the tracking shots, the blood effects, the garbled English on the police radios, the panic in a cop's voice. this is how you make real impacts on a lower budget show
Yes, it’s very reminiscent of footage from Lower Manhattan on September 11th. Sirens blaring from all around, coming & going; radios chirping & crackling; booming & banging as beams buckle then break; windows smashing, shit exploding, shit falling out of the sky; bodies raining down; people screaming, running to & fro; Cops, Paramedics, & Firemen coming from every which way; helicopter blades chopping above. All a similar cacophony of chaos, being even more intense, for unfortunately it was not just a television show.
Could have done without the cliche “we’re here to help you so put the gun down” notion. Like it’s a school shooting people are already dead and they’ve been shooting back at you and your partner. The chances that they’re just going to give up quietly at this point is extremely unlikely lol
@@user-eh5qs9es1e SWAT team do not usually have time to respond to active shooters. they usually respond to hostage situations, bomb threats etc. active shooters need patrol officers because of their availability
Only some of the biggest cities have full-time swat teams, most cities have part time swat teams. Basically they are normal patrol units with their gear in their trunks. Also, SWAT teams take a long time to mobilize and by then it's probably been dealt with by patrol officers, since they all flock to the scene and run in before swat gets there. It's also worth to take into account this seems to be an older show, with an older time period, or simply it's unrealistic as they do not have patrol rifles.
@@user-eh5qs9es1e At 13:30 that's what they're wondering. This scene is practically in real time and IIRC someone on the radio says SWAT is held up in traffic.
I recall the responders from the Pulse Nightclub shooting mentioning that the worst/saddest thing about being on the scene right after a shooting are all the cell phones constantly going off on the dead bodies from people trying to make sure their loved ones are okay.
That was fucking sad, and the fact this happened irl is even more fucking sad and all of the kids didnt even got a chance to be their dream job, and their moms are probably crying after they heared that their one or fav son got killed bc of this
What makes this harder to watch is that this is a situation that can and has happened in real-life, and it's tragic. This scene does a wonderful job capturing the horror of school shootings.
If an incident like this occurred where a shooter was allowed to basically galavant their way around a school, the responding police would be lambasted to hell and back. Oh wait…
@@brandonwilliams6221 It has, and it was catastrophic and tragic. 😬😬😬 The Uvalde "police officers" failed the children and their families at every level. 😞😓
The scream at 26:34 Witnessing the murder of an unarmed and innocent child. Just hearing the scream is heartbreaking and disturbing. “No parent should ever have to bury their child.” - King Theoden
same here. popped up in my recommended and i was just like, huh seems interesting ill watch. i thought it was gonna be one of those short films people do but the quality was too good to be. all in all very good show it seems like so ill have to give it a watch fr
The anti-climatic ending was perfect. There's no round of applause and dramatic music as he "saves the day". Just the realization that it's over and the magnitude of what happened. In situations like this, those cops don't go home feeling like heroes. They go home knowing they will never be the same, and not in a good way
Yeah for real. No heroes or victory whatsoever in this situation. I mean yeah it’s great that they got the guy, but the aftermath of trauma and eternal sadness of something so devastating will haunt everyone forever. I absolutely couldn’t fathom being in this situation, can’t imagine how terrifying that must be.
@@blindsidexv6244 not to mention, although he saved plenty of kids right there and then, he had to kill a kid in order to do it. Cops rarely kill without getting ptsd in general, imagine what it’d do to your psyche to kill someone who isn’t even 18-19
the way he stops and stares at the corpse before calling it in that they got him, makes it seem like the shooter was his brother or nephew or something
one of my family members works at a clinic and they took a class on what to do if there's ever an active shooter. The first thing that they said was, "The cops won't stop and help you because if they help you, other people might die instead so the only thing they really can do is toss you a tourniquet and ask where the shooter went.".
@GlorifiedIdiot-lg8wh It's literally the standard practice in "Active Threat" scenarios for the first responding cops to IMMEDIATELY chase and engage the threat. "Stop the threat, stop the death" Those cops were absolute holehearted cowards.
This kid wit the headphones around the 16:20 ish mark really pissed me off. The whole shooting scene was great but the fucking clueless kid with headphones. How does that work? he avoided all the places that were affected by the gunshots or somthing? The headphones might have blocked out the gunshots, but I am sure he heard screaming...
@@ranimdude Well if the gunshots were heard that loudly outside everyone inside should have heard them. This scene seems to be based in the early 2000s ( 1999-2004ish ) so i dont think bro has the sound canceling headset. Just being picky tho I think this scene did school shootings much better than most Hollywood. I am glad they did not chuck a music track over this as well.
I like how the police are depicted accurately by being scared of the situation but still doing the job. Too many cops in too many shows/movies are billy badass with no realistic human emotion. That isn’t the case with this scene, that’s what makes the scene captivating
No matter how cliche some of the lines are, the fact that almost all the cops seem very scared of going in the school is super realistic, and I like that. Pretty good work here.
They convey the fear but also the confusion. They don’t know the layout of the school, they don’t know how many shooters, barely what the shooter looks like, what he has in his arsenal etc. Which of course adds to the fear. This was very well done, almost to well done. It was hard to watch.
Since 1989, based on results obtained at another prior similiar shooting situation, police in Montreal and Canada learned quickly that the first officers arriving at any school, mall, large building, etc., shooting scene MUST enter the scene. Even at great risk to themselves, and without waiting for backup. This has been shown and proven to save many other lives. Delay is fatal. With notable tragic exceptions, I hope this is current police procedure in Canada and the United States.
Unfortunately in the U.S it's been long ruled that law enforcement is allowed to prioritize their own safety over civilians. In some high profile shootings and smaller ones as well, police protocol has been to set up outside the school and amass tons of units before even making a entrance. This happens even if Swat is on scene. I've personally been there for a shooting. During the time the police took to set up, the shooter escaped, took a car and drove a state over. They waited 4 hours to sweep the school for the shooter. In simple words. U.S police would rather wait for the shooter to run out of ammo than confront one.
