The Outsider I American Film 1961 I Tony Curtis,James Franciscus,Gregory Walcott

[@BigStack-vg6ku]

I am just glad they made a movie about Ira Hayes. My old boss was a Marine carrying a flame thrower on Tinian and got hit badly on Iwo Jima on the second day. He was a very honest man. This movie is a forerunner of Wind Talkers. I saw what alcohol did to Native Americans in Gallup, New Mexico, and it was horribly sad. That was in 1974. God Bless our Natiive Americans. We sadly haven’t.

[@jeffnolan7392]

"Flags of Our Fathers" is a newer and much better and more historically accurate version. The guy they cast to play Hayes looked just like him.

Racism is a deplorable act 😢, God sees all 🙏

[@diannemiller1895]

Curtis did good with this role but should hav cast a brown eyed man for role. How many full blood Indians do u see with blu eyes. This was a very good movie.

[@anthonyfoutch3152]

Watch "Flags Of Our Fathers".

[@hombre1965]

Cannot believe Curtis did not get a Best Actor nomination for this. Its an incredible performance. Its a deeply emotional without melodramatics before and after PTSD experience. My appreciation for Mr Curtis went thru the roof after watching The Outsider.

My father, who just happened to be a decorated Marine veteran, appears in this motion picture portraying Ira Hayes' brother Kenny. He is the one, at the beginning of the movie, taking an outdoor shower. In the early days of television and movie making, very few actors playing native Americans were in fact so. My family is of the Winnebago tribe. My father did his best to contribute to the entertainment industry by educating those who wished to produce an accurate depiction of a native American. He spoke the Winnebago language and often coached actors in using the language in productions requiring the use of a native American dialect. In later years, more and more native American actors have been featured in many film projects. There is much to say about my dad and his work in motion pictures and television. Some of his film and television credits may be found on the International Movie Data Base website under Vincent St.Cyr.

Three years after the release of this picture, Jonny Cash released The Ballad of Ira Hayes. Still makes me cry.

Unless I saw this movie when it was first released I could not have seen it until the following year, 1962. I joined the USMC in August, 1961 the same year it was released. And unlike today where graduating Marines go on leave for 10 days, there was NO liberty nor any type breaks for SIXTEEN (16) weeks in the proverbial "Old Corps"! I did get leave once I checked in with my first permanent duty station at Camp Lejeune, but only AFTER it was determined there were no senior Marines wanting leave at the time.

This biopic tells the story of Ira Hayes (Tony Curtis), a Pima Native American who helped lift the American flag over Iwo Jima, Japan. After enlisting in the Marines, Hayes suffers prejudice among his fellow soldiers but finds a friend in Jim Sorenson (James Franciscus). Both are immortalized in the famous World War II photo, but Sorenson is killed shortly after it is taken. When he returns to America, Hayes is greeted as a hero but suffers from survivor's guilt that drives him to alcoholism. Initial release: December 1961

I think Hayes would have survived if the powers that be had not tried to make a hero out of him and nobody knew who he was. For many people, anonymity is priceless.

[@SeeNoEvil777]

~SPOILER ~ During WW2, 17-year-old Ira Hamilton Hayes, a Pima Indian from Arizona, enlists in the Marine Corps. During boot camp at Camp Pendleton in San Diego, Ira strikes up a strong and long-lasting friendship with fellow marine, Jim Sorenson. Shipped to the Pacific Theatre of Operations, the two marines fight on Mount Suribachi at Iwo Jima. They are among the six marines who raise the U.S. flag on Suribachi. Soon afterwards, Sorenson is killed by enemy fire in front of a stunned Ira. Later on, the surviving three marines who helped raise the flag at Iwo Jima are ordered back to the USA to participate in a war bond drive. They tour the country, surrounded by the mass-media and the adoring crowds. They participate at rallies, meetings, media-events and parades. They are asked to make public speeches to persuade the citizens to buy war bonds. However, heartbroken over his friend's death, Ira often turns to booze to give himself the courage to continue. His drinking worsens and he is sent back to his unit at the front lines. After the war his fame and notoriety makes it impossible to lead a normal life of anonymity. Many people, organizations, charities, causes and events ask for his participation, as a War Hero, for publicity purposes. But Ira, who still grieves his friend's death and doesn't consider himself a hero, is tired of all the publicity, the attention, the demanding fans and the numerous favors he's being asked for. He also feels guilty of having survived the war while his friends died. He drinks until he hits rock bottom. Vowing to stay sober, he returns to his tribe in Arizona where he lives with his family. He gives up booze and runs for election to the tribal council. Devastated by the loss in elections, Ira gets drunk one last time. He climbs the nearby mountain which, in his mind, is his personal Mount Suribachi at Iwo Jima. At the top, he finally takes his rightful place among his fallen comrades.- quote by nufs68 on IMDb

