Sledge’s Humanity – The Pacific (2010) #shorts #thepacific #movie #scene #ww2 #movieinsight #war

The Pacific is a 2010 American war drama miniseries produced by HBO, Playtone, and DreamWorks that premiered in the United States on March 14, 2010.

The series is a companion piece to the 2001 miniseries Band of Brothers and focuses on the United States Marine Corps’s actions in the Pacific Theater of Operations within the wider Pacific War. Whereas Band of Brothers followed the men of Easy Company of the 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment through the European Theater, The Pacific centers on the experiences of three Marines (Robert Leckie, Eugene Sledge, and John Basilone) who were in different regiments (1st, 5th, and 7th, respectively) of the 1st Marine Division.

  1. Sledge hears the soft breathing and voice of woman pleading from another corner of the hut. He follows the noise and sees an older woman, her face swollen and purple, struggling to breathe and repeating something to him softly. Sledge at first takes aim at her, then lowers his rifle. Struggling, her jaw slack, she lifts the cloth on what remains of her shirt and shows him her wound: her entire stomach had been torn apart. She reaches for the muzzle of his rifle and guides it to her forehead with one hand, then mimes with the index finger of her other hand that he should pull the trigger.

    Sledge almost does, then stops himself. He slowly puts down the gun, eases to the floor next to the woman, reaches over and cradles her in his arms, stroking her hair. She stares up at him and breathes a few more gasps. She pulls her face into his neck in a deep embrace, and as she stops breathing, she drops a child's toy that makes a jingling noise as it hits the ground.

    Snafu is waiting for him outside with a cigarette. When Sledge emerges, he asks if he found anything. "No," Sledge says coldly. He tells Snafu to help get the rest of the men in order. (Fandom: The Pacific Wiki)

    FYI: In the book, he tells he went in and did not shoot the woman. Another Marine went into the hut and actually killed her, per her request.

  2. People forget that even after Doolittle's raid on Tokyo the Japanese killed over 250,000 Chinese civilians as retaliation for the attack on Tokyo 😢😢😢😢😢

  3. I always look at the toy she drops when she dies. It’s just such a human thing to have. Maybe it was a gift from her mother, or an idol from her home. It gives a glimpse at a past life and it makes this scene just so damn gut wrenching.

  4. Episode 9 of the Pacific was such a brutally raw portrayal of war that I dont think even productions like Saving Private Ryan can hold a candle to it. They arrived in ankle deep mud mixed in with human remains and debris, fighting the Japanese in the driving rain, gain ground only to be ambushed by the Japanese using civilians as human shields and suicide bombers, then loose what few yards in ground they'd gained because they'd been shelled by their own artillery. Scenes like this just added to the already horrifying situation.

  5. Maybe I’ve gone soft because this maybe me tear up hard.
    The profile picture is dark humor, I’m not a racist.

    I couldn’t handle something this distressing without crying like a baby 😅

  6. The Japanese military during WWII were inhumanly brutal. They told lies of atrocities about the US Marines and Army to the civilians on the various islands they owned, leading to many committing suicide once our forces had landed and driven off the occupying forces.

    Which is ironic considering they, the Japanese forces, did that to the Chinese and the inhabitants of the islands they captured in the early sstages of the war.

  7. crazy because this is the exact opposite of what the japanese government told the japanese population that the american soldiers would be like. too many civilians dead due to the brainwashing of a country. the pacific theatre is a dark one.

  8. Prior to this scene, Sledge falls into a pit of putrid water, with a rotting body and maybe excrement. A commanding officer is calling for him. Sledge is drenched in rotting mud and maggots but he quickly reels in his disgust and horror, and forces himself up and goes to the officer.

    He's told some Japanese soldiers took cover in a hut on a ridge. Sledge is a mortar man and once struggled with the simple task of setting up the mortar. Now, he is trusted with coordinating mortar teams and giving them distances, angles, and directions.

    He radioes the mortar team and relays the target coordiates. They fire and miss. He immediately gives them adjusted coordinates and they fire again. Direct hit on the enemy hut. Japanese infantry charge them hopelessly across an open valley and get slaughtered.

    Later, they push up the ridge and inspect the hut. This is what Sledge finds.
