HACKSAW RIDGE (2016) FIRST TIME WATCHING * MOVIE REACTION
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 19 сен 2024
- Welcome to my channel! I am kicking off a brand new movie reaction watching Hacksaw Ridge for the first time. I always thought that war movies were not for me but this one has definitely changed my outlook. One of the best movies I have ever seen! I was not prepared for what I was about to watch, that is for sure!
Grab a snack and watch me react! What are you snackin on?

My father was a 18-year old german soldier fighting in Aachen against the allies. They had agreed with the Americans that medical personal would not be fired at nor taken prisoner. One day an american paramedic brought an wounded Geman to their lines. When they told him, he could back to his side he refused. The man said "I´m not going back, i surrender. I´ve seen enough for one lifetime!" Great and emotional reaction, by the way!
My grandfather's brother traded his rifle for the red cross, and fought up through Italy. He said the average german troop respected the cross, SS not so much.
Little did he know surrendering most likely means he would end up in the hands of the ss at a pow camp and see even more of the horrors of ww2.
@@MC_605 The german POW-camps weren´t run by the SS. The british and american POWs were treated according the Geneva Convention on Prisoners of War. The death rate of Americans held by Germany was 1.19% (held by Japan about 33%). So most likely this man will have survived his captivity.
I am a combat veteran ( Vietnam ) You can not possibly know the good you have just done.
Thank you for this and God bless you.
No sir, you are the one who deserves the praise. Welcome home and thank you for your service!
Good job. The actions of Desmond Doss are just amazing. Not a selfish bone in his body. He only cared about helping and saving the lives of others in the face of absolute horror. Amazing man.
Absolutely! Unbelievable man!
Desmond was in incredible human being. We need more of him. I recommend you watch these films:
13 hours the secret soldiers of Benghazi
The outpost
The hurt locker
American sniper
Patriots day
Zero dark thirty
We were soldiers
Saving private ryan
The thin red line
Platoon
Full metal jacket
More facts!
3. Doss was one of the guys who helped attach the cargo nets to the escarpment. He did this numerous times because the real Japanese soldiers, unlike those portrayed in the movie, knew that it was much harder for the US to get up there every day if they just CUT THE NETS DOWN WHEN THE AMERICANS WERE ASLEEP.
4. 75 is actually just a compromise. Doss claimed that he lowered 50 men or less, but the surviving members of his unit insisted it was well over a hundred, not including the men who weren't wounded badly enough to need a lower via rope bra and got themselves down, or were too disoriented to know which way to crawl. Gibson and the Doss family agreed to split the difference.
5. Doss earned the respect of his company while still in basic training, long before they entered the Pacific theater. He WAS resented at first, --- They thought that he got a free pass for Saturdays off, but as most of them were off-camp, Doss was taking double duties on Sundays among other things --- but that changed when they went on those 20 mile hikes in full gear. They had assumed that since he wasn't carrying weapons or ammo, he would have it much easier than everybody else....except it turned out to be the exact opposite. His medical gear was much, much heavier. At the end of the hikes, just about all of them had blisters on the soles of their feet, including Doss. However, he made his way through the entire company, treating their blisters before tending to his own. They called him "Preach"
6.) Gibson had to tone down the heroics. Even HE thought audiences wouldn't buy it because half of it was "over the top."
7.) Gibson got a 10 minute standing ovation when this film premiered.
Addendum - Doss was awarded SIXTEEN separate times for heroic actions on the battlefield, courage under fire, and exemplary conduct. One of them specifically for bitchslapping a live grenade. The movie text state that the Medal of Honor Doss received is America's highest award for courage under fire, and let me clarify that it takes an ACT OF CONGRESS to earn that and since its creation during the Civil War, less than 4000 people have been so honored. Doss is one of only THREE conscientious objectors to be awarded this.
Anyone who somehow thinks the US Government would give this to a coward is either being ignorant on purpose, or does not understand what the word "courage" means. Or both. I'm going to say both.
It's good to finally see you post again. Where's Devin?
@JaceBass fr?
