@@frankiek2269 Yeah, the movie name is Johnny Got His Gun, sort of a tongue in cheek reference to the original Johnny Get Your Gun. And yes, they bought the rights to the movie so they didn’t have to pay royalties. Seeing how obscure the movie is, I’m sure the rights weren’t all that expensive. Especially since they still really weren’t very wealthy when AJFA and the video for One came out. It wasn’t until after they headlined their Damaged Justice tour, and especially after they toured for 2 1/2 years straight for the Black album, that they really got stupidly wealthy.

I've been lucky seen them 5x with and without Cliff, although I love ❤️ Jason, Cliff was the Conductor in my opinion. Forever missed 🙏 🎼🤘❤️‍🔥🖤

Her father if i recall, served for a while so she can connect to the imagery shown. Same for when she reacted to a few Five Finger Death Punch songs. If you are an Empath, or can connect, it hits you pretty hard. I myself look at this(and many other military related songs) differently since i joined. Just hits different now.

Don't let anyone try to silence you!!!! You got the feeling of this song 100%

The "Goodbye Father" line will never cease to get me in the feels. The delivery of it sounds like a man who finally has closure and peace after suffering for so so long.

This is actually my favorite Metallica song of all time, from my favorite Metallica album. The video clips you're seeing were from a 1971 movie called Johnny Got His Gun. A few months ago I finally saw it for the first time after hearing about it for decades. I'm man enough to say that I cried like a baby at the end of the movie. The end result for the main character (the one in the hospital bed) is truly horrifying and hopeless. It shook me for months.

Johnny got his Gun is beautiful, sad, desperate, fantastic, and absolutely horrifying. I've watched it many times and it still makes me feel hopeless.

I’ve said this in different One reactions before, but I was playing One on my stereo when my grandfather walked in. ‘Hon,’ he said. ‘It sounds like yours friends were in a war.’ My grandfather had served in World War II and he just opened up to me about his experiences after hearing this song. It was truly beautiful. Their symphonic concert was his favorite after that ♥️

I will venture a guess that you are from the United States or a very patriotic country? Im sorry but its not about freedom, almost ever. Most of the time its about ressources others have. I respect the people who fight a lot even though they bought the bullshit they are being sold. "freedom" is an illusion. If you are from the united states. If you don't have money, you aren't free to do anything you want. It shouldn't be that way.

_"One"_ is a song that you will headbang to in the car or in the club, but no one actually understands it until they see the video. The background movie is _Johnny Got His Gun (1971),_ which along with _All Quiet On The Western Front (1979),_ is one of the most impactful anti-war films ever made....This song is one of the reasons why 1975-1990 is probably the best 15 years of American music.

This video shows the "physical" aspects of being trapped in a helpless body, but Janes Hetfield has said he related to it as having mental issues that also can trap you from relating and communicating to others around you. Pretty deep song and its amazing that Metallica wrote this in there 20's

It is by far hands down the most beautifully haunting song and video combos of all time it's literally almost like it's 2 completely different songs with and without the video.

This version is a strong emotional statement!!!!!!!With the video and story if it doesn't hit your heart ♥ your not alive. Great reaction you kept it real 💯

Nope you're not wrong. This was their very first video. The movie scenes are from Johnny Got A Gun. It was really groundbreaking both for the storytelling and for the fact it was really the first time a seriously heavy metal band made a production music video on a grand scale. Great reaction!

One of the greatest and most impactful music videos ever done. An absolute masterpiece in every way!

You are correct. The movie these clips are from is called "Johnny Got His Gun" which is an anti-war film based off of the novel of the same name written by Dalton Trumbo. The story follows the injured man Joe Bonham and his experience with being trapped inside his own head with no way of communicating with the outside world. The main moral conflict being whether to keep him alive, living in his own hell or to grant him the gift of death. He eventually communicates with the doctors using the Morse Code and asks for them to kill him, but they end up ignoring his requests and forced him to remain alive... It is truly some disturbing but very powerful stuff. Highly recommend both the film and the novel

@@AileenSenpai Metallica bought the rights to the movie Johnny Got His Gun so they could use the scenes from it in the video, it was cheaper that way, they would have ended up paying out of pocket every time the music video aired if they hadn't

This nurse in this is my hero, she wanted to do the right thing

this is the video that changed my world

The video, when it was first released, was a real smack in the face. The setting for the band, the choice of the video being almost all monochromatic, the jarring film clips scattered through the video, this video was truly one in a million. And still is, from when it was released back in 1989 to today. I didn't care much for the whole album to be honest, its sound was missing something (turns out it was the bass guitar that was toned down in the mix for some reason), but this track stood out. There's another react video to this song on KZread, and one of the reactors(?) laughed all through the video. The guy had no grasp on why there's film footage throughout the video, and couldn't understand why it's one of Metallicas greatest tracks, saying that it took ages to 'get going'. It takes all sorts, I suppose.

One tidbit I love about this whole song is that Metallica actually bought the rights to johnny got his gun just to make this video, and they nailed the entire feel and helplessness of the mood.

This is my favorite song of all time. Dont know why I can not explain it. I just love this song

when i realized what the song and story was about, it was a game changer, i have never cried to metal before xD

My senior year of HS, in history class, our teacher made us watch this. Course, I was already a huge fan and knew the song and video well. But the level of shock on my classmate’s faces was unreal. Several girls were crying outloud

I have to give you praise for actually paying attention. I've seen a few reactions to this where they are just clueless, and continue to try and bob their head to the beat and act like they get it. You 100% understand the story, so much respect to you!

One of the most respectful reactions I've seen in a long time. Truly, you understand exactly that they're not just a metal band like the rest of us understand them to be
