Opera Singer Reacts To Metallica ONE | Tea Time With Jules

[@jbird4478]

It's supposed to make you nauseous, or at least uncomfortable. It is one the most brutal anti-war stories. This is also how the book and movie end: he just lies there repeating the same thing in his head over and over again "SOS... Kill me..." The scenes in color are only in his mind; mixed memories and delusions. He doesn't know where he is, or what is happening. The chanting at the end is "Keep the home fires burning (till the boys come home)"; a piece of war propaganda from WW1.

[@nicolasbascunan4013]

Masterpiece

[@DMSG1981]

It's an anti-war movie called "Johnny got his gun".

[@Aaron-io8vw]

The movie is Johnny got his gun. Its about a man who fights I. World war one and is injured in a explosion. He has no arms, no legs, his eyes and face are mostly destroyed. . the only thing keeping him alive is machines forcing air into his lungs and food into his stomach. The man is trapped I. His fear for the rest of his life. The film and this song are both based I. A novella by Dalton trumbo, one of Americas greatest authors, screenwriter and journalists. The lead singer James had been introduced to the book and film by his older brother and it effected him so much that he wrote this song.

[@Plan9-3127]

Easily one of the most beautiful songs ever written. The message it conveys in just a few minutes is very powerful.

[@pnut3844able]

A few minutes lol. It's funny bc all of metallicas older songs are like 7-10 minutes long lol

[@glenketchum6379]

The difference is "I've heard this song", Now I'm Listening t this Song!!!

[@sutekh233]

Absolutely Glen. To steal from another song, "people talking without speaking, people listening without hearing" Music is about telling stories, and unfortunately, most people only read half the book, or judge it based on what they think the book will be because of the author. People will go and watch "the Shawshank redemption" and call it a Masterpiece, Tell them it's a Stephen King Short story...........

It kinda reminds me of what it must be like being in a coma with mangled body. My sister in law was in an accident and in a coma for a year, when she woke up/came out of the coma, she said she was aware and could hear everything but was not able to do anything. She to had mentioned that she wanted to die rather than live the rest of her life like that. Thank goodness she came out of it.

It's based on the book and later movie from the 1930's or 1940's Johnny Got His Gun. About a man who joins the Army to fight in WW1. He loses his gf and then through a mine loses his face, sight,smell,taste,hearing,voice, arms and legs.

No need to be sorry. It takes several viewings to sort out the message between the lyrics and the visuals. It's a lot to take in the first time. You're not alone in that regard. :) Btw: Metallica bought the rights to the movie "Jonny got a gun" ensuring the video not to get copyrighted (or so i understand it). I love to watch you on your "metal journey", to see you discover all the great bands out there. Greetings from Sweden. 💜

[@claysteele6367]

One of my favorite Metallica songs.

[@rp3569]

In my opinion, she should’ve have the lyrics up instead of trying to interpret it herself but hey what do I know, I’m just a viewer and my opinion doesn’t matter right?

[@neilpatrickhairless]

The music video literally spoon feeds you the plot of the entire song

[@Darkstar72SR]

Yeah, but it’s a lot to take in all at once. You’ve got the film footage playing in the background WITH audio and Metallica’s kick-ass lyrics. Personally, I don’t feel like the Official Music Video is the way to experience this song for the first time. 🤔 And it always surprises me how younger generations don’t understand that it’s a totally separate media source (Johnny Got His Gun) playing underneath the actual song. Even if I’ve never seen the film in question I find it easy to tell just by the pacing of the film footage. Horror? I suppose but I would think it’s a godda*mn tragedy

[@wheatthicks]

They bought the rights to the movie because it was cheaper than paying royalties every time the music video was aired.

[@princeebon]

I do suggest watching the movie - perhaps as a stream so you can not be alone. Metallica wound up buying the rights to the movie because they were paying so much in royalties for showing movie clips live.

The chaplain's scene had more to say in the movie. He said he would pray for the soldier every night for the rest of his life, but he would not speak to him so to avoid giving him false hope.

[@nathan.brazil780]

Movie is Johnny Got His Gun

[@JariJuslin]

I can imagine this video stood out in the usual pastel colored pop flare of 1980s Music Television, back when MTV still was mostly about music videos. Metallica's first music video ever, and metal music was not really considered to be taken seriously by many at the time. This video must have delivered several points home.

[@DT_Michael]

The scenes in this video are from the 1970's movie, "Johnny Got His Gun" and the associated book. Johnny was a soldier in World War One. He is caught in an explosion that leaves him with no arms, no legs, no face, no ears. He cannot speak, hear, or see - has no sense of time or where he is, and is fed through a tube and breathing through a respirator. I have always interpreted the cut scenes within the song as what is happening to Johnny in the real world. The moments of the song where Johnny is "thinking out loud" are his conscious mind, and James Hetfields voice is his subconscious mind. This was triggered - for me - by Johnny's line, "I don't know if I'm alive and dreaming, or dead and remembering?" From that point on, the music builds and builds, which - again, to me - signaled the growing conflict between the two sides of Johnny's mind as he dips further and further into insanity. By the time Kirk Hammett's guitar solo hits, (and hits hard), I've always pictured that as the final "battle" between Johnny's conscious and subconscious mind, with the final "S.O.S. Help me..." mantra at the conclusion signifying that Johnny's mind is the same as his body, reduced to "one" singular, autonomic thought. Nothing else of him remains from that point forward. Johnny has gone, and only the breathing corpse remains until he would die of old age. At the end, the crowd singing "Keep the Home Fires Burning" symbolizes how society went on and forgot about him, (and the veterans in general). If you listen to this song from that perspective, you will be bawling by the end.