Minus Uvalde. They let them get murdered & even listened to the whole thing without intervening at all!! (until the shooter killed himself & 15+ children were dead of course)
well it’s actually not unrealistic because it’s set in canada and our cops do their jobs (for the most part lol). also, this episode was based on an actual shooting that happened in montreal in 2006, and the large majority of it was accurate.
Am not an american, can you elaborate? I mean i've seen something about warren v DC, but it still can't grasp the concept that US cop legally doesnt have to protect the citizen from harm? Correct me if im wrong tho.
@@mulder801 You are correct. In the US a police officer legally does not need to endanger themselves to protect others, as a result of a supreme court decision. I think, could be wrong, that a state law could be passed to fix that on a state level, but certainly a federal for the nation as a whole. Or the court can reverse the decision, if a case came before them again. Counties or cities might be able to set policy for that too, but I'm even less sure about that than the state part (I've not read the full decision and i don't particularly want to go reading a legal document rn, so I am not sure how far reaching it is).
I just can't see an overwhelming police presence outside only sending in teams of 1 and 2 cops at a time, not sending in paramedics to get a wounded cop, a partner goading her partner Into taking a shot and then getting him shot, Kids just walking around 20 minutes into a gun Battle oblivious as to what's going on.. Entertaining yes but realistic no
This gotta be the most complex school layout ever. My school was legit one long ass hallway with smaller hallways shooting off to the sides for each subject
I don’t normally comment on RUclips videos but the kid laying down at the entrance of the auditorium at 9:47 is me!! I sat there for 13 hours straight, no joke! Truly one of the coolest / scariest thing I’ve been apart of in my life. Not going to lie, the echo of the shots in the auditorium had my head buzzing by the end of the day… but what a day it was! It truly put me into the unfortunate perspective of what real life school shootings look / sound like. Absolute terror all around. Shooting this scene in one shot took us all day, 28 min is a longgg time without any interruptions!! For the people who are curious, this was filmed in Montreal, Québec :) ! Cheer’s and have a great day !
It still weirds me out, this was filmed in my high school. Yes its an actual school, not a set. I recognize every hallways, every room and where the stairs are.
from a filmmaking perspective, this is one of the best choreographed one-take scenes I've ever seen. from a human perspective, this is one of the most powerful scenes I've ever seen.
Jesus christ this was terrifying. The gunshots literally had me jumping in my seat. They nailed both the visuals and the sound design. No music. No unrealistic gun sounds. Just raw terror.
the gun sounds were kinda unrealistic tbh, cuz out of a short barreled 5.56 rifle like that the kid and anyone within a 2 room radius would be deafened but i digress, its a school shooting so this comment is in poor taste anyway
One of the best single shots in film history. Seriously. 12 minutes, through multiple rooms with tons of extras, gunfire, dead and wounded extras, inside and out, multiple characters. TOP NOTCH DIRECTION and execution
Yes the quality is way too high. It's realistic to that extend. Music is used correctly. The operative was depicted to a certain degree of accuracy where many units where barring the area simultaneously. It's not about how big is your budget but how good is your script writer, your writers and the director. That makes the true difference.
To think these actors can perform such realistic scenes like these and then turn around and do a show like Letterkenny is nothing short of amazing talent.
The acting really is great, but whoever put this scene together is smoking some gnarly shit. That shooter would have been dead a dozen times over in the USA or Canada.
this is fantastic...it gives us a real insight to what actually happens during a shooting event, the police , while diligent in their duties are confused as to where everything is happening and showing their real feelings...i know its a drama but its cutting edge close to the bone realistic
"Put the gun down you're surrounded" was said legitimately like 7 times and the guy just casually walked into the next room and escaped into a whole additional labyrinth.
@@idontknownms We call this a show ... maybe because IT'S A SHOW. You know, TV. Bewb tube. Broadcast. It's like theater, but recorded and cut to fit into a time slot and broadcast to the world. Like a musical, but instead of stage left and right you have boom operators and sound technicians, and no 30 second costume changes. It's a TV show. Unless you're asking for the NAME of the show.. I don't have a clue. I just know this is one very long shot with no cuts, brilliant acting/choreography, and the extras finish a scene, quickly go to the next area, get in places, and do it again. It's MASTERFUL.
"where are you?" "i dont fucking know!" really shows how terrifying this is. the only officer who would know the layout of the school is the resource officer, which I don't think they have in Canada.
My school had like 2000 students and we never had one, at least not that I know of. Although our school layout was very easy to navigate so I don’t think we would of needed one lol
What I love the most about this is the fact the officers, who are trained to do this, are obviously panicked and terrified of a few teenagers with guns. Anything could happen, to them or to the students inside. They breathe hard, reassure themselves, and move cautiously. Despite their fear, they move in no matter what. Bravery isn’t men just being stoic, but also being very scared yet still doing their jobs.
yeah and this is why i hate people saying all cops are bad with a job in all 50 states there wil be bad people but that dosen tmake the whole wrong my least favrite part of this is that they dont have rifles of their own they are going agest a teenager with a rifel with pistols 9mm by the looks this is why they need high caliber wepons
Truly terrifying. I can't believe this isn't some crazy horror movie sequence but it's a real thing that happens in school hundreds of times every year. Its horrible.
Hundreds of times? Lmao. You're reading bullshit stats then. This happens very, very rarely. Most 'school shootings' occur in general vicinity of the school and not during the day.
I feel terrible for the people who are in school shootings, I cant even explain how bad I feel and I can't imagine being in that kind of situation. I hope everyone who has experienced it recovers from it one day.
