Robert Leckie enjoys a tender moment with Vera. From HBO's "The Pacific", episode 10 of 10. I claim nothing in this video. It's simply for entertainment purposes.
I love that line, “you know what I fought for? Television” it’s so poignant yet wrapped up in Bob Leckie’s sense of humour, it’s his way of saying he fought for a better future.
Leckie is so damn good at wooing people. He just have a way with words. Seamlessly charming the Aussie broad and her parents, quickly earning the trust and friendship of the doctor in Banika, basically talking his way back into his old job (plus a 2 dollar salary raise), and literally stealing Vera before the officer's very own eyes. An absolute smooth talker. What a champ.
Robert Leckie was an absolute Chad. He was once made temporary first sergeant of his company while he was supposed to have been serving an punishment for being drunk. He got promoted then demoted something ridiculous like 10 times during his time in the Marines.
Charming Vera from the "Boy Officer" was easy. Leckie was combat veteran then, a grown up man hardened and experienced in life. That officer was nothing more than some pretty jock in a uniform and Vera knew that. Leckie was a pure boss and a alpha, and I bet he fucked Vera like an absolute animal.
@@jimfinigan1681 Hahahahah! I didn't see that one coming! LOL! But I thought he was going to go into a PTSD rant about fighting for your life and that of the man next to you.
I cried three times....when Lena Basilone brings John's Medal of Honor to his family, when Eugene Sledge is welcomed home by his parents, and when Sledge breaks down while hunting with his dad. Leckie was the lucky one.....and I so adore this scene with Vera.
I don’t think he was that lucky. He came home and his parents had turned his room into a storage room plus they were very cold towards him. I think all the survivors had problems adjusting to civilian life.
The moment when Leckie looks at Vera and told her "televisions" Vera already shows hints of it and the holding hands scene towards the end of the prayer and after,she already has given the answer of approval for Leckie. A beautiful scene that is well written and crafted
Life as a civilian during WW2 wasn't like the cake walk that it was for us over the past two decades of wars. Sure they weren't getting shot at, but nearly everyone in the country aside from the aristocrats sacrificed for the war effort. The war wouldn't have been winnable at all if it wasn't for those civilians back home.
devildog1982z he has a point, lets not forget that all these people lived through the Great Depression. While the hardships arent comparable you cant say that the civilians had it easy during those times.
Leslie Joe Sañol what is your point? Are you trying to tell me that bob leckie was not alive during the great depression? Do not try and correct me when you do not understand my comment
The Vera and Bob scenes get me right in the feels.. My salty old Devil Dog ass is a hopeless romantic deep down inside. The modern world could take lessons from this love story..
I'm a Soldier and I think the same thing bro, even the hopeless romantic part. I've always believed that military members and veterans recognize and respect true love, it's the best cure for any demon
"Y'know what I fought for......television" I love that line. I always felt that it was Bob's way of saying I fought for the future of America and if the dawn of new technology like Television is that future then so be it, it's what I fought for.
Nope. You missed the point. He fought for Vera, he pauses, looks at her, but being the funny smartass he is he says television to stick it to his family members.
I absolutely adore this scene. He’s gone through hell, just to be home and back to his Vera. The assertiveness not to just comply with family traditions, like acquiescing to elders and even while grace is being said, just to hold her hand and look deep into her. That nothing else in this world matters but her
It says a lot about him. He is his own man. You see it throughout his deployment. He wasn’t going to rely on faith or the chain of command to get him through that war. It was just him. He abandoned everything else around him, pursuing what truly was most meaningful to him. I admire his journey, suffering alone and dealing with the disillusionment of the transformative experience he sought out for by joining the war.
Leckie is always the one with the words. Genius and Alpha. He showed us that even that officer is rich and Vera is beautiful, he doesn't even care, he played his game on his own terms. That smile on Vera's face when he said Television, she probably thinking "this is the guy I'm willing to spend the rest of my life with. Smart and funny."
