Guys you NEED to watch APOCALYPTO, Directed by Mel Gibson–I think it is one of his best, and unlike anything you've seen–and the Heroine reminds me of Samantha (whenever my wife and i talk on the phone now, we greet each other by saying "HELlo" just like Samantha does at the top pf each video)–anyway, I would love to see you guys react to this unique film, to me it is truly like stepping back into time into another world that no longer exists. CHECK IT OUT!
BTW BIG fans from Austin, TX–I turned my wife Amy onto you guys a few months back, and now she is hooked just like me. Keep up the great work!
No one can convince me God was not with Desmond Doss
Этот фильм на уровне "Спасти Рядового Райна" часто его пересматриваю.Очень много видно,какие люди на войне.Проявляются плохие качества и так же героические)
I suggest Platoon!
there are some stories from wars that are so fantastical they seem make believe this is one of them but in all of those cases we may be missing some details but usually so many people back up that its at least close to what happened its crazy. they are short but the infographics show on youtube covers alot of these stories. they are wild.
You guy's should see the movie we were soldiers
another movie directed by mel gibson that gets no play is ‘man without a face’. he directed it early in his career and it has an award winning performance y a young nick stahl.
He saved more than 100 men but claimed to have only saved 50, so the military went with the in between number of 75. There were moments where Japanese snipers had him in his sights and tried to shoot Desmond but his gun kept jamming, as if he were protected by God.
We Were Soldiers is another war film I have to recommend, also based off a true story, adapting off the book written by General Harold Moore.
On newsreels in theaters: Before television, the only way of seeing moving pictures of what was in the news was to go to the movies and watch the newsreel. In the ‘60s, that time had passed but there would still usually be a cartoon. Once in awhile there would be a short film before the feature.
Because of widespread abuse of conscientious objectors in WWI, there were policies and procedures in place before WWII to deal with them. Even today, it can be a challenge to get the Army to follow them.
In actuality, this part of the battle went on for 10 days.
Desmond was very humble about it. He claimed to have only saved around 45. Various eyewitness accounts put that number closer to 100-125. So, the Army split the difference at 75. It's true. Mel Gibson toned his story WAY down, so it would be easier to believe. By the time Okinawa happened, Desmond was already highly decorated, having received at least 1 bronze star and more than 1 purple heart.

I dealt with that my entire childhood through young adult (up to age 22) life. It was awful.
Did you guys react to Apocalypto yet? Now… that's a ride….
Thought this would be of interest to you it the story of Desmond Doss "The Conscientious Objector" https://youtu.be/xvXAZhGngVY
When the first attack happens it caught me off guard and scared the shit out of me and definitely one of the best war movies out there.
Also underrated was the actor playing his father haunted with everything from survivor's guilt to the demons no witness to the horror of war can completely vanquish. Look at his eyes when he and Desmond are in the cemetery as he says, "I don't want to visit my son's here" only to hear Desmond say, "I already signed up, Daddy".
Oscar worthy, too.
The threat of prison was because his commanding officer gave him a direct order that he disobeyed.
Please react to Unstoppable 2010, you guys will love it.
I'm behind on my war films but what an amazing film and story. Thanks for reacting!
Doss claimed he only carried about 25 down, estimates put the number over 100 so they decided to call it 75 men.
I love this movie. I always rewatch this movie every year on Veteran`s Day. also, the scene where He almost killed his brother reminds me Cain and Abel type of move.
Nice
When I was a kid reading G.I. Joe comics there was a character called Lifeline that wouldn't touch a gun but would risk his life to save people that sometimes had disdain for his refusal to wield a gun, when I saw this movie of this extraordinary tale, I've always wondered if Lifeline was based on Desmond Doss. Fantastic movie and reaction. Can't believe this came out in 2016, feels like over a decade ago I first saw it.