When my school got hit the cop didnt even leave the break room. Football coach cornered the shooter, and they fired him for it. Including hush money so they could report 0 violent incedents for the year.
This is how you write, direct, edit, and act a scene in a way that's perfect. Close to no music or jump cuts to take you out of it. It isn't real, yet it's absolutely terrifying and gut-wrenching. I seriously hope this show won awards
The real lesson to be learned here, whether you like it or not, is that you are your own first responder and must be an active participant in your own rescue. Help will not be there in time to be of any benefit to you.
Just got this recommended ib my feed, how the heck is this show and specifically this episode not very famous and well-known? Such a moving and terrifying episode. Well done.
I know it sounds bad, but this is the kind of stuff that actually makes an impact on people. You can play videos all you want about an attacker who doesn't seriously fight back, but the blood, chaos, and fear make this more impactful than actual in-school warnings.
They nailed the incompetence of police as well lol. No once can prepare for this but making police train longer than 6 months would certainly help, in my opinion.
@@ReaperOnRepo Incompetence? Training is much different from actual gunfire from an actual gun. No one ever knows how someone will actually react when in these kind of situations, no matter how much training you receive. Simply because you feel you'd do a lot better does not mean you really will.
@@ReaperOnRepo from what I know, at least with Canadian police forces like RCMP, public shooters are really the only scenario where law enforcement are told there lives are secondary, they are told don’t take cover, if you see something like a pipe bomb on the floor you just run over it and pray it doesn’t explode, they won’t stop for injured people, and if it take an entire detachment of officers to die to eliminate the threat (whether it is killing them or an arrest) then that is what it will take. From the get go they are told what is at stake, most officers in training will understand what it means when “your life is a secondary priority”, soldiers who switched to police have even said it’s more intense than any training they go through (maybe except for soldiers who went through special forces training), so at least for RCMP by the time they get to the school or building or wherever the shooter is it will be over in minutes, and honestly once the shooter knows the police are there they will end up killing themselves.
10/10 acting and 10/10 cameraworks. Almost no cuts at all at this scene, really made us the viewers feel the tension and terrifying situations. Simply amazing.
I’m sure it’s been said several times but for anyone wanting to know why they very rarely stopped to render aid, as a law enforcement officer, in a situation with an active shooter, we’re trained that regardless of the casualties, our #1 goal is to neutralize the threat. We are not to stop and render aid for anyone as long as there is actively a threat present. The scene where the officer picks the girl up and takes her outside is a completely rare event. He did what some would do. He saved a life. Absolutely amazing job by the directors while making this scene. Absolutely incredible.
Which is the saddest part of all of this to me. Not the fact that they don't stop but the fact that most of the cops didn't do anything to stop the threat. Most waited outside or just disappeared, the two main guys so many chances to end the threat but didn't because they either didn't shoot or took to long
@@ninjkitywarlock6337 if there weren't any cops outside maybe the shooter could've slipped outside and shot everyone else also, but some the cops just standing around though
THAT is a lot of generalization. It's ONLY valid for the FIRST on-scene officers or whatever the assault team is made of. It's a procedure that the police calls "Rapid Deployment" in the USA. And it's a lot like in the infantry. You move on and let the follow on support take care of the wounded. EVEN if the threat is STILL active, you just secure zones or areas and keep on pushing. The support personnel just follow into the cleared zones and starts evacuating and treating the casualties. Waiting until the event is over before taking care of the casualties when the event is NOT happening in cleared areas would be criminal negligence. You need to be OBJECTIVE about these things. It's NOT all ON and OFF switches in life. There are IN-BETWEENS!!!
@@ninjkitywarlock6337 Christ is it infuriating to think about that. I can’t imagine the rage a survivor of a school shooting must feel knowing that the police stood by while children died.
This is from a TV show?? Goddamn!! The first 13-minute unbroken sequence was f*cking intense!That was a masterclass in how to shoot (no pun intended) an action scene; It's up there with the hallway scene as well as the prison break scene from the Daredevil show. And if I'm being completely honest, it's up there with action movies like Heat, Miami Vice, the John Wick movies, the Bourne films, Casino Royale and Skyfall and even the two Raid movies!!! I'm definitely going to go back and watch the show from the beginning.
My school thought it was a smart idea to have a fake school shooting situation, without telling any of the staff members. We went on to lockdown and everybody around me was crying. We all thought people that we knew were going to die, people were texting their parents and trying to check local news outlets. My school later had to apologize for the incident and send a letter home to parents about it. It was such a scary situation I just can’t even begin to imagine how scary it is for it to be real.
i’m a kid in the USA. me and my brother are brother students and my dad is a teacher. my school has gotten threats but nothing like this 🙁 i’m so sorry for everyone who has had to go through this..
The ending when he shakily turns on the radio again and announces the death of the killer, has to be one of my favorite scenes. Cause they don't rejoice and don't cheer like some 80s superman film. He still has the trauma fresh in his mind and knowing the cleanup that comes after and everything, he knows the job is far from done. The horror he has witnessed must be one of the worst. Such a heartbreaking moment.
And the second fact that even though the kid/shooter did something unspeakable, you feel both the utmost hatred and sympathy for him. You can’t ever truly tell if someone is just truly evil or something happened that rocked his core enough to do this.
This is one of the most incredible episodes of TV i have ever seen in my life. And actually i feel this is the best Police tv series i have also ever watched - and it's Canadian. I think that is a spectacular achievement. It is more real and raw than any american cop tv show which tend to always tend to have far too much hollywood hero cowboy saves the day type of unrealistic crap. Rawness = real. And this show generally wins in that aspect for its real scenarios and how they're portrayed
Whoever wrote this deserves an Emmy. The fact you get to know the characters, and care about them, even though there's not a lot of dialog and it's a dramatic action scene, is incredible. Great direction, acting on all parts too.
