What’s the movie Saving Private Ryan about?
Steven Spielberg directed this powerful, realistic re-creation of WWII's D-day invasion and the immediate aftermath. The story opens with a prologue in which a veteran brings his family to the American cemetery at Normandy, and a flashback then joins Capt. John Miller (Tom Hanks) and GIs in a landing craft making the June 6, 1944, approach to Omaha Beach to face devastating German artillery fire. Miller's men slowly move forward to finally take a concrete pillbox. On the beach littered with bodies is one with the name "Ryan" stenciled on his backpack. Army Chief of Staff Gen. George C. Marshall (Harve Presnell), learning that three Ryan brothers from the same family have all been killed in a single week, requests that the surviving brother, Pvt. James Ryan (Matt Damon), be located and brought back to the United States. Capt. Miller gets the assignment, and he chooses a translator, Cpl. Upham (Jeremy Davis), skilled in language but not in combat, to join his squad of right-hand man Sgt. Horvath (Tom Sizemore), plus privates Mellish (Adam Goldberg), Medic Wade (Giovanni Ribisi), cynical Reiben (Edward Burns) from Brooklyn, Italian-American Caparzo (Vin Diesel), and religious Southerner Jackson (Barry Pepper), an ace sharpshooter who calls on the Lord while taking aim. The film's historical consultant is Stephen E. Ambrose, and the incident is based on a true occurrence in Ambrose's 1994 bestseller D-Day: June 6, 1944.

My neighbor was at Omaha Beach and when I asked him if he saw this movie he said he watch just the opening minute on the boats and turned it off. He started crying and quickly regained his composure but I ended it right there seeing his discomfort. He was 82 when this came out and to this day the nicest guy I have ever met. He left WWII as a Sergeant so I'm guessing he also that rank around the time of the invasion. His wife was also a nurse during WWII, 2nd LT and she was the only person nicer than him. Never saw or heard them ever get mad, make a fuss and they were ALWAYS the first to help with anything. It was and absolute honor to know them.
My respect and thanks to that Huge man and that lovely lady.
That's very sweet. I guess seeing what they've saw, nothing in daily life will ever bother them. Also i didn't know nurses had ranks
Really? Your neighbor? wow. It's amazing how many people were at Omaha during the first attack. Must have been 100,000 by now. Not sure how the allies didn't take it so quickly with all of those men storming the beach.
My great uncle was an on-shore navy artillery spotter 1st wave at Omaha. His son went with him to see Ryan. After the movie the son asked him about how accurate it was. His reply was simply "yeah, that was it". Never talked about his experiences. Also survived Leyte Gulf 1st wave same job. Was home on leave in Ohio in August '45 saying his final farewells to family before shipping out to invade Japan expecting not to survive, when they surrendered.

So crazy the concept of ending another person's life. They were born, grew up, got drafted into war, and then you ended his story. So insane.

Absolutely. All because countries decided to get mad at each other, I think it’s impossible with the futility of mankind to understand the seriousness of war. I don’t think people know they’re actually taking away peoples Father, husband, etc. it’s just sad.
@@mikeys6830 Imagine being one of these poor bastards that just happened to run out of the bunker and get shot and killed. You never even saw it coming. But that would be your end right there in some bunker.
Even more terrifying, you send them into eternity where they most likely didn't prepare for beforehand, and most likely ended up in a place they would never dare to go had they been alive still

Many veterans walked out on this film because it was too realistic and too hard to revisit these memories. I can’t imagine all the hell and horrific things these men had to endure. To each and every one of you, alive or dead, thank you for your service and your sacrifices! 🇺🇸
I always thought it was tragically beautiful when Captain Miller grabbed Private Ryan and told him to "earn this [sacrifice]." I love to study history and see the hardships that people went through to build up the comfy, spoiled life that I live in this comfy, spoiled society that I have the luxury of inhabiting. I may not be perfect and I sometimes fall short of earning the sacrifices that so many have made for me over so many years and so many wars, but I try to live up to it. It's very powerful and humbling to realize that we need to live in a way that makes their suffering worth it.

