Yeah that soldier was brave trying to help pull him out in the first place. I wonder why he waited and chose him at random though? He seemed to have been there when others were taken first. Either way he saved the character’s life and I can only hope that everyone in the cage survived the fall and didn’t get crushed, impaled or die upon impact. Imagine dying in the crash. It’s honestly a sad way to go. I also am curious to know what they even do with the captured humans? I seen that they suck out our blood with that huge needle, but that literally grabs a person and pulls them inside. It seems to do it every 2-3 minutes too. Is it using us as fuel? Food for the aliens inside? I am very confused as to what they use the body for. I am curious to know.
2:58 soldier misses timing on his attempt to save this man. You can see him coming in from the right side of the frame but he doesn't manage to grab a hold of the guy who is getting pulled in.
That's actually kinda terrifying. To them, gathering up humans is no different than picking fruit. You didn't get taken like the rest of you family? Yeah. Because, you don't matter. They don't matter. You're not a person. You're a thing. And you're not worth acknowledging outside of my day job.
I love how it’s the soldier who was the first to show the courage to act since they are trained to perform under extreme circumstances. I also love how he immediately knows what Tom Cruise did when he spat out those pins and immediately told everybody to get down.
@@Stardustmiku Aye, they could've banded together to pull out as many people as they wanted, but eventually they would get tired and worn down by the relentless machine, piloted by beings that don't seem to need rest. Once they were good and tired it would have an easier time, and might be even harder on them for resisting. Besides, it might not even let them have a next time, it might have some feature to gas them to death or at least unconsciousness so they don't give any more trouble.
The terror, despair and hopelessness showcased by the victims in the cage is just chilling. No escape, no hope, living every single moment in fear of the next being the one where you're chosen by the machine for a fate that's bound to be horrendous.
It really drives home how evil the aliens are. It's just sick that they're willing to murder people by grinding them up into fertilizer, even little children.
@nayatifilsduvent9458 Animals eat animals too. Often in equally horrific ways. I once saw an owl grab a kitten and fly off with it, its fate no different than being sucked into an alien machine to be digested.
UFOs have been reported to grab folks with a tentacle, dragging them onboard... but their outcome isn't as swift. Jonathan Lovette is an air force sergeant who was seen taken in New Mexico, I believe. Story is on youtube.
John Williams did such a fantastic job at scoring the music to this film. The general rule of films like this is to keep the uncanny going, where the familiar suddenly becomes unfamiliar. The dissonant horns, the highest pitches of the piccolos, combined with the glissando strings, and the muted trumpets on a higher register, the off rhythmic, unsteady stabs with the trombones, all helps keep the audience far away from what they are used to hearing from the orchestra. Mr. Williams is a music legend.