They weren't that good in my opinion. They carry themselves in the cherry-picked police fashion that a lot of shows like to capture. It's mainstream acting. I wish we could see some realistic acting but I understand part of the appeal for all media in general is drama. Being realistic can often be boring.
@@ReaperOnRepo well... As someone who was actually in school during a shooting in cali. And now a cop in Texas. This is very accurate. So not sure what the fuck you think you know. But I joy your ignorance bud.
Nobodys talking about how the school shooter outsmarted the entire pd like bro knew what he was doing backing away and taking hostages he came in more prepared than the gta 5 protagonists
The screaming and shooting were all that's needed to intensify this situation. The camera movement made it all look as if you were actually there. That's why this felt so real.
Growing up in the 80s, everyone was coming to grips with serial killers. It was a time when you could no longer leave your door unlocked or hitchhike or talk to strangers. But never could anyone comprehend the idea of school shooters. 24 years after Columbine, I think the school shooter is here to stay, just like the serial killer. Who knows what it will be in another 20 years.
@@hudsondolezal3553 Uvalde was horrible they just stood their as children were being slaughtered. But the officers in Nashville handled it extremely well.
I still can't wrap my mind around the fact, that Americans don't support more strict gun control laws. I'm not aware of any other countries that suffer from similar troubles.
I pray we repent of our sins and turn to Jesus Christ for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand love your enemies and forgive others just as God can forgive you spread peace and be blessed amen.
It's just sad. It's even sadder because we need to prepare children to have to face a situation as traumatizing as a school shooting in case it does ever happen. 😢😢💔
From a filmmaking and writing standpoint, aspects such as the lack of music really add to create tension, with the gunshots acting like jumpscares while you're holding your breath. The tracking shots were not only impressive, with the first one going for so long, they also work to keep the audience invested, like you know you'll miss something important if you look away. The acting was also incredible: The officers clearly stressed and building up courage to go after the shooter and quickly reacting to and reporting his moves, the different students and staff running, hiding, or reacting to the shots, and even the shooter's actions when talked to or cornered makes everyone, even background characters, so dimensional and realistic. I personally like horror media, and while this is rather a drama/action, this is so much better at making the audience scared due to how they utilize suspense. Even with gunshots to make you jump, the tension won't die down until the threat is neutralized, and since there is little progress being made overall, the audience is on edge the whole time. This is just overall amazing writing, acting, and cinematography that has left me still shaking as I'm writing this.
This just came to my feed randomly as I’m spending the day home due to high fever and strong body aches and what an amazing piece. I haven’t felt this immersed in something in years.
I have a lot of respect for everybody who worked on this entire sequence. It must have taken so long and could not have been easy for anyone, especially for all the actors who had the responsibility of portraying a situation like this as realistically as possible. Every single crew member and actor deserve high praise for the fantastic job they did here.
@@SparklyTwo I don't necessarily do it all day.. maybe on occasion but i view suffering as real, i know i wouldn't want to be shot and everyone in the school surely doesn't want to be shot either, it's still exhilarating and i enjoy the idea of being in a situation like that.
@@ANKDrew Hey now the suffering and pain of loss isn't happening directly to me, unless my family was there too, but in that case I'd just not even think about it but it can't hurt me.
The way there are almost no jump cuts through this scene is just chilling, as well as the way they deliberately only have shots pop off when they are *not* in view. It puts you right there. Very immersive cinematography.
@@n0tjake95 It's strange that these things don't happen in the "gun loving" part of the U.S., you can shit on the yanks all you want but there are clear links between rampant mental illness in their country and these events, and the places where it's harder to get a gun are far more likely to experience gun related crimes.
Bullets can pass through books very easily - even if the first one deflects, the second one has a clear path. The end scene reminds me of Star Trek phaser battles where people take cover behind fern plants.
For those who attend school, don’t expect cops to stop if you are injured. They don’t stop, their focus is to stop the shooter(s). If you can get out, get out. Stay strong & stay safe everyone.
@@hannahdyson7129 Not all injuries, even from a bullet, are lethal without immediate care. Also, if someone doesn’t stop the shooter, then more people will be hurt or killed
Neat thing is all the other officers follow this doctrine of finding the shooter first save one. The officer who saved the girl, JM, is made fun of by his other buddies for being a pussy and crumbling under pressure, so his ignoring of this actually coincides with his character arch in the show. Good show for anyone who hasn't seen it yet!
Active Shooter Training Rule #1 for LE. Stop/Kill the shooter. #2. Determine if more shooters present or any devices planted. Once those are met, THEN we provide first aid.
"where are you" "I DONT FUCKING KNOW" this show is so fucking REAL dude holy shit, their emotions are palpable i can feel the fear they are feeling this is an amazing show, also the way it is shot is so unique, almost no cuts, there are some but its rare, its just a camera man walking around a school being shot up, this was brilliant i really wanna see more of this show now
@@march9589 ok dude they are filiming a show, like this isnt actually happening so these emotions arent truly real, they are actors, im complimenting them on being great actors, they act like real people i BELIEVE it, they did a fantastic job, like ive seen footage of real police officers in life threatening situations and i gotta say they acted very similar to the actors in this show, the script writers and the actors were both doing amazing jobs
The "I don't fucking know" is one of the reasons that active shooter responder drills started doing training in high-risk buildings, instead of in their home ground or at 3rd party, non-related training sites. So that the responders who trained in those buildings could guide the ones that didn't around.
If this show was so real why would the cop be blind firing at a shooter with a hostage? If it were so real how come none of them acknowledged the fact that books are made out of bricks
Bro I swear I think this traumatized me in every way possible, it’s only the fact its true and this happens all the time and it just makes me sad that people have to decide to this to hurting others with including hurting themselves, they try and do suicide but they just think of hurting others and including many and many children’s family’s being affected, it just tears me up that these things happen
Seeing the police obviously scared but never hesitating to go in the school damn near brought a tear to my eye. It's coming out now that the police failed MASSIVELY during the elementary school shooting in Uvalde, Texas this week. Shit is unbelievable.
