,,,Thanks you guys......I had seen that movie in the 1950s as a kid,,,,,,,my first intro to war.....I knew WWI Veterans in my neighborhood, and they spoke little of the Western Frt.....and then us kids, dealt with WWII and Korean war vets...>>>Then it was out turn, Many of us went off to Viet Nam, with these previous wars in our heads........and it goes on, & on........+
Not sure why you claim never heard of... But All Quiet on the Western Front, 1930 is a well know classic , that me and my friends have watched many times
For me the description of naked soldiers hanging in trees because the shear concussive force of the artillery blasts blowing them out of their uniforms was disturbing. After witnessing the horrors of combat the "tableau" was viewed by the soldier with only morbid curiosity.
Good video. Nowadays war films are generated from historical accounts that are many decades to centuries old. I think the reality and authenticity of this battle scene had a lot to do with the fact that the war itself had only been history for maybe 13 or so years. Their we're still millions and millions of men alive who could offer first hand accounts of the horrors they faced in trench warfare. I would guess even some of the makers of the film and even some the older cast members had fought in the War.✌🏼💪🏼🙏🏼🇺🇸
You probably never heard of it but a lot of us older folks have. I first saw this movie in 1959 as a 12 year old and it really stayed on my mind and is one of my favorite war movies.One scene that stayed with me was the hands grabbing the barbed wire.BTW , Lew Ayres was deeply affected by his role that he became a medic during WW2.
You should see the world wars docudrama they did. Without a doubt the worst doc I have ever seen. My draw hit the floor when I saw the Japanese had an JMSDF aegis destroyer at the battle midway.
As a lover of the cosmos I have to add, if you think all of this is terrifying, then look up "The Great Attractor" which is a gravitational point in space, center to the Laniakea Supercluster. Basically, it's a place where billions of galaxies including our own all coalesce into a single gravitational point of attraction. In other words, we're heading into an inevitable, gravitational heat death. Thankfully it's so far out there's no telling if Earth, let alone the Milky Way (which would have long come into collision with Andromeda by then) would even be around to witness it. Space, is absolutely fascinating! Edit: I'd not realized you bring this up further into the video, but I'm leaving this here anyway.
Someone said “If you use less frightening music, space becomes a lot less scary.” And I could t agree more. Much like the bottom of the ocean. It’s just quiet. Its nature.
The movie you are detailing is “All Quiet on the Western Front”. This film was critically acclaimed. Not sure how you can say it’s a battle scene that is unheard of?
14:27 Imagine falling into that waterworld. It's too dark for you to see anything. You can see a huge black area covering half of your vision. You know you're falling. But you have no idea when you will hit the water. Is it water at all? Maybe it is some type of acid that will dissolve you immediately. Even if it is water, maybe some huge alien leviathan will come drag you down once you hit the water. Sweet dreams.
I know an analog horror series in which space plays a pretty big role in it. Its called "Gemini Home Entertainment". (This is a barebones explanation of the story, don't read if you want to avoid spoilers) The lore is about a literal living planet called "Iris". It invaded our solar system, and used other planets as a way to spread. Eventually, it started reaching earth, and sent things like woodcrawlers, Nature's mockery, Deeproot disease and etc.
I want to recommend awesome the war movies of Samuel Fuller. He was actually in World War II. He was a member of the big red one, the first infantry division. They fought a Kasserine pass in North Africa, they fight on the beaches at Normandy, D-Day, and they fought in Czechoslovakia. Among his best movies are the steel helmet and my favorite is fixed bayonets with Richard Basehart.
I think men in war is an even more realistic war film. This is not because of the bloodiness of the battle depicted. It focuses on the fear and terror that’s a soldiersfeel. They’re in a squad that’s been cut off from the rest of the US Army in Korea in June 1950 I would name three movies in terms of physical realism . The opening scene in saving Private Ryan. The final scene in platoon. And finally battle seen in the Orson Welles movie, Falstaff: chimes at midnight. You’ve never seen anything like this last movie.

If you pay attention to the opening scene, you will see that mile stone uses a tracking shot to follow the line of the Germans in that trench. He is famous for that. Take a look at a walk in the sun. There’s a scene where Dana Andrews and his squad ambush a German armored car. The camera is behind the soldiers in a ditch and it tracks along their line as they throw grenades at the armored car. Another milemilestone war movie is pork chop Hill
Distances. At speeds we have not yet achieved, in frozen slumber, humans gamble all-or-nothing to travel 40 light years for 4000 years without hitting any debris...The ship wakes you up in such event just for you to realize you are trapped in a can in a middle of literally no where with no hope of any change of your predicament. You'd wish for horizontal glass at bullet speeds just ending it. edit: what a video dude, what a video. Last time I felt chills like these was while watching Pandorum.
top tier great material, love space and you covered the topic like boss, keep up the good work, there are a lot of people that are prod of you and your work and i am one of them <3
The old black and white movie about Pancho Villa called "The life of General Villa", was actually filmed during the Mexican civil war. In other words,the battles in the movie were REAL battles(VERY few staged) and the people shot and killed were actually shot and killed. If so...then that's the most realistic battle scenes in a movie. It's said that Villa was paid $25,000 to let them make a film of him during that war.
