"I Don't Know What The War Is Like." - The Pacific (2010) #shorts #thepacific #movie #scene #ww2
The Pacific is a 2010 American war drama miniseries produced by HBO, Playtone, and DreamWorks that premiered in the United States on March 14, 2010.
The series is a companion piece to the 2001 miniseries Band of Brothers and focuses on the United States Marine Corps's actions in the Pacific Theater of Operations within the wider Pacific War. Whereas Band of Brothers followed the men of Easy Company of the 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment through the European Theater, The Pacific centers on the experiences of three Marines (Robert Leckie, Eugene Sledge, and John Basilone) who were in different regiments (1st, 5th, and 7th, respectively) of the 1st Marine Division.

After some time of comfort and boredom, even though he was still afflicted with nocturnal enuresis at the time, he later gets out of the hospital with the help of the head doctor, handing over his pistol as a bribe. While he is leaving, he talks with Gibson, who has clearly been traumatized and disturbed by his experiences. As Leckie walks out, Gibson tells him that he hopes that his death will be swift and painless, for to him, it is better than participating in the Pacific war. (Fandom: The Pacific Wiki)

yes that is literally the scene
@@claremontcowboy7409being a smart ass doesn’t get you far in life
@@scionixx9568 it gets you farther than being a dumb ass!
"Nocturnal enuresis" means that he kept pissing his pants.
@@kingjoe3rd Lol I figured it was something like that. But hey, I really wouldn’t want to piss my pants and then have to walk around in them all day in a humid jungle environment.
I know the pistol was a bribe first and foremost but I love the idea he was willing to part with it to an officer he respected. He stole the pistol back from his CO who was being a shit bag, and gave it to the Doc who just wanted to help wounded/ traumatized servicemen.
I never noticed it. You're right.
Huh your right
Yeah, plus maybe deep down he knew it was a one way trip, or that his luck might run out, so might as well make sure it gets "inherited" by someone that deserved it.
I also like it as a bit of a parallel to Winters idea of a war being fought without the pistol having ever been shot
He wasn't handing the pistol over to someone who might use it in the field, especially when you consider the idea of things getting crazy, and him having to use it but not on himself
I’m not sure if that was intended in the writing or not, but I like that a lot
“I drink and chase nurses” is the best reference to both the show Mash and the reality that Mash was making fun of
Still true today, lmao.
Bro was trying to go back to Japan and get another pistol anyway.
I heard a rumor some asshat LT has one.
Yes but no they were trophies for a reason because it was somewhat difficult to get them
@@ZootedSosa at least until the war ended with the Japanese Surrender, then all their weapons would be confiscated and not all of them were destroyed. Some were kept by those who did the confiscating.
The original looter shooter.
I was just thinking that haha
I would imagine the pistol he’s referring to is a Nambu pistol probably worth thousands of dollars now
Less than a $1000.
Outside of stories associated with the pistols, or one of the early models. I could vary, they were and are crap pistols and like 100,000 were made
actually they are quite plentiful and pretty cheap
It is not the value of the pistol that concerns Lucky (Leike). The Lt. tried to steal it from him, and he appropriated it back from the Lt. Because of this the Lt punished him with KP even though the Lt could not prove Lucky had stolen it back. He knows if he returns to his unit with it, that it could cause the further punishment from the Lt. He would rather give it to the Doctor that helped him than the Lt. who made fun of Lucky for being incontinent.
Is the pistol reliable or just a collectible
Thanks and have a good day
In the commentary, they mentioned this is a kind of reverse psychology. The doctor attempting to convince Leckie to stay was a test. That's how he knew he was fit for duty, because he'd rather return to his unit than remain in safety and comfort.
Catch 22. Someone not faking it would want to return, but they are asking to return so you can send them to the front. Someone trying to stay must just not to return so they can be sent to the front as they are faking it.
Not much different than the original catch 22 that a sane pilot would not want to fly the missions so anyone trying to get out of missions must be sane and able to fly.