[@Carl-vx9ws]

This song came out 3 years after my Mom was rendered comatose after a botched brain tumor removal surgery. She lived in that coma for over 15 years... I embraced the melancholy beauty of this song through that recognition, and respect how the lyrics describe what I pray she never had the capacity to think. I was also 13, and it was metal, so my dad hated it and found it too depressing. Of course its depressing...its not a happy subject! To my ears, it was theraputic. And it was the second song i learned on guitar through that new musical notation called TABs!

Based on the book, Johnny Got His Gun. Its a harrowing read. Essentially about a man's descent into personal hell, after being injured fighting in WW1, losing his arms, legs, sight, speech and hearing - leaving him trapped inside his own mind. The author, Dalton Trumbo, was blacklisted under Macarthy.

[@garyrobb5341]

The book on which the black and white movie was based was the novel Johnny Got His Gun by Dalton Trumbo about WW1. It was one of three books banned during WW2. The other two were enemy propaganda. It was an ironic reference to the popular recruiting slogan Johnny Get Your Gun. Dalton Trumbo was blacklisted and destroyed for being defeatist and anti-American. He wasn’t; just realistic.

[@howardbrown911]

Certainly not a silly horror movie! As one who has been there war is just plain horror and moments of the most intense fear. The fate of this soldier is one that any soldier of any side would gladly trade for death. I have seen wounded very close to the condition of this poor man and it is something you put out of your mind, but later you can't make it go away. This song is a masterpiece at pushing that horror on those lucky enough to never be there. Without this war becomes too easy to engage in.

[@Matt2010]

[@illuminahde]

I would love to see your reaction to Puscifer's Momma Sed. The live version in the studio is 🔥. Puscifer, is one of the projects from the band Tool. They also have the best rendition of Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody you've ever heard. Goofy video but the vocals are magnificent.

[@rolsen1304]

It's a anti-war protest song designed to make you feel the reality of war beaten into your mind over and over. This was the first metal song that made me cry back when I was 13 or so. I felt such empathy for the soldier when I read the lyrics and the message clicked into place I broke down and cried while listening over and over.

[@RayfordRaySiegel]

You should watch "Johnny Got His Gun", what the song is based on. It's very interesting, for even how it's put together. You might recognize one person in it, at least. The guy that plays the dad is in "Parenthood", with Steve Martin. And Donald Sutherland, who plays "President Snow in "The Hunger Games " is in it. The song is great, musically and lyrically.

[@Molix1981]

Listening a song without knowing the lyrics, is like seeing a movie until the middle of it, makes 0% sense...

[@JariJuslin]

The song is based on movie Johnny Got His Gun which in turn is based on book of same name. The story itself is fictional, but based on couple of true stories from WW1. There were men so badly disfigured they were closed to back rooms of hospitals so no one would see them and in some cases their families were told they were dead, because it was thought to be more merciful for the family. It certainly was not merficul for those young men who'd spend who knows how many years isolated and alone, with not enough body left to actually live. As such the book was so powerfully anti-war it was one of the few books that we're not outright propaganda that were banned for soldiers to read during World War 2.

[@JariJuslin]

It's a long standing ethical question about who's forced to live and who's not. In certain cases the people whose lives have become not worth living anymore are at the same time so crippled they cannot end their own life, but laws prevent anyone else from helping them.

I think the video and the movie clips are intended to make it more visceral to you what it's all about. That, and probably the fact that it would run better on MTV back when that was actually music television, if there were something to keep us kids engaged for a song this long and with this many parts without words. Very basically put. The song itself is so much more beautiful and enjoyable without the movie clips. Both the soft intro and the hard second half of the song. At the same time they wanted to make it obvious what it was about. I would have personally chosen to use relevant war footage or clips from the movie without sound, so that you get the picture (literally) and still get the full experience of the song itself.

Some ppl have this a bit wrong. Metallica had an idea for guy who gets blown up and had a their producer, Bob Rock knew of a book (Johnny got his gun) and told them about it. The book is frequently banned because the author Dalton Trumbo was a communist. The book became a movie but was not highly regarded. It was cheaper for Metallica to buy the movie than to buy the clips they wanted.

The movie was about how terrible the VA and health care was in overall back then lol. No for real, though this is my take on the the video and movie. It’s about horror of war no matter what political ideology you personally believe in or what your country’s political system . I believe also saying as long as you’re fighting on the side of Democracy war is. It only okay but always acceptable and a privilege. Also I believe the movie touches on are how civilians lack empathy and basic respect for the soldiers while their abroad or upon returning wounded . Weather, soldiers return with physical scars or mental scars.