And A Complaint I Have Is Why Did The People In The Cage Ray Was In Not Help The Person And The Other People In The Past Get Sucked Up Into The Fighting Machines? Was this a sense of (sniff sniff) oh no….it’s plot armor….
Wells wrote this story as a response to British Imperialism and what it had done to indigenous people in far away lands. The screaming and pleading of the captured (2:19 - 2:40) are parallel to those of the aboriginals of the New World and how would it feel if the shoe was on the other foot..... A quote from the text of War of the Worlds “We must remember what ruthless and utter destruction our own species has wrought, not only upon animals, such as vanished bison and the dodo, but upon its own inferior races. The Tasmanians . . . were entirely swept out of existence in a war of extermination waged by European immigrants, in the space if fifty years. Are we such apostles of mercy as to complain if the Martians warred in the same spirit?”
One of my favorite movie scenes ever. Strangers working together during incredible odds to save someone and themselves. Spielberg showed the good side and bad side of humans in this movie.
I've always thought this movie is the perfect example to use as an analogy towards how we treat 'lesser' animals or species in the world. We dont realize how screwed up it is until a higher intelligence decides to do the same to us.
I think this version of Spielberg tend to show us what you are saying. It show how cruel we are and what happened if superiors beings do the same with us. These aliens are also desesperate cause they need to terraform earth. If they can't, they know it's extinction for them.
As dark as this movie was, the part at 1:56 is hilarious. He throws the grenade at the Tripod and it just turned around and looked at him like "are you serious right now?"
RIP the guy that got pulled up. You see the soldier on the left side trying to get them but he doesn’t manage to get them because he was too slow to get him but good that he managed to save the dad.
people there are variations, and for the stupid I want to dedicate a song of lyrics... 🎶🖕🖕🎶. I was well satisfied, in short, the hunter or fighter is the one we see in almost the entire film from start to finish, its weapons are intense heat rays, and an Anti shield for almost everything. And horns and lights. The Harvester, is another variant of the invading machines, their appearances are near the end of the film. Its weapons are made up of a shield against almost everything, tentacles to catch prey and Cages and preparation tubes. The uberpod appears some penalties in the battle on the hill and there are 3. Its power is mysterious but most likely, it has the same weaponry as the fighter. shield, Rays of intense heat, and 5 lights and more gamer lights. It is the same, only for sure more powerful with the ability to command other tripods and a larger than average size (bear of tripods). That's it People :).
@@novatideno s*** right I mean seriously how in the hell did you even survive that impact of that tree I mean there ain't no way in hell anyone could have survived that f****** drop on the tree and it's crazy and the way the guy got picked up by the alien and brought back inside the machine I said you have been chosen the little aliens from toy story 2 the alien tentacle claw oh Gee who will go and who will stay
I’d imagine the force of the cage hitting any of the branches that would have done that would have been broken off just before that happened, either that or those people are just incredibly lucky
many people are saying that ray just got lucky that people desided to help him becouse they DID not help the guy before him, but if you see closely in the cage scene of the 2005 film, yous ee how the other people are ALSO triying to get him to NOT get grabbed
This is that movie that my dad watched and I was secretly watching being the couch when I was like 4 years old and it terrified me but I had no idea what movie it was and now I found it.
3:17 the way she disassociates is chilling. Imagine how long it’ll take humanity to recover from this. Millions dead and that’s only from the aliens. Lots more bound to come from famines, possible disease outbreaks, general homelessness, ect plus the years it’ll take to actually get any kind of society back together while everyone deals with the trauma of being slaughtered like industry animals
Not even millions dead. Billions! I always thought about how humanity would recover from this. It would be absolute chaos. It's worse than the snap from Infinity War even.
Fun Fact: The people who get taken into the ship are not ground up or killed. It's much worse: they are forced to watch every season of Two and a Half Men over and over for all eternity.
I always thought the most terrifying way to die would be to be sucked up in a butt hole shaped sucker attached to an alien pod with what looks like a butt worm coming out
I know, I've always wondered about those things, the ones in the original book are much more straightforward, they just pick them out of the cage, pin them to the ground and then use a tentacle with a syringe on the end to extract human blood, not for fertilizing, but for feeding, the red weed just sort of happens.
Yeah, that scene was an very weird and cringe like the sucker thing looked like anus from someone's behind, which was both gross and disgusting as well as disturbing to witness and see.
Yeah... that would be horrorfying and also the fact that it looks like an anus of some animal thing too. Like 🤮. I remember first seeing that thing and it really disturbed me in so many ways as a kid.
An odd thought struck me the other day, this may look horrifying to us because we are seeing ourselves being caged up by a foreign species, but is it any different to our treatment of the lesser creatures of this world or even our treatment of each other? I suppose that was the whole idea behind the original story, and Spielberg even though he changed a few things around did an excellent job of adapting the book and the message it conveyed. Edit: The other thing I find interesting is that there's all sorts of people in there, of different colours and backgrounds, for example that lady who was impotently screaming for help at 2:32 looked fairly well-to-do, at least in my interpretation, and of course the soldier, perhaps against another man he is deadly, but against these beings he is but an insect trying to sting them, an insect that can be swatted away or captured in a jar. In keeping with the original novel, perhaps this is Spielberg's way of conveying how things like class, race and military bearing would become utterly meaningless in such a situation. To these aliens it doesn't matter who we are, where we come from, how we were educated et cetera, to them we are nothing more than battery hens or wild animals.
@@Churros_are_Overrated I'd be a hippie alien going about in my colourful flower-power tripod freeing captured humans being all like "Stop killing the humans, man! They're an intelligent species, and this is their planet! Go free little fellas, nobody will hurt you now, I won't let them!"

