Hacksaw Ridge (2016) MOVIE REACTION *FIRST TIME WATCHING* 

So for the late reply but do they have a name or how do I search it up for images.

looks nothing like the movie. i never seen the rock tho. or any rock. there where some plaques put up and stuff. thats about it. it is more like a large hill. rather than a "cliff" like shown in the movie. they filmed the movie in Australia

Oh wow. That had to be amazing.

There's a photo on Google Maps. The rock looks smaller than the one portrayed in the film, but it's full of bullet holes, indeed.

Damn I didn’t realise that it’s based on a true event. That’s one of the movies I can only see once, it messed me up

lucky man I would do anything to just sit and have a conversation with a Legend like him

Quiet, Intense, kind and gentle. Yep... Sounds like a Legend to me. A Man with nothing to prove, only send good vibes

I met him in 2001 you’ve described him perfectly

Me too. MOH tour. I think it was 2000 though. It was at The Algonquin Club, in Boston Mass. Best bunch of guys, I've ever met.

I’m actually genuinely curious on what you mean by “intense”. Like just very serious?? lol I’m very interested if you see this

He saved 75 soldiers on Hacksaw Ridge, but that's still a miracle.

​@benedictfishy1218 he said it was around 50 the army said well over 100 they settled for 75

My brother, it’s an honour to have you on our channel..much love to you brother ❤️

What else did he do? What was left out?

@@VG-fk6nk After the grenade incident, one of his legs was brutally wounded, so they made a stilt/crutch for his leg, and he kept on going and saving more people, even though his one leg was pretty much useless. That's just one example of many.

@@abovewater6918 He was built different.

@@L4ftyOne Uh-oh, russian bot spotted.

​@@VG-fk6nk He earned the respect of his squad before they even left Basic, due largely to his treating of other men's blistered feet after those 20 mile hikes with full equipment, even though his own medical equipment was heavier than what the infantry carried before tending to his own broken blistered feet that he'd been marching on all day, without complaint. They nicknamed him "Preach" He was part of the 3 man crew that affixed the cargo nets to the side of the cliff every day (even though the japanese in this movie never appeared to understand the concept of "JUST CUT THE THING DOWN THEN THEY CAN'T GET UP HERE" (of COURSE they cut it down whenever they got the chance) He was shot in the arm by a tank crew and dragged himself back to the net on his elbows. (that was part of the ordeal with the grenade...and AFTER he'd been hit in the leg with the grenade so he was already wounded) 75 men was the compromise between his insistence it was less than 50 and his fellow soldiers counter-insisting that it was well over 100. Also that number did not include those he simply helped to the net and were able to lower themselves. He wasn't a private at that battle either, he'd been promoted to corporal (I think after the battle of Guam? Maybe) Anyway, he'd been an officer for quite some time. And the army kind of....screwed him out of the medical benefits he should have gotten for those injuries. For sixty years. When he did die, it was cited that complications from said injuries were a major contributing factor in his death. (Pneumonia) He refused to have a book/movie/documentary made about his life during his lifetime. The estate gave permission with the condition that it be made or released only after 10 years (thus the release date being in 2016)

@@gogousa6661 Mel's a crazy good director but I think that's from the script and he's not the scriptwriter.

@@shinHis3 his movies have huge set pieces and his ability to manage his set is similar to Martin and Spielberg.

I’ve always said this! No matter what Mel Gibson does/believes in his private life, the man is a savant in front of and behind a camera! Same with Tom Cruise, utterly insane in private, makes incredible films.

I've said that since Braveheart lol

Legend

This film is up there with saving private Ryan

Yep, that wasn't even the end of it. That guy was like a living embodiment of faith and heroism.

he was skinny af because he refused to eat regular rations due to being a vegetarian. . he dragged another soldier 300 yards with a compound fractured arm.

