done to me and the rest of my platoon in boot camp, as well as others when I was still there all those years ago. Yelling in his face is normal for me, even though I still break down whenever someone does blast me, it's just that I've now experienced it in the most grandiose way possible: by joining the U.S. military lol.
I watched this movie for the first time this morning just so I could watch your review. Great review agaon and as the person below said, it's great to see reactions by people who aren't desensitized to the violence. Keep up the good work ladies, great reaction again.
Chi, the soldier throwing up before he climbed the cliff isn't because of the food. He is Afraid, and SCARED of DYING. That made him throw up. But his courage made him climb up right afterwards.
4:47 the father was suffering from severe PTSD from his experiences in WW1, and turned to alcohol as a means of coping, and became an alcoholic with predictable results. The actor also fairly represents that behavior at around the 9:50 mark of this video; he's likely already drunk at dinner; and describing what happened to his friend makes him relive the memories of it, which in real life can induce a state not dissimilar to a state of psychosis. 8:32 they weren't watching a movie about a war; that was a pre-movie propaganda piece that was meant to remind people of the war so that they would buy war bonds, enlist in the service, get a job at a war factory and so on. 12:30 I hate war, too. Every life lost in war is a life that was nurtured by another; cared for by others. But, unfortunately, war is an aspect of human nature which even time seems incapable of changing. 14:03 the Army does this to essentially serve 2 purposes: (1) to establish the power dynamic that the commanding officer is in charge, and (2) to instill in the soldier-to-be the the quality of following orders, regardless of how questionable they may seem. In this context (training); the absurdity is particularly purposeful; if the soldier can't be trusted to do something seemingly stupid in the controlled environment of training, then he can't be trusted to do something important in the battlefield when it will matter the most. 28:07 there was nothing wrong with the food; the guy was vomiting from stress and fear. 29:05 to think that in real life, real men who existed saw such horrors... and how they were able to function after that... is something that I _never_ want to experience. Your whole reaction to the battle segments is pretty much the same as mine was when I first saw this movie, and I am a man. 34:43 Hacksaw was part of the Battle of Okinawa. The Cornerstone of Peace monument has the names of 241, 686 people who died during the Battle of Okinawa, which means the number is probably higher than that.
I love this movie it reminds me of my grandpa who was a medic he got some medals for some stuff but his greatest achievement was doing an amputation and saving multiple people under heavy machine gun fire
I really like these girls. They make me happy. They have very compassionate hearts. I don’t care what religion they are I know they believe the same religion as me even though they may be Buddhist and I am a Christian they will be in paradise
in real life, After Doss was wounded, he didn't get his bible right away. In fact, he didn't get his bible until a few months after the war, it was sent by the men of the company that he served with.
Be careful with using movies as a history source. They only give you a certain view which also easily can be manipulated. If you find something interesting, always double check it with different sources
The soldier throwing up before the first climb, did so because he was afraid. True fear will grip your heart with fingers of ice and force every sick feeling and emotion you ever felt, to wash over you in an instant. Do not fear the man who vomits before battle. Fear the man who does not. And I couldnt help but notice, after the first night, you comment. "Oh my god im so tired of this." Not even 24 hours of war had passed. that war lasted 3 years
First They Killed My Father (film) true story Set in 1975, the film depicts 5-year-old Loung, who is forced to be trained as a child soldier while her siblings are sent to labor camps during the Khmer Rouge .