Personally i find space really comforting. Since there is no life there. So there is no suffering or all the other horrible stuff that has happened or will happen on earth. No the scariest thing in the known universe and most likely all of existance is life.
I've had panic attacks for more than two decades now, because as a kid after I got my first astronomy book, learning about the inevitable end of our sun (and later the end of the entire fucking reality) really put me on edge.. first I had to come to terms with my own mortality, but I kinda accepted that because we are weak, pathetic and fragile beings COMPARED TO FUCKING STARS but.. even they end. Was it brown dwarfs that have lifespans several magnitudes longer lifespan than the current age of the universe? Won't black holes be the last functional object in reality because even they evaporate away? TON 618 is probably the largest one we discovered and I'd take a loooong ass time for it to die.. yet it will, nothing can triumph over the concept of Time itself. Just fucking wrecks me on several levels of my psyche and whatnot dude, its not even that we are specks of dust, not even that nothing that we will ever create will be reduced to nothingness, its just that.. nothing can escape the abyss, the meaninglessness. One would argue that there is nothing in this reality that can be classified as 'nothing' (because even if we label something as having zero of something.. thats still something, the absence of something IS something, this it cant be nothing) but one day, there might be a state that can be called as nothingness. The idea of time having a beginning but.. no end? The fact that we are playing with infinities and unthinkable concepts on the daily is.. well on one hand, sick af, but on the other, incomprehensible, unfathomable, unagimaginable. But then one day, I encountered the idea of the Poincaré Recurrence Time. Essentially, a closed system (a box with air in it, a room with balloons in it, the entire universe) has things in it that are countable. It can be ten, ten million, a googol, a googol times graham's number on the power of TREE(3) multipled by the number of particles in the universe.. its still just a finite amount. This finite amount can only ever really be organized and sorted in a finite amount of times.. even if it takes a LONG ass time. Finite amount of things = finite amount of possibilities of it being configured. In a manner of speaking, this sort of brings together the chaos theory, many worlds interpretation, parallel universes and timelines, the whole bunch.. whatever that can happen, will happen, in every possible configuration because the blocks that make up reality itself can only ever be configured in a finite amount of times. So even IF the big rip, big crunch whatever happens or we end up in the heat death of the universe - there is still hope that one day.. which can take as loooong as it likes - can start a new universe where you would still born, still go through a similar life, end up doing this video and I end up making a similar comment. I might have a different eye colour, you having different hair style, I could make the first ever comment on this video or take ten years before I do it and it going unnoticed.. all potential possibilities. And I don't know about others.. but I don't seem to remember anything before my conception. Roughly 14 billion years went by like poof and I was suddenly a 2 year old lmao When our consciousness doesn't exist, time is meaningless - its the only domain where time does not reign supreme. So even if the unthinkable happens, even if the worst comes to shove.. after an unfathomably long time interval, it will begin again, playing things out differently. Actually, it is most likely that the universes that are born wouldnt be fit to harbor life, but.. no consciousness, no concept of time. It will go poof over the course of quadrillions of years, another chance, another attempt.. Obviously, I am afraid of death, but mostly because I have to let go of the things and people that I love. But this concept, no matter how plausible, always drags me back into the light and lets me see things differently. Space IS terrifying.. it houses the most destructive phenomenons in all of reality, yet it also has the most blissful moments, happiest thoughts, most beloved people of ours and things that are closest to our hearts. Something somethign yin yang symbol, imma go and take up buddism, peace
Neptune's gas layers are cold only at the surface. It starts getting hotter quite quickly as you descend due to the increased pressure. And it wouldnt be the pressure that kills you during your fall, its the heat. (non-extreme) pressure isnt harmful unless there's a pressure differential. Because our bodies are mostly made up of water, and water is nearly incompressible so high pressure doesnt really affect us or many other animals at all. Its the pressure difference that gets ya. Delta P. How do you think deep sea fish can exist without "popping like balloons". Its pretty obvious you dont really know much about astronomy or physics at all. Also you would have no idea whether you were floating above the Mariana Trench (you actually mean Challenger Deep) since its in the middle of the ocean and doesnt look like anything on the surface. That picture is of the great blue hole in Belize.