Just imagine listening to people complain about trivial bullshit after what you've been through and trying to keep up the joker persona after everything. This scene had a profound effect on me because ive been through trauma and thats exactly how I acted and still do as much pain as I'm in
I understand a lot of the older generation like to bash and cast doubt on the generations to come but you have to realize that there is men and women like this in every generation. Put people in these dire circumstances and you'll find extraordinary stories. Take Robert Leckie, 2018 under the same circumstances. "You know what I fought for?....iPhones". It's him basically saying, I fought for the future. These men and women truly were "The Greatest Generation" but if you spend all this time looking in the past, you'll miss these stories in the present.
I don't believe that this young generation is as tough as that one was. Certainly today's America with a population of 330 million can field a professional peacetime military of several hundred thousand really tough men (and some women), but could today's American society put 25 million tough young men under arms??? I doubt it. We'd be lucky to muster 5 million.
@@brunopadovani7347 this generation didn't actually face any real problems. humans are strongest when faced with adversity. nowadays, even the bullying on average isn't as bad as it was. You can't be strong if you aren't tested.
@@teekydeeky You missed it buddy. Here let me help ya. The longest war in American History is the current one the war on Terror. Now being as thats the case how many did America need to draft to fill the ranks? Let that sink in. That generation you speak of did that.
@@warrenchambers4819 buck up kiddo, and dont take offense. Even if every single member in the US military was tested, tried, and true... we're still left with the other 300 million. Half my family is military, so I don't need to be lectured on how much some sacrifice. It's underappreciated, and even held back by some in congress. Still, my point stands. Most people in the US live cushiony lives. We're in a time of safe spaces, bathroom arguments, and pronoun demands. Like... c'mon.
Leckie's Mouth says: "I fought for Television." Leckie's Eyes say to Vera: "I fought for you." Vera's Mothers eyes say: "This man really loves my daughter." .
Hanks and Spielberg have made some excellent war movies, if they ever get around to it they sould do a miniseries baised on World War I, Korea or Vietnam
One of the best scenes, he looks at Vera and can't believe she's right next to him after all this time thinking of her and probably the only thing that kept him going during his time fighting, it was all worth it for Leckie, to get the girl.
War scenes in Spielberg's movies and shows are extremely well made, but scenes like this in a casual and calm setting are on another level entirely. So relatable and soothing.
Robert Leckie finds himself home from the war and in a room full of people who don't have a clue what he's been through and who he is. His Marine brothers were his family - and his family strangers. And except for Vera, who coming into this scene is still a question for him, he's very alone. That look he gives Vera has the force of a proposal - asking if she will step into his world. And she says yes with her eyes. An interesting trivia bit about this scene I did not know - Robert's mother is played by the great Betty Buckley. She was the star of the original Broadway play Cats. Here she plays a rather cold and detached mother. In Cats, however, she broke hearts and drew tears with her rendition of Grizabella the Glamour Cat.
Vera is the only one who knows what he went through. She knows she will never comprehend fully, but knows it was seriously tough shit. You can see this in her demeanor and how she sort of slyly defends and completes his points for him in discussion. And Leckie knows this and looks at her after his joke about what he fought for, because she understands and can connect with the deep sorrow he is feeling from what he suffered. She can truly empathize with it, which contrasts with the rest of the family who seem to be preoccupied with their own assumptions and “selfish” self pitying. That’s what makes Vera so special. She’s the perfect woman for a man who went through hell. She knows she will never know. She’s empathetic and caring. A perfect woman, in my mind.
It is always like that with those who never saw the inhumanity of war. After Vietnam I was accused of being a baby killer by people who did not know me or what I did while in Southeast Asia. I killed all that was necessary for me and my buddies to get home alive and whole. I never answered their provocation; it was none of their business. After Desert Storm the same kind of people wanted to know how many Iraqis I had killed, as if it were a good thing. There were Good Times worth remembering. They can never understand, and sometimes I think that they do not want to understand either. It was and was not M.A.S.H. If that makes sense. I understood what he meant, but it is so hard to articulate even for a well read man.
often times, service members and veterans fight wars even after coming home. They endure and suffer continuously despite having the family they left surrounding them. Despite that pain, we all find something or someone that makes those demons bearable, even if they don't realize it. My best cure wasn't some family or friends that pretend to empathize or care, it was a woman that gave me a reason to live, it was for her. She made the darkness and the demons afraid to come back. There's a level of gratefulness that I have for her ability to fight those demons that far exceeds everything and everyone on the planet. I think Leckie had that same mentality and gratefulness with Vera.