Yeah they had to replace most of his actions with other scenes because the reenactment team felt it was too hardcore and that people would give the celebrities backlash for thinking it was made up, every life he saved he had to go through a journey and most journeys were more gruesome than others but they left most of that out.

Couldn't have said it better

Hell if anybody was worthy of the power of Thor, it would be him

It is an excellent telling of Doss' story, but it is not 100 percent true...quite a few things were changed for various reasons. Other folks have talked about the fact that Doss' true exploits were actually toned down a little to make them "more believable", but his story was also very much compressed so that they would fit in a reasonable time. In reality, Doss and his unit fought in the campaign to take Guam in the Marianas, and in the Philippines campaign, and Doss was awarded 2 Bronze Stars for his actions in both of those battles. There were also a lot of other things they changed that are not of any real significance, like the fact that Hacksaw Ridge was out of range of naval gunfire, and was not nearly that clifflike...but it really does not matter to the overall impact of the film. Sorry if you knew all that and were just being really complimentary and keeping it brief. ✌

@@iKvetch558 Actually the escarpment was higher than what was shown in the movie, There's even a picture of Doss on top of the escarpment he actually helped put the netting, That helps guys get up there, On the ridge

@@alaneskew2664 That high, yes...but as I understand it, the slope was very steep, but not an actual cliff...I think I read it was like 45 degrees or thereabouts. That's what I was referring to...but yeah, I knew the height was about right and that Doss had actually helped put up the netting. ✌

Let’s gooooo!! Appreciate you so much mate ❤️

@@justtrustash love your videos but can the both of you react house of the dragon it is a very good show and world war z

This got me as well! Des finally gets to a point where he just has to flat out ask Him what does He want of him. And God answered right then and there. Doss’ mission always had been to save them 😭

It wasn’t god it was all him

@@tylerdurden6917 I don't care if you don't believe in God but please don't comment about it. It doesn't help anyone, and it starts arguments and drama. Both of which you obviously love.

@@sirunclejim7217 dude I’m gonna comment about it wether u like or not, sorry. The movie is beautiful & I really like it however it’s a stretch to say it was God. That’s just my opinion tho but hey to each their own.

@@tylerdurden6917 My point is you don’t have to comment at all. It makes nobody happy. Desmond Doss himself claimed that everything he did that day and every day he was in service was done through God. Just leave comments about christianity alone. We will believe what we choose to believe and you shouldn’t try to contest that in a RU-vid comment section. If you wanted to talk to someone about whether or not it’s plausible do it with people in real life. There is nothing smart about doing it online.

Love you mate! ❤️

Yeah Ash making his girlfriend mad is hilarious every time.

@@justtrustash Both of you make a great partnership. I could go with less of your bad language, ( specifically about Jesus) but love the accents. He is the Saviour of the world. I hope you can come to Believe that, once the Holy Ghost reveals Him to the both of you . Matthew 12 verse 32. "And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come.

oof you are one of those people huh, if jesus and his sky daddy were real me saying "fuck jesus in his big dumb mouth" wouldnt offend literal god he would have more important god shit to worry about that we couldnt even comprehend the only people it offends are humans that believe in the magic book with thin skin that think somehow if it was real god would be just as sensitive as the human getting offended for him and not be busy doing god shit him caring at all about us is like caring about an ant. its a waste of time because its beneath us. sad you need religion to give your life meaning and from the looks of it it seems to be a defining personality trait try a hobby that doesnt act like a cult with extra steps, i hear wood drawing and hiking are good.

I heard he said 50 and the army said 100, so they went with 75

Desmond Doss also rescued men from Philippines and Guam. Including those 75 from Hacksaw Ridge in Okinawa, the total number estimates up to 300 lives. Of course, he did it without any weapon to protect himself.

@@dewjade4897 So if you think about it, Counting children and grandchildren and now great grandchildren of those men that were saved, Conceivably over a 1000 people owe their lives to Desmond Doss.

