As an old Navy Hospital Corpsman (Navy counterpart to Army Medics) I've known Doss's story a very long time. By the time of the battle of Okinawa Doss had already proven himself time and again having been twice decorated for valor for his actions in the Philippines and Guam. The Battle of Hacksaw Ridge lasted 5-6 days. The 75 was what Doss agreed to after insisting he only saved 25. Much later battalion records showed 140-150 men were saved by his actions. Many years later I was stationed on Okinawa. I was fortunate enough to visit Hacksaw. It is now a Peace Park dedicated to Doss.

Collette, the true Bible recovery story is even more amazing. Desmond's wounds required he be transferred to a hospital ship. While he was on the ship his unit found out he had lost his Bible. They scoured the battlefield until they found it. They did this even at the risk of their own lives. In this and so many other cases in the movie, "truth is stranger than fiction."

I think some facts around this movie is being blown out of proportion. Doss went to the medical ship all wounded did. Doss was hurt about two weeks after Hacksaw Ridge was taken and a few miles from Hacksaw. The unit did look for his Bible and sent it to him. The Bible arrived in Virginia before Doss did. How dangerous was the search for the Bible no one knows. I am sure it wasn't that dangerous.

The one objection to HACKSAW RIDGE is how Thomas Doss is portrayed in the movie. There is no evidence he was abusive towards his family. He did fight in WW1 at bloody Bella Wood. He did suffer PTSD which he turned to alcohol to deal with along with dealing with losing his job during the Great Depression. But there is no evidence he was ever abusive. After the War he gave up drinking The gun incident actually involved his brother-in-law. They got into an argument over money a gun was pulled, Desmond's mother got the gun away from the men and gave it to Desmond to hide (he was a boy at the time). It was at this time that Desmond swore he would never touch a gun.

[@_chris_brian]

I’m a Christian, and I struggled for years with trauma and alcoholism that I used to numb it, I grew up Christian but never believed truly, until alcohol started to kill me, I pleaded to the lord to save me and take away the anxiety and the need I felt for alcohol, it left me. I’ve never felt more close to god than when I needed him. It wasn’t like I just got a wish that I asked for, he comforted me and sent people who I needed to help me make it and even in the months before sent me warning and signs, he literally spoke to me. God won’t say audible words but he will show you exactly what to do we just need to trust and follow. There’s very specific signs and things he showed me that would take a lot of time to explain but from what I went through I know for a fact he will show me the way and I know he’s there. There’s no question. God blessed doss and he’s got a blessing for us all

This film is one of my favourites of all time, and the dad has a special place in my heart. For all he spoke poorly, he never once told either of his sons that they shouldn't join the army. He respected their decision from the start - he was just vocal in how much he hated the choice they were making, and he wanted them to understand what he was feeling and what he was worried about. But he respected their autonomy to the point of doing things he hated, like putting on his old uniform, to fight for their choices.

The Smitty Character is not real. He represents a mix of some real people Desmond knew. One was a man who befriended him during training. The man was wounded and Desmond got him back to the aid station. Later, when he went to check on his friend he found out he had died. The other real person actually antagonized Desmond during training. While fighting in the Philippines he asked Desmond to pray for him which Desmond did. The soldier survived the war.

It is important to point out his dad was a Marine who fought at the Battle of Belleau Wood, this battle was known for its extreme brutality and heavy losses. The Marines were outnumbered but fought to the last man and when they ran out of ammo, they fought mele and in hand-to-hand mortal combat.

[@Seastallion]

Something of further interest about the unit that Desmond Doss was part of (the Army 77th Infantry Division) was that it was an experimental unit made up mostly of older recruits, and Doss was actually one of the younger members of the unit who's average age was 32 when he joined up. They were used to see how well a unit of older men would operate in war conditions being pitted in war games against younger units as well as being exposed for long durations in harsh environmental conditions. As it turned out, they were a group of badasses dominating the younger units. The members of the 77th were mostly older experienced men with years of practical life experience behind them, and knew how to get the job done. They started being called "the old bastards" and became known as one of the most capable military units in the entire war. They were so respected by the other military units that the Marine Corp units acknowledged them as Marines despite being an Army unit. They proved to be expert military operators and were capable of getting missions completed that other units found impossible. By the time of this movie the average age of the unit was 35 years old. Their kill ratio was so high, and their prisoner takes were so low, that at the end of the war during the 77ths final battle their reputation was such that the Japanese soldiers they were fighting refused to surrender to them out of fear. In response, the 77th dressed their younger new replacement recruits in different uniforms (without their distinctive blue statue of liberty patch) and pretended to be another unit to get them to surrender. It succeeded and afterwards the unit was disbanded, but not before becoming one of the most highly decorated military units in US history, receiving 6 Medals of Honor (one going to Doss) and very large amount of other very high level medals and awards. The KZbinr "The Fat Electrician" has a great video about them.

The Japanese would often sacrifice themselves in attacks that would take an enemy soldier with them. The most famous example were the kamakazi attacks against allied ships. On land they were often told to single out medics under the impression that it would break allied morale. It affected morale, just not the way that they expected. There's a saying, at least in the American army, "Don't mess with Doc or the LT." That usually had a bad result for the enemy.