I absolutely love you two ladies reactions. They are always so honest. Now that you watched "Saving Private Ryan" and "Hacksaw Ridge" and "Full Metal Jacket," I thought I would share my thoughts with you two. War is horrible, no matter how people's opinions of it are. It is horrible. I think both of you ladies agree with that. As you can tell from these movies, none of these soldiers came home and shared their experiences with their loved ones, families or friends. Desmond's Father was so haunted by his time in World War 1 that he drank all the time. Survivor's Guilt, feeling gulity for surviving when others didn't. He never talked about what he did during World War 1 with his wife or kids. In Saving Private Ryan, Old Man Ryan at the end of the movie is at Captain Miller's gravestone talking to his wife. Ryan never talked about Capt Miller or what he did during World War 2 with his wife or kids. That is part of the duty of a soldier, living with the Ghosts and Horrors of War after the war is over. They DON'T TEACH YOU THAT in Basic Training Camp. Everyone deals with the memories and nightmares differently. Most dealt with it by suffering with it in silence. Now Soldiers from World War 2 came home, had families and their kids grew up and some of them became soldiers that went to Vietnam. All that those kids knew was that their fathers were War Heroes. Now America won World War 1, World War 2 and the Korean War. So of course they think that they would win in Vietnam. That is why they think that way. America always wins. So why would America not win in Vietnam. Remember in Full Metal Jacket they always talk about "John Wayne" the movie star. He made a lot of World War 2 movies. John Wayne always wins and he gets the girl by the end of the movie. This is what they grew up watching. You can even trace why America felt that they would win Vietnam all the way back to the Korean War, World War 2 and World War 1. Just some thoughts I had that I thought I'd share with you two since you now have seen Saving Private Ryan, Full Metal Jacket and Hacksaw Ridge. I am always looking forward to your next reaction videos. You ladies are doing great. Keep up the great work.
America didn't win World War 1 or World War 2, the allies did which America was a part of, America didn't enter WW2 until 1942 after Pearl Harbour. The Russians also played a big part in ending the war in Europe. Any country that goes to war thinks they are going to win, not just America, it would be pretty pointless otherwise

I recommend, if you haven't seen them already; the other films of Mel Gibson. Braveheart, Apocalypto, The Man Without a Face and The Passion of the Christ. All amazing, epic, tearjerkers. You two are becoming my favorite film reactors.
Historically Brave heart is ass Gravey... Its as Historically actuate as king Arthur and the round table.....❤
@@1001-p4q yeah, but cinematically it is the most well filmed, well acted kino ever
@@1001-p4q Doesn't make it a bad movie, i think they would probably enjoy it, not every movie needs to be historically accurate or even true
You missed mentioning We Were Soldiers. However, given that the setting is during the War in Vietnam, it could be a little awkward for the ladies to react to.
@@wesdog8975 That's also a good movie, but Mel didn't direct it. His friend Randall Wallace did.
Although my father was a medic in the Korean War and also the Vietnam Way, he always carried either an M-1 carbine or a shotgun. After all, the enemy was not going to spare him since he was a medic.
Ok I naively thought they weren't "allowed" to do that in war but it makes sense either side would.
"Its like Full Metal Jacket"
@Serenity113 - Most European countries & US worked under Geneva Convention. A medic wasn't supposed to be shot at while treating / saving soldiers. But if a medic was firing a weapon, then they could be targeted like any other soldier.
I've been waiting for this, thanks for posting it, and love the reaction, young ladies.
Happy you enjoy this!
Enjoyed it? I LOVED it - it was a real pleasure see see such touching and genuine reactions to one of my favorite movies.@@Movie.Munchies
Desmond's father was awarded the Silver Star in WW1. For an Enlisted Man then to be awarded such a high medal says something about him and probably the ONLY reason he was seen by General Musgrove. He probably remembered him. there are not many medals above the Silver Star. The Medal of Honor awarded to his son is one of them and the highest the US military has.
Theres something comforting about seeing too beautiful ladies being moved by the actions of men who fought in wars.
I know I've already commented on this video, but you ladies are the only patreon subscription that I've ever decided to get.
And I've been a long time fan of channels like Markiplier, gmm, etc.
I've never gotten a patreon for those channels, because there's a kind of disconnect.
Like, they're super great people, but they aren't relatable in the way you two are.
I've been really struggling with depression these past few weeks, and I think I've watched this video once a day since I stumbled on it.
There's something truly wholesome and uplifting about you two.
You're extremely humble and relatable to me, despite us being from different countries.
So I honestly just want to say thank you for the content you put out, it truly helps people and entertains, and for just being such great humans❤
Chi has such a comforting voice
The last 40 minutes of this video is one of the most entertaining things I've ever seen in my life
I saw this movie in the theaters with my Dad. He called it “Saving Private Ryan on crack” Extremely intense movie, but incredible that Desmond Doss survived and saved all those men.