We're watching men getting shot and burned to death, but GOD IN HEAVEN, DON'T LET THE CHILDREN HEAR A SWEAR-WORD!!!
exactly
And that "prevention" is useless because they will swear sooner or later. Atleast in their teens
@@hunterxsimple3821 That's a poor argument. The younger they hear/see stuff the more susceptible they are to persuasion and normalization (ex. My kids never hear cursing because I want them to know it's wrong; that way, when they hear it later, they'll know not to repeat it.). It's the same reason 18+ are disallowed sexual contact with -18. It's a brain development thing. I'm not comparing language and sex, just pointing out the flaw in the argument that "they'll hear it sooner or later."
someone burning to death, decapitation, mutilation. I SLEEP
bAd wOrD. REAL SHIT
America in a nutshell. We'll censor curse words and at the same time show the most violent things imaginable.
Man, I can't imagine what it was like for those guys back then and how they felt when they were either being ripped to shreds or witnessing friends die all around them while some of them were just kids fresh out of basic, so I'll always respect the sacrifices they made for their country and the suffering they experienced so that the generations after them can have a future.
Totally agree with you man, and I think there is no flag in those feelings, both sides were human being and they were fighting for their countries.
@@Alex-qt8jk In some cases, not even their countries. In this movie, there were two people wearing German uniforms who were executed by GI's while surrendering. Those executed were actually speaking in Czech saying they were unwilling conscripts and were not even German.
Plus there is the true story of the Japanese/Korean Olympic runners who had an amazing story of how they wound up defending the beaches on D-day.

One of my college friends, his father was part of an Army Engineer team that landed on Omaha beach. His boat was blown up, by either a mine or a shell; he made it to shore[he was the only survivor of his squad]without any of his equipment, missing his left boot and his pants. He told me he spent his first hour ashore scurrying about, trying not to get shot or die from hypothermia. He figured he made it because the Germans didn't want to waste a bullet on an unarmed, half naked guy.
and now to honour them we are throwing our freedoms all away with mandates and vaccine passports and restrictions etc.. I hope all the vets are gone by now so none of them have to see what we have become and what we are wasting.

Thank you.

Listen to any vet and they’ll tell you, the violence was fine, but the PTSD came from hearing all those curse words on the battlefield
All jokes aside, the smell is what I consistently here was the worst. Just a constant, thick stench of poop at all times once things got going.
In WW1, the ptsd came from thoughts of the mud
The more I studied WW2 history, the more I learned that as harrowing as this invasion was, it would have been far worse if the German military wasn't so worn down and spread thin. Hard to believe it could have been any worse than this.

Thank you to all these brave men who fought so valiantly. Also, Tom Sizemore is criminally underrated in this.
I remember seeing this movie in the theater in 1998. After the opening Normandy landing scenes there was a brief fade-to-black in which the whole theater was dead quiet. After growing up on action films that depicted combat as thrilling or romantic, the audience was stunned into silence by a brutally realistic depiction of war.
Thanks for reminding me of this. I had forgotten it
Yeah I was 11 when I saw this movie in theaters. I was used to corny 1950s and 60s era movies.
Yeah I remember too; people were either horrified, crying, or had to leave. The noise alone was just brutal.
One of the best very underrated quotes to ever come out of this movie was. *_"Get out of my ass, and onto the beach!"_* - Its the quote that everyone seems to forget.
Amen brother
I think he’s saying “okay you guys, stay out of my ass, and follow me!”
Yeah, you fight for your chosen imperial power while the rich people laugh at your sacrifice.
He says “on my ass” as in stay close to him to get off the beach
That's not what he's saying there. He is saying, "Alright you gays, GET INTO MY ASS!"
I m french and i went to Omaha beach with my son two weeks ago. We went to american cimetery too... my son has twelve years old and he knows now how and why we are free to day. He prayed and cryed on the cross to the cimetery. We didnt know them but they died for us ,for my dad born in 1945... for me in 1972 and to my son in 2010... thank you all guys..!!!!❤❤❤

@@969kurt we all know it wasn’t the commonfolk who orchestrated that war
Such a beautiful comment.
@@969kurt braindead comment. Nazi germany was the aggressor. After the nazis had invaded and occupied several territories which France and UK granted appeasement to they signed the German-Polish Non-Aggression Pact where Germany agreed they wouldn't invade Poland. Nazis cant be trusted so they violated the agreement and invaded anyway which caused the declaration of war. The only mistake France and UK made was trusting nazis in the first place
“Don’t shoot let em burn”
That’s actually crazy
Los gringos eran así 🤷🏻. Sadicos.
Y con los prisioneros ufff Mamma mía. Mejor ni te cuento.
"If your mother saw you do that she'd be very upset.." My favorite line from the movie. Could totally imagine soldiers saying that to each other.
I thought you were my mother
That was a good line
Such a good line to say to an officer who just sent a man out into the open with a massive likelihood of death without success
My Dad was seriously wounded during the Battle of Anzio and was awarded the Bronze Star. He very rarely talked about his WWII experiences - other than to say that war is indeed hell. He died before this film came out, but had he lived, I doubt he’d have wanted to see it. He kept those memories buried for a reason. Truly the Greatest Generation - those who fought and died in WWII, and those at home who valiantly worked behind the scenes.
It was indeed hell for everybody who fought in WW2.
I always loved the part where they go into that little bunker with the flamethrower and it cuts to the shot outside where the flames fly out of the front.