This is eerily realistic. For those who don’t understand why the show depicts the officers not helping out injured kids once they get to them, here’s why: the number one rule in combat medicine is that the best form of medicine is fire superiority. You have to neutralize/suppress the threat before you can render any aid, or else you could become yet another casualty. This scene accurately depicts the very, very difficult decision of having to walk past bleeding out victims in order to actively engage the shooter and bring the threat down, that way first responders can safely begin rendering medical aid. Nobody ever wants to have to be in this situation, yet this is a day to day reality for first responders/military personnel in active combat zones. God bless those who do this for a living.
Correct. This is standard police training when it comes to active shooter threats. Active shooter threats are handled the complete opposite of a barricaded subject or a hostage situation (where time is the ally of the officer).
In this show the officers could have easily taken multiple shots that would have prevented multiple students deaths. It's like they don't trust their aim from 10 meters, which is appalling as that is extremely close for combat.
Yeah but my question is why does nobody have at least a shotgun or a assault rifle this an activer shooter with an AR you are going to need a bigger weapon for a bigger caliber for things like this. Also where is swat? I know it’s meant to be dark and people are calling this realistic but the more I look over it and think about it shows me that it’s not that realistic
Impressive they did this all in one take! Really captures the grim reality of the situation and how, unlike in movies, there are no reshoots of drastic events.
I came across this randomly, I've never seen the show, but WOW this scene is masterfully shot. It brilliantly captures emotion, physical pain, fear, panic, uncertainty... I am amazed. It really puts you in the moment.
As someone who has never seen the show, this to me is like some sort of short film. No outside context, just this isolated story. And for some reason, that made it so much better. Being able to learn the names of the characters that I even learn of makes it feel as if I’m watching this from start to end. This is event is major. It’s a singularity. That’s the feeling I get with watching this without context. And damn is it ever good.
Its not watering down the plot for maximum audience appeal, or shoving useless melodrama into the script for filler screen time. It also isn't treating it's audience like a bunch of toddlers that require narrative spoon feeding. Some good TV right here.
The fact this is a thing I have to be afraid of happening. I have to live in constant fear that this could happen to me almost every day. Honestly breaks my heart.
The fact they pulled this off *twice*, once in the french version and a second time in the english version, is simply incredible. The first 12 minute shot is actually done in one single take, at least according to many who worked on the set. Took several attempts to get it right.
@@gimpyrules6714 many of the actors on set confirmed it was done in a single long continuous shot, along with Podz, the director, who actually came back to do the scene again in the English version

Also, SWAT teams take a long time to mobilize and by then it's probably been dealt with by patrol officers, since they all flock to the scene and run in before swat gets there. It's also worth to take into account this seems to be an older show, with an older time period, or simply it's unrealistic as they do not have patrol rifles.

Holy fuck man. Gave me chills.

That was fucking sad, and the fact this happened irl is even more fucking sad and all of the kids didnt even got a chance to be their dream job, and their moms are probably crying after they heared that their one or fav son got killed bc of this
God that is hard to think about just so sad
What makes this harder to watch is that this is a situation that can and has happened in real-life, and it's tragic. This scene does a wonderful job capturing the horror of school shootings.
If an incident like this occurred where a shooter was allowed to basically galavant their way around a school, the responding police would be lambasted to hell and back.

I like how the police are depicted accurately by being scared of the situation but still doing the job. Too many cops in too many shows/movies are billy badass with no realistic human emotion. That isn’t the case with this scene, that’s what makes the scene captivating
No matter how cliche some of the lines are, the fact that almost all the cops seem very scared of going in the school is super realistic, and I like that. Pretty good work here.
thats also because they were shooting actual blanks

@@joshua-jayechan5015 they do but arent any sort of supersoldier with no emotion
They convey the fear but also the confusion. They don’t know the layout of the school, they don’t know how many shooters, barely what the shooter looks like, what he has in his arsenal etc. Which of course adds to the fear. This was very well done, almost to well done. It was hard to watch.
Bravery isn’t about not being scared. It’s about being frightened out of your mind and still being able to do your job.

Since 1989, based on results obtained at another prior similiar shooting situation, police in Montreal and Canada learned quickly that the first officers arriving at any school, mall, large building, etc., shooting scene MUST enter the scene.
Even at great risk to themselves, and without waiting for backup.
This has been shown and proven to save many other lives. Delay is fatal.
With notable tragic exceptions, I hope this is current police procedure in Canada and the United States.
That's really interesting. I read somewhere that this procedure wasn't implemented in the united states until after columbine
Yet we still had Uvalde happen. Bunch of chickenshits.
Unfortunately in the U.S it's been long ruled that law enforcement is allowed to prioritize their own safety over civilians. In some high profile shootings and smaller ones as well, police protocol has been to set up outside the school and amass tons of units before even making a entrance.
This happens even if Swat is on scene.
I've personally been there for a shooting. During the time the police took to set up, the shooter escaped, took a car and drove a state over. They waited 4 hours to sweep the school for the shooter.
In simple words. U.S police would rather wait for the shooter to run out of ammo than confront one.
@@unusualusername8847im not an american but i've read about warren v dc. Is that the reason?
Minus Uvalde. They let them get murdered & even listened to the whole thing without intervening at all!! (until the shooter killed himself & 15+ children were dead of course)
The only unrealistic part of this is that the cops are doing their job. They aren’t standing around doing nothing like Uvelde or Parkland.
well it’s actually not unrealistic because it’s set in canada and our cops do their jobs (for the most part lol). also, this episode was based on an actual shooting that happened in montreal in 2006, and the large majority of it was accurate.
