This is a long overdue movie...as a Black Navy Veteran I'm ecstatic that this story that I've asked too many times to be told has FINALLY come to light...and I'm hoping they did it the justice it deserves.
Me too, this story is one of the most heroic legends of naval service. Jesse Brown is a hero in so many ways and Toms love for his brother inspires me every day. The book is one of my favorite ever and I’m beyond excited to see this film. Thanks for the comment!
I was in High school with his wife was his widow. I’m from Mississippi as well and a Army officer. Not lot of people know about him and this movie is very important.
My father was in both WWII and Korea, retired Lt. Commander USN, 30 years. It made me think of him and made me cry thinking of him while watching. I was born in San Diego in 51, lived on base in a quonset hut. It's a great movie.
Jesse body was recovered in 2013. the Korean government granted special permission for hudner to recover the body and he was greeted with his wife when hudner returned. I read the article and a huge fan of the story before any of this came about
@@marcustiggs5361 what article was doing this? Because we just heard in the movie along with just every single documentary even before Hudner before he died stated Jesse his body was incinerated. When the squadron went back to the aircraft, they blew it up, completely incinerated it with napalm so the Chinese didn’t get a hold of it with Jesse still inside. I am not gonna lie, but I find that a little bit off. Another thing I did find a little off was when Hudner crashed his plane. In the interviews, especially he talks about struggling getting through the snow. The snow was up to his waist. Even the rescue pilot that came struggled to literally get to them as well. They spent 45 minutes trying to get Jesse out but they made it look like the pilot just arrived and only spent 10 minutes on the ground
@@monkeycat48 2014 was when the article came out. Hudner visited the crash site and had him dug up. His widow met him at the airport with his remains there were pictures and everything
This won't sell as many tickets as Top Gun because it's a true story. Folks don't really like seeing or hearing the hard truth. But I am glad this story is finally being told. I knew nothing about this guy until many years after I left the Navy. I am so glad to see that there are so many more opportunities available in the military since I left.
I finished watching the film yesterday. The only thing that didn’t make any sense was the credits. Because they talk about getting Jesse’s body back, but the truth is he was vaporized. His squadron went back even in the movie, and then every single interview conducted documentaries. All stated his body was vaporized. There’s no source confirming that his body is still there or the aircraft is there considering since they vaporized it with napalm.
Just saw this last week, and it led me to your channel. Im a retired Navy PR, (Parachute Rigger), aviation buff, history buff and I love when Naval Aviation gets the lam light. So I knew the story, and loved this movie. I've heard complants about the pacing, etc, but when its a true story, one is a bit limited when it comes to that, as well as character archs and so on. But the acting was incredable, as was the cinematography. They used 6 of the handful of F-4U corsairs left in the world. But the story of the friendhip these two men had was front and center, and anyone who's boat won't float with that, is just not getting it. Anyway, hope you enjoy it. I did. Another good one from the same conflict is "The bridges at Toko Ri". Great movie. Lastly Im with ya on the importance of this war. Those nighttime satellite photos of North and South Korea say it all.
Thanks for explaining the naval tradition. I just finished watching "In Harm's Way". That movie was criticized for substandard special effects at the end, but they work, much like the vintage miniature work in "633 Squadron". The men on the ships are either incredibly brave or they just automatically do their jobs because they're naval men, no matter what chaos is going on around them.
I'm late here, but I'm extremely excited about the coming of this movie. I have a great love for all military service, myself being not only a Marine serving in Vietnam, but I also served in the Coast Guard. My oldest brother served in the Air Force as well as the Army. Don't ask! Anyway, although I'm not a military historian, as I've said I have a great love for military service. Can't wait for this piece of history to be shown.
For anyone who doesn't know (and I'm getting this information from interviews I've seen) Glen Powell (Tom Hudner & Jake 'Hangman' Seresin), who was also an executive producer on Devotion, worked for 6 years to get Devotion made after reading the book, starting with meeting the late Tom Hudner shortly before his death. Glen wasn't sure if he was going to be able to do Top Gun Maverick as well because of his commitments to Devotion but Tom Cruise found a way to make it possible for him to do both movies and Glen used a lot of what he learned from Tom while making Top Gun in the making of Devotion. I've heard the director, J. D Dillard say that this movie wouldn't have happened without Glen and the promises he made to the Brown and Hudner families. And I for one have so much respect to Glen for making sure this very real story is told, long after it should have been
Going off of your hopes that the movie stays true to telling the true history, what will make or break the movie for me is whether the producers don't shy from depicting the Chinese as the enemy forces during the Chosin Reservoir battle. The Chinese themselves have already been making Korean War films depicting Americans as enemies, and it would be a travesty for Hollywood to minimize the Chinese involvement in the war. Thankfully, the trailer does show glimpses of what appears to be Chinese troops manning a machine-gun and attacking US Marines, I hope they will be depicted more clearly in the actual film.
Yea the movie you’re referring to I think is crazy. I hope this one comes through as honest and raw. This is an intensely emotional story and must be told truthfully
WELCOME BACK!!!!! Glad to see you are getting your room set up, this looks like this could be great, what a story to tale. I will be there to see this one.😀⚓💪🇺🇸🍻😎🖖
saw this trailer the other day...definitely going to see it for 50% the aircraft (love the corsair, hellcat, and bearcat) 30% history 10% the actors 10% the action and special effects
Of all the movies that have come out this year, this is one I am most interested in seeing in theaters. I feel like this is right up my alley: the story of the U.S. Navy's first African-American Aviator, the WWII-era piston fighter planes that were being used at a time when we were very much in the jet age...yeah, I really want to see this movie more than anything else, right now.
I am definitely excited to see this movie. Especially after reading both, The Flight of Jesse Leroy Brown (1998), and Devotion. You said it in your video, and I agree, I just hope two things, that they stay close to the true story, and that they don’t overplay the racism, which absolutely did happen and was horrible. I just hope they focus on the story of the bravery of the two main characters.
Yea, I hope they show the racism he experienced in uniform especially but in an honest way. This story is one of the most inspiring in the history of the Navy and deserves to be done well
Can't wait to see this. Hope they stick to the book. Read Adam Makos' other books A Higher Call and Spearhead very incredible and emotional stories from WW2. I ordered a VF 32 / VFA 32 shirt to wear when I see this movie. Amazing story.
This movie was made in Washington State of the Pacific Ocean this was found in cashmere and Wenatchee and Leavenworth Even Stevens pass even in Brewer pass this was this was made from and we watched the whole thing taking the film to Washington State we watched the courses we watched the world war II planes in this in this movie this was filmed in state of Washington to Pacific state of Washington this one took place if you don't believe me look up the Wenatchee world because it will tell you when it was filmed
It is all but impossible to explain to a non pilot the almost suicidal danger of intentionally crash landing a propeller driver aircraft in broken terrain. It is someplace between brave and self sacrificial.
It's a very good movie! Of course racism is a part of the story (how could it not be?) but that story element isn't front and center. It really is a about Jesse Brown's remarkable and titular devotion. R.I.P. By the way. great performance by Jonathan Majors. That scene in front of the mirror was heartbreaking. I can't imagine what it must have been like back then.
I don't know man. With the way Hollywood likes to portray the military and anything pre-2000 as racists, I think think this film will be decent but not reach its full potential. True, the Navy was late to the party when it came to black aviators seeing as the Army did it a decade prior but I believe that Hollywood will solely focus on that aspect while playing lip service to the war.