@@satireisnotdead5804 scared like a wild animal that’s why we make earth a big ol zoo and give everyone their own land to grow some human civilizations themselves. Very profitable. Then you can just turn the really mean ones into the redweed.
"Fuck's sake man, stay still! I don't like it any more than you, but I got orders. The sarge will murder me if I don't fill my quota by the next earth-day."
When I first watched this movie, this scene gave me a weird feeling that I couldn't describe. Then when I rewatched Aliens, I got that exact same feeling from seeing the people in the Xeno nest being used as gestators for the chestbursters. It was then I realised that that feeling was the horror of humans being used as nothing more than a resource. Terrifying stuff.
I have so many questions about the film, but the one thing that was clear to me was that the author and directors really understood the negative side of human nature and were able to portray it so accurately. No matter how 'superior' a species thinks it is, they can still get taken out by the lowest and most basic.
This is my favorite scene in the movie, where Tom Cruise does everything to save his child, braving the sheer size of the tripod(one grenade throw!) when he's inside & people are screaming in helpless fear, Tom does the fearless Dad to the max, throws 2 grenades inside, kills the Martians & rescues his daughter! (As a Dad should!)
It’s realistic. It’s not a ufo just floating from nothing and randomly making people magically float into it. It actually has to grab them and put them somewhere and it has legs to keep it up. Amazing
What’s more sickening than the scene itself is the implication that thousands of friends, families, and children had already suffered that fate together. You can imagine some of the twisted scenarios that played out in those cages as people were pulled away by the tentacle.
@@RX-12I wouldn’t say evil, more like brutally efficient and incapable of showing empathy for their victims. Like an exterminator taking care of a cockroach infestation.
@@Little_deathWolfyou're an idiot. She is a child, who's already traumatized by all of that and people proceed fear differently. Some lose their ability to move.
@@Handsome_HatA bit too late cause I already got confirmation that it's a soldier. Another comment on another video confirmed it. You can't see it very well, but apparently if you look close you can see the guy that gets pulled seems to be wearing some sort of camouflage uniform.
When that basket/whatever-it-is lands in tree aftrer breaking free from the alien craft- i feel like several people wouldve been sliced open from branches
Bro this scene was so good ray could've been quicker Rachel was stupid. (btw u should delete some tripods because some keep spawn Killin military for hours)
Honestly, Ray deserves a medal of honor and a victoria's cross for being the first one to take down a Tripod and saving 2 dozen lives. And also pointing out the birds in the end of the movie
We had a case in Surrey British Columbia where a hot air balloon caught fire and as it was ascending, the passengers had to jump out of the basket. They would jump out of the basket at 30 ft and many were seriously injured. This looks like a height of 50 ft and in reality a lot of these people would be seriously seriously injured or die from the impact with the ground it doesn't take very much distance from the ground to die or seriously impact from a fall
Bro, the British can only have peace to other countries like USA, Russia, Germany, France, Spain, and South America, Brazil, Mexico, and Ukraine and Mongolian
Harvesters don't turn people to ash. Now if this was a Warrior Tripod (I think they call the warriors Uberpods now), it'd probably be pissed and do just that instead of caging him.