The differences between the theaters of war with the Japanese and the Nazi's were nuts. That intense fighting spirit of the Japanese is what lead to President Truman deciding to drop the atomic bombs on Japan.

Not to mention the civilian population in Japan was mostly radical and would fight and die for the emperor. Calculated losses for an invasion of Mainland Japan would have been astronomical.

Fun fact. Desmond Doss was a part of the 77th infantry division. It was an experimental division consisting of entirely older men. Most older than 30 the oldest being 54 if I remember correctly. They proved to be the most effective division in the US army to a point where they were called to come in when some other division was struggling. They got the nickname of "old bastards" from being so effective. Their effectiveness was caused by the soldiers being older. They had experience dealing with life's problems so it was easier for them to adapt to the battlefield. Their effectiveness slowly trickled down because so many of them died and the replacements were young men like Desmond Doss. At the end of the war one Japanese island refused to surrender to the 77th because they had heard horror stories about them. For a good reason, as effective as the 77th was they weren't too keen on taking prisoners. In fact they took the least prisoners of any US division while also holding one of the highest kill to death ratio.

At 57:12, the whole reason Doss threw his helmet was to try and draw out the sniper. Sgt. Howell would search for a muzzle flash, the sniper moving to cycle the bolt, or even the sound of the rifle itself. He was able to sight in the sniper and take him out, thanks to Doss acting as a decoy.

[@CimmerianAssassin]

The main reason why they did not make a story about this is pretty much because Doss's real career is EXTREMELY more harrowing than this that it is pretty much unbelievable, they cut out earlier battles because some of the stunts he pulled would make people believe what he did was all fake. So Mel Gibson actually dulled it down in order to make it more believable for the audience.

This guy is the true definition of war hero ( I don't mean any disrespect to other war vets who are also heroes) but Doss went well above and beyond the call of duty to save wounded soldiers and to fight a war without a weapon to protect himself that takes a extraordinary person to go into the Hell of war and combat unarmed

Andrew Garfield is amazing with accents (no pun intended lol). The fact he is British and has to put on several different Amercian accents for his movies is mind-blowing.

Another day, another reaction to this movie. Thank you! And God bless u! Thank god for Desmond Doss! He shows us whats possible if u have God truly on ur side and unwaivering faith! Most familys were affected by this war more or less. My great-grandfather was in the regular german army, he got sick in Stalingrad and was lucky enough to get one of the last medical planes that made it out of Stalingrad, before the city was surrounded and the airfields were conquererd, leading to the death of nearly everyone left there. He became a cementary gardener and was active in his church managing the church youth group. My great-grandmother, his wife, survived the firestorm-bombing of Dresdens beautiful wooden city center pregnant with my grandfather, climbed out of the cellar of the burning house with my grand-uncle, who was only few years old. My grand uncle suffers from this childhood trauma of seeing the flames in the sky above him, the burning city with asphalt of the streets burning and people too, up to this day. He cant do campfires or barbecue because of it. He became a peace activist and state youth preacher of the evangelic church, fighting the atomic bombs arms race in socialist east germany. The east german secret service did its worst to stop him, monitoring him with many inofficial spies, writing threatening or badmouthing letters to his wife, neighbours and friends, even trying to kill him with a big sabotaged tree branch once. But because of those peace protests, and also his biblical symbol of the prophecy "Swords will be turned into plowshares.", that he printed on textile to avoid cencorship rules and distributed among the masses as a symbol of protest, east germans protested peacefully each monday until the system collapsed and germany reunified, without civil war. God will use u for great things if u put ur faith and abilities in his hands. Amen.

As a non Christian I appreciate your reaction and explanations on stuff that’s Bible related that I didn’t catch on to. it brings more understanding to those moments and it’s really interesting. ❤

The Army estimated that Desmond Doss saved over 300 men during his service as a combat medic. He was involved in 3 major campaigns, Guam, the Philippines, and Okinawa. He not only received the Medal of Honor, but also earned 2 Bronze Stars, and 3 Purple Hearts. One of the men that served with Doss stated that he lost count of the number of times Desmond should have been killed. BTW, there were numerous Japanese soldiers that Desmond was unable to help because whenever he approached them they would try to kill him. The Japanese he was able to provide aid to were so badly wounded that they couldn't resist.