@MOCKER 18 Go watch video documentary The Conscientious Objector made in 2004. Desmond is completely interviewed in that as is all of the remaining soldiers he saved as well as his brother Hal. There is a lot of facts in this movie that were completely altered but in that documentary he explains the truth. It is much more fascinating that the movie was.

@@godssheep3959 Oh how interesting. I'll have a gander. Thanks for the heads up ..

Yup, history is stranger than fiction. Some stuff so horrible people just don't wanna believe it. Others so wild and crazy they wouldn't think anyone would go through it much less survive it.

It’s like the story of a Japanese katana cutting through a US machine gun. It sounds fictional but it happened. Those old school katanas had up to 30,000 layers of durable razor sharp steel.

@@memesupreme2400 It did what now? Well.....down the google rabbit hole I go! See you on the other side =)

I don't know why using a rifle as a splint is considered unrealistic.

In the two large battles he was in before he got to Okinawa, Desmond did the same thing he did at Hacksaw Ridge. He would run forward, many times under heavy enemy fire, pull the wounded from the front line, treat them, and carry them back to the aid station. Also, that grenade slap at the end, he did that two separate times. Everything he did in combat in the movie, he did in real life. Plus more.

God bless you Chris. Thank you so much for your sacrifices and service. So sorry for the lose of your son.

God Bless You. God Bless Your Son. May He Rest In Peace 🙏 🕊

@@paultokjian7915 thank you

@@chrismadden132 you are welcome 🙏

I think the fact it took so long to make a movie is what makes it hard to believe it happened. Thing is that anti-life (futile) people with money don’t like real heroes. That’s why they hate Mel Gibson, Frank Miller, Zack Snyder. They try to make living hell of the lives of people who tell meaningful stories.

and some of it was not put into the movie as people might not believe it or something.

I just realized that’s not cool to say it’s a bit much considering we never met. But thanks guys for being fucking funny and entertaining. Literally watched this reaction everyday. Not just because of your reactions, which are priceless, but this movie is incredible. Thank you guys. I wish I had a patreon account but I’m in China so I can’t send money out of the country

Hang in there man. I've gone up to 180 - 200 as a resting heart beat. I'm not comparing cause I can't imagine what you're going through. I had cancer. I beat it so you can too. I am rooting and hoping you're still here...

Get of the piss then.

@@rorozoloc7706 thanks so much. much love

Hey brother, you've got this and I'm so happy to see you finding joy. Keep laughing and keep getting that heart-healthy pump.

FACTS!!

One of the most beautiful and important Bible passages.

2 is 1, 1 is none.

@@justtrustash Yes

Nope

@@andreimcallister1365 Yup

Nah, I think God started that war

Facts!!!! What’s the saddest movie that really got to her?

@@justtrustash My mother couldn't finish Schindler's List. Which is one of the best movies on a terrible subject, I have ever seen. I think it's one of the movies everybody should watch, in their lifetime...but I also understand if they never want to see it again. Powerful and moving, but about a terrible thing. But something we SHOULD know about.

@@99subetai Amazing film but so so tough to watch

@@justtrustash My ex gf cried so much watching phenomenon with John travolta, She was still uneasy 2 days later. I won't spoil content, but it was because her father had something similar and it just spiraled into an emotional mess.

What makes it better is how they always end it with love

Well done Jon that shows great spirit and personal growth.

Sameeeee

Anyone who says darn tootin is my kind of american XD yeehaw brother

But how many did he carry though?

@@andreimcallister1365 1000

It might be very accurate to the actual story in terms of the characters and events portrayed but it is very far from a “realistic” depiction of war. This movie has serious Hollywood influence regarding the details of combat and the overall action scenes.

@@namesnotrick3196 Okay

Accurate to the story yes, a realistic depiction of combat though? This is pretty far from the truth. If you want a realistic depiction watch Saving Private Ryan. Veterans especially attest that movie is probably the closest you will ever see to real combat.

