Action, War | Story of G.I. Joe (1945) | Robert Mitchum | Colorized movie | subtitles

[@pegzoconnor7205]

I love this movie though it brings me to tears every time. My father fought with Big Red One 16th Infantry anti tank North Africa , Tunisia, Sicily, Omaha Beach *Silver Star , to the Bulge. Didn't get to know him long passed away when I was almost 16. He didn't say much but he did say the true heroes never came home. When I think of all he and the others endured it almost breaks me. Originally from Northern Ireland he was proud to serve his country. Fond memories of him were his laugh, gentleness, good manners, love of his garden. I never heard my father swear in my life. And the simple things like a cup of coffee and a good hot meal he thoroughly enjoyed. He suffered much from the after effects of this war. How could he not have. God bless all of them from the greatest generation and all those serving Before and after ❤️🙏❤️

[@janjerge1484]

@pegzocorinov7205 - I know what you mean. No matter how many times I see this, I still cry at the ending - even though I know what's coming!! I have SO MUCH respect for my father, his brother (who survived the Death March at Bataan & then became a POW at one of Japan's most inhumane camps), and 4 other uncles who also fought in WWII, including the 2 uncles who didn't come home!!

[@thepeskytraveller3870]

I have family who fought in WWII. That is why movies like these hold a special place in our lives. They tell the stories those men who came home didn't tell us. We can only imagine what they went through. We keep their memory alive by keeping and respecting their militaria in a place of honour in our homes. May those who didn't come home RIP. Thank you for uploading this movie.

[@riconui5227]

Excellent among all war flicks. This focuses on the characters and makes no attempt to glamorize the role of the G.I. or spin off jingoistic tropes. Mitchum is so good as the combat weary captain. Burgess Meredith most commendable. The perfume scene was brilliant.

But that is war complete insanity. Men kept of fighting surviving and dying after Africa Italy France Holland right uptil Germany. WWII was a costly war and brave men paid the price. In Band of brothers ending Capt Winters said i sont but do folks back home realise how many good men we have lost in this war just to free Europe from the paws of evil ie Nazi Germany....

Very authentic. In so many small ways, this was real. From the way they wore their uniforms, to how they carried their rifles. So many veterans in the film industry by then, they didn't need to have an expert to tell them how to walk or march. The scene where they are crossing the river, and going down the embankment looked authentic. I felt I was there. I liked this film. BTW. Burgess Meredith gave his usual great performance.

Extremely well made movie loaded with the stark realism and tragedy of WWII and the realities of war in general. I was impressed with how well they integrated real combat footage within the film, to me it was better than todays hollywood special effects. I had three uncles in WWII but not one of them would ever talk to me about it as an adolescent. I didnt understand why then, but as I got older and learned the gravity of real combat I understood much better - God bless all those who went through situations so horrific and inhumane it left them scarred for life - and those were the ones lucky enough to come back.

You all know this is a true story ...right? Its the story of Capt. Henry T. Waskow. Mitchum plays the part but the name is changed for some legality issues. Burgess Merideth plays the part of Ernie Pyle who was killed about a year or so later. Ernie Pyle writes a specific memoir to Henry and his death. The ending of this movie will leave some teary eyed, no matter how tuff you might be.

This is a REALLY GOOD movie!! Robert Mitchum fit this role "to a T." The sound quality is very poor in places, especially at the start of the movie, but it gets better, or you get used to it (I'm not sure which)!! Has a level of reality you rarely see in a movie, although the language is much cleaner than what I think you might actually encounter in combat. It demonstrates not only how very innocent/naive these young boys were (MANY away from home for the first time), but also what deep bonds were formed!! Robert Mitchum was brilliant in his portrayal of what a toll this took on the officers!!

Pyle lifted he head and got popped in the head . That's all. He didn't die any heroic stuff or action, man. He was just a journalist that got killed by the machine gunner .

Fun facts; Robert Mitchum was drafted into the army as a medic stationed in Los Angeles. Mitchum was discharged as a PFC. Mitchum has starred in various WW 2 and Korean War movies as representing every branch of the military. Burgess Meredith enlisted into the USAAF First Motion Picture Unit in Hollywood, which makes propaganda films. Meredith was discharged as a CPT. Meredith and John Wayne were the same age and yet it was Wayne who dodged the draft. Fort McNair is named after LTG Lesley McNair who was in charge of all the army technical advisors for this movie. Another fun fact; LTG McNair was killed in action by friendly fire in WW 2. With friends like that who needs enemies. This was the only time Robert Mitchum was nominated for an Oscar. However Meredith would be nominated twice for an Oscar later in his career. Both Mitchum and Meredith died in 1997. Mitchum was 79. Meredith was 89. Ernie Pyle was killed in action at Okinawa in 1945.

Teraz wiem więcej. Ten film przybliżył mi realia tej bitwy, gdzie po amerykanach, brytyjczykach, kanadyjczykach przyszło polec polskim żołnierzom w wielkiej ilości, ale ostatecznie to oni zdobyli klasztor Monte Cassino walcząc o Polskę ❤

The location, Iverson Movie Ranch, really reminds me of Ft. Irwin.

Robert Mitchum narrated Tombstone. Enough said.......

1.45.45._As always in the war, there is a captain who substitutes another captain like the final of "The thin red line" (1998). It is the machine of war.

Yup field commission/ promotion. I had friend who got promoted in Vietnam by a general he helped out in some way. Didn't do him much good in the end. The Cong didn't get him, but agent orange did!, Many years of pain and suffering later!
