I don’t understand the shawdow smoking the cigar at the main end .-.
So... _Source Code..._ again.
Hope a part 2 comes out
i actually had a 3 hour rant with my roommate when we watched this. the worst part is that if you separate the ending you have two good sounding movies. ww2 soldiers maybe trapped in hell that are secretly the nazis that did this, and disabled vets forced to confront the ghosts of the people they were forced to leave to die. but someone shit the bed and decided "nope. i want pinapple... AND a pumpkin pie..." and now we have to live with the diarrheic mess that is the result...
Please make ghost of war 2 I want a good ending
Hey, I watched this!
It would have been better if they were all ghost hunting the mansion with other ghost
The best thing about the movie was the (mostly practical) injuries and props
Ghosts of War shows the story of five soldiers in Hell. Haunted and tortured by guilt and regret and their past failure to sacrifice their lifes for the family that risked everything (down to the last second) to save others, they’re stuck in a simulation that is meant to be therapeutic for PTSD, but has been infected by a supernatural curse put on them by the mother they failed to save, causing the simulation to malfunction and torture them instead. Only by correcting their actions in the simulation (sacrificing themselves for others, as Butchie did by throwing himself on the Grenade to save his squad, a sacrifice he did not make for the family) can they redeem themselves by finally dying IRL. The movie touched on the existence of the supernatural, the afterlife, pragmatism vs. Idealism. The twist at the end showing that they’re in a looping simulation, but that the curse is still real and haunting them was a unique twist and an interesting depiction of a realistic Hell.
Another poster mentioned how in the simulation, they fought multiple cars full of german soldiers. The “ghosts” haunting the Manor actually fought on their side, killing Nazis for them. Contrast this with Afghanistan, where they refused to do such out of fear of dying themselves (despite being soldiers on a mission to extract them, who promised to protect them) and instead watched as the family who risked everything to help died alone, without their support.
Fucking Paul!
Man, that ending is very disappointing. Like, keep all the WW2 stuff and keep it about them being trapped in a loop till they figure out what’s going on. Leave out the sci-fi crap.
But it was all a dreeeaaam.
7:54 nice to se some grand theft semi auto
Butchy should have just screamed at the ghosts GET OUT OF MY HOUSE!!!!!!
ive learned the hard way that a lot of netflix movies start off great with a lot of potential then shit the bed at the end
Arabic isn't spoken in Afghanistan. Dari and Pasto are the two major languages of Afganistan.
I loved this movie but the ending i was like and.......(end credits start going) WTF 😧😂😂
Not gonna lie this shit is pretty stupid and it just feels like they are going after soldiers
With all due respect, I've gotta go. My head is spinning😖
16:02 OMG! The villain from the 1st The Mummy movie!
This film is weird and stupid plot. There were men who survived those injuries during WW1 and they didn't die of shock of losing all limbs, they had to deal with their injuries with minimal pain killers while being transported in ambulance(just a van with red cross on it) which had no shock absorbers to get to field hospitals over craters in the road from the shelling. A quick fix operation another horrid ride over a warzone of a rode to sail slowly across the sea to Britain to finally get decent pain killers and full operation to remove badly damaged skin/muscle and then keep undergoing operations where surgeon's were struggling to fix wounds they had never seen before, BUT my point is they lived after all of that. WW1 was horrid for the men missing lower jaws, face shredded by shrapnel, just put ww1 injuries in google and see for yourself the horrific injuries people survived.
Man I really hate cliffhanger movies
unpopular opinion, i actually liked the movie and the concept
IF they were gonna go the secretly scifi route, probably would have been better if we'd instead flashed between multiple time zones, multiple wars, and had our protagonists actually be old men or even just AI's based on the memories of dead soldiers used for training and archival purposes- and reveal that Chris was actually a person playing a video game in the year 2058 or something, because that's what makes more sense than "Our soldiers are deeply traumatized from war, let's put them in a WWII sim to heal their brain somehow", especially since if the house wasn't meant to be haunted in the sim, why were the simulated soldiers sleeping outside? If it's just like today, with someone deciding to play a WWII shooter to experience a thrill ride version of the great war, it'd make way more sense. It'd make sense why Chris is so optimistic and intent on appeasing their spirits, because it's like a game and he's being the hero, and the other characters having initially flat but pointed personalities to fit the standard band of brothers stereotypes, but having combat and the ghosts reveal the horrors that they had in war, with the ghosts just being living nightmares born from PTSD. The horror comes from Chris discovering the game truly is haunted, just not in the way he thought. And if they were gonna go ghost story, this could have just ended with the reveal that Chris is really an old man in retirement home, haunted in his dreams of his time in war, and end with him telling his nurse about the things he's done that he never told a soul after the war was over. Even with the plot decision they took, they could have used it differently- what if leather jacket CIA guy was actually pulling an "I am the cheese' moment and is actually attempting to use the sim to cover up an intelligence SNAFU by determining if they can remember the incident before killing them? Having ghosts infect the matrix is dumb, having him go back in and forgetting is dumber, and the staff having no clue that there's ghosts in the sim is dumbest.
this was a pretty good film for 70 minutes ........
