Yeah that soldier was brave trying to help pull him out in the first place. I wonder why he waited and chose him at random though? He seemed to have been there when others were taken first. Either way he saved the character’s life and I can only hope that everyone in the cage survived the fall and didn’t get crushed, impaled or die upon impact. Imagine dying in the crash. It’s honestly a sad way to go. I also am curious to know what they even do with the captured humans? I seen that they suck out our blood with that huge needle, but that literally grabs a person and pulls them inside. It seems to do it every 2-3 minutes too. Is it using us as fuel? Food for the aliens inside? I am very confused as to what they use the body for. I am curious to know.
UFOs have been reported to grab folks with a tentacle, dragging them onboard... but their outcome isn't as swift. Jonathan Lovette is an air force sergeant who was seen taken in New Mexico, I believe. Story is on youtube.
I love how it’s the soldier who was the first to show the courage to act since they are trained to perform under extreme circumstances. I also love how he immediately knows what Tom Cruise did when he spat out those pins and immediately told everybody to get down.
@@Stardustmiku Aye, they could've banded together to pull out as many people as they wanted, but eventually they would get tired and worn down by the relentless machine, piloted by beings that don't seem to need rest. Once they were good and tired it would have an easier time, and might be even harder on them for resisting. Besides, it might not even let them have a next time, it might have some feature to gas them to death or at least unconsciousness so they don't give any more trouble.
2:58 soldier misses timing on his attempt to save this man. You can see him coming in from the right side of the frame but he doesn't manage to grab a hold of the guy who is getting pulled in.
And A Complaint I Have Is Why Did The People In The Cage Ray Was In Not Help The Person And The Other People In The Past Get Sucked Up Into The Fighting Machines? Was this a sense of (sniff sniff) oh no….it’s plot armor….
Wells wrote this story as a response to British Imperialism and what it had done to indigenous people in far away lands. The screaming and pleading of the captured (2:19 - 2:40) are parallel to those of the aboriginals of the New World and how would it feel if the shoe was on the other foot..... A quote from the text of War of the Worlds “We must remember what ruthless and utter destruction our own species has wrought, not only upon animals, such as vanished bison and the dodo, but upon its own inferior races. The Tasmanians . . . were entirely swept out of existence in a war of extermination waged by European immigrants, in the space if fifty years. Are we such apostles of mercy as to complain if the Martians warred in the same spirit?”
The terror, despair and hopelessness showcased by the victims in the cage is just chilling. No escape, no hope, living every single moment in fear of the next being the one where you're chosen by the machine for a fate that's bound to be horrendous.
It really drives home how evil the aliens are. It's just sick that they're willing to murder people by grinding them up into fertilizer, even little children.
John Williams did such a fantastic job at scoring the music to this film. The general rule of films like this is to keep the uncanny going, where the familiar suddenly becomes unfamiliar. The dissonant horns, the highest pitches of the piccolos, combined with the glissando strings, and the muted trumpets on a higher register, the off rhythmic, unsteady stabs with the trombones, all helps keep the audience far away from what they are used to hearing from the orchestra. Mr. Williams is a music legend.
@@user-xh3ne3lf8y, you're welcome. Thank YOU for the upload. Music is often overlooked and oftentimes swept completely under the rug, but it's that incredible combination of picture, edits, and music that brings it all together.
That's actually kinda terrifying. To them, gathering up humans is no different than picking fruit. You didn't get taken like the rest of you family? Yeah. Because, you don't matter. They don't matter. You're not a person. You're a thing. And you're not worth acknowledging outside of my day job.
I've always thought this movie is the perfect example to use as an analogy towards how we treat 'lesser' animals or species in the world. We dont realize how screwed up it is until a higher intelligence decides to do the same to us.
I think this version of Spielberg tend to show us what you are saying. It show how cruel we are and what happened if superiors beings do the same with us. These aliens are also desesperate cause they need to terraform earth. If they can't, they know it's extinction for them.