[@eltonjohnson1724]

Another war veteran let down by our government. It was obvious that Ira Hayes was suffering from PTSD, but he got no help from our government. It's unreal how America treats its war veterans. The WW1 vets with the Bonus March and the Vietnam vets with their treatment both during and after the Vietnam war had it the worse. I am a Global War on Terror (GWOT) war veteran. Fortunately, things are better for us but there is still a need for improvements to be made.

[@anthonyfoutch3152]

they really didn't know what PTSD was.

[@NineInchTyrone]

First time seeing this

[@blackbird5634]

If it weren't for programs, and AA, and family and shrinks, and a more tolerant society, I'd never have gotten off the bottle. It's everyone and every single day, yes one at a time, that makes a man sober. Back then especially if someone's got PTSD, long before that diagnosis was recognized, there was very little hope a person could cope. And that bottle just gets stronger and meaner and keeps calling.

Just one criticism .. PFC Ira Hayes went through "jump school' and earned his US Jump Wings to be a Paramarine. The uniform does not show US Jump Wings. Other than that, Semper Fi.

Great movie, interesting side note the two men with Ira Hayes. Did not raise the second flag, they were there and helped raise the first one. Fog of war, the other two men that were discovered survived the war.

[@reddevilparatrooper]

Ira Hayes had severe PTSD. When guys lose their buddies in combat or get wounded they feel very guilty. I have seen it with many guys during my Iraq tour for 2 years in 2006-08. I met many guys who got wounded go back to their units voluntarily to be with their guys or go back into combat very angry to other units to get revenge to what had happened to them. Combat soldiers feel an obligation to be with their guys in combat is bottom line. That's dependent upon their wounds or recommendations of their doctors. Some of these guys are senior NCOs or Officers now who have seen combat with many tours in Iraq or the Stan.

Thought by many to be but 14-years-of-age, I joined the USMC the same year this was released. And, being a product of that generational-thought-process, I feel exceptionally fortunate not to be a member of the later generations...especially not of this cancel-culture WOKE generation and their DEI mentality. I pray I never become so weak that I allow someone else to be able to control me by how I SURRENDER to them the ability to manipulate my emotions! I reiterate: ONLY "I" can surrender to someone else the ability to manipulate my emotions!! That would include ALL you balding, beer-gutted, no-fitting tee-shirted, know-better-than-anyone-else, anonymously-behind-your-keyboard AHs! The only reason I didn't tell you how I truly feel is the FACT that YT would have censored me! Of course, I make allowances for the appropriate 'age-related' guidelines. But at EIGHTY-ONE (81) years-of-age I have yet to see a book in print, view a movie shown, or a statue erected by another generation and/or culture that I think goes against what is important to my values to the extreme that I am offended so much so that it, whatever "IT" is, must be removed in order no one else may be offended. And, even though I do not approve of what they depict or portray, that would include, "Birth of a Nation" as well as "Gone With the Wind"! Be assured when I tell you that I may be an anonymous AH behind my keyboard, I don't have a beer-gut, my tee-shirts fit, and, even though it is naturally silver, I still have a head of hair to be envied! And, in 1986 while not yet 43 was carded at 42 years-of-age when ordering my lady friend of 40 a mixed drink and myself a Coke. Some 38+ years later I now am often mistaken to be in my 50s. All MEN were created EQUAL...then SOME joined the Marine Corps...