Please explain the movie called them
It was a ok movie 7/10
I only watched it for Brenton Thwaites - but this movie is batshit insane
I couldn't really finish the movie. I fall asleep.
Too bad they couldn't simulate a better movie...
That’s thadd castle
Plot hole city.
15:24 you said "he was missing the bottom half of his legs." not to be a wise ass, but you could've just said he was missing half his legs. we could deduce which half were most likely missing. then I thought if he said he was missing half his legs it could mean he was missing one entire leg. that's half of two legs I guess? ; ]
Oh great ! An other propaganda movie islamophobic bulls##t
I think Iam the only one who absolutly loved the twist.
man what a waste of squirell
The super success expectably dream because wrinkle statistically wrap in a feeble feigned timer. boiling, red shirt
If you hate assassin screed if you hate the modern day if you hate the whole Animas bull crap you were going to hate the ending of this film I however like assassin’s creed and like the modern day and I still hated this film.
It was good but The ending is so low Down to the GROUND
I have to admit I'd like to watch this film now. Hope you can get it on Blu-ray or DVD.
This is very real even without the supernatural and sci fi elements. There are former soldiers right now that are haunted every day by memories and dreams of what they could have done differently in a combat scenario. It’s like phantom limb syndrome for the entire body from the mind. PTSD is the body’s way of saying you were not supposed to survive a near death incident. Support our troops always.
Well. This is depressing.
which branch of Animus is this
THE CYBERSTALKING (1999) meets SOURCE CODE (2011)
So this movie is just stupid.... glad I didn't watch it.
I like to think the nazi killing scene is actually when he comes back from the real world and tries to change his history by actually defending the house and them actually being able to stand a chance with the help of the family members. but obviously, they didn't do that in the real world part of the movie. I like that small touch signifying that maybe they would have lost one of their own but could have stood a chance having the jump on them. Hiding behind the makeshift boxes....hiding behind the wall. I love this movie for small things like that! :) Edit: also how Buchie jumps on the grenade in the simulation he also jumps on the charged explosive. small things
I just finished watching it...the ending was super disappointing and DOESNT make ANY SENSE....AT ALL.....they had good shot angles super impressive vibes and story line....the infinity loop that they did was a nice touch. But the ending RLLY????? it was just like the first grudge movie and the "rings" movie. All three are disappointments...don't waste your time on them.
I love a good WWII film
WHAT THE FUCK?!?!?!?
This could have been such a cool movie if it just stuck to the WWII ghost story idea
A woman terrorist blows up some guys and curses them, they get put in a computer simulation along with said curse. That's the basis on the story which is terrible. The film is pretty good though aside that.
Ehh, recently finished watching. I can say the only part that ruins it for me is when it ended up being a loop because the characters had their memories reset like damn when he(protagonist) wanted to correct their mistake for actually summoning the ghosts satan style. I don't understand why the ghosts needs to be so hostile like how ungrateful but the loop is still the worse it could've been better if they just managed to correctly bury the bodies and then move on. I love the concept of healing wholely with ptsd simulation treatment presented in the movie. The time travel/affecting part, I can accept that but they shouldn't end it like a cliffhanger.
Simulation twists are atrocious. Machina ex Machina is every bit as cheap as Deus ex Machina.
So this movie is basically a shitty cabin in the woods and triangle?
I think how the hunted family in the sim killed a lot of the Germans, it was saying that if they helped the family in Afghan would have helped them and they may have lived. Far fetched theory but meh.
If I understood this video correctly, the twist seems to be saying that he lost his memories, so when he goes back in, he won't be able to help them, presumably that this would repeat endlessly. My concern is that, the scientist didn't lose her memories, so assuming she can work on a solution, wouldn't he just wake up again, then she can let him know he did it before, and how he should do it differently this time, to keep his memories?