Am not an american, can you elaborate? I mean i've seen something about warren v DC, but it still can't grasp the concept that US cop legally doesnt have to protect the citizen from harm? Correct me if im wrong tho.
@@mulder801 You are correct. In the US a police officer legally does not need to endanger themselves to protect others, as a result of a supreme court decision. I think, could be wrong, that a state law could be passed to fix that on a state level, but certainly a federal for the nation as a whole. Or the court can reverse the decision, if a case came before them again. Counties or cities might be able to set policy for that too, but I'm even less sure about that than the state part (I've not read the full decision and i don't particularly want to go reading a legal document rn, so I am not sure how far reaching it is).

What I love the most about this is the fact the officers, who are trained to do this, are obviously panicked and terrified of a few teenagers with guns. Anything could happen, to them or to the students inside. They breathe hard, reassure themselves, and move cautiously. Despite their fear, they move in no matter what.

@@bait5257 well a fact can be a bad fact. Not necessarily because the information is bad, but because of what the fact is about.
@@ReaperOnRepo from what I know, at least with Canadian police forces like RCMP, public shooters are really the only scenario where law enforcement are told there lives are secondary, they are told don’t take cover, if you see something like a pipe bomb on the floor you just run over it and pray it doesn’t explode, they won’t stop for injured people, and if it take an entire detachment of officers to die to eliminate the threat (whether it is killing them or an arrest) then that is what it will take. From the get go they are told what is at stake, most officers in training will understand what it means when “your life is a secondary priority”, soldiers who switched to police have even said it’s more intense than any training they go through (maybe except for soldiers who went through special forces training), so at least for RCMP by the time they get to the school or building or wherever the shooter is it will be over in minutes, and honestly once the shooter knows the police are there they will end up killing themselves.

@@DavidAkhter The scene IN the school almost have no cuts. But when they were outside the school there were cuts.
Not really on the acting. Real police tactics would be drastically different from what’s depicted here
I’m sure it’s been said several times but for anyone wanting to know why they very rarely stopped to render aid, as a law enforcement officer, in a situation with an active shooter, we’re trained that regardless of the casualties, our #1 goal is to neutralize the threat. We are not to stop and render aid for anyone as long as there is actively a threat present. The scene where the officer picks the girl up and takes her outside is a completely rare event. He did what some would do. He saved a life. Absolutely amazing job by the directors while making this scene. Absolutely incredible.
Which is the saddest part of all of this to me. Not the fact that they don't stop but the fact that most of the cops didn't do anything to stop the threat. Most waited outside or just disappeared, the two main guys so many chances to end the threat but didn't because they either didn't shoot or took to long
@@ninjkitywarlock6337 if there weren't any cops outside maybe the shooter could've slipped outside and shot everyone else also, but some the cops just standing around though
THAT is a lot of generalization.
It's ONLY valid for the FIRST on-scene officers or whatever the assault team is made of. It's a procedure that the police calls "Rapid Deployment" in the USA. And it's a lot like in the infantry. You move on and let the follow on support take care of the wounded. EVEN if the threat is STILL active, you just secure zones or areas and keep on pushing. The support personnel just follow into the cleared zones and starts evacuating and treating the casualties.
Waiting until the event is over before taking care of the casualties when the event is NOT happening in cleared areas would be criminal negligence.
You need to be OBJECTIVE about these things. It's NOT all ON and OFF switches in life. There are IN-BETWEENS!!!

And this show generally wins in that aspect for its real scenarios and how they're portrayed
Whoever wrote this deserves an Emmy. The fact you get to know the characters, and care about them, even though there's not a lot of dialog and it's a dramatic action scene, is incredible. Great direction, acting on all parts too.
its a french tv show they really deserve everything
@@mehdi.9307 it’s actually from north america, the channel is broadcasted a lot here in canada
@@Xavier-fb5zi This active shooter scenario would've been done in mere seconds if they hadn't patched slide canceling
Best part is that first 12 minutes is all one continuous long take, there's no cuts, it's one camera the entire time
@@thecanadianredneck3744 no he's right, this one is a remake of a french-canadian show, also called 19-2. Look it up.
This is what you call acting range. McMurry, Wayne both playing serious roles. Amazing
I've never seen somebody bleed so much fake blood. Janitor is going to have a lot of mopping to do
@@joseywales4638 shut up dude seriously
They weren't that good in my opinion.
They carry themselves in the cherry-picked police fashion that a lot of shows like to capture. It's mainstream acting. I wish we could see some realistic acting but I understand part of the appeal for all media in general is drama. Being realistic can often be boring.
@@ReaperOnRepo well... As someone who was actually in school during a shooting in cali. And now a cop in Texas. This is very accurate. So not sure what the fuck you think you know. But I joy your ignorance bud.
@@sirwolf3617 Calm down dude I had no malicious intent with that comment.
This was amazing. Director is genius for this episode
Nobodys talking about how the school shooter outsmarted the entire pd like bro knew what he was doing backing away and taking hostages he came in more prepared than the gta 5 protagonists
The screaming and shooting were all that's needed to intensify this situation. The camera movement made it all look as if you were actually there. That's why this felt so real.
Yeah but the camera guy was walking into the line of fire so it looked kinda weird
@@Akotski-ys9rr no he’s just in spectator mode, he died early on in the round
@@bobthreetimes2286 heh, good one
Oh is that why?
@@bobthreetimes2286 don't be silly, its recorded by that fly from g-force which has a camera on its back.
What's sad is that this scene is not just some creepy story, this stuff actually happens. It's insane
Growing up in the 80s, everyone was coming to grips with serial killers. It was a time when you could no longer leave your door unlocked or hitchhike or talk to strangers.
But never could anyone comprehend the idea of school shooters.
24 years after Columbine, I think the school shooter is here to stay, just like the serial killer. Who knows what it will be in another 20 years.
