Great film but typical American whitewash on history. Where were the British and Canadians? They made up the bulk of invasion troops and my Uncle was one of them RIP.
@@stihl3826 the Omaha invasion was mostly American. So we followed Tom Hanks and a few other Americans. Once we meet Ryan I think a few are british and canadians at the beginning, and admittedly the people who had sailed the Americans in should've been British (after the Omaha invasion was mainly the Americans with Hanks that were sent on the mission to save Private Ryan)
I love it. He dedicated his first directing Oscar to his mom, and the second to his dad. You know, Spielberg is often called over-sentimental and sappy. However, if you watch him in interviews or his award speeches, you will see a man who is a genuine article. It isn't Steven being sappy or manipulative; he is simply being real and actually giving a damn in a time where false faces and meaningless words are the norm. He is one of my heroes, and he has made cinema and the world a much better place.
I wished Saving Private Ryan would have won Best Picture instead of Shakespeare in Love. Such a landmark in film. Spielberg deserve that Best Director Oscar. It was the best win of the night.
Hdog Hillyer Apparently, there was a dirty publicity war instigated by Weinstein in order to get Shakespeare In Love to win. This article elaborates further on it: www.hollywoodreporter.com/features/harvey-weinstein-steven-spielberg-nastiest-oscar-campaign-ever-1187125
I mean as a person who likes Shakespeare in Love, it simply can't hold a candle against Saving Private Ryan which is probably the best war film ever made. The writing, the acting, the directing and the music are all amazing. It is a shame that Tom didn't win and the movie itself didn't win.
When you have D-Day veterans telling you that your movie is the most realistic portrayal of D-Day they have ever seen then you know you've got something.
K Kampy Another one that is very realistic before “Saving Private Ryan” is “The Longest Day” from the early 60’s. That film had people from both sides giving their accounts of how everything went down on D-Day and on the beaches!!
James Moyner the longest day is one of my favorite movies, and one of the best WW2 movies ever. But I do think Saving private Ryan does a better job of portraying the horrors of war and the mental effects.
It's really moving when he's stepping up the ladders and all the standing ovation behind him...and the background music...God, it makes me cry. HE IS THE BEST OF ALL TIME.
I can live with Shakespeare in Love winning Best Picture, because Spielberg still won Best Director. Don't get me wrong here, Saving Private Ryan will always be my choice for Best Picture of 1998.
C.J. O'Dell if Shakespeare in Love would have won for directing too, it would be ridiculous, a big scandal, stupid, anyway a disaster, thank God they gave the academy award to Steven Spielberg, as I said, the only respectable winner of the night, the only one who truly deserved
@@bhavisyaratna8404 Private Ryan and The Thin Red Line (forgetting the gigantic disrespect of not nominating Truman Show and American History X) were fucking robbed by Weinstein's Shakespeare in Love in the Best Picture Award.
@@omerkocak3326 The Thin Red Line's only fault was releasing the same year as Saving Private Ryan. If it didn't, it would he hailed today as the masterpiece that it is and would have swept the Oscars whenever it got released.
@Ryan Akwar For instance, Adrian brody is in the film, but he barely speaks because malick cut him out of the film. Also john Travolta is in the film, but only for one scene. Malick cast alot of these A list actors, but it feels like he doesn't know what to do with them, because during editing he cuts them out of the film. Also, I don't like that because you cast those actors for their time and talent, but when you cut them and reduce their roles and they don't know about it, then you wasted their time and effort, something I dont like that malick does. Unless for saving private ryan, Steven Spielberg knew how to cast the actors and tell them long they would be in the movie, and not putting too much A list stars.
Saving Private Ryan was the start of everything. Vin Diesel's career started from there. Band of Brothers is made based on it. Medal of Honor game franchise was also based on it, which later inspired the Call of Duty franchise.
I love that Spielberg got to mention his mother when he won for Schindler's List and mention his father when he won for Saving Private Ryan. Truly blessed man indeed.
he gave a shout out to his mom when he won the Best Director award for Schindler's List ... and now he gives a shout out to his dad for winning this same award for Saving Private Ryan ... love love love Steven Spielberg(:
Interesting how the presenters for Spielberg’s two Director wins (Schindler’s List, Saving Private Ryan) happened to be Oscar-winning actor-turned-directors. Directors being Clint Eastwood and Kevin Costner.
