Great reaction. It’s about a soldier who was hit with a land mine and lost his legs, arms, his ability to feel, talk, hear, smell, and feel. He doesn’t know if he’s awake or asleep. They are debating whether or not to keep him alive. Based on a book, and the video has clips from two different movies. One of the greatest videos ever made. The part where he cries for his mama always gets me. Some good lines: “Death has a dignity of it’s own.” Also, when his dad tells him every man has to face death alone. My favorite is between the priest and general. 11:09 The General: Don’t you have some message for him, Padre? The Priest: He’s a product of your profession, not mine. 🤯☠️ That is rough! That’s a deep line. Be safe. ❤ y’all.

[@carlranson9160]

The movie is available on youtube, it’s even more upsetting than this track

[@chungin955]

the clips are from the same movie. present time is in black n white while dreams and flash backs are in color

[@Metal_Mary]

He can feel pain. In the lyrics, 2nd verse last line it says, "Nothing is real but pain now" so he feels pain. This song makes me cry everytime I hear it, and live is Even 10x better!!

[@mokane86]

I agree with pretty much everything you say… But, the cut up clips make it hard to tell, but it is one of the doctors who asks the military clergyman “padre” for the message. The military clergyman is saying that this person living in torture is a product of MEDICINE AND SCIENCE, not specifically War (which would have sent him off to afterlife if not for the docs “experiments”)

[@TEXICANROCKNROLL]

This is from a movie called "Johnny Got His Gun" About a soldier who lost his limbs, his sight, his hearing and his speech in battle. An absolutely haunting movie about the realities of war

[@jayroo9260]

Based off a book of the same name by Dalton Trumbo

*Some Metallica facts for ya: One being that they've been together for 42 years this October, are still touring, and still putting out albums. Two of the original members are still there (James, singer and Lars, drummer) Kirk Hammett has been with band for 40 of those 42 years, and Robert Trujillo (bassist) being the newest has been with Metallica for 20 years. Metallica is the first band ever to play on all 7 Continents, has won nine Grammys. has played with the San Francisco Symphony, played at San Quentin prison, and played the soundtrack for Mission Impossible 2 after Tom Cruise gave them a private screening of the movie, persuading them to do it. Elton John covered Metallica's "Nothing Else Matters" while saying it was one of the best songs ever written and that Metallica was one of the greatest bands of all time. That kind of acknowledgement from someone like Elton John is one of the biggest compliments anyone could get. You can put on one song and be in full aggression mode, horns up, head bangin' and the next song you can rock your baby to sleep. Metallica is just the shit!* 🤘🤘🤘

[@argantyr5154]

Another Fun fact, James Hetfeld is a big Western Fan, which is the reason why Metallica always opens their live shows with "Ecstacy of Gold (by Ennio Morricone from the Movie The good, the bad and the Ugly)". Also Metallica was heavily criticized by hardcore Fans, when this came because they thought they had "sold out" by making a Music Video (this was their first Music Video), this was back when MTV was huge.

[@aWhimTested]

Some years back, Metallica had a European tour and they did a little experiment. Once you bought your ticket online, you were directed to a website where you could vote for the 18 (or however-many) songs you wanted in the set list. They then took all the results for each stop on the tour and honored the results. #1 pick on every stop was master of puppets, #2 pick on every stop was THIS song

[@mitchellbeston1033]

This song is about a soldier that stepped on a mine and lost his legs, arms, eyesight and hearing. He's just a living being laying on a bed. Wants to die but cannot, with no way to tell them he wants to die. Great reaction bro!!!

[@justawhisperintheuniverse8257]

I recommend listening to the studio version. Then, watch the video again and see how they wove in the movie footage to tell help tell the story of the song. You have to separate the two, but the way they are related is perfection. I've still not brought myself to watch it, but the movie is "Johnny Got His Gun."

[@donniemeece1411]

You are an intelligent dude. I love how you broke down your thoughts and the song. And the way you explain what you are thinking. Very well done! 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@gvehar]

The movie the clips come from is Johnny Got His Gun, as others have noted. It’s based on the classic book by Dalton Trumbo that everyone should read, even though it’s pretty grim. Trumbo wrote and directed the movie as well. He was blacklisted from Hollywood due to the McCarthy hearings (it’s a long story, look it up) and Trumbo was remarkable enough to have a movie of his life made recently. But the book is the point, and is a story everyone should read.

[@robertcampomizzi7988]

There is a movie about him Brian Cranston plays Trumbo

[@davidsandman2651]

Loved the reaction man! The song is based on a story about a WWI soldier who was blown up. Dalton Trumbo was the author and the book is titled Johnny Got His Gun. I love the fact that you appreciate the deepness of the lyrics and the meaning of the song. Your reactions are wonderful. Keep it up😊

Grew up in this music. I am loving seeing the younger generations appreciate it the way we did. Especially folks from other cultures. We had no idea at the time that our generation would be the last to make great music. BTW this song is based on a great movie called Johnny got his gun. Must watch

Shon, I have lived through 7 decades of music (so far). I have so many suggestions, I don't know where to begin. But, you are already sampling some greats. The 50's and 60's I think are my favorite decades The 70's are 2nd. However, I LOVE rap. Eminem is my fav.

[@adamhutchins1981]

I saw Metallica in concert in 2000, the Summer Sanitarium Tour. The tour consisted of Metallica, Korn, Kid Rock, Powerman 5000, and System of a Down. Metallica played this song as their final encore. They had left the stage (after two prior encores). The lights hadn't come up yet. I knew we hadn't heard this song, and I was hoping they would close out with it. Suddenly, you started hearing distant machine gun fire. Then the sound (very realistic, I might say) of helicopters flying overhead. More machine gun fire. I already knew what was coming. Off to the side, some pyrotechnics went off in a simulated bomb blast and fireball. Then another one off to the other side. More machine gun fire and helicopter sounds. This went on for what felt like 10 minutes, just building in intensity, with more pyrotechnics going off. All of a sudden, one single blue light shone down center stage. It was the only visible light, amidst the sounds of chaos. In the middle of that beam of light, James Hetfield was standing there, and started playing the opening notes to the song. The crowd erupted in a giant uproar of cheers and screams. They killed it. It was an awesome experience, and a hell of a way to end a phenomenal rock show.

[@talenvongunden8112]

Side note. I wanted to say, I wore a Metallica shirt 5 days a week to middle school. I was that kid. Which in some ways it was fire in some ways it made me an outsider

The Metallica video samples the movie Johnny Got His Gun. Joe Bonham (Bottoms), a young American soldier during World War I, awakens in a hospital bed after being hit by an artillery shell. He has lost his eyes, ears, mouth, nose, and limbs, but remains conscious and able to reason, rendering him a prisoner in his own body. As he drifts between reality and fantasy, he remembers his old life with his family and his girlfriend Kareen (Kathy Fields). He also forms a bond of sorts with a young nurse (Diane Varsi) who senses his plight.

[@katherineschmidt2075]

Its exactly the video clip you are watching. What it depicts. The guy in the bed with the white drapes over him is the soldier injured from war, severely damaged, that is his voice trying to work it out in his head and communicate with the people he feels around him. The army boss, the head surgeon, his father, the nurse asked to look after him. He's also reliving old memories to see if he can find a way to communicate he is still alive and what he needs. They all think as he's been so badly damaged, they think he cant feel anything theyre doing to him and is severely brain damaged. But he's in there like a normal person, they just dont know it yet. This is back in the time where with ADD they treated with putting a hole in your head and poking metal rods into your brain with just sedation. Like you had severe brain damage and no physical feeling.