Na this never happens the cops just wait outside till everyone is dead
@@hudsondolezal3553 Uvalde was horrible they just stood their as children were being slaughtered. But the officers in Nashville handled it extremely well.
I still can't wrap my mind around the fact, that Americans don't support more strict gun control laws. I'm not aware of any other countries that suffer from similar troubles.
I pray we repent of our sins and turn to Jesus Christ for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand love your enemies and forgive others just as God can forgive you spread peace and be blessed amen.
this made me cry, because we have to live in a world like this where someone would want to do this...💔
because there made evil
@@RealShreyDoshi sadly yes :(
It's just sad. It's even sadder because we need to prepare children to have to face a situation as traumatizing as a school shooting in case it does ever happen. 😢😢💔
Well made. Intense
What’s even more impressive is that the first scene was done in one take.
Edit: I didn’t think this comment would get that much likes 😂😂😂
Power on inmersion is high on the first 13 minutes of this episode, it feels real, is indeed real under the right context.
It’s not one camera take. It’s edited to appear that way, but it isn’t.
@@jarredah bruh
@@jarredah yeah, kinda like how 1917 is actually a few takes edited
Well most school shootings happen in one take. They don't say, "aw shit I'll get it better next semester".
Cops: “You’ve got nowhere’s left to run, its over”
Shooter: * runs somewhere else *
Lmao 🤣
Think it might’ve been a bluff
Not funny not tryna be rude just I’ve been in the marine for 10 years and a cop for 5
@@teytongarren2441 you're right, it's not funny. It's hilarious.
Bruh I wanted to hear his whine “nO i DoNt WaNnA!” when they told him to put the weapon down
This was the most intense episode
From a filmmaking and writing standpoint, aspects such as the lack of music really add to create tension, with the gunshots acting like jumpscares while you're holding your breath. The tracking shots were not only impressive, with the first one going for so long, they also work to keep the audience invested, like you know you'll miss something important if you look away.
The acting was also incredible: The officers clearly stressed and building up courage to go after the shooter and quickly reacting to and reporting his moves, the different students and staff running, hiding, or reacting to the shots, and even the shooter's actions when talked to or cornered makes everyone, even background characters, so dimensional and realistic.
I personally like horror media, and while this is rather a drama/action, this is so much better at making the audience scared due to how they utilize suspense. Even with gunshots to make you jump, the tension won't die down until the threat is neutralized, and since there is little progress being made overall, the audience is on edge the whole time. This is just overall amazing writing, acting, and cinematography that has left me still shaking as I'm writing this.
This just came to my feed randomly as I’m spending the day home due to high fever and strong body aches and what an amazing piece. I haven’t felt this immersed in something in years.
I feel the exact same man, down to the aches and chills
Yeah same
@iHateCRAIG yall got that delta
Get a covid test wtf
Uhh dude get checked out bc thats how I felt when I had corona or if you just recently got the shot then that's a positive sign
I have a lot of respect for everybody who worked on this entire sequence. It must have taken so long and could not have been easy for anyone, especially for all the actors who had the responsibility of portraying a situation like this as realistically as possible. Every single crew member and actor deserve high praise for the fantastic job they did here.
I don't see why it would be difficult at all i think it sounds thrilling
@@nukacolacompany2534 Okay well some people would rather not pretend to be in school shootings all day like you.
@@SparklyTwo I don't necessarily do it all day.. maybe on occasion but i view suffering as real, i know i wouldn't want to be shot and everyone in the school surely doesn't want to be shot either, it's still exhilarating and i enjoy the idea of being in a situation like that.
@@nukacolacompany2534 how would you enjoy that? The suffering and unimaginable pain of loss… you’re a psychopath if you would enjoy that.
@@ANKDrew Hey now the suffering and pain of loss isn't happening directly to me, unless my family was there too, but in that case I'd just not even think about it but it can't hurt me.
This is heart wrenching and honestly I am scared to think where this civilisation is heading.
There would have been more survivors at Uvalde if the police had acted this way there.
The way there are almost no jump cuts through this scene is just chilling, as well as the way they deliberately only have shots pop off when they are *not* in view. It puts you right there. Very immersive cinematography.
@Haha you liked your own comment didn't you
It was ONE take, bro. Get it right.
@@jasonhughes5329 that was not one take, it was alot
The mere fact that thousands of kids have actually been in situations such as this is gut-wrenching, heart breaking and soul crushing.
My girl was in this situation, she was there during the Santa Fe Highschool shooting.
@@kryt0nix599 Damn, that mustve been terrifying
This all stems from this love for guns and gun culture in America. I’m thankful that I live in a country with regulations.
@@n0tjake95 It's strange that these things don't happen in the "gun loving" part of the U.S., you can shit on the yanks all you want but there are clear links between rampant mental illness in their country and these events, and the places where it's harder to get a gun are far more likely to experience gun related crimes.
@@n0tjake95 We love to be able to defend ourselves man. If we ain't able to do that, you end up like Russia or China.
Bullets can pass through books very easily - even if the first one deflects, the second one has a clear path. The end scene reminds me of Star Trek phaser battles where people take cover behind fern plants.
this entire video is proof that the cameraman never dies
For those who attend school, don’t expect cops to stop if you are injured. They don’t stop, their focus is to stop the shooter(s). If you can get out, get out. Stay strong & stay safe everyone.
And if they can't get out and are injured they are as good as dead right ?
The EMTS job is solely to confirm the time of death I assume ?
@@hannahdyson7129 Not all injuries, even from a bullet, are lethal without immediate care.
Also, if someone doesn’t stop the shooter, then more people will be hurt or killed
The murdered students are the shooters fault.
The cops job is to get the bad guy.