One of my favorite movie scenes ever. Strangers working together during incredible odds to save someone and themselves. Spielberg showed the good side and bad side of humans in this movie.
people there are variations, and for the stupid I want to dedicate a song of lyrics... 🎶🖕🖕🎶. I was well satisfied, in short, the hunter or fighter is the one we see in almost the entire film from start to finish, its weapons are intense heat rays, and an Anti shield for almost everything. And horns and lights. The Harvester, is another variant of the invading machines, their appearances are near the end of the film. Its weapons are made up of a shield against almost everything, tentacles to catch prey and Cages and preparation tubes. The uberpod appears some penalties in the battle on the hill and there are 3. Its power is mysterious but most likely, it has the same weaponry as the fighter. shield, Rays of intense heat, and 5 lights and more gamer lights. It is the same, only for sure more powerful with the ability to command other tripods and a larger than average size (bear of tripods). That's it People :).
RIP the guy that got pulled up. You see the soldier on the left side trying to get them but he doesn’t manage to get them because he was too slow to get him but good that he managed to save the dad.
This is that movie that my dad watched and I was secretly watching being the couch when I was like 4 years old and it terrified me but I had no idea what movie it was and now I found it.
many people are saying that ray just got lucky that people desided to help him becouse they DID not help the guy before him, but if you see closely in the cage scene of the 2005 film, yous ee how the other people are ALSO triying to get him to NOT get grabbed
I always thought the most terrifying way to die would be to be sucked up in a butt hole shaped sucker attached to an alien pod with what looks like a butt worm coming out
I know, I've always wondered about those things, the ones in the original book are much more straightforward, they just pick them out of the cage, pin them to the ground and then use a tentacle with a syringe on the end to extract human blood, not for fertilizing, but for feeding, the red weed just sort of happens.
Yeah, that scene was an very weird and cringe like the sucker thing looked like anus from someone's behind, which was both gross and disgusting as well as disturbing to witness and see.
An odd thought struck me the other day, this may look horrifying to us because we are seeing ourselves being caged up by a foreign species, but is it any different to our treatment of the lesser creatures of this world or even our treatment of each other? I suppose that was the whole idea behind the original story, and Spielberg even though he changed a few things around did an excellent job of adapting the book and the message it conveyed. Edit: The other thing I find interesting is that there's all sorts of people in there, of different colours and backgrounds, for example that lady who was impotently screaming for help at 2:32 looked fairly well-to-do, at least in my interpretation, and of course the soldier, perhaps against another man he is deadly, but against these beings he is but an insect trying to sting them, an insect that can be swatted away or captured in a jar. In keeping with the original novel, perhaps this is Spielberg's way of conveying how things like class, race and military bearing would become utterly meaningless in such a situation. To these aliens it doesn't matter who we are, where we come from, how we were educated et cetera, to them we are nothing more than battery hens or wild animals.
@@Churros_are_Overrated I'd be a hippie alien going about in my colourful flower-power tripod freeing captured humans being all like "Stop killing the humans, man! They're an intelligent species, and this is their planet! Go free little fellas, nobody will hurt you now, I won't let them!"
@@satireisnotdead5804 you braver than me humans are mean as hell I’m sure you would try and pet one of the things you just saved from certain deatg and it launches a javelin at you first chance it gets it’s like when you save a snapping turtle on the road and it whips around at you
@@satireisnotdead5804 scared like a wild animal that’s why we make earth a big ol zoo and give everyone their own land to grow some human civilizations themselves. Very profitable. Then you can just turn the really mean ones into the redweed.
@@Handsome_HatA bit too late cause I already got confirmation that it's a soldier. Another comment on another video confirmed it. You can't see it very well, but apparently if you look close you can see the guy that gets pulled seems to be wearing some sort of camouflage uniform.
Honestly, Ray deserves a medal of honor and a victoria's cross for being the first one to take down a Tripod and saving 2 dozen lives. And also pointing out the birds in the end of the movie
It feels like the people in cages are used as fuel for the tripod itself rather than specifically to create fertiliser. That makes sense considering the fact that the tripod needs to continuously "consume" them one by one instead of just getting all of them in one go. Unless it uses the same blood as fuel and fertiliser. Being a thermodynamics nerd makes it so much worse. Whenever I see a big animal eat a much smaller one I think "yeah your life was worth this creature's 20 seconds of walking in terms of energy". The energy that will only be used to find and digest more tiny animals like you.