"I don't think that would be healthy for me" is also an implicit self-harm threat if he isn't cleared for duty.
The reason why is because although everyone needs a break sometimes, at a certain point soldiers feel like it’s wrong to stay while their comrades are fighting on the front lines.
@@dauntless0711yeah that is definitely part of it. But you also desperately miss your friends. It was incredibly hard for me to be separated from my friends in the middle of a deployment when I was wounded.
@@snorgardark1908yea that book immediately came to mind
Holy shit, he played in Nuremberg
Yup, he was the Quack treating the German prisoners.
And then he went back to the USN and served on a nuclear submarine unde Gene Hackman.
Caught my eye right away from that. Underrated film, indeed. He played the shrink and he was darn enjoyable in it.
Also in k2. Great supporting actor.
Yup 😂
The military truly is a drug. I was forced out of the service on absolute bullshit - got my GCM, Honorable Discharge, and even qualified for an MOVSM - and it left me so scarred and desperate for purpose that I felt I could never find it in the civilian world.
There is a life here, not carrying a rifle and doing high-speed low-drag type shit. Yeah, you’ll always have that warrior in you, but you can put that warrior in a garden and he’ll be at peace. Just need to get the work done on processing what’s happening/happened
You're telling my story brother man... Served '04-'16 and then was booted out on a BS MEDBOARD. Wife bailed because I wasn't healing quick/significant enough. Lovely woman stole the ESA I was prescribed while still on AD and raised from a puppy in the divorce. The money and house was one thing, but my effing dog was personal. Been searching for a mission/purpose for almost 8 years now. I get it.
@@Poets04you’ll find it, just don’t stop looking for it. We all have one
I feel you brother. The Army was all I knew, becoming an Officer was my life goal.
That didn't happen. My life was thrashed. Totally gutted.
Glad I took up Matial Arts after I left. Gave me some hope, but I tell you not a single day goes by that I don't think of what was, most days I wish I was dead
I had my dd214 for 6 years, and enough for disability but could never admit I needed to go to the VA and apply for it. The military left me empty and without purpose, so I rejoined. Had to go back through basic and AIT. 2 months and I graduate ait and carry on
@@Poets04 I nearly ended things for myself nine months out of the service back in 2019…after that point, I battled with depression and bad thoughts up until last year. I feel you on that; it’s been difficult going on, but I am now in a place where I’m actually glad to be alive and I can say I am excited for the future.
Keep on keeping on, Warrior. We’ll make it through this!
He is right, just because the doctor hasnt seen war doesnt mean he doesnt know what its like. He has met hundreds of people with PTSD and injuries.
just imagine the wounds and injuries they had to treat
@@igorspitz yeah i would probably just throw up.
War is hell, but for some people, that intensity is preferable than dealing with incredibly dull normal life.
Dude the Nuremberg trials psychologist went slow up the ranks...
"I was breast fed till I was 16. Will that cause problems down the line?"
I never even saw a breast till I was 61
@@crono3339were you a male nun or something? I’m genuinely curious as to how that’s possible.
The gallows humor in Bob Leckie’s books about the fighting on Guadalcanal is some next level stuff. One of the best examples:
“Japanese soldiers had been warned by their commanders that these Marines on Guadalcanal were no ordinary soldiers. No, these foul mouthed beasts were said to be the refuse of jails and insane asylums, recruited specifically for their bloodlust, and that they cut the arms and legs off of fallen Japanese soldiers and ran their bodies over with steamrollers.”
That's not gallow humor. That's a historical fact. The Japanese were really told that about Marines. Germans were told the same about paratroopers although they weren't likely to believe it. Although joke with the paratroopers in Europe was that the Germans were told you could tell them apart by their mohawk haircut and then by coincidence a bunch of paratroopers ended up getting mohawks before they jumped into Normandy.
