Yep ...he has that... plus he is scared shitless.... if u look close he has a fixed bayonet the only time they gave the order to fix bayonets... was when there was going to be some up close and personal stuff...bad guys were close by...real close
I was in korea (Pohang area) attached to CSSD-32 (USMC) during "Team Spirit 82". We dug fighting holes due to an "issue" and down the line someone dug up the remains of an M-1 Garand clearly branded with USMC on the stock. I have always wondered and prayed about the owner since.
My great uncle was killed in Korea was an "old war horse" served throughout World War II fought in the Pacific and died in Korea with the 2nd Infantry Div. Being a soldier was the only thing he knew how to do, Never forget the sacrifice given by these brave men Korea may be the forgotten war, but it's not forgotten by families who fought and lost family during the war.
As great as this song is, it was not written by Don. Paul Hampton and Hal David wrote the song. Hal David has written some of the best lyrics of all time, especially when paired with Burt Bacharach.
This is the original hit record by Don Gibson from around 1960. The version used in the film is also Don Gibson, probably re-made in the 70's. A lot of artists were re-making their hits for re-release and play on oldies radio.
This is Great. better than the original! My only regret is that this is the start to the American "anti-communism" campaign movement which cost too many American lives,,,,Korea, Vietnam, Cold War....too much "death in vein". But all that does not exempt the sense of duty displayed here....this footage is REAL!
@stuman06 The movie credits show it as Don Gibson. I watch this movie everyday, lol. Clint Eastwood reminds me of a spit'n image of my grandfather, God rest his soul. I was a 14 year Marine, my grandfather was a 25 year Marine and my father was Marine also. My grandfather was also on the infamous Island Hopping Campaign during WWII. He passed in 95. Miss ya "Pappa"!!
the Stare is a result of stress, hunger and lack of sleep. When you're in a combat inviroment you havn't got any means of relaxing, everything is about the next objective. So after a while, everything turns into a blur, and you get the 1000 yard stare.
I'll never forget the Korean war vet with tears in his eyes talking about "the forgotten war". He said "Nobody who fought in that war will ever forget it." That was as nasty of a war as there ever was.
I agree. It's almost like false advertisment. I remember seeing that movie a long time ago. With the name and the opening credits you thought it would be a hell of a movie. Only to be left with this empty "what the fuck feeling" shortly after the opening credits ended.
Real good classic, the Korean war footage is real and not staged in any way. The movie "Heartbreak Ridge" begins with this footage and song. Too many good people lost in combat in the most horrible way. The song is a easy listening country song that you perhaps wouldn't relate it to war. In my days I was a scared kid at full battle gear on my back trudging through the desert jamming to "I've got the power". Did'nt have nothing but I knew there was a bullet out there with my name on it. Wars HELL
I understand what you mean...but the lyrics are anything but easy listening, granted not a fire up your pulse and adrenaline song, but the "LOSS" in the song, and the feeling of being "LOST" by the soldiers is ultimately what WAR boils down to.
A timeless classic, it will endure as long as war itself.
Like the original better? I finally have a copy of the original and I'll post it. No comparison, I should almost call Clint and get him to change the beginning to mine ;) It's a bit rough...I made it in one take...just the Big man himself...mostly 1 take will do in his movies.
Anyways what I meant to say 1st was the battlefield refers to the Virtual Battlefield...alot of controversy over war video games lately. Never forget our real fallen hero's!!! AMEN
In case any of you were wondering, the song doesn't actually start until 1/4 way through the video. Thanks for all your comments, It's interesting to hear that some people like the original better. Myself I cannot see how that is possible; especially when you consider the vocals and how they compliment (if you will) the real war footage. Thanks!
the chicoms would never have attacked if they did'nt have the atomic bomb which was given to them by jew spys working at los alamos.How many more red state white boys must die for this bullshit.
This song in the opening credits of "Heartbreak Ridge" along with the powerful war footage of the Korean War, made this otherwise forgettable film memorable.
I dont know if I'd say H.R. was forgettable Patty, but this actual footage couple with this song made the movie, no doubt about that as far as I'm concerned. Rest of the movie, while not awful; kinda pedestrain, nothing to write home about...perhaps forgettable after all.
You have to admit, though, Eastwoods' Gunny Highway kept you watching. one of the best parts is when the Major is dressing Highway down then sees the brick of ribbons/ medals and is totally humbled.....
Maybe you should think about the poor people filmed in what you are showing. Don Gibson's song is a credit to him and the nasty backing vocals well. War is not glorious and the same for the right to bare arms.
It is a tribue to the men and women and the suffering they endured you putz. Read my comments, "Lest we forget" means lets not forget what they sacrificed.
Britain is still a reasonably powerful nation yet, ther empire has definetly been weakened over the years but all empires end up the same way, especially in the modern world as most people want ther independence, they still have there strategic interests overseas covered though.
Heartbreak Ridge was an actual battle fought by soldier's of the 2nd Infantry Division during the Korean War and the General did say "Well if this battle doesn't kill us it will sure break our hearts". All wars no matter how small they may look from the outside people still die so remember things aren't always what they seem.
Everybody should know that The Korean War was and will never be a police action, because it saw some of the most heavy fighting of all the war's that Britain and America has ever fought.
As a Veteran, I love both versions of the song. Granted I'm not a veteran of the Korean war, but I've heard that both are good from the vets of that "Forgotten War"
Well, considering the fact that the Korean War hasn't ended and the fact that this song didn't come out until 1961(cease fire/1953), homes didn't fuck up. He just put a nice song to go along with some shitty stuff that our fighting men/women had to do continue. The song, with the intro, is brilliant, but if you want to be "technical", it shouldn't be there in the first place. It came out 8 yrs. later. So just enjoy.
I will post the original version so people can decide for themselves which one they like better. Again, I obviously did not create the song nor oompile the war footage I just overlayed a different version of the song cause I like it better!
"War would be difficult to accept at any moment; the song captures the essence of the feelings most people would experience."
Sorry, but you should have kept the original military drums seque into the song...just my opinion