@@Cruzer871 Especially since this film is Taking Place in 2005 It's almost certain the Tripods Absolutely Got fucked by the Taliban and other Insurgent Groups in The Middle East After The Western Military and Local Armed Forces Got wiped Out 💀💀💀
@@dejanjakobovic9803 I mean, that still doesn't look like a very short fall. And even if the fall didn't kill you, you'd probably at least end up with a broken leg or two. And something tells me the aliens would probably notice, and turn the tripod back around to pick you up. And then you won't be able to go anywhere, cause you have broken legs.
We had a case in Surrey British Columbia where a hot air balloon caught fire and as it was ascending, the passengers had to jump out of the basket. They would jump out of the basket at 30 ft and many were seriously injured. This looks like a height of 50 ft and in reality a lot of these people would be seriously seriously injured or die from the impact with the ground it doesn't take very much distance from the ground to die or seriously impact from a fall
Bro, the British can only have peace to other countries like USA, Russia, Germany, France, Spain, and South America, Brazil, Mexico, and Ukraine and Mongolian

Fun Fact: The people who get taken into the ship are not ground up or killed. It's much worse: they are forced to watch every season of Two and a Half Men over and over for all eternity.
Hey lance, some people have been in the Military submission group for over a day now and they're complaining that they don't have the Military role yet.
To this day I still don’t understand why my mom who was a Sunday school teacher, hated horror movies and wouldn’t even let me play T rated games decided take me to see this movie in the theaters this movie straight up scared the hell out of 10 year old me 😱
I have a question! Can please somebody tell me are there any other alien writings on the tripod except near the cages on the back, I recall some other alien letters that I saw before, but I can't find em now! Help?
@@harbour2118 the ones near the cages probably say "pick one up at a time", haha. By the way, i found more alien writings on the tripod, except on top of the hood and near the cages.. by the way, can you imagine how many different types of tripods they've got on their planet? Like tri-headed tripod, octopus-pod, black smoke releasing tripods.. (in early versions of war of the worlds some of the machines release toxic black smoke) ^^^^^^
No sure, but it's a nice detail. Shows that the invaders are intelligences with a civilization, language. He'll probably a religion or any other concept that mirrors ours.
Grinded and turned into the red stuff that you saw at the start of the video. Apparently, the aliens spread that stuff around the planet so that they can actually inhabit the planet.
They eat them and turn their blood into red weed and since the aliens came from mars their trying to make earth a second mars and red weed is basically red/orange mars color so it’s like terraforming
3:17 the way she disassociates is chilling. Imagine how long it’ll take humanity to recover from this. Millions dead and that’s only from the aliens. Lots more bound to come from famines, possible disease outbreaks, general homelessness, ect plus the years it’ll take to actually get any kind of society back together while everyone deals with the trauma of being slaughtered like industry animals
They're grind, and others who have a good blood type are sucked by the machine. That's what WE Can see when they are on the basement. Also, people who are grind are needed for floral purpose on the red vine
Would've been interesting if the harvested people had growing red vines over them like cocoon even if they try to remove them it keeps growing on different shapes and forming
I'd say the opposite, this particular one was seems gentle, maybe because there's only two people. The ones on the Hudson after the ferry was capsized were a bit more frantic collecting people because there was hundreds of people
Look up the case of "Jonathan Lovette." He was taken by a tentacle like from these tripods, but they came from a saucer. He ended up being mutilated like the cattle people often find.
They travelled thousands of km because of a their powerful technology and intelligence, though they took one man with a grenade on him into the basket, very smart
Two thoughts on this. Could Ray Ferrier's arm have withstood the pressure of everyone pulling? Secondly, when the tripod fell, it most likely weighed over 100 tons easily. The impact with the ground would have knocked off a few people climbing down from the tree BUT. A great scene from a great movie