Steven Spielberg should have won these Oscars: 1976, Best Director - Jaws 1982, Best Director - Raiders of the Lost Ark 1983, Best Director - E.T. 1983, Best Picture - E.T. 1994, Best Director - Schindler's List 1994, Best Picture - Schindler's List 1999, Best Director - Saving Private Ryan 1999, Best Picture - Saving Private Ryan And, had it not been for Star Wars in 1978 (which George Lucas should have won both Best Director and Best Screenplay) he should have won Best Director for Close Encounters of the Third Kind.
Star Wars (A New Hope), best writing and directing? Lucas is (in his own words) 'the King of Wooden Dialogue' and can't direct for shit, look at the fucking prequels! Directing is about directing actors too, not only the use of camera, space and other such elements. The prequels are terribly written, and the acting? Good lord. I'm a massive massive Star Wars fan, A New Hope worked because of the amazing story and characters, but definitely not direction and writing wise, even though the dialogue was mostly saved by actors and actresses as Alex Guinness and Carrie Fisher (a well known script doctor). Harrison Ford even said "you can type this, George. But try saying it."
I like winners because they study, work hard and be creative on their talent. I agreed with the Oscar's voter picks than anybody else. The Oscar voters has opinion and so do I.
I finished high school with a certificate of completion. I have common sense, faith and believed god. I'm a fan of the Academy Awards than anybody else and I don't care what anybody say.
I remember sitting in a theatre in Sydney Australia in November 1998. I had just starting going out with my girlfriend (still together 15 years later) and I was with a good friend and the rumours of how graphic this film was had just started to surface. Cinema was packed, hot and you could feel the tension that what we were about to see was going to be rough. Then of course we landed on Omaha beach and the rest as they say was history.
Life is beautiful was such an amazing movie. I saw this movie in high school and a clip from in one of my college courses and I was almost about to break out into tears. Well, I kind of did but I honestly love that movie so much.
Way to go,Steven! Another well-deserved Oscar for what is easily one of your best films. I love it when he wins Oscars,because,in my mind,he deserves every one that he has gotten. I hope he gets nominated next year,because I want to see him win as many more as he can. As Martin Scorsese said at the Globes in 2009,"Steven Spielberg and the art of cinema. One is unthinkable without the other.'
Almost everyone in the arena stood up and cheered when Steven Spielberg won. But when Shakespeare in Love won Best Picture, nobody stood up except for the people that were associated with the movie. Even the audience expected Saving Private Ryan to win. Damn you, Harvey Weinstein. Damn you.
Its been a decade but when you watch Saving Private Ryan, its like its made in this modern generation. Its timeless. Thats how good it is. Great actors, dialogue, plot. Its perfect. One of my fav film.
Daniel Casasbuenas -- not exactly. It's a play on words. The term "the godfather of..." is used in many arenas designating something as 'the best of' something. Using "the Godfather of" here, with a capital G, is quite appropriate.
+adamzanzie I would bet on it. The vaulted akedemie seems to be catching up - by giving Spielberg that which he has long been overdue!!!!!!!!! The idiot Grammy's did the same thing - Elvis won his 3rd Grammy in 1989 for Hound Dog which was released in the 1950s!!!!!!!!!!! And it was only a dozen years AFTER his death!!! YES - Elvis only won 3 Grammy's and is STILL - the only singer to sell over 1 billion albums!! DOes this make the Grammy's look useless????
Two of the best war movies of all time this year, Saving Private Ryan and The Thin Red Line. Both captured the pain of war in very different ways and yet they were both outstanding if one of them won Best Picture it would've done better justice (especially for Malick imo, since he hasn't won an Oscar yet and is very much deserving).
He's a very reclusive person, so I'm sure he didn't even show up at the Oscars. That was the first movie he made in 20 years, and he doesn't make movies very often, he usually only makes them for himself. A mark of a true artist.
The film literally gave me a lesson of respecting what our ancestors have done to us. Ryan embodies my generation ! What a meaningful movie ! It made us think and totally deserve an Oscar though i haven't seen Shakespeare in love at all !!
