BJ is correct… the 96th was an Infantry Division (one level above Regiment / Brigade). The division suffered just over 2,100 killed and about 14,500 wounded in the Battle of Okinawa.
So many people get butthurt when I criticize this movie.
What this movie captures that most movies don't : It takes courage to pick up a combat rifle, sword, knife, etc. with prior knowledge that your craft with it will be utilized to take lives. Just because the enemy is a man doesn't mean he wasn't once, or is no longer a boy. It doesn't mean that he doesn't have a family praying for his safe return. I also had my Basic Training at Fort Jackson in 2014. I specifically remember the feeling when I'd gotten my training rifle, a real M-16.. after so many years of seeing it on screen. It felt incredibly deadly in my hands. I stood, shocked at the Specialist who'd given me it like he was out of his mind because it wasn't just me who was having this moment of profound experience, I'm sure. There's so many emotions I got from it in just that moment in life. And then some time after we got our weapons, our very religious Drill Sergeant (he still cussed on shift) marched us off elsewhere and I swore he sounded just a little bit different than all the times before.
Another great movie with soldiers, also based on true story is Unbroken
I wasn't a fan of this movie. The way the unit treated Desmond Doss was mostly made up. They accommodated his request for attending church. The court scene was completely made up. Mel Gibson had a great opportunity to tell a real life story by including amazing true parts of Desmon's story, but Mel Gibson completely ruined it by making up the most critical moments of the movie.
Some people are just,,,,,,special. War is a meat grinder. ????
No Asia, he is right. Soldiers go to war, not knitting class.
Asia you're stunningly gorgeous
Did you guys watch Fury yet? It's a good watch. Check it out, if you haven't. ?Mind blowing.
Heros wear Dog Tags. Hope you guys are having a great weekend! Much love and respect❤?
Mel Gibson is a great director
There are some innacuracies about the history itself but it's still a good movie because it serves the purpose to remember who is, to me, the greatest hero. Thanks for sharing this, blessings for you
I found this movie on a fluke one night and when I tell you I cried like a baby seeing the real Desmond Doss at the end of the movie. Man! I had no idea it was a real person. I ended up doing a deep dive on him. He was truly an amazing man.
Great man, great movie, great review.
as a seventh day Adventist he didn't eat meat so the entire time in battle he was malnourished.
UGH BOUT TIME!!!! Im so happy yall reacted to this. Yall are fav reactors right now, and having just watched this movie again in a long time, i thought to myself how much i wished yall would watch it to. Im literally about to watch your reaction again just because it was so good and intense and i love yall. RUN IT BACK
Hey, guys! I’m a long time follower of your reactions and love the job that you do! I’ve read that Desmond had actually brought over 100 men down Hacksaw, and that they spent 8+ hours trying to find his Bible! The reason that they only said 75 men in the movie was that they were concerned that people would have had a hard time believing that!
It's interesting that the first "surrendering" Japanese soldier to throw a grenade appears to be the one Doss bandaged in the tunnel, as he has an American bandage on his shoulder – in the same spot that Doss applied it to the guy in the tunnel.
The dad is also Elrond the elf in lord of the rings!
I've seen many reactions to this movie and yours is the best.
You two are the best. Thank you
Feature Kingdom of Heaven next.
Thank you for reviewing this film. God bless you two.
Please check out Society of the Snow, it is so good! Love your reactions!
I saw this movie a couple times , even watching this reaction still brought up the emotions just knowing that this battle really happened and the Man really accomplished what he did. I hope there are more people like him these days, To God be the Glory for the strength he gives to a few.
For some reason, when he speaks at the end, as soon as he does, I bust out crying. Movies are one thing, but when the real deal happens, it's another thing.
Don't forget, Desmond Doss didn't eat meat. He spent a lot of the war basically starving..
Wow. Today is the day of the Lord, apparently. Just went to see Toby Mac live in concert and now I see you two are reacting to Desomnd Doss's story. Can't wait to watch.
Desmond was a True Hero with incredible conviction in his faith.
I took my wife to this movie when it was in theaters. She never did ever see the whole movie since she had her hands over her eyes for the whole second half of it.