One of the best War movies around! Great telling of the Desmond Dawes story but im sure the real events were much more miraculous then is told! A true Hero and a very humble man giving all the praise to his belief in god. Never judge a person until you get to know them! Great reaction girls and you are really watching some good but hard to watch movies. Congrats!! 🎉 I luv the emotions you have for all the characters.❤ This is one of many Mel Gibson movies. For more movies by MG may i recommend: The Patriot, Apocalypto, BraveHeart, Ransom and the Lethal Weapons series. Luv ya Movie Munchies!!❤💛
35:57 "oh my god! they're here! oh god." 👻😆
You should Google Desmond Doss, to really understand all that he did. A true hero story 😊
A Bridge Too Far (1977) is a MUST WATCH if you're doing WW2 films. It has so many great actors of the time but it's also just a wonderful story and film.
Doss caught TB while serving on Luzon, and had part of his rib cage and lung removed. His wife died as a result of a traffic accident. The man has been through so much
FANtastic reaction. Feel the emotion. I've seen this a couple of times. Heart wrenching every time. Keep reacting and sharing young ladies. One love 💞 from Texas USA. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
7:51 "that's a hint. your turn! your turn!" -hella&chi
🥰🥰🥰
Beautiful sentiments, ladies. Yes, each small act of kindness can add up. Thanks for the reminder of this simple, but powerful, truth. 😀✌🏼
If you two girls need a break from intense war movies, try a Christmas or Holiday movie. A good one is "While You Were Sleeping". Your reactions will be fun!
9:00 "careful guys. when you walk through the street." -chi
⚠️ always use the crosswalk guys! ⚠️
The Japanese had annexed Okinawa a few decades earlier. The U.S. invaded to liberate Okinawa from the Empire of Japan and use it as a base to invade Japan. However, the fighting was so bloody that about half the population of Okinawa was killed in the fighting.
The Pacific has a particularly dramatic episode about this fighting.
After taking Okinawa, they would have invaded the home islands of Japan. However, Japan surrendered after the nuclear bombs were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, so the invasion never happened. Wounded troops receive a medal called a Purple Heart. Based on casualty estimates for the invasion of Japan, the U.S. had already ordered so many purple hearts to give to troops that they haven't run out yet in all the wars since.
Great job, ladies. Love your reactions!
Awe, God bless these two. Such sweet souls these two. Sadly, that seems to be a rarity in this day and age, so I absolutely love to see it and I truly love seeing it. This was awesome to watch. I will definitely watch more of their videos after watching them react to this movie.
OMG, this one almost destroyed Hella. You two have been through such an emotional rollercoaster with all the war movies. :)
Maybe a lighter movie next time - A Christmas Story or Christmas Vacation. You two deserve some laughter.
Nominated for 6 Oscars including Best Picture, but won for Best Film Editing and Best Sound Editing.
I love watching these ladies as they are so adorable. As a man who almost was sent to Vietnam I am fascinated about their reactions to American media. Their reactions give me hope for their country. If I was a young man I would go there for a wife.
There is another movie based on a true story about WW 2. It is about a soldier that was captured by the Japanese. It is called (Unbroken), it is a good movie also.
I enjoy your reactions which has such good thoughts and ideas in your comments.....this is what makes your channel so engaging and rewarding to watch.
Oh gosh war movies really hit me. They’re are people who want to fight and people who don’t want to fight, but ultimately it gets mixed in-between. All we can do is pray for they souls who died and I hope for a better future❤
I have so much respect for you two and I also think you are both beautiful. Your sensitivity to a terrible war have earned a sub from me. I cannot wait to watch more of your reactions.
The 83-day Battle of Okinawa was the worst, most brutal battle in the Pacific Theater of World War II.
The thing with the knife in the beginning is a game called Chicken if you move your foot you lose, played it when I was a kid.
On their date, they weren't watching a movie about a war. Back in those days, before home TV, an evening's movie program consisted of a weekly newsreel (which is where the war footage was), some cartoons, a short subject (maybe Flash Gordon, maybe The Three Stooges), and then a Feature. Sometimes two Features.
ich kann es nur wiederholen, die beiden so niedlich, heiratet mich. So voller emotionen, das zeigt ihr herz, ich liebe es.
