She’ll shocked wasn’t widely known popularly outside of rumor. The diagnosis was something only the elite could obtain without being thrown in an asylum and be experimented on. Its truly sad, but I’m so grateful for the progress we have made and keep making
@@happyninja42 PTSD, or shell shock, wasn't really considered a formal psychological disorder back then, so people ignore it. Hell, they even mock the shit out of people with PTSD (especially veterans) back then since it was considered simply as cowardice or craziness. It took another world war, and several proxy wars to formally recognize it as a disorder and they still mock the shit out of people who has these too. Knowing RU-vid would delete this, imma just say "Shame on you" just in case.
@@jwoz8517only those who had it, knew it. We are really lucky to live in a world as stable and understanding as it is today. Yet we still have a long way to go. The people before us laid the foundation, we build the walls. But we have to build them in a way that nobody ends up on the outside of them.
I love the small detail that his head is not visibly shot, so they give off the illusion he is dead. The smoke, blood and timing all worked out in that one scene. Props to the movie director(s) and choreographers 👏
@Chozen357 Post Traumatic Stress Disorder is the modern name for it. During WW1-WW2, it was referred to as Shellshock, a mental affliction caused by traumatic experiences. In Danny's case, it came from the war
@@WeabooMoe its fully explained in the short. Its sheep brains instead of a bullet. Danny does die later in the show but its very heroically and with honour
@@laars2233 like a sheeps brain stuffed into a bullet casing, replacing the bullet. The big splatter of blood you see is actually the sheep's brains splattering on the back of his head
My great great grandfather was in WW1 as the same as this character. He said in an article in 1968 “I was never hurt, but I seen men killed and injured all around me.” He spent most of his 70s and 80s drinking with other veterans at a VFW post before dying in 1972 at 83. I can’t even imagine what he had went through. He was nearly injured/killed twice. Once by machine gun fire going through his trousers but didn’t hit him and another time with a mustard gas attack.
Yeah mate my dad has told me about how his grandad told him stories about ww1 and I'm sure no matter what we could never imagine how bad it was for them all in those trenches, and they had four years of it so every one of them must have seen absolute slaughter and all would have lost good friends. Its unbelievable that when an officer blew his whistle every man had to climb out and run towards German soldiers all shooting non stop and belt fed machine guns firing thousands of bullets. The poor guys who were having mental problems would get shot by their own officer for being a coward, it all sounds absolutely crazy and hard to imagine. Its all barely just over a hundred years ago too and all British men are lucky we weren't from that generation because we wouldn't have had any choice about going to fight or not and it must have just been luck wether you lived and got to come home. Then even ww2 again one of my grandads got back from Dunkirk and then became a bomb aimer in Lancaster bombers and my other grandad spent his 18th birthday crossing the river Rhine fighting his way into Germany, pretty much just kids still at that age aren't we I know I was anyway.
@@mattgosling2657 He sure was. He got the Distinguished Service Cross for running towards an artillery unit while they were firing at him and captured it all by himself.
@@TheYoungCollector mate your great grandad sounds like a very very brave man and it sounds like you're really proud of him which is nice, you should be. We can't even understand how bad it must have been for them all to be sent over there I've watched as many documentaries about it as possible theres even been ww1 stuff made in good quality colour and it looked terrible, rotting bodies lying around in the summer it must have smelled horrible bud.
My great great grandfather fought in WW1 against the Austrians on the Isonzo River, he lost an eye but still managed to break through the Austrian lines, through Austrian border and take their lands. My grandpa used to say he came home kind of shocked after the war.
“Hey this absolute tank of a British guy is rambling about some war outside my store, better pull a knife an- oh well I just immediately lost the fight”
Fun fact: Before he got shot, he asked Tommy, "Don't bury me somewhere muddy, bury me somewhere uphill." Dude maybe still alive after the war, but he truly died in that trench.
@@hawwndawg because him having fought in the trenches of WW1 he doesn't want to be buried/die in the mud and grime. Which the trenches and the entire area surrounding them were filled with.
Giving love to those who are children of vets and who are vets i miss my daddy everyday and i truly love my service men im sorry they lied to you I’m sorry your in pain you are loved and so important to so many of us ❤
I know typos and grammar the love is still there protection to those who are active love to the families who sacrifice their loved ones for what we hope is a safe protective return back to us ❤
@@mauroschreurs6609 It’s a command given to soldiers, telling them to attach their bayonets to the end of their rifles. It means that there is quite possibly going to be some truly nasty, up close and personal fighting happening imminently (whether you are going to charge the enemy with bayonets fixed, or they are likewise coming at your position and you are preparing to defend yourselves).
@@mauroschreurs6609 going close quarters (like arms length) while having access to ranged weaponry is bad, not only are you ill-armored, but you wouldn't have a lot of training with close-quarters combat (unless you have experienced that type of fighting) so it would mean bloodshed on a high level, meaning you have a higher chance of not going home to your family
@@finjo9673your eyes are shielded by the distance and limit of your eyesight, most times, you never really see just how much damage bullets do, but swords can paint a similar picture for you.