@@harbour2118 the ones near the cages probably say "pick one up at a time", haha. By the way, i found more alien writings on the tripod, except on top of the hood and near the cages.. by the way, can you imagine how many different types of tripods they've got on their planet? Like tri-headed tripod, octopus-pod, black smoke releasing tripods.. (in early versions of war of the worlds some of the machines release toxic black smoke) ^^^^^^
No sure, but it's a nice detail. Shows that the invaders are intelligences with a civilization, language. He'll probably a religion or any other concept that mirrors ours.
Hey lance, some people have been in the Military submission group for over a day now and they're complaining that they don't have the Military role yet.
The movie should’ve been about this solder. The horrors he witnessed and failed to stop, being the lone survivor of his unit only to be in a hopeless situation like this but still refusing to give up and watch civilians getting butchered by these monstrous aliens. After failing to save the first guy there, he immediately kicks into action when he knows what’s about to happen. Especially when it’s a father who’s about to be killed right in front of his daughter. And then he’s finally able to save someone. Then the man he saved spits out those grenade pins and blows the machine away
@satireisnotdead5804 except the HG Wells book, published in 1898, was set in Victorian England and centres around a journalist's observations and experiences. The film (commendable as it is) has little in common with the book.
They're grind, and others who have a good blood type are sucked by the machine. That's what WE Can see when they are on the basement. Also, people who are grind are needed for floral purpose on the red vine
Grinded and turned into the red stuff that you saw at the start of the video. Apparently, the aliens spread that stuff around the planet so that they can actually inhabit the planet.
They eat them and turn their blood into red weed and since the aliens came from mars their trying to make earth a second mars and red weed is basically red/orange mars color so it’s like terraforming
I like to think that the pressure of getting sucked in helped with that, like it was at a sport where either his hand or another part of his body gave him the extra weight he needed, either that or the force of the machine pulling him in made it easier.
Two thoughts on this. Could Ray Ferrier's arm have withstood the pressure of everyone pulling? Secondly, when the tripod fell, it most likely weighed over 100 tons easily. The impact with the ground would have knocked off a few people climbing down from the tree BUT. A great scene from a great movie
Kind of funny that I didn’t notice it before but as the poor guy gets pulled into the hole, there is another victim getting pulled in at the other cage too that has less people in it.

@user-xk7rb9qu8c so at the end of the movie, the narrator mentions, "by the toll of a billion deaths."

1:02 this scene should have been the poster of the movie
that sucking out the blood really traumatized me as a kid
I always thought the most terrifying way to die would be to be sucked up in a butt hole shaped sucker attached to an alien pod with what looks like a butt worm coming out
I know, I've always wondered about those things, the ones in the original book are much more straightforward, they just pick them out of the cage, pin them to the ground and then use a tentacle with a syringe on the end to extract human blood, not for fertilizing, but for feeding, the red weed just sort of happens.
Yeah, that scene was an very weird and cringe like the sucker thing looked like anus from someone's behind, which was both gross and disgusting as well as disturbing to witness and see.
@@Alex-ft1df ils étaient absorber par l anus et digéré
Yeah... that would be horrorfying and also the fact that it looks like an anus of some animal thing too. Like 🤮. I remember first seeing that thing and it really disturbed me in so many ways as a kid.
An odd thought struck me the other day, this may look horrifying to us because we are seeing ourselves being caged up by a foreign species, but is it any different to our treatment of the lesser creatures of this world or even our treatment of each other? I suppose that was the whole idea behind the original story, and Spielberg even though he changed a few things around did an excellent job of adapting the book and the message it conveyed.
Edit: The other thing I find interesting is that there's all sorts of people in there, of different colours and backgrounds, for example that lady who was impotently screaming for help at 2:32 looked fairly well-to-do, at least in my interpretation, and of course the soldier, perhaps against another man he is deadly, but against these beings he is but an insect trying to sting them, an insect that can be swatted away or captured in a jar. In keeping with the original novel, perhaps this is Spielberg's way of conveying how things like class, race and military bearing would become utterly meaningless in such a situation. To these aliens it doesn't matter who we are, where we come from, how we were educated et cetera, to them we are nothing more than battery hens or wild animals.
Lowkey if I was an alien I would absolutely gobble up those humans that was like a bag of popcorn to him made me hungry.
@@Churros_are_Overrated I'd be a hippie alien going about in my colourful flower-power tripod freeing captured humans being all like "Stop killing the humans, man! They're an intelligent species, and this is their planet! Go free little fellas, nobody will hurt you now, I won't let them!"