14:15 To answer your question: the military is widely stupid, so they always train them in the same stupid ways.
A friend of mine that I was with when I went to Marine Corps Recruit Depot San Diego with had a suture on his lip, halfway up his cheek, which then led to the name Scarface, courtesy of one of my Drill Instructors.
But it's mainly a combination of trying to prevent any more stupidity from happening with their own version of having fun because they most likely were told to be a Drill Sergeant. The military gets enough bad reputation from current personnel committing crimes, not upholding regulations, etc. These people willingly went into a military recruiting office, willingly signed paperwork that they were fully allowed to read over before signing, willingly decided that this is what they want, and are in turn willingly allowing stupid shit like this to happen to them.
But this scene in particular is very tame when compared to real life. I've heard shit from some veterans when they went through their basic, I've seen some VERY awful things my own Drill Instructors have done to me and the rest of my platoon in boot camp, as well as others when I was still there all those years ago. Yelling in his face is normal for me, even though I still break down whenever someone does blast me, it's just that I've now experienced it in the most grandiose way possible: by joining the U.S. military lol.
The guy won a Medal of Honour without firing a shot incredible. Great movie reaction lady's.
I watched this movie for the first time this morning just so I could watch your review. Great review agaon and as the person below said, it's great to see reactions by people who aren't desensitized to the violence. Keep up the good work ladies, great reaction again.
How about a Christmas movie next? No one should be crying through the Holidays.
We will don't worry ahaha
I love this reaction❣️You both really immersed in the story. Thank you for this 😊
Chi, the soldier throwing up before he climbed the cliff isn't because of the food. He is Afraid, and SCARED of DYING.
That made him throw up. But his courage made him climb up right afterwards.
You gals are knocking it out of the park .. keep up the great work.
Thanks so much!!
4:47 the father was suffering from severe PTSD from his experiences in WW1, and turned to alcohol as a means of coping, and became an alcoholic with predictable results. The actor also fairly represents that behavior at around the 9:50 mark of this video; he's likely already drunk at dinner; and describing what happened to his friend makes him relive the memories of it, which in real life can induce a state not dissimilar to a state of psychosis.
8:32 they weren't watching a movie about a war; that was a pre-movie propaganda piece that was meant to remind people of the war so that they would buy war bonds, enlist in the service, get a job at a war factory and so on.
12:30 I hate war, too. Every life lost in war is a life that was nurtured by another; cared for by others. But, unfortunately, war is an aspect of human nature which even time seems incapable of changing.
14:03 the Army does this to essentially serve 2 purposes: (1) to establish the power dynamic that the commanding officer is in charge, and (2) to instill in the soldier-to-be the the quality of following orders, regardless of how questionable they may seem. In this context (training); the absurdity is particularly purposeful; if the soldier can't be trusted to do something seemingly stupid in the controlled environment of training, then he can't be trusted to do something important in the battlefield when it will matter the most.
28:07 there was nothing wrong with the food; the guy was vomiting from stress and fear.
29:05 to think that in real life, real men who existed saw such horrors... and how they were able to function after that... is something that I _never_ want to experience. Your whole reaction to the battle segments is pretty much the same as mine was when I first saw this movie, and I am a man.
34:43 Hacksaw was part of the Battle of Okinawa. The Cornerstone of Peace monument has the names of 241, 686 people who died during the Battle of Okinawa, which means the number is probably higher than that.
I love this movie it reminds me of my grandpa who was a medic he got some medals for some stuff but his greatest achievement was doing an amputation and saving multiple people under heavy machine gun fire
You guys are so cute when you cry 😂 also I love this film I wish Desmond Doss was still alive
Great reaction thanks!
Love you girls I was crying with you n also love you’re reactions
I really like these girls. They make me happy. They have very compassionate hearts. I don’t care what religion they are I know they believe the same religion as me even though they may be Buddhist and I am a Christian they will be in paradise
I bet you think I’m a sob and she said yes you are bro that got me dead I love their reactions and love how they understood everything in the movie 😂
in real life, After Doss was wounded, he didn't get his bible right away. In fact, he didn't get his bible until a few months after the war, it was sent by the men of the company that he served with.