@@TrashPanda90914pretty sure we've marines still training today with fixing bayonets. Im fairly sure ive heard the koreans and most recently taliban found out about being on the wrong side of a bayonet charge...
@@Skylingalea lot of modern armies have bayonet training? Why are u lying. As a matter of fact the last bayonet charge was in Afghanistan when British forces charged Taliban forces after they were ambushed, it ended in Taliban forces being routed out of the area (after they set an ambush is crazy)
I've got a couple. "Tommy wanted you to think it was real". So Danny, thinking it was real, decided to flop forward and not move at all, after getting slightly hurt on the back of the head. He played dead, without knowing that was the plan, didn't even unconsciously reach for the back of his head. Tommy risked the plan working, leading to war and/or Danny getting drained, for the sake of maybe "knocking some sense into" Danny. They did it for surprising the audience, they should have left off the "he wanted you to think it was real" line.
@FFKonoko I believe he knocked Danny out cold. I thought of that for a while too and that line is only there for us just in case we missed something in that scene. Because yeah, it was a risk all around but as a soldier Tommy knew the risk but he also absolutely knew that Danny would be knocked out, maybe break his jaw on the way down. I just think Tommy knew what should happen. And luckily it did.
They really pulled a knife on a crying dude for literally just existing, and then got upset when their hyper-aggressive store owner finally catches hands lol
@kenesys8713 this show is set right after WW1 ended. It was common knowledge back then that millions of veterans were shell shocked. Also, why pull a knife on a crazy man? Lmao, dude was asking for trouble. The guy was just alone and not doing anything, and clearly not right in the head. I wouldn't pull a weapon, I'd leave him alone.
Tommy understood Danny. He saw Danny snap during the war and knows why Danny is the way he is. He also sees Danny in himself too. Danny also shows Tommy the upmost respect and still sees tommy as the man who made sure he came home from the war.
Getting shot with sheep brains must still hurt like hell. It certainly helps that he got shot from behind as he's already convinced that he's done for.
@@sparkyspinz9897 not really brains, but I reckon the closest real-life equivalent would be using soft wax mixed with blood and then removing the powder from the cartridge, leaving only the primer as a propellant. The sheep brains are likely just a figure of speech.
@@sparkyspinz9897people have tried shooting crazier things out of guns to varying degrees of success, im sure there’s a way to achieve the result seen here
Incredible scene Feels so real. No dynamic shots just a straight clear crack of the pistol and a splatter. No theatrics about recoil and super bass boosted "POP".
@@ColdNorth0628I know, right? That store owner clearly hadn't been on social media 4 hours a day, or he would've understood the situation. I mean sheesh!
The fact this was probably a more normal occurrence back then(as we had very little knowledge of how to properly assist Shell Shocked Soldiers)is heartbreaking to me. You can also see that he’s probably had to charge an enemy a fair few times since he did it so quickly and forcefully.He’s had to refine his technique before sadly.
Yeah the guys suffering from it over in the trenches used to get shot as cowards by their own officers cos they knew nothing about shell shock. Millions of innocent young men getting sent to fight because politicians decided it, then again in ww2 and even now theres talk of us going to war against Russia. Its absolutely unbelievable and non of the politicians or their sons would be expected to go and fight.
Unfortunately the Italian mans reaction was likely standard for the era, this to my knowledge is post WW1 and ptsd was not very well understood and wouldn't be classified as a mental health diagnosis until 1980 so reacting with hostility to someone acting like that on your property was likely normal for the time
I disagree because people still act this way today towards people with mental issues. People are too ignorant and stupid to stop and think maybe something is wrong with this person. Quick story: I once had to drag my ex girlfriend away from a group of trash women trying to beat her because she suffered from delusions and thought they were out to get her. So before they attacked her she confronted them for no reason at all due to the delusions and asked what their problem was which is what caused them to attack her. Luckily she was a tough cookie herself and managed to knock two of them out then I stepped in and dragged her away from the other 3. Threw her into the back of my friends car window and drove away. People never stop to understand what’s wrong with someone.
Ive often wondered why it was ww1 that really created ptsd enough for it to become accepted as a real thing. My guess is that it was either the lack of as much marching as was common in armys till that time. Perhaps it gave soldiers a chance to walk out the stress and keep mentally stable. I would feel like the incessant shelling and sustained fear in it would not be an entirely new mental stress that war never created till that point. Soldiers have gone through really tough sh** mentally in various ways throughout the history of human warfare. It seems unlikely that ptsd would just never be accepted as real even though it was happening commonly in battles throughout history. Something must have happened in ww1 that made it really take off. Idk. Maybe just mental strength of men weakening at a large scale during the industrial revolution for some reason? Something to do with city life as opposed to farm life? Idk.
@@benhail3624Or maybe, far more likely, it's just due to the absolutely enormous scale of ww1 and the fact there is literal millions coming home with ptsd worldwide as opposed to the lower numbers in wars before then. There's no question soldiers of all time periods experienced it, not just ww1.