Far from accurate and realistic but it is a beautifully made movie.

This, Band of Brothers & Saving Private Ryan really feel different compared to most. Band of Brothers does that build up so well, to make you care about them as people, and true to real life ever person had a life, family, love, friends, home, and things before they met their fateful days in war.

Mate that’s why I love her!!

Doss was a Seventh-Day Adventist. We are pacifist. We don't eat meat, we don't drink, we don't kill, we don't fight. That does not make us any less brave. Every single seventh-day Adventist child is taught (in Pathfinder's) to be a medic. The goal is to save lives because it's never ours to take. And any seventh-day Adventist in the military will save both the enemy as well as their company because it's never our place to judge.

Should have won more but politics again .

tbh if you just checked who won Best Sound Mixing every year at the Oscars, you'd have a pretty good idea what the real Best Picture was. The real Best always wins the tech categories (e.g. Dunkirk)

They don't like Mel Gibson and his work.

no way. They still havent watched american history x. come on

Lone Survivor for sure 🔥

The last outpost. 2 MOH recipients for that engagement.

lone survivor is a fake story, look it up

😂😂😂 brooooooo you knowwww

We need more humans like Desmond Doss

Well u actually need soldiers that can shout people, when its necessary

We wouldn't need soldiers if wars didn't exist

We don’t need soldiers at all

Also, for some of the films Hannah is so freaking spot on guessing what's going to happen, it's awesome to watch

Mate you’re probably new to the Chanel when I say “symbolism” I actually use it just because it winds my girl up and it’s fun to randomly say it 😂

@@justtrustash I won't lie: Watching Hannah get annoyed with you is quite fun.

Dad and brother, in order to inherit the will of these two people, lead Japan to victory, Let me recognize our martial arts at that dawn It is to bring it independently. Burma, Indonesia, and Korea should all have a way of independence as the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Area. " ⬛A tragic acquaintance that South Korea killed 朴鉄柱氏 "Park Chorju" (Korea-Japan Cultural Research Institute) Showa 42 It is said that the building of the "Korean-Japanese Cultural Study Group" of the 朴鉄柱氏 "Park Chorju" that I visited was devastated and it was hard to see.

The idea of ​​"Hakko ichiu" is a manifestation of Japan's grandeur, and it is necessary to actively inform the world. " "Japanese mythology is brighter than Greek and Jewish mythology, and has a scent of romance and is easy to get close to. Besides, Japanese mythology was compiled 400 years before Dangun mythology. I feel an inner familiarity with Japanese mythology This is because they believe that Japan and South Korea are the same ancestors. " Japan has a world-class imperial family and there is no break in history. South Korea, on the other hand, cannot be seen without tears in the history of severance following severance. The current loss of self-confidence of the Japanese is due to the defeat, but the Greater East Asia War was never initiated by Japan. Through peaceful diplomatic negotiations, he worked to the end to overcome the situation. Until then, Japan was the hope of Asia and a proud people. At the end, Hull Note was attached, and swallowing it meant humiliation. “The situation is here. Rather than sitting and waiting for death, we should fight and die.

Russo-Japanese War and Greater East Asia War, These two wars of abandonment changed history and Brought independence of Asian nations. No matter how much you emphasize this significance, it cannot be overemphasized. " "It is said that Japan was defeated in the Greater East Asia War, Rather, it was the Western countries with colonies, including Britain, that lost. Didn't they lose all their colonies in this war? 《Win or lose the war depends on whether you have achieved the purpose of the war》 [Klausewitz's theory of war]. Japan lost the battle and achieved the purpose of the war Japan won, The war in Japan was the "holy war." Some say that Japan's land was destroyed by the defeat, but I think this kind of thing could be recovered soon. Hundreds of thousands of war dead will certainly not return, but they will live forever at Yasukuni Shrine and Gokoku Shrine as spirits and will be the object of national reverence. '

Yup and Apocalypto too.