I hope this movie delve into the true reason a rescue party wasn't sent out.
I was in High school with his wife was his widow. I’m from Mississippi as well and a Army officer. Not lot of people know about him and this movie is very important.
Wow thanks for sharing. Yes this is an incredible story that everyone should know. I hope the movie does a great job portraying this incredible man

Thomas tried for years to bring his wingman home. Jesses body has yet to be recovered. I hope this changes one day and our Brother can come home.

@@marcustiggs5361 The effort in 2013 was unsuccessful. They are still working on another grant from NK to make another attempt.
I’m so glad that this story is being told and of course showing the greatest fighter ever built the F4 Corsair. And I’ll bring the tissue paper.
Saw it today.. loved it! Studied Jesse Leroy Brown two summers ago and was pumped for this movie! Salute to you and your channel!
Not gonna lie, I teared up. Every Gypsy knows this story. GYPSY ROLL, 1994-1998, AD3, USN.
Thanks for your service
I’m really excited to watch it. It’s a film based off of the book by Adam Makos. If you haven’t read any of his other books, I highly recommend it.
Thanks for the tip!
My first book from Makos was A Higher Call, which is one of the best books I've ever read. Devotion is another homerun.
This won't sell as many tickets as Top Gun because it's a true story. Folks don't really like seeing or hearing the hard truth. But I am glad this story is finally being told.

@@WaitAMinute1989 The movie was great. it didnt dive into why, but can you tell me why. i mean i have an idea but could you elaborate if u dont mind

"Second to None" - Motto of 2d Infantry Division stationed in South Korea since the end of the Korean War.
I'm going to see it really enjoyed the book Devotion and thanks for your book recommendation I was in the army but enjoy reading books about the seals

My fav are the Mustangs as well as the Corsairs

Ayo i was wondering if you could do a reaction to this clip of the Jolly Wrenches from the movie Disney Planes. Some part of it has the Navy
I’m thinking about joining the navy when I get a little older, got any advice?
What do you want to do?
@@TheScuttlebuttShow Fire controlman
Oh awesome, well, go for it. Try and get promoted to e3 before boot camp by helping recruit people or getting further education than high school
my fav show is MASH and i have a korean war traning helmet
Have you read the book “Devotion”
This movie was made in Washington State of the Pacific Ocean this was found in cashmere and Wenatchee and Leavenworth Even Stevens pass even in Brewer pass this was this was made from and we watched the whole thing taking the film to Washington State we watched the courses we watched the world war II planes in this in this movie this was filmed in state of Washington to Pacific state of Washington this one took place if you don't believe me look up the Wenatchee world because it will tell you when it was filmed
Heroes have no color
Would it not be better to see the movie before you critiqued it? I have seen it and it is fantastic.
It is all but impossible to explain to a non pilot the almost suicidal danger of intentionally crash landing a propeller driver aircraft in broken terrain. It is someplace between brave and self sacrificial.
Can you redo this now the movie is out
It's a very good movie! Of course racism is a part of the story (how could it not be?) but that story element isn't front and center.

I don't know man. With the way Hollywood likes to portray the military and anything pre-2000 as racists, I think think this film will be decent but not reach its full potential. True, the Navy was late to the party when it came to black aviators seeing as the Army did it a decade prior but I believe that Hollywood will solely focus on that aspect while playing lip service to the war.
If Im correct, the Navy was the first to intigrate black sailors into its ranks. Or aviators.
Any movie with the Corsair as a co-star,I’m in…..