Neat thing is all the other officers follow this doctrine of finding the shooter first save one. The officer who saved the girl, JM, is made fun of by his other buddies for being a pussy and crumbling under pressure, so his ignoring of this actually coincides with his character arch in the show. Good show for anyone who hasn't seen it yet!
Active Shooter Training Rule #1 for LE. Stop/Kill the shooter. #2. Determine if more shooters present or any devices planted.
Once those are met, THEN we provide first aid.
"where are you"
"I DONT FUCKING KNOW"
this show is so fucking REAL dude holy shit, their emotions are palpable i can feel the fear they are feeling this is an amazing show, also the way it is shot is so unique, almost no cuts, there are some but its rare, its just a camera man walking around a school being shot up, this was brilliant i really wanna see more of this show now
Of course they’re also only human
@@march9589 ok dude they are filiming a show, like this isnt actually happening so these emotions arent truly real, they are actors, im complimenting them on being great actors, they act like real people i BELIEVE it, they did a fantastic job, like ive seen footage of real police officers in life threatening situations and i gotta say they acted very similar to the actors in this show, the script writers and the actors were both doing amazing jobs
The "I don't fucking know" is one of the reasons that active shooter responder drills started doing training in high-risk buildings, instead of in their home ground or at 3rd party, non-related training sites. So that the responders who trained in those buildings could guide the ones that didn't around.
Yeah I totally believable, like the way he just collected hostages without saying a word, and all the people just voluntarily walked over to him LOL
If this show was so real why would the cop be blind firing at a shooter with a hostage? If it were so real how come none of them acknowledged the fact that books are made out of bricks
This is the best depiction of a mass shooting ever so realistic bravo to all the actors and everyone involved in this series
that’s because they recreated the events from an actual shooting. dawson college, in montreal in 2006.
Bro I swear I think this traumatized me in every way possible, it’s only the fact its true and this happens all the time and it just makes me sad that people have to decide to this to hurting others with including hurting themselves, they try and do suicide but they just think of hurting others and including many and many children’s family’s being affected, it just tears me up that these things happen
Seeing the police obviously scared but never hesitating to go in the school damn near brought a tear to my eye. It's coming out now that the police failed MASSIVELY during the elementary school shooting in Uvalde, Texas this week. Shit is unbelievable.
bad funding... and underpaid cops in small towns. It sucks
@@joejob7264 Also coruption and misuse of funds.
Yeah, there was a period of like 11-17 minutes where there was 19 cops in the school and none breached as 16 more shots were fired.
@@joejob7264 40% of the city’s funding
Shit happens every week in America. 27 school shootings since the start of the year. 26 weeks in half a year. That averages to one a week.
This is eerily realistic. For those who don’t understand why the show depicts the officers not helping out injured kids once they get to them, here’s why: the number one rule in combat medicine is that the best form of medicine is fire superiority. You have to neutralize/suppress the threat before you can render any aid, or else you could become yet another casualty.
This scene accurately depicts the very, very difficult decision of having to walk past bleeding out victims in order to actively engage the shooter and bring the threat down, that way first responders can safely begin rendering medical aid. Nobody ever wants to have to be in this situation, yet this is a day to day reality for first responders/military personnel in active combat zones. God bless those who do this for a living.
Correct. This is standard police training when it comes to active shooter threats. Active shooter threats are handled the complete opposite of a barricaded subject or a hostage situation (where time is the ally of the officer).
In this show the officers could have easily taken multiple shots that would have prevented multiple students deaths. It's like they don't trust their aim from 10 meters, which is appalling as that is extremely close for combat.
Yeah, we know. Lol
@@johnbean9797 10 meters with a pistol and someone who has an ar… say bye bye
Yeah but my question is why does nobody have at least a shotgun or a assault rifle this an activer shooter with an AR you are going to need a bigger weapon for a bigger caliber for things like this. Also where is swat? I know it’s meant to be dark and people are calling this realistic but the more I look over it and think about it shows me that it’s not that realistic
Watching this after binge watching Letterkenny is so surreal seeing all of the these actors popping up
Impressive they did this all in one take! Really captures the grim reality of the situation and how, unlike in movies, there are no reshoots of drastic events.
I came across this randomly, I've never seen the show, but WOW this scene is masterfully shot. It brilliantly captures emotion, physical pain, fear, panic, uncertainty... I am amazed. It really puts you in the moment.
He looks just like the guy who did this last shooting in Texas this is so eerie
@@vicariawilliams6585 i know… chilling. and i posted the original comment the night before it happened. disturbing really
Watch the Blue Sky version!
Warning: Disturbing
@@vicariawilliams6585 looks similar but the shooter in the show is white, while the texas one was latino
@@vicariawilliams6585 But US-Cops only shoot parents not the criminal
As someone who has never seen the show, this to me is like some sort of short film. No outside context, just this isolated story.
And for some reason, that made it so much better. Being able to learn the names of the characters that I even learn of makes it feel as if I’m watching this from start to end.
This is event is major. It’s a singularity. That’s the feeling I get with watching this without context. And damn is it ever good.
you described my thoughts whilst watching this perfectly.
@@obitouchiha2581 how would it prevent that??
@@obitouchiha2581 the students watch other students get shot by a student to stop the student from shooting students.
Its not watering down the plot for maximum audience appeal, or shoving useless melodrama into the script for filler screen time. It also isn't treating it's audience like a bunch of toddlers that require narrative spoon feeding. Some good TV right here.
What is the actual show like? is it worth a watch?
The shooter didn't shoot the cameraman, what a gentleman
Lol the entire time I was watching it I kept making little comments in my head like that hahahahahsahaha

Foreal very good film

The fact they pulled this off *twice*, once in the french version and a second time in the english version, is simply incredible. The first 12 minute shot is actually done in one single take, at least according to many who worked on the set. Took several attempts to get it right.
I doubt it's one shot, for a TV show lololol? Nah