Outstanding reaction video, full spectrum of emotions shown. 🇺🇸 👍 ❤ 🎥
The fact that this true account of Desmond of him being awarded the Medal of Honor is what makes this my favorite film as a two branch Veteran having served in wartime in the medical fields...... He was a true inspiration for the preservation of life for many of us in the medical fieldss of the military.
I appreciate your support and thank you for your service!
My dad had me when he was older. A ww2 hero, he fought the Japanese. He was shot through and through the spleen. He stuffed the holes and patched himself up on the battlefield and kept fighting until the battle was over. He said no way he was gonna wait for a medic or stretcher to get him off the battlefield. No way he was going to be caught by the Japanese. He told me a few stories of their brutality.
I'm glad end credits had the real Dawson talking about a couple of things in the movie. Because most of the time movies based on real life. Hollywood will take stuff out and add stuff in. I wish your boyfriend was watching with you. Because Hacksaw ridge is as much of a love💞 story as it is an action movie. Can't wait till your next reaction 👍👍.
I enjoyed their love story! ❤️
Of all the talented filmmakers there are in the world, only Mel Gibson has been blessed with such a sheer amount of talent that it is even enough to make a movie about a Christian that is celebrated even by atheists, anti-theists, Muslims and other people who otherwise don't really have anything to do with Christianity and don't want so see films about people with this faith.
If you're generally interrested in his work, I would recommend "Apocalypto" (2006), which is also an awesome Movie.
Fun Facts:
1. Desmond got married after the war, not during.
2. When Desmond descended from the ridge on the stretcher, a snipers bullet permanently disabled his arm.
Another fun fact. Hal Doss served in ww ii too. He was in the navy
Number 2 above is false.
@@americanswan Yes, it is false. You can clearly see him perfectly using both arms in the interview video clip at the end of the movie.
Your details are not true. Do more research.
Our military chaplains don't carry weapons either. Technically they aren't required to be in active battle but they usually do.
Also, there's no way his one bag would have enough bandages and morphine as he needed. I think it was a miracle that his supply didn't run out...
♥ Awarded two Bronze Stars and the Medal of Honor. Not bad credentials for a supposedly cowardly conscientious objector. 😉
Its so amazing they actually downplayed what he did to make it more believable. The Army thought he rescued 100, he thought maybe 50 (being the modest guy he is), so they settled on 75.
Look for a movie called “So Proudly We Hail”. It’s about the army nurse corp at the beginning of WWII. The scrip was based on the actual diaries of the nurses and had the head nurse as a consultant on the film. It leaves you with survivors guilt.
Awesome reaction! Thank you!
...and 4:40. I agree. It would have been better, to really have them at such a locale, instead of using a green screen, and a studio. Again, thank you for the video!
I watched this movie free on youtube, 3-4 times. I am not a warmonger, but it was beautiful.
Now I have to pay for it.
This is hands down my favorite movie, I thoroughly enjoyed your reaction! You got a new subscriber :)
Thank you so much!
Great movie!! Thanks 👍
A wonderful reaction. It seems as though you might have had some changes in your life. God bless you both. I am subscribed, and I look forward to more of your reactions. Be blessed. Thank you for sharing your time.
I can’t imagine the level of exhaustion…. PLUS he was a vegetarian and just receiving regular food. So he was likely very malnourished.. and actually at one point he got dysentery from coconuts - so WORSE than malnourished
Good to see the channel lives on.. Thought y’all broke up😂
This is one of those movies that if you didn’t know it was based on a true story you would never believe it. Truly incredible story, incredible film.
His heroism was actually downplayed in this movie, bc the full scope would seem too unbelievable
Andrew Garfield was phenomenal and fantastic in this role and you should watch more of his movies too. Also hes the best spider man as well;)
It is hard to top HACKSAW RIDGE. It is one of my top ten favorites too. But if you are interested in seeing some other, inspiring, emotionally charged, true story war movies that are comparable to it in terms sheer heroism, below are 5 that, I think, will also blow you away.
BRAVEHEART
GLORY
SERGEANT YORK
SPARTACUS
WE WERE SOLDIERS
And to that list I would also add 3 more true stories: JFK, SCHINDLER'S LIST and AMISTAD. They are not war movies but they are just as powerful.
Thank you!!
Mel Gibson actually downplayed his story. He said that he made it historically accurate no one would believe it.