45:26 - There is no need to apologize for showing genuine reactions when watching movies. It actually makes the YT videos MUCH more relatable and interesting to watch than other regular "reactions" streamers who are shallow, you know? Take that other girl who also has a YT channel reacting to movies, called "LiteWeight Reacting" for example: she is known for crying a lot during her reactions (even in horror movies, if there is a drama scene she'll ball over) and that amps her videos so much, because she is genuine and does not hold back tears when EVERY-body knows they are supposed to happen. So be yourself, Colette. Scream, cry, do not hold back. We are human, and we gotta express ourselves. Also, just as an extra bit of history curiosity: 49:08 - Yes, the japanese were famous for killing themselves in order to take down as many opponents as possible with them. "Kamikazes", I believe you heard that term. It was originally used for pilots riding their airplanes into ships or bases, but this suicidal ideal was dug deep into the minds of all japanese soldiers. If you were japanese heading into war and your seargeant said you were all kamikazes, it was your patriotic DUTY towards the country to die fighting, no matter the costs. If you were kamikaze and returned home after the war, that was it for you... shunned from society, a coward because you could not kill yourself in the line of duty. Post-war kamikazes would live in disgrace and face PTSD because of the constant backlash from your family, friends, society and etc. The latest Godzilla movie (Godzilla Minus One) has a disgraced kamikaze as a protagonist, who also survived the war and now had the chance to "redeem" himself facing the huge monster Godzilla coming to Japan. He would take a new airplane and go down with him in order to regain his family honour, or at least that was the original plan... no spoilers here. :)

Hey, Mz. Cherry, I have 2 suggestions for soldier appreciation. 1- look into soldier interviews. My favorite is when they bring 2 soldiers together to talk with each other. 2- Cinnabinge channel. George has watched someway movies with his father, a tank-er from China. His father's insights and perspective are wonderful.

In real life he rolled off the cot while being carried away and made them take another in his place. While crawling back he was shot twice more. He also saved 125. The real story was so incredible they toned it down because no one would believe it.

Thanks for another intelligent reaction Colette, no need to apologise for a genuine scream here or there 😘

[@E3W2A]

Some other war films you would like are Lone Survivor (2013), Black Hawk Down (2001), We Were Soldiers (2002), The Last Full Measure (2019), Taking Chance (2009). A lot of great war films out there. Just a few more for you to continue the journey in the genre.

[@the.dinkster]

I recommend We Were Soldiers for your next war film. Its about the Vietnam War. Fantastic movie.

[@Reaper43X]

I went to fort Jackson for basic combat training about 10 years ago (same place in the movie) so it was cool to see in the movie. Drill sergeants are pretty much the same. They yell and cuss and talk down to you. It’s to crumble everyone down equally to the ground, then as training goes on everyone rises from the ground to soldiers of equal value. It sucks but by the time you get to the end of everything and especially years after you look back and realize it wasn’t that bad. It turned me into the man I am today. Not perfect by any means and I still make mistakes but I am able to recover and realize my mistakes.

[@gilbertquintanar7160]

Thank you for another outstanding review, and commentary. Colette. Aww, you are a Christian woman, intelligent, and beautiful. What a winning combination. You are AMAZING!

[@arkikali5632]

This was my first time watching a reaction from you, and I loved it. Thanks also for talking about your faith. I'm a new Christian myself, but I was touched when you said you find yourself doubting sometimes. I think we all do. I don't know if this will help you, but I figured I'd mention it. So a few weeks ago, I was reading a book on theology / God's sovereignty, and it had tons of Bible verses in it and it was fairly short (like 100 pages), so I figured I'd just do that instead of my nightly Bible readings. And I guess about the fourth night or so, I just found myself kind of stressy and a little on the doubtful side. So I yanked out John (that was the book I was reading through before diverting to the theology book) and turned to the final chapter because it's after Jesus's resurrection. Anyway, I immediately felt calmer, more centered, doubts back in the box, etc. I think doubting is normal, but I think our daily prayers and daily reading of the scripture helps with that. Hope that helps. Bless you! 💖

FYI - shellshock is just ptsd. They didn’t have the term at the time and had used that to describe the condition. It was later discovered and reclassified to be PTSD after years of medical research. Also another grenade trick would be to put the helmet over it. You’ll still take some damage but it would more survivable

The helmet would be turned into shrapnel

The documentary on his life is definitely worth a watch. They used some of the clips at the end of this film. The book is excellent as well.

36:12 during ww2, the Japanese took honor very seriously. In a lot of cases it was that you fought until you died, and if you didn’t die it was seen as dishonorable. 36:43 the things being fired from the battleships and other naval vessels are shells, not bombs. They have the same effect because they were using high explosives shells, but instead of falling from the sky the shells are propelled at high speeds towards the target 40:52 the soldier that couldn’t move didn’t have shell shock. Shell shock develops later, as it is a form of PTSD that takes more time to develop, and is usually prominent after a soldier comes home from war. The man was likely so frozen with fear that he couldn’t do anything. 41:40 what they were loading into those tubes were rockets. That tube was a bazooka, which fires a rocket. There are different types of rockets, and they were probably using one with a lot of explosive filler, hence the big explosion.

I'm a weird one i guess in some ways, i don't believe in god, religion, or spirituality of any kind BUT watching movies like this, and listening to peoples belief for some reason just does something to me inside... I wish i could believe, maybe i'd be a happier person, maybe life would be different. I do love seeing people believe in god, believing in something greater than themselves, living life in a way to not be selfish but thinking of the bigger picture. This movie is phenomenal, Mel Gibson movies are something special for sure! btw for those who don't know there's a new passion of the christ next year (2 part movie) the acting, the story, the visuals, everything about this movie is very well done. Love your reactions Colette, have a wonderful weekend!