I can’t say the same for the other folks in the other cage that wasn’t released since they also were killed when the Tripod exploded
This entire movie scared me so bad in the theatre. The DVD still scared me when my family bought it, but I kept watching it for moments like this! :)
4:27
I love this part
Yep this is the first scene that ever traumatized me as a kid
Really mine was flooding bodies in the river with creepy music I mute the TV every time I come to that part
When I first watched this movie, this scene gave me a weird feeling that I couldn't describe. Then when I rewatched Aliens, I got that exact same feeling from seeing the people in the Xeno nest being used as gestators for the chestbursters. It was then I realised that that feeling was the horror of humans being used as nothing more than a resource. Terrifying stuff.
I have so many questions about the film, but the one thing that was clear to me was that the author and directors really understood the negative side of human nature and were able to portray it so accurately. No matter how 'superior' a species thinks it is, they can still get taken out by the lowest and most basic.
This is my favorite scene in the movie, where Tom Cruise does everything to save his child, braving the sheer size of the tripod(one grenade throw!) when he's inside & people are screaming in helpless fear, Tom does the fearless Dad to the max, throws 2 grenades inside, kills the Martians & rescues his daughter! (As a Dad should!)
It’s realistic. It’s not a ufo just floating from nothing and randomly making people magically float into it. It actually has to grab them and put them somewhere and it has legs to keep it up. Amazing
This is one of the best scenes of the film. I love how Ray takes down the alien pod.
This is one of the greatest films of all time. Beginning to end it is so amazing.
What’s more sickening than the scene itself is the implication that thousands of friends, families, and children had already suffered that fate together. You can imagine some of the twisted scenarios that played out in those cages as people were pulled away by the tentacle.
These aliens are really overlooked film villains in terms of how evil they are.
@@RX-12but did they view themselves as evil?
@@RX-12I wouldn’t say evil, more like brutally efficient and incapable of showing empathy for their victims. Like an exterminator taking care of a cockroach infestation.

@@Handsome_HatA bit too late cause I already got confirmation that it's a soldier. Another comment on another video confirmed it. You can't see it very well, but apparently if you look close you can see the guy that gets pulled seems to be wearing some sort of camouflage uniform.

I like how people tried to help the first guy who was taken.
Bro this scene was so good ray could've been quicker Rachel was stupid. (btw u should delete some tripods because some keep spawn Killin military for hours)

Honestly, Ray deserves a medal of honor and a victoria's cross for being the first one to take down a Tripod and saving 2 dozen lives.
And also pointing out the birds in the end of the movie
Nah can’t remember who but someone said the Japanese took out a few
@@Jambo_Neo I forgot about him, Robbins I think it was, the guy that was in the basement.
the real hero of this scene here is the soldier, he saved Ray and tried to save that guy who got pulled in
No he needs a Nobel peace prize
@@Jambo_Neowas it real tho? It could've been a rumor. Cause let's be real. How they would even know that?
I love that Soldier he knew what was coming when he saw those grenade pins😂😂
"Everybody, down!"
Okay, we'll get down.
We had a case in Surrey British Columbia where a hot air balloon caught fire and as it was ascending, the passengers had to jump out of the basket. They would jump out of the basket at 30 ft and many were seriously injured. This looks like a height of 50 ft and in reality a lot of these people would be seriously seriously injured or die from the impact with the ground it doesn't take very much distance from the ground to die or seriously impact from a fall
Bro, the British can only have peace to other countries like USA, Russia, Germany, France, Spain, and South America, Brazil, Mexico, and Ukraine and Mongolian
In retrospect, lucky for him the Tripod didn't respond to him throwing a grenade at it by just vaporizing him then and there.
I mean the harvesters (the tripod in this scene) don’t have heatrays to turn you into grandma ashes
Harvesters don't turn people to ash. Now if this was a Warrior Tripod (I think they call the warriors Uberpods now), it'd probably be pissed and do just that instead of caging him.
There are many issues with this film, but they did the tripods so incredibly well. All the scenes with the tripods are intense and creepy.
What issues?
@@ΘΘΝΘ-β5ξ you don't know?

I appreciate Rachel for saving her dad from the tripod, she got herself abducted to keep dad safe. And of course the dad did the same to save his kid.