Do some additional research on Desmond Doss. The story is much more than what the movie shows. The video clip of Doss on the television show "This is Your Life" was real and Doss was noticeably embarrassed. He didn't want any notoriety for his service but didn't want to be rude when they surprised him with the show. It took years before people met his minimum standards to make the movie you just watched. He was more than a nation's hero; He was the epitome of a humble man.
Sorry for the "alternative route":
Every time I read or hear "Virginia", I always think of South Park-episode "Reverse Cowgirl" and the following exchange between Clyde´s mom and Clyde in the middle of class with all his class mates around.
Clyde´s (angry mom) about him not letting the toilet seat down: "If I had sat down, I would have gotten toilet water all over my vagina." ?????
Clyde: ?????
Butters: "My grandma is from Virginia." ?????
Me: ????????? Thanks alot, South Park! ?????????
I was in the Army Infantry back in the 70's our medic didn't carry a weapon, it was because of the Geneva convention that recognized medics as non-combatants. However, though the Geneva convention said that medics weren't supposed to be killed because they were non-combatants, they were often a favorite target of the enemy.
There is a documentary called medal of honor you will see many stories that will suprice how amazing the corage of some people could be.
the bowline on a bight is NOT the bowline. but no sane person would use a simple bowline as a rescue knot. the 2 loops of the bight gives a nice chair for the injured person to sit on, sort of.
best war movie ever…this why hundreds of thousands of men and women had PTSD after WW1 and WW2 ….so much death and blood.
"In peace time sons bury their fathers. In war time fathers bury their sons." That line gets me every time I watch this.
If there was a title above hero, he would be it!! "In case nobody told you, I love you" is all I wait to hear at the end of every video!!! "Peace and Blessings" from BJ too!! Aloha from Hawaii Y'all!!!
I love you guys so much! Race or color doesn't mean a thing! I wish that the rest of this world could see!
Hey Asia & BJ, I love your reactions, idk how you take requests but you consider doing "The Wood" staring Omar Epps? (if you haven't already seen it) YouTube just made it available for free. It's a nostalgic comedy that is fun to watch and it would fit this month since it's a all Black cast.
Great reaction and an amazing movie.
Thomas Doss was a WW1 vet who fought at the battle of Belleau Wood. He suffered greatly from PTSD This was a 26 day long battle. That was the USMC first major battle in WW1. It was trench warfare. This ment constant shelling from enemy artillery and almost daily hand to hand combat. In this battle both the French and British retreated leaving the Americans standing alone against the Greman Army. This is where the Gremans gave the Marines their nickname Devil Dogs. Because when asked by the Greman high command why the Germans had not taken the USMC posted. The Greman officer told the High Command. That it was like fighting hell hounds or Devil Dogs. Because they refused to give up ground and fought more fiercely than the Gremans had ever incountered before. At its end of the 26 day long battle there were over 9000 US Marines and soldiers that were either wounded or kill.
Bj got the right idea…just let the woman think she's right ?
The prayer scene where the army waited for him to finish praying didn't happen…like that. The general above already knew Doss and after being notified purposefully delayed the attack that Saturday morning for Doss.
If you saved 1 persons life you would remember it forever. Imagine doing what he did. RIP to all our brave soldiers and heroes
My grandfather was in ww2.. had just married my grandmother before he went. She gave him a bible. He kept it over his heart. He was shot but bullet lodged in metal case Bible was in. I have it and have enclosed it in a glass box. One of my most cherished things ❤
Asia's reelin' pretty hard ?
How this guy look like T-Mac and Vince Carter at the same time
Lone Survivor should be next!
I learned about Desmond Doss in 1998 while I was in the Marines. We were doing a battle site tour and the tour guide was telling us about him while we were at the actual Hacksaw Ridge. The tour guide told us that a conscientious objector medic, unarmed, single handedly helped 75 men escape Hacksaw and my initial reaction was "No freakin' way that's possible". I was wrong. This is one of my favorite Medal of Honor stories.
Desmond Doss is one of the bravest and most heroic men to serve the United States. Ever.
