Very Touching moment by Navy Medic


Danielle Albert. She is ver good in movie.

reply

VERY Funny !

reply

I agree.best scene in film..She is a real medic (as i guessed while watching it)and was very moving..

reply

such an officious uptight attitude she would have made me tighten right up

reply

I knew she was a either a real medic or just an amazing actor, because she had the exact confident, officious, yet caring tone of people who work in that field and are really good at it, explaining exactly what and why they're doing what they're doing every step of the way. Great scene.

reply

I agree, but Tom Hanks was just superb. I've never seen or ever been exposed to someone immediately after they've been traumatised by an untoward incident, but I am fairly positive Hanks got it right. I was almost brought to the verge of tears watching him in that scene. Pain, anxiety, sadness, relief. I could see all of those on his face.

reply

Corpsman, not Medic.
Medics are Army. Corpsmen are Navy.
I joined the Navy to see the world, only to discover the world is 2/3 water!

reply

Coreman are also Marines too, hana

reply

I thought the Marines didn't have Corpsmen and medical personnel and that they brought them in from the Navy. They wear Marine uniforms with Naval rankings and such. I could be wrong, though.

reply

you can be on detachment from the Mahreens, and be wearing Navy uniforms - with USMC markings, hana

reply

Ur a compleat nodend hana

reply

you are the original nod end, hana!?

reply

What is that "hana" thing from and why do you keep typing it?

reply

why are you speak to me like you know me, hana!?

reply

He knows that. He posts the opposite on purpose. The little sh!tbag is a troll. All the names you see with an Indian flair and repeatedly saying "hana" are the same indiviual, a troll and its sockpuppets.

Correct. Trivia--

"The Corpsman is played by HM-2, Petty Officer 2nd Class Danielle Albert.

She and the rest of the medical staff of the guided missile destroyer Truxtun were asked to come in on their days off as filming was to be taking place on the ship and some dangerous stunts were involved. She soon found herself opposite Hanks.

After makeup and hair did their work, the lights flicked on and director Paul Greengrass calls action. “My first take was terrible!” she told WTKR. “Tom Hanks came around the corner and I froze. I didn’t know what to do. It was terrible and I broke out in hives, and it was bad.”

Albert recalls Hanks sitting with her after she turned away crying, telling the director, “I can’t do this, guys. This isn’t working.”

As Albert tells it to Hampton Roads, “Look, it’s OK,” she recalls Hanks saying. “We all go through moments like this at one time or another in our acting careers. You’re fine. I just want you to react to how I’m acting. You do this every day. Just react.”

Three more takes and they had the scene and it worked so well Greengrass told the Tuxton’s executive officer, Cmdr. Andrew Biehn, more of his crew would be integrated into the film to add to the sense of realism, the main reason he had reworked the scene now featuring Albert after a Navy commander told him it wasn’t realistic.

Surely u cant be serious
I am serious,and dont call me Shirley

reply

Yeah, that was a great scene. Pitch perfect.

reply

I agree, but I'm very surprised what a litmus test she makes as it seems that half the commenters thought she was completely emotionally cold. Was it something specific about her or was it that some people expect gender role to trump professional training or something else? Genuinely puzzled.

...as it seems that half the commenters thought she was completely emotionally cold.


Because that half of the commenters are armchair wannabe morons that would not know fake Hollywood from real life.

Or just trolling.

She wasn't cold at all.

reply

Agreed. Balanced her job, caring, checking cognitive functions, physical elements, and soothing the patient.

I watched this with my brother who was seeing it for the first time... anyway for some reason the blu ray disc conked out towards the end of the film, and I told him that he missed my favorite scene: the one where the medic runs her battery of tests on the captain.

He didn't understand.

I didn't know she was a medic IRL either.

The sound of your p1ss hitting the urinal? It sounds feminine

reply

I didn't know she was a medic IRL either.


Because she isn't a medic in real life.

She is a Navy HM, or Hospital Corpsman. Or just Corpsman.
"Medics" are US Army, not Navy.

That's like calling a "Sailor"... a "Soldier"

Yes, she is not an actress.
Yes she is real Active Duty Navy.
Yes she is part of the Navy's Medical Personnel.
But she is not a "medic", she is a Corpsman


I keep facepalming every time someone in the thread keeps calling her a medic.

reply

I apologize. I just read what an above poster said about her being a medic and went with it.

I enjoyed the film but know next to nothing about the navy.

reply

Whatever her official title is - she did a very professional job attending to Capt Philips - she did her profession as a Navy Corpsman very proud indeed. Had I been Capt Philips in this situation I would have appreciated a bit of welcoming warmth mixed with the professionalism - would have made me feel I was in extraordinarily good hands and she sure would have been a great shipmate.

reply

Her Characters official title would be HMC.. A Chief Hospital Corpsman, an E-7
In real life, She was not an actress but an Active Duty HM2, A Second Class Petty Officer Hospital Corpsman, an E-5.

You know how pathetic it is that you create multiple troll a counts and talk to yourself?

Loser

reply

[deleted]

And what makes you think I'm a man.

reply

[deleted]

Well, you assumed wrong.

reply

Is this guy still at it? After multiple reports to the admins of IMDB I've put him and his socks on ignore. The admins don't seem to bother with this guy polluting multiple boards.

reply

Both him and his 10 other fake accounts need to go.

reply

[deleted]

I'm a racialist because I called you out for being a IMDB troll?

Thank you, you have proved me right.

reply

[deleted]

Why are you talking about him like he is a different person. We already know that's you. So please stop because you look like an idiot.

Second, I'm only attacking Asian people? Im only talking to one person....that would be you and your other troll accounts. And I have no idea what race you are. I am on mobile so I cannot see profile pictures, if you even have one of yourself.

So, please explain how that is racialist?

reply

His avatar pic comes from a generic shutterstock photo of a Hindu Indian guy.

You should have seen it when the moron made his photo of his "Budweiser".

Dumbass actually took it from a photo of a Stolen Valor fake seal being exposed.

reply

Lol and he says I'm attacking only Asian people. But I haven't attacked anyone, I've only called him out for using his 3 troll accounts to be disrespectful. How am I supposed to know what race he is anyway. I don't care if he's Asian, white, black or an alien from Mars. He's an idiot either way.

reply

[deleted]

Just like your in no way connected to Prajee Tej either? Lol

reply

I cried at that scene. His acting there should be shown in acting classes.

reply

I don't understand why people are calling her cold. I thought she was very caring but professional, and lo and behold, she's a real service person.

But Hanks yet again... amazing acting in that scene. He is an absolutely incredible actor.