@@Ben-zr4ho Oh it’s a fact, the gallows humor is the specific way Leckie puts it, his deadpan delivery, like the line from Challenge for the Pacific when Leckie overhears a fellow Marine buddy bragging about having just killed two Japanese soldiers. “Who in the hell ain’t already killed two Japs on this island in the past month?!” at which his buddy turned around and grinned as he replied, “Yeah, but with the one bullet?”
James Badge Dale needs more roles.
"No."
- "but I just gave you the pistol!"
"What pistol?"
People talk about how Basilone went back, they don’t talk much about how Leckie went back.
He was an old breed marine, he fought on Guadalcanal back when America was still kind of losing the war.
For a guy who has spent literal years fighting the Japanese to BEG you to go back to the front, to rejoin a bunch of guys who are kinda dicks to him, it really shows his true character in that moment.
Basilone fought on Guadalcanal too...
@@jgg204 I didn't say he didn't bro.
holy fuck can't make a single point these days.
@@trainknutagreed, everyone has to be contradictory or be more right than you
@@jgg204 Basilone fought on Guadalcanal, too...*
--If you're gonna be a smartass, might as well have the proper punctuation to go with your statement, otherwise you may come off as an ass...
at this point guadalcanal cammpaign lasted overall 6 months leckie was removed earlier before it ended so let's say around the 4 month mark when he had his condition he spent at least couple of weeks at the hospital and got sent back to the canal before it officially ended.
Leckie. I feel more akin to Leckie than any other character. Off by himself, one of the guys but an intellectual whose not afraid to say right from wrong. I've read With The Old Breed when i was 13/14 but i gotta read Helmet For My Pillow now
"Helmet for my Pillow" reads like a long poem. The writing style is a complete opposite to "With the Old Breed".
Leckie was a rare Marine. He was the only one with a brain in his unit. Snafu was probably most accurate
My wife got me Helmet for my Pillow for Christmas. I enjoyed it
With the Old Breed reads like it was written by very smart guy, an intellectual who knows what he was talking about about because he was there, but who's not a writer but can write and has written non fiction (scientific papers) professionally but didn't necessarily view his wartime experience through the lense of a writer even though he kept detailed notes. Helmet for My Pillow definitely reads like it was written by a writer, who was a writer before the war, and viewed the war through the lense of a writer, and even planned on writing a book just like it while he was living it. It has a literary style. The two books are very different in style.
Never knew The Mandarin's side-kick fought in WW2.
He said "please". He needed to go back. He was begging, for his very soul.
Corny 🤣
"You must've gone through a lot to bring it here. Why give it away?"
"I can replace an enemy weapon. I can't replace my unit."
I watch band of brothers probably once a year. Pacific is a rough series to watch. The Japanese woman on Okinawa wired with explosives is burned into my brain and turns me off from ever watching this again. After masters of the air (which I loved) I should give this another go.
Il est intéressant de lire le livre de R.Leckie...
Try that nowadays & you’d get reprimanded by leadership & also for having a war trophy too
Notice how he is giving away his stuff and "just wants to get back to my guys "?
I haven't seen this series, but i hope they pointed out what these signs mean.
He gives the doctor his prize pistol as incentive for him to sign off on the papers that clears Leckie for duty again. He was pretty much losing it in the hospital from what I remember, so he just wanted to get back into the fight with his friends.
@@soccerkiller3 ok.
Probably just me reading too much into it.
Giving away your stuff and being desperate to get back to the lines were a bad sign of s guy looking to "not returning "
@@ralffsmith2655In medicine, giving away your favorite and prized possessions all of a sudden is a sign of suicidal ideation.
@@ralffsmith2655yeah a little too far, only gave away one single item and it was a bribe, not anything sentimental cause that doc is a stranger
@@ralffsmith2655 very good argument you make. I might concur with you if I didn't know Leckie's character from reading his book. He really just wanted to be back with his buds.
Reality in the moment and not the retelling: Thank fk I'm here not there.