Be careful with using movies as a history source.
They only give you a certain view which also easily can be manipulated.
If you find something interesting, always double check it with different sources
We need people like him ✖️
We need to become like him ✔️
it’s hard to believe that desmond saved my great uncle in that war
They didn't show everything Doss did so that the audience doesn't disbelieve the movie! That's how amazing those acts were.
That beating in the barrack, s of Doss is called a blanket party.
he was wounded in the Philippines after the battle for Okinawa
My grandfather fought on that island. 7th infantry division. The "hourglass" division. Attu, Leyte, and Okinawa
Ladies this wasn't his end, but proof of his faith and humanity towards everyone.
They are so damn cute and funny and sweet I love their reaction
Thank you 🙏 ☺️
I was a combat medic and an ambulance attendant after. This movie is amazing
The soldier throwing up before the first climb, did so because he was afraid. True fear will grip your heart with fingers of ice and force every sick feeling and emotion you ever felt, to wash over you in an instant. Do not fear the man who vomits before battle. Fear the man who does not.
And I couldnt help but notice, after the first night, you comment. "Oh my god im so tired of this." Not even 24 hours of war had passed. that war lasted 3 years
First They Killed My Father (film) true story
Set in 1975, the film depicts 5-year-old Loung, who is forced to be trained as a child soldier while her siblings are sent to labor camps during the Khmer Rouge .
I absolutely love you two ladies reactions. They are always so honest.
Now that you watched "Saving Private Ryan" and "Hacksaw Ridge" and "Full Metal Jacket," I thought I would share my thoughts with you two.
War is horrible, no matter how people's opinions of it are. It is horrible. I think both of you ladies agree with that.
As you can tell from these movies, none of these soldiers came home and shared their experiences with their loved ones, families or friends.
Desmond's Father was so haunted by his time in World War 1 that he drank all the time.
Survivor's Guilt, feeling gulity for surviving when others didn't. He never talked about what he did during World War 1 with his wife or kids.
In Saving Private Ryan, Old Man Ryan at the end of the movie is at Captain Miller's gravestone talking to his wife.
Ryan never talked about Capt Miller or what he did during World War 2 with his wife or kids.
That is part of the duty of a soldier, living with the Ghosts and Horrors of War after the war is over.
They DON'T TEACH YOU THAT in Basic Training Camp.
Everyone deals with the memories and nightmares differently.
Most dealt with it by suffering with it in silence.
Now Soldiers from World War 2 came home, had families and their kids grew up and some of them became soldiers that went to Vietnam.
All that those kids knew was that their fathers were War Heroes.
Now America won World War 1, World War 2 and the Korean War. So of course they think that they would win in Vietnam.
That is why they think that way. America always wins. So why would America not win in Vietnam.
Remember in Full Metal Jacket they always talk about "John Wayne" the movie star. He made a lot of World War 2 movies.
John Wayne always wins and he gets the girl by the end of the movie. This is what they grew up watching.
You can even trace why America felt that they would win Vietnam all the way back to the Korean War, World War 2 and World War 1.
Just some thoughts I had that I thought I'd share with you two since you now have seen Saving Private Ryan, Full Metal Jacket and Hacksaw Ridge.
I am always looking forward to your next reaction videos. You ladies are doing great. Keep up the great work.
America didn't win World War 1 or World War 2, the allies did which America was a part of, America didn't enter WW2 until 1942 after Pearl Harbour. The Russians also played a big part in ending the war in Europe. Any country that goes to war thinks they are going to win, not just America, it would be pretty pointless otherwise
You two are the sweetest. I love watching movies with you!
Thank you girls ! I just ordered the film , because of your reaction to it !
I just subscribed on this video because their voices are soothing.
Slapping a grenade and kicking another one is beyond *_OUTSTANDING_*
Two pillows were hurt in this production.
yes yes hahaha
@@Movie.Munchies Edit: and one leg. Poor you...