1 of the most important movies ever🚩🌀
It may interest you to know that it took nearly 9hours to find his bible and his brothers in arms would not rest till they found it other battalions joined in the search because of what he did for them all. Doss was also at the time of hacksaw ridge had tuberculosis to which he later lost a lung so he had to stiffle his coughing so as not to give away his location while finding injured soldiers. As u also saw he was a vegetarian but due to the food mainly consisting of meat he was surviving on crackers and water so he was so weak when all this happened but by the grace of God he was able to do what he did. According to company records it was around 150 that he saved including Japanese soldiers but he was a very humble man and asked for just 50 when he recieved his medal of honour so they compromised and said 75. He also received the bronze star for lives he saved in previous battles in the Pacific as already seen action before hacksaw ridge, so the actual number of lives he saved was around 300. His father also received the bronze star for lives he saved in WW1 too but tragically he was unable to save his friends.
Mel Gibson had to leave so much out of his story as there is so much more but it was thought nobody would believe any of it if they included it all. I would definitely recommend his autobiography as his story is absolutely mind blowing, honestly if u are going to read or listen to a autobiography I would recommend his. Such an amazing human being.
Thank you for sharing!! I will definitely look into this! Would love to learn more!
@snackandreact you're v welcome , am positive that you will ❤ it. Happy reading . ❤ ur reactions btw. Thank you u for the 😂and the 😢.
Great movie. Great reaction. How about reacting to Man on Fire; Equalizer 1 & 2, Remember the Titans, Staring, Denzel Washington. Allso the Green Mile; & Shawshank Redemption.
Great to see you again!!! You choose a great movie , you should react to Fury as well another great war movie with Brad Pitt.👍
Thanks for the recommendation!
No offense as I was a soldier deployed to Iraq and really have trouble explaining to people what war fear is, how to embrace it and do your duty. One has to almost completely surrender that sympathetic element to one's demeanor, you must believe that your mission is the moral one over the convictions of the enemy. SO imagine coming back home trying to fit right back in when most people are so carefree and do not know the true nature of existence on planet Earth, where evil STILL exists. So when you first began with your video if you watch it again, you have this wonderful yet naive excitement to watch the movie, looking for your snack and so on. Again, not an insult, just the cushy soft underbelly of life in a developed world where freedoms are really taken for granted (while half the rest of hte world fights for clean drinking water for example). When I saw your opening my immediate thought was, "wow, this girl is in for a shocker! I'm sure her tasty treat will be relegated to the side as the severity of this story comes into play...).
Your reaction however was PERFECT! This is why I bother watching reactions to these true life storied films, because one should see a mostly innocent carefree reaction turn into tears, agony and sympathy for what true human sacrifice looks like.
Good job! Enjoy your channel.
I’m not sure how I missed your comment, however I first would like to say thank you for your service. I appreciate you taking them time to watch and comment on my reaction. This was a movie that I don’t think I will ever forget. I can’t imagine what any of you had to deal with but I am thankful for all that have and will serve. I appreciate you!
Great reaction to a great movie!
Mel Gibson movies are great and extremely violent and beautiful. Most are based on true events or true story. This, passion of the Christ, Braveheart, Once we were Soldiers, but not Blackhawk Down tho some people think so. His main writer/producer is a descendant of William Wallace!😮😮😮 I would put this up there with 13 hours, Lone Survivor, once we were Soldiers, Blackhawk Down, Fury, Dunkirk,1917, American Sniper, hamburger Hill. Maybe the greatest soldier ever lived, this guy or Roy Benevides. In Vietnam, the Lazarus Soldier! I met him once in the early 90s when I was stationed at Bragg. Watch his video here, Roy Benevides Lazarus Soldier! U can also watch videos here of Sgt York, Audey Murphy, Chris Kyle, Carlos Hathcock.
you should check out We Were Soldiers with mel gibson fantastic movie about a battle in vietnam
You too 😇🙏👍🌼🌻love your reaction 💖
Thank you!
awesome reaction to a great movie
Thanks!!
Nobody wanted flamethrower duty; You knew you were most likely going to suffer the same agonizing death you had to inflict on others. imagine living your last moments surrounded by that smell and heat, causing a living hell on earth that ultimately engulfs yourself... Horrifying...