This is one of the reasons why it is taught in self defense to not pull your weapon for fear. U pull it u use it. The attacker is never supposed to know what u have until it's too late
It also helps that the guy with the weapon wasn’t defending himself… he was the instigator. There was just a dude sitting there crying, that’s not self defense lol
Your weapon is an unfair advantage against those who wish you severe bodily injury or death. That’s why open carry in public is stupid, but this applies across the board with self defense. You don’t pull it unless it’s your last resort.
Also, if you're presenting a weapon, either in hand for shoe or emphasis or holstered/sheathed: whomever you're dealing with now has the situation escalated as "life or death", not just something with words both can come away from. They might have been able to talk or even get heated and walk, but now they're thinking you're saying "you or me".
“Fix bayonet and charge the last angry Italian while he bleeds out cause triangular dagger wounds are impossible to stitch up. Just as the leaky blinders intended”
1) don’t pull a knife on people in general. I thought you could rationalize consequences? How do you not understand “pull knife out = fight or flight response?” 2) Not a crazy man. He has PTSD. I also have PTSD. We are not “crazy.” It must be nice to live a life so privileged.
“I died over there anyway Tommy” such a sad line because it’s happened so many times. Too many times somebody goes to war one person and comes back another
PTSD is no joke, when I was im boot camp I met a lot of vets and some of them where way off. It’s sad that they allowed some of them to join swat knowing that they’re unwell.
Your take is wrong PTA’s can be treated and denying someone who serves our country a job opportunity is not the way to do it . Especially since many in the military have transferable skills that can apply to swat or law enforcement in general.
Fix Bayonets was a famous command that goes back as far as the introduction of black-powder muskets in warfare. It usually meant one of two things when ordered to fix bayonets; 1) prepare to charge the enemy in close-quarters or 2) get ready to defend yourself from an imminent enemy assault. Either way, it was for close-in fighting, where you could see the whites of their eyes. This was what the common foot soldier was all about and renowned for in the history of combat. Fix bayonets was the sign that something important was about to happen, and you personally were going to be part of it. Anyone hearing such a command would have an immediate heightened sense, one’s pulse rate would increase, and would have a greater awareness of your surroundings. In the attack, there is nothing more intimidating than soldiers attacking a position with bayonets fixed. This explains, in part, why so many Civil War soldiers broke into a disorganized retreat when faced with a determined enemy with bayonets fixed on their rifles. The psychological factor has always been part of the war. The terror of being stabbed with a bayonet would be thought of as a more significant threat than a bullet, the bullet technically being a superior killer on the battlefield.
In somalia they didnt care if we pointed rifles at them but if we had a bayonet on or had a pick handle wrapped with barbwire like Lucille in TWD they reconsidered their life choices quickly
@@bear76009Thank you for your service great sir I cannot believe the horror's you and your men went through over there in the war on the Somalian lands it must have been the worst of the worst either way we are just glad you made it back from those terrifying days 😂🤣

He pulled a knife on a guy sitting in a chair outside a closed store. If your first part of an encounter is to pull a weapon on someone who doesn’t know why you’re mad you’re going to get a fight or flight response not a,” why do your have a knife” 😂
@@e-zombie"that guy seemed dangerous so he tried get him to leave by making that guy feel threatened" - while he was clearly having some kind of episode. flawless logic right there 😙👌
@@e-zombie100000% in the wrong, if he makes a scene you call the police, not pull out a weapon, that how idiots die. If someone crying and screaming I am not going pull out a gun and threaten them, I am has likely to be shot and the person was only acting in self defense. If you thought process is violence first then you are going to die and get your grave pissed on. Act smart, get someone else do it for you.
@@e-zombieeither your doing bait or you would actually do this in this kind of situation and die, i hope for the former because i dont want people to die.
The biggest tragedy is that we keep creating them. I'm Ukrainian and when the war started I was way sadder about the hate and trauma it's gonna produce than about the deaths. It may sound harsh, but the dead don't care anymore, now the living keep suffering. The death produces suffering in the living.

Seriously that was a smart idea point a freaking knife to a person who is suffering a mental breakdown. Mostly during a post-war time. Are you have a lot of people with PTSD. If I remember by that time PTSD is already been really well known by the scientific community.
@@lorddoinkus9912 yahh but still the fact people already had a name for such problem. Means people would already understand not to do things like that around men like him.
@@ragnorockcookie2868 Absolutely, but just like today I'm sure people still walked by newspapers so there were people that were practically willingly ignorant. Crazy time back then, like their treatment was to shove an icepick in someone's eye socket and mush their brains. Crazy stuff
No, ptsd was not well studied and people did not know what it was that well at the time. People were ignorant of the mental disorder at the time and even now, still are.
@@ragnorockcookie2868 "People would already understand" - bro, you seems to forget what times you are talking about. Times were different. People with mental illnesses were put into asylums and treated like freaks. Not even mentioning that people were more careful and willing to fight over their lifelyhood. It's not like there were cameras and cops on every corner caring for your ass.