Can we all please appreciate how much detail this moment has 3:05 when the first German soldier that shows up gets shot regardless, in that split moment where you don't really understand what is happening until everyone shows up.
I kinda feel bad for him. 😕
He could just at least show both of his hands before he shows himself surrendering
@@nitro8394 yup before he shows his center mass lol
that's not what happens, he gets murdered on purpose. all throughout this scene they murder surrendered germans and then "let them burn"
@@concernedparent84 this is the moment in war called “transition” or “getting the upper hand” moments where the other side (after suffering heavy losses) gained the momentum. At this point, very few soldiers have the luxury or even the minimum opportunity to spare the enemy
2:36 "FLAME! DOYLE! DO IT!" Imagine 4 words being the order to literally cook half a dozen men alive. That would carry some weight on a conscience.
Its you or them
Let'em burn!
In that particular instance, I don't think he'd have much of an issue burning those men alive.
I mean he just watched thousands of his comrades get massacred on the beach next to him, so he probably would have found it some what cathartic. Same typa vibe as the guy saying "let em burn"
When your there, you wouldn't wait a single second to kill every last one you see
just noticed that at 0:09 the other german taps the gunner on the head to get his attention becuase he couldnt hear over the gun
Great attention to detail
That scene was always so fuckin cool and it’s super accurate, I love that part
By the looks of it, it looks like the other guy is a spotter to the gunner and it looks like he is tapping him on the right hand side of his helmet in order to start shooting right as there is an enemy, ie Jackson, making a run to cover
I was 13 or something when I first saw this movie, so I've always thought he was patting the gunner's head to say good job for "killing" Captain Miller #wholesomeWorldWar 🤣🤣🤣
itts ccalled the assistannt gunner if turret man goes down hes replacing him and he helps him see where his bullets r goingg to adjust accordingly
My great grandfather was at that beach, 1st wave with the 29th. He somehow, by the Grace of God, survived. Unfortunately, from what he had seen, he had drank himself to death in the 1960s. I never got to meet him, but I do have some of his war memorabilia. I can't imagine how scary it must've been storming that beach.
Sad. Must have been like hell on earth for those young gentlemen.
You would need a new word to describe the feeling. "scary" isn't even in the realm.
@@brandoncollins4812I’d say ominous
It was so terrifying to see bullets, all over the place, knowing you will die at any seconds.
My grandfather was a Sherman tank gunner under General Patton's command from Tunisia to The Battle of the Bulge.
He survived to come home. He drank himself to death and died in his mid fifties. At the funeral I had my arm around my grandmother. She never spoke a word. She just stood there and shivered. He had an eleven gun salute.
I wish our current generation understood what War is.
I remember going to the movie theaters to watch this with my dad, grandpa, and my great grandpa who was himself a WW2 airborne infantryman. And I will never forget his summary of the movie. He said the depiction of combat was 'pretty close' - except that you couldn't taste or smell it. As a kid then, I didn't really put together what that meant and now I can only imagine how hellish that truly was, being surrounded by an aroma of blood, rot, and gun powder. God bless all those who serve or have served.
Watching this on Memorial weekend in entirety, I know I am gonna cry my eyes out, as a a kid I knew a lot of WW2 Vets, all of them are gone now, Thank You to all that Served .

I m french and i have been many times on Omaha beach. The last time that was in summer at 9 am just under the cemetery.the tide was low , It was cloudy and minutes by minutes the sun has risen. I was alone on the beach and i was looking at the hills where were the machine guns... That was a very special moment...
Because of this movie I took my mother there as she had witnessed the gliders being towed over that day when she was a little girl but had no idea what was taking place until later when the news reports came in. It was very moving and deeply distressing to see so many graves in the cemetery. An incredible place but full of painful memories for many vets and their families I am sure.
I ain’t a religious man but man mad ball on the chaplain doing his job out there with no gun just there praying with fallen and wounded soldiers.