You are so right ..... How can they give 7 Oscars to Shakespeare in love... I mean it's a decent film...but saving private Ryan is a masterpiece !! firstly, Judie dench won for a 8 minute role.. though she is deserving of an Oscar in her magnificent career ...as the saying goes "All the right actors e win for the wrong role ! " secondly, Saving private Ryan was hands down the best picture...Academy is just so shitty sometimes And finally, Gwyneth paltrow won best actress 😠😠😠😈..... as she sobbed while taking the Oscar I sobbed how it was robbed from Cate Blanchett for Elizabeth 😥
+subhayu Biswas cate blanchett shoulda have 3 oscars counting her role in elizabeth, shakespeare along with crash are the worst recent oscars winners, if they wouldn't award spielberg that would be the worst oscars ever made...

subhayu Biswas totally agree, at least that film gain fame as one of the worst best picture winners, at least this year the academy chose the right winner
Jorge Esquivia Escobar ya spotlight deserved it.. Though if u follow the Academy trend since 1950, the best picture at the Oscars gets at least 3 trophies (best film, screenplay, editing) ... But this time Editing went to Madmax and Spotlight became one of a kind film to win two Oscars including best picture just a trivia wanted to share .😄
It still blows my mind how this man was able to create such imagery in Saving Private Ryan, he absolutely went to the core truth of what war actually was, without even having been there. Steven Spielberg is a genius. Literally travelled back in time and filmed an actual war. That's what it felt like when watching Saving Private Ryan.
I was actually just watching this because I have NEVER seen Terrence Malick in any video of any kind. All I know his appearance from are pictures and his cameo in Badlands. Well... it didn't change after watching this video hahaha
It was really rotten for SS to win the Oscar and then have Shakespeare in Love win the best picture that was a big joke Ryan was a pure masterpiece Shakespeare was just stupid
Saving Private Ryan gave me one of the most entertaining moments in many, many years. I had to cry at the end and believe me... it's so damn hard to bring me to tears.
Many people (myself included) use to say that, for The Revenant, Inharritu should have thanked Terrence Mallick and Andrei Tarkovsky too. About Saving Private Ryan, Spielberg really, really should have thanked Stanley Kubrick and Elem Klimov too (and some others).
Steven deserved that standing ovation. I loved Saving Private Ryan. It's a very historic film and it's important in itself because it reflects all the brave soldiers that fought during World War II and sacrificed so much for our country so that we may still stand today.
"savin' private ryan", and "life is beautiful".. 2 films that teach us, what mankind is able to do to each other.. in my opinion: both deserve an oscar
Wow, man, Hymn To The Fallen is such a beautiful piece of music. One of the most beautiful movie themes of all time. John Williams should have won this year as well.
I dream of winning a best screenplay Oscar for writing a Spielberg movie every time I see this video. If you’re looking at this, Mr. Spielberg, call me to option my war script.
It is one of the most deserved Oscar in cinema history because when you see for the first time only the initial five minutes of saving private Ryan, you think as a person instinctively that the guy who directed this, you deserve any award in the cinema.
I watched Saving Private Ryan last night and it was an epic film. After I watched the film I said ''Happy 72nd Birthday, Steven.'' Your films inspired me to become an actor. You are my favourite director and one day I hope to get to work with you in future.
There was absolutely no contest that year. Spielberg was miles ahead of the competition in terms of his directorial efforts on Saving Private Ryan, which is still a groundbreaking war film. It is still unbelievable that it didn't also win Best Picture, but some think the Best Picture Oscar, being the most prized, was not won fairly
Steven Spielberg very cool Director Robert ZEMECKIS very fantastic director ❤️❤️❤️ from india I watched and ❤️their films Back to the future Indiana Jones Forrest gump The polar express And Jurassic park
this was like ''hey,bro we fucked you up you movie deserved to win but we give it to shakespere in love instead,so we will give the best director award to make you happy.
First 30 minutes in this film was a real war experience.

When Spielberg won for Schindler’s List, he thanked his Mom while he thanked his dad when he won for Saving Private Ryan.
"And dad...you're the greatest, thank you for showing me that there's honor in looking back and respecting the past."
Saving Private Ryan was a masterpiece. It definitely deserved the Oscar for Best Picture.

You're the bouche yourself I mean the douche
It still blows my mind how this man was able to create such imagery in Saving Private Ryan, he absolutely went to the core truth of what war actually was, without even having been there. Steven Spielberg is a genius. Literally travelled back in time and filmed an actual war. That's what it felt like when watching Saving Private Ryan.