I feel like Netflix has overused the whole "its all a simulation" bit
What's vetrulek means? Please
It was a great watch in my opinion. The ending twist just messed up everything
I enjoyed this more than a movie
It crossed my mind for a split second, but the thought left just as fast: they're in a comput- no, that'd be stupid...
I found myself enjoying this, ya know, ww2 soldiers stumble on an abandoned haunted cultist arabian mansion and they are somehow cursed in the process Most of the story twist i do enjoy until the part where *its all a simulation* Yeah, that dont work in my book chief
From what I understand (maybe) is to erase whatever gives these military men PTSD. I have it and it sucks. I wish when my tour overseas was over that someone placed me in a simulation and some how deleted the exact (probably not possible) moment for lack of a better term, that would cause me to relive a memory triggering that PTSD. Just my 2 cents. Please don't bash me people!!
This movie pulled a Game of Thrones
nah, the soldiers weren't good. They would have died, 21:13 you see him shooting with 1 eye closed with no scope
Although I know what the movie is trying to say about inaction. But the woman cursed the soldiers. In this reality curses exist, so it doesn’t matter if the curses are deserved or not. If you shoot someone, the bullet doesn’t care if the person deserved to be shot. The curse does what it does regardless, set off by emotion. It just makes good writing that the curse is deserved and that there is a lesson to be learned. It’d be cool to watch a movie where a curse isn’t deserved, and the one who is cursed tries to reason with the person who set off the curse and to have them come to terms with the emotions that caused them to do it. Idk sounds cool but might be a hard movie to write.
You mean the sixth sense ending where they realize they are already dead. Right?
This movie was a complete mindfuck
uzmatch.info/it/xbhoyonFsa2zv24/video
Hate the movie
They certainly Stephen King'd this idea
So they were used as an experiment?
I like to think the real twist is that it went from purgatory to a simulation but it turns out it was purgatory and the simulation was just part of it
Does this dude just narrate films? All the 'ending explained vids' I have watched is basically just a bad e-book 😂. For me, I feel like they changed writers in the middle of scriptwriting because the last 15 mins, especially the acting in the lab scene, was terrible...they had memories on some bad projector which was worse than your average 80s sci-fi. The story just goes random in the last 15 mins 🤦♂️.
i read many commnts of many videos online...about war....movie....paranormal....pandemic ...dying terro ism ...and as none western human ...u know what i saw?( u ppl are oddly making joke of annnnnythig in sadismic way! even about terror ism attks! and war and dying of ppl)....beware ....this will lead u to a state u cant return from!
Man this could have been something unique. Great premise and even the whole idea of it being simulated or an illusion could have worked. Yet nothing was executed properly and the ending connection to Afghanistan was really shoehorned and ridiculous.
19:00 What confuses me is WHY curse them? It was only dumb luck that they survived in the first place.
The Ending is perfect
The doll room. That massive doll house is nuts! Could only imagine how much something that big would cost these days. The plastic ones they sell on tv are mad expensive.
The wife can’t blame them. If they came out all of them would of died anyways. I mean, did you see the shit tonne of back up they had? Shoulda cursed the people who killed her god damn family .
Also...whose health insurance covers this?
The movie would have been next level amazing if they just kept it in a ww2 setting
Might as well go out guns blazing than what they went through, would have lived or died in peace with honour.
The first half was original and kept me thinking, the beginning scene was a ghost scene that I have never thought could happen(when he smoked a cigarette and pointed a gun at him) it was great The second half however.....
This movie sucked
These soldiers are playing phasmaphobia
😂😂😂😂
The burned carpet with the chair was a nice touch
NO one notices at the end of the movie, when chris woke up and looked to the right , Butchie didn"t show up. and what is meaning of ""Jersey" Rucksack""?
I love this movie, love the plot. They get stronger everytime they go in.
Yeah the u.s. soldiers were there to help and would have been slaughtered had they come out are the bad guys. Not the woman who blew them up or the soldiers who killed children makes a lot of sense.
Could not get past the first fifteen minutes. Wrong guns. They were carrying British Lee Enfields. Substituting tanks I can see but small arms, sloppy.
The ending was kinda cheap but the movie itself was not ta bad in my opinion
Ive never seen such a great movie
This must've been the first movie you've ever seen then 🤨
This movie SUCKED
This was shit
Assassins creed
it would've been better if the movie stayed with it's overall spiritual horror and war (WWII) concept then the ending just went "it's all just a simulation" like what?? they butchered such a potentially good movie from the start.
Imagine being cursed for not dying for someone you don’t know😭
What a Twist!
You should change the tone of your voice in your videos.