Back then soldiers could take trophys. Register them return w them. Until like Vietnam it was benefits of war
Let me see your war face!
this was way better then it should have been
Doc has come a long way since playing the witch doctor in Nuremberg.
The picture for the short looks like Robert De Niro
I want Rubicon 2
Absolutely yes!! Rubicon 2 100% 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Crazy seeing the same actor from Nuremberg in this
Lol thought it was heath for a sec
Hard believe this went to Nuremberg.
What? This is in the Pacific between a Marine and a Navy Doctor.
Wrong hemisphere.
Wtf are you saying?
For those who don’t understand this guy played a psychiatrist in the tv movie Nuremberg
@@RedHairedWarlordthanks for the info, I was so lost by that comment lmao
i wish more docs were this honest...
There's more substance in this clip than the entire season of MotA
A man in Westeros drank and he knew many things...
That's what Marines do
Jreg in movie 😮
So this is what Jreg did before CZcams
I thought he was doing that thing were suicidal people start giving away their stuff
That's the dude from Jacobs Ladder!
Lindsey Buckingham acted lol?
Is this guy Chase from 24?
Yup.
@@supersupersomething 3rd season is probably top 3. His character was great but didn't like his ending!
Is this before he signed up to be on fire and steal the iron patriot suit?
Last episode of Mash
That's the medic from Team Fortress 2
i love *Band of Brothers* so i was hyped to experience some more classy stuff from Goetzman, Hanks and Spielberg, but i couldn't bond with any character of *The Pacific*
It felt different... 😐
Give it another try. Took me a few viewings to appreciate the show. The 'vibe' is... very different. This isn't the best way to put it but, watching BoB, you (almost) wish you were with those guys, but with The Pacific, you come out so thankful you weren't. Just my opinion, obviously - cheers!
@@GjVj ...you know what? i think i will...thanks, mate 😊
As a Marine, I wanted to like this so much more than I do. They didn’t seem Mike they put the time into production and casting g like they did with BOB. Which is an amazing series.
BoB was basically from the perspective of officers and higher NCOs books.
Pacific was written by bottom totem pole weirdos like Sledge. Also Marines are mostly scum, I served in the Corps and there is no brotherhood there. Just temperamental alcoholics that are proud to suck at their job. All the USMC tropes are polished lies from their marketing team.
I do agree it feels different, and if you'd have asked after my first or even second time watching The Pacific I'd have said I prefer BOB, however over the years I've grown to prefer The Pacific as it focuses more on the individual(s), that being Leckie, Sgt Basilone and Sledge. You still get enough from other characters, but I feel like you almost know these three on a personal level. The only character I felt like that with in BOB was Winters, and whilst the names and faces of the other members of Easy Company feel familiar, I only see them as professional men of the 101st airborne whereas the three I mentioned from The Pacific feel like normal people who had to answer the call if that's makes any sense? For the record I love both and have to watch them both one after the other
When doc told me i was going home I literally cried.
The only character in the pacific I really liked besides Basilone.
Screw your opinion. Punk.
Have you ever heard of a TTRPG called Mage: The Ascension?
is that medic ??
That used to be my thing too - vodka and beautiful nurses!
Theres absolutely no reason to offer sheet him especially at a high number. Carolina can't afford to keep him regardless, thats the main reason hes leaving in the first place
Boss whose your perma ban?
You got a drink and a nurse for me doc?
He wants to be with his brothers. Stand together or die together I respect that.
Corny 🤣
@@damone70 “…somehow Palpatine returned…” 😂
@@LordWyatt Romanticizing war = corny af. Lol
My opinion if the person is wanting it that bad. Sign the papers.
❤❤❤❤
They look like father and son.
I was traumatized as an elite member of MEAL Team 6 in Afghanistan. They dropped us off next to a Taliban stronghold and then we ate everything in sight. It was a war of attrition and I have nightmares about choking on chicken and flatbread with hummus.