1:55 tripod turns like “son of a-what do You want!?”
“Buddi I just cleaned this forcefield >:(“
Tripod: Ow! Oh yeah? I will kill you out Ray!
This movie was so good, when i first saw it i was enthralled
I saw this in theatres 19 years ago and was literally clenching my teeth from anxiety.
Wells wrote this story as a response to British Imperialism and what it had done to indigenous people in far away lands. The screaming and pleading of the captured (2:19 - 2:40) are parallel to those of the aboriginals of the New World and how would it feel if the shoe was on the other foot..... A quote from the text of War of the Worlds
“We must remember what ruthless and utter destruction our own species has wrought, not only upon animals, such as vanished bison and the dodo, but upon its own inferior races. The Tasmanians . . . were entirely swept out of existence in a war of extermination waged by European immigrants, in the space if fifty years. Are we such apostles of mercy as to complain if the Martians warred in the same spirit?”
Bro??
That's a very interesting thought that wells had, and I guess his point was, you reap what you sow.
@Tyler Underwood that's the spirit of the Book, yes
Ok so kill the martians first then

I found them; they are seen in the scene where the birds fly near the tripod's hood. You gotta pause at the right moment
I really wonder what they say, my guess is they are some sort of branding, serial number, or caution label
@@harbour2118 the ones near the cages probably say "pick one up at a time", haha.

The movie should’ve been about this solder. The horrors he witnessed and failed to stop, being the lone survivor of his unit only to be in a hopeless situation like this but still refusing to give up and watch civilians getting butchered by these monstrous aliens. After failing to save the first guy there, he immediately kicks into action when he knows what’s about to happen. Especially when it’s a father who’s about to be killed right in front of his daughter. And then he’s finally able to save someone. Then the man he saved spits out those grenade pins and blows the machine away
Nah
One of the best movies with Tom Cruise.
Bro they didn’t even try help that first person that got pulled into the thing
They tried. The soldier almost grabbed him but it was already too late.
yea
Lance when will u add moblie for tripods?
This movie fucks. Audiences and critics at the time didn’t appreciate enough.
Because none of them read the book, if they did, they'd realise that it plays out (almost) exactly as the film does.
@satireisnotdead5804 except the HG Wells book, published in 1898, was set in Victorian England and centres around a journalist's observations and experiences. The film (commendable as it is) has little in common with the book.
@@HoundPig2 WRONG.
Shut up matt
I like that soldier organising resistance.
so whats the context to when that guy got sucked into that fleshy thing? do they just get grinded up into a fine paste?
Their deleted an their blood is used to transform earth for their race but in the end of the film nature fights back against them the most not humans
They're grind, and others who have a good blood type are sucked by the machine. That's what WE Can see when they are on the basement. Also, people who are grind are needed for floral purpose on the red vine
Also the harvesters have a needle that can suck out the blood without eating them
The soundtrack is what made the whole thing perfect.
I always wondered what happened to those that are captured and taken inside?
Schlorp
Grinded and turned into the red stuff that you saw at the start of the video. Apparently, the aliens spread that stuff around the planet so that they can actually inhabit the planet.
What the aliens did not eat became plant food for the Red Weed.
They eat them and turn their blood into red weed and since the aliens came from mars their trying to make earth a second mars and red weed is basically red/orange mars color so it’s like terraforming
4:07 it would've been so much of a plot twist of the soldier accidentally let go of Ray's hand
although its impossible to pull grenade pins from your mouth, you would literally break your jaw, still a good scene.
I like to think that the pressure of getting sucked in helped with that, like it was at a sport where either his hand or another part of his body gave him the extra weight he needed, either that or the force of the machine pulling him in made it easier.
Two thoughts on this. Could Ray Ferrier's arm have withstood the pressure of everyone pulling? Secondly, when the tripod fell, it most likely weighed over 100 tons easily. The impact with the ground would have knocked off a few people climbing down from the tree
BUT. A great scene from a great movie
At 4:37 you can see an alien peeking out of the destroyed window
I just now saw
why does it looks like warrior’s alien (from uberpod)
Where?
Wait where
where?
Kind of funny that I didn’t notice it before but as the poor guy gets pulled into the hole, there is another victim getting pulled in at the other cage too that has less people in it.