I was actually just watching this because I have NEVER seen Terrence Malick in any video of any kind. All I know his appearance from are pictures and his cameo in Badlands. Well... it didn't change after watching this video hahaha
Watching the reaction and listening to the applause we know the Saving Private Ryan is the real Best Picture of that year.
It was really rotten for SS to win the Oscar and then have Shakespeare in Love win the best picture that was a big joke Ryan was a pure masterpiece Shakespeare was just stupid
Saving Private Ryan gave me one of the most entertaining moments in many, many years. I had to cry at the end and believe me... it's so damn hard to bring me to tears.
Many people (myself included) use to say that, for The Revenant, Inharritu should have thanked Terrence Mallick and Andrei Tarkovsky too.
About Saving Private Ryan, Spielberg really, really should have thanked Stanley Kubrick and Elem Klimov too (and some others).
Steven is such a beautiful person, God it hurts so much
He did a wonderful job with Saving Private Ryan, he deserves it definitely.
boy what a list of films. "saving private ryan," AND "life is beautiful" in the same year. tough call to choose between them. tough call
Hanks starting the beard for Cast Away
i remember seeing meryl streep at the oscars looking kinda hippie-ish , she was getting ready for mamma mia
Spielberg is a very humble man.
he deserve this oscar...For me saving private ryan is one of the best movies i´ve ever seen
SAVING PRIVATE RYAN DESERVES FOUR MORE OSCARS - 1. BEST PICTURE (OF COURSE) 2. BEST ORIGINAL SCREENPLAY 3. ART DIRECTION 4. LEADING ACTOR (TOM HANKS).
screenplay…? really ? lmao
Not Screenplay and Actor, sorry
Given the Academy's love for musicals, I wonder if Spielberg will be getting another standing ovation next spring?
Saving Private Ryan is my all-time favorite movie. No other movie even comes close.10 stars!!!
Steven deserved that standing ovation. I loved Saving Private Ryan. It's a very historic film and it's important in itself because it reflects all the brave soldiers that fought during World War II and sacrificed so much for our country so that we may still stand today.
"savin' private ryan", and "life is beautiful".. 2 films that teach us, what mankind is able to do to each other.. in my opinion: both deserve an oscar
Wow, man, Hymn To The Fallen is such a beautiful piece of music. One of the most beautiful movie themes of all time. John Williams should have won this year as well.
I dream of winning a best screenplay Oscar for writing a Spielberg movie every time I see this video. If you’re looking at this, Mr. Spielberg, call me to option my war script.
Remember this: If you can dream it, you can make it
Saving Private Ryan is one of the best movie's I've seen!
Steven and Tom is wonderful together=)
He deserved it so much! :)
Go Steven Spielberg!!!
It is one of the most deserved Oscar in cinema history because when you see for the first time only the initial five minutes of saving private Ryan, you think as a person instinctively that the guy who directed this, you deserve any award in the cinema.
For the opening sequence alone. How this movie lost Best Picture remains a mystery to me.
Weinstein bribe the academy, that's why
I’m not sure which was more of an outrage - Saving Private Ryan not winning the Oscar for Best Picture or that it lost to Shakespeare In Love.
I would like to thank John Williams for once again providing an amazing score.
I watched Saving Private Ryan last night and it was an epic film. After I watched the film I said ''Happy 72nd Birthday, Steven.'' Your films inspired me to become an actor. You are my favourite director and one day I hope to get to work with you in future.
The greatest film maker of my lifetime
Beautiful speech. Honoring an oscar to his dad, what a great feeling that most be for him.
Oscars 2013: "And the Oscar goes to... Steven Spielberg for "Lincoln"!"
Speaker: This is the fourth Academy Award to Steven Spielberg!
There was absolutely no contest that year. Spielberg was miles ahead of the competition in terms of his directorial efforts on Saving Private Ryan, which is still a groundbreaking war film. It is still unbelievable that it didn't also win Best Picture, but some think the Best Picture Oscar, being the most prized, was not won fairly
Roberto bengini looks so happy for him aha
The thin red line oml best war film I’ve ever seen
Saving Private Ryan was a fabulous movie. I never thought Shakespeare in love was that great.....
Eh, to each his own.
I love how genuine he is. Well deserved Steven!