So this film was an experience!
When you’re ready to come back around for another war movie.
“Born on the Fourth of July” (1989)
A great film with some powerful performances.
Agreed! I’m going to need some time to recover! Thanks for the recommendation!
@@snackandreact A great movie I’d recommend that I think you’d really enjoy.
Something set in the same time period, different location.
Much more lighthearted and comedic movie also based on a true story.
“A League of Their Own” (1992)
I really think you’d love this movie and it’d be a nice pallet cleanser after this very heavy powerful film.
Hey Steph.
Not seen much of you about, i hope you're ok hun?
Always here if you need a chat! ❤
Great reaction as allways
Just checking, is this the only movie reaction on this channel? I went through your list of videos and it looks like it to me.
Yes it is. Devin has a reaction channel with movies (some couple reactions) but this is the only solo one that I’ve done.
A more accurate depiction of Desmond Doss is a documentary movie called the conscientious objector where he is interviewed throughout the whole documentary and so are the people he served with
It’s on my list to watch!
A couple movie recommendations
Only the Brave
The Monuments Men
Second Hand Lions
Taking Chance
I'm sipping on ice water right now... I've covid right now and am in the stage where I can't smell or taste anything, so there's no point in anything else right now. Maybe some tea later.
Thanks for watching and hope you feel better soon!
thanks for blessing my eyes with your beauty!
🤜🤛✌🙏 Alvin York is another similar situation but he actually ended up picking up a gun but an incredible story if you're interested
Hugo Weaving is really good at playing a broken old man from WWI. Didn’t he play that in Pearl Harbour?
Edit…. No no he didn’t play that in Pearl Harbour 😶
Thanks for the great reaction!
Thanks for watching!
there is other true war stories like
sargent york
to hell and back staring audie murphy as him self the youngest man to receive every war medals even the us highest medal after WW2
fighting Sullivan's
band of brothers
My grandad lied about his age to fight in WW2
All to fight for his country! Amazing man!
Thank you. He was 15 when he enlisted
Great Reaction Video.......
Lone survivor.
New to the channel… you did a great job on the reaction… I’m a movie buff and have seen over 1000 movies. I think you should get into doing more movie reactions. Some movies I would recommend you do next are The Green Mile….The Shawshank Redemption….Manhunter…. And I have more if you need help… thanks.
I appreciate it!! That’s the plan but life got a hold of me the past few months!
@@snackandreact hope all is well and stay positive and everything will workout in the end.
@@samsakharia3382 thank you!! I just have excuses because I am busy with my kiddos. Life is great! I will be back soon!
You should react to Big Jay oakerson
Guilt
God is good
hey, just subscribed! got hooked on your bill burr videos! but....ummm....you guys seems to have slowed down on the videos..*hint* *hint*
If your into Mel Gibson movies, try we were soldiers
This movie shows the inhumanity and humanity of humankind.
This was only a small part of the things he did... In other theaters he distinguished himself over and over... Read about him...
Looks like Devin let you keep the RUclips gear. Since you didn't mention anything about him we're gonna assume he's living at the local gym. Olympic bench stations are quite comfortable. Especially the adjustable ones. Sweat towels can make a pretty good blankie.
Hello Smiler.
Where’ve you been? Where’s D. ? 🇬🇧.
Desmond dorothy forever 🌀🚩💙🖤✝🕉jai siyaram
❤️
How's it going?
Can I recommend the movie Tarzan The Fearless? It can be found on RUclips
You need to watch Band Of Brothers.
👏👏👏👏☝️💪
Hey Stephanie!
So wonderful to see you hun, i've not seen you for a while!
You look so beautiful as always and your eyes and that smile have my attention, lol! ;)
Seeing you tear up while watching this made me want to hug you.
A great movie although it has been some time since i last saw it.
It really does get you emotionally attached to the characters which all movies should yet many today fail!
A great reaction as always.
Have a wonderful day cute country girl, take care hun!
Great as always. You should react to Mel Brooks "Blazing Saddle" or "History of the World part 1"
Mel Gibson movies will rip your heart out, but always point to Faith in God!