I can totally relate to Leckie. It’s uneventful when you finally come home, family members don’t get you, and you feel so far removed from them and they act like you owe them something for not being home. I don’t remotely come within the same galaxy as Leckie. I’m just saying that I get how he must have felt with dealing with his family.
This scene ,,wow,, great acting. It comes as close as you can to showing when two fall in love. After comming home from the gulf I had a similar experience. Holding the hand of the one you want to spend your life with for the first time. Those actors nailed the moment. To the point my wife said,,"wow,,,that was us" as we watched it.
What I love most, is the view Leckies Mom gave them both. I guess she is one of those humans that cannot really express their feelings very well, but hey view tells them all. Heartwrenching
I read his books, or memoirs. "Helmet for My Pillow" is a classic. Read it two times. Alongside Sledges "With the Old Breed at Peleliu and Okinawa", are two books I'll never part with from my library.
I also like the dinner scene when he admits writing many letters to her, which he never mailed. She asked if they were any good, and he says: "best things I ever wrote."
Imagine how just one cell phone at the table could have ruined it all... We can never go back... To love someone with no distractions, would be like Heaven on Earth....
Outstanding hilarious! Yet so true. As a veteran myself I can attest to what we (veterans past, present and future) fight for. The freedom to do and live as we can as responsibly as we can in spite of the irresponsibility of others.
@mastachief117spartan It's still like that, in a way. Ask any of us infantry who either got out or had to get out when we got back and there were too many personnel. Still looking for work. and people have their yellow ribbon magnets,but they look at us like we're all crazy. But yeah, I love that line. "You know what I fought for?" Because for me it wasn't for freedom. it wasn't for oil, wasn't for America. It was for my brothers to my right and my left, who I will always love dearly. 11B1P
Mom looked at the way Bob was looking at her daughter and probably thought "Grandkids on the way!"... Wonderful scene about fighting for the guy on your left and on your right and then, coming home and finding someone to live the rest of your life with...
Television = I lost myself in hell, killed a lot of warriors, lost a lot of friends, all the while accepting death and horror, dreaming of sitting here in this seat, next to you Vera.
I love how they make it clear that Vera is every bit as sharp and as knowledgeable as Leckie.
" love how they make it clear that Vera is every bit as sharp"

That pause was priceless
What I love most, is the view Leckies Mom gave them both. I guess she is one of those humans that cannot really express their feelings very well, but hey view tells them all. Heartwrenching
Moment when you don't think, just come out of your deepest inside.
The way he looks at Vera. All he's been through. There are things worth fighting for.
It's extraordinary that Vera lived till 2024, rounding up for a centurian. Imagine the amount of times she had to share the stories of her husband.
That was possibly the longest and most intense love stare I have ever seen in my life.

This is back when Television was worth fighting for. Before Jersey Shore and shit.
That show hasn't been on for 5 years.
That was hilarious! Well said!
Elthenar 😂😂
Leckie is the man. Dude got busted down 4 times!! No fucks were given.
I LOVE this scene.
The confidence of a man who saw went through hell and grinned at the devil
I LOVE that scene!
Truely a beautiful scene
My second favorite part about this whole scene is the older gentlemen pissed about cream in the spinach.
this was so so so so cute!
Everybody shut up when Leckie said "You know what I fought for?"
Mom looked at the way Bob was looking at her daughter and probably thought "Grandkids on the way!"... Wonderful scene about fighting for the guy on your left and on your right and then, coming home and finding someone to live the rest of your life with...
beautiful scene
The look she gives him. That was when...she knew
You know what he fought for? Vera.
I love the Pacific series
Greatest show of love scene ever.
Television = I lost myself in hell, killed a lot of warriors, lost a lot of friends, all the while accepting death and horror, dreaming of sitting here in this seat, next to you Vera.
Bob Leckie fought his war for Vera……
The Greatest Generation........thank God for these men!
Oh Vera, amen to you.
He joined for patriotic reasons but he fought for his friends, and to live once he entered combat.
Magnifique série 🇨🇵😎😎😎👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