Whenever i watch this film i'm always reminded of an event when i was maybe 11 or 12. I was at my Grandma's house and we had started watching Sleepy Hollow, she deemed it too violent because of the constant beheading so instead she decided to put this film on. Little did i know the first major scene was soldiers getting dismembered and disemboweled. I think Sleepy Hollow was probably the more appropriate of the two.
I was 8 or 9 and I remember peaking over the couch as my parents watched it. No other movie has ever had such a profound impact on me like SPR. I remember sobbing for a while.
let's try this one *plays starship troopers
I remember back in 2005, having just turned 4. My parents got their divorce all finalized and squared away about 2 weeks later, and we all moved out. On Friday's I got to spend the night with my dad and the moment my mom wasn't around to keep my dad in check he just did not give a shit about what I watched. Despite being so young I remember every goddamn minute of my first viewing of SPR because there was nothing else like it up to that point in my life. Before it was all Spider-Man or sister's Disney princess but now it's like
Me: "Dad what do those words say?"
Dad: "That says Omaha Beach"
Me: "Is that bad?"
Dad: "Just watch"
Next 28 minutes was the most beautiful display of death, action, and chaos that my little brain had ever seen.

He is.....................😘
I worked in a movie theater when this came out. The seats had tables and we sold pizzas, pitchers of beer, sandwiches, etc. Every night, after the movie was finished, we would bus the tables and throw out entire pizzas and dump full pitchers of beer and soda. From the opening minute to the end, no one (and I mean no one) ate or drank a thing. They were absolutely stunned. It happened that way night after night.
Talking about theatres I saw this movie when I was in high school. Everytime a German soldier was shot the crowd in the theatre cheered. No disrespect to any German people reading this. I'm pretty sure Germans are a pretty awesome lot. The biggest cheer was heard when the German sniper was shot through the scope.
Too all ww2 veterans stilln with us from 1 vet to another you are the true heroes in a real man generation and from the bottom of my heart that each and every one of you from Europe and pacific front I thank you for you sacrifices and we love you for it...I served in Iraq twice and can't imagine the true horrors you experienced and what I endured is nothing compared

"Captain if your mother saw you do that she'd be very upset!"
"I thought you were my mother!"
God that pumps me up.
I always have the question in my head, how fortified would omaha be if the germans didnt fall for the inflatable illusion that drew thousands of germans away from omaha and stationed somewhere else thinking the attack would come from there
I think this can be happens like this en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_the_Kerch_Peninsula
You're the first person I've actually ever seen ask that question. I've wondered that same thing many times over. Allies at Omaha barely pulled through with victory as it was, and that probably was only a small percentage of germans defensive capabilities they faced that day.
A very good question - and the honest answer is that we don’t know. But one can reasonably say that there would have been far more German soldiers stationed on the Normandy defences. It is also reasonable to assume that the panzer units would have been stationed nearer Normandy than the hedge-the-bet stations further away.
That deception “battle” was, without doubt, one of the “best battles” that the Allies engaged in.
Of course, Omaha was an incredibly vicious battle. In contrast to Utah and Sword, where the landings were - comparatively - easier. My father landed on Juno beach where the opposition has been described as equally tough as Omaha. It didn’t, and doesn’t, get the same publicity as Omaha because Juno was assaulted by British and Canadian forces; they don’t make the big movies whereas the US does.
I remember very well my father taking me to see “the Longest Day” at the cinema. He left way before the end outraged at how little was shown of the British, Canadian, South African forces in battle as opposed to Americans. As I say, who makes the movies around here?
Great question. Spycraft was immensely important to the D-day landings success.

My favourite character of the movie from his personality, character development and always gave it his all in battle even though he considered to abandon the mission at one stage, not to mention Upham (who let's face it very probably only survived because he didn't actually participate in battle) and him of the 8 man search squad are the only ones to survive.
@@purplitooelfideo9732 the mission was bullshit, him trying to abandon it was actually the right thing to do, but his loyalty to his squad prevailed. The mission was a joke. A Day after d Day, which was brutal on this unit, they get thrown into some dumbass search for some paratrooper because his brothers died, just so they could lose a lot of men searching.... And then to have Matt Damon spit in their face and say fck yall, i m staying????
@@amare1cro Yea i don't blame him for considering to abandon the mission, and in essence probably it was what should have been done, remember it's a movie of course, but remember James just learned that he lost his 3 and all of his brothers, and isn't gunna see them again, so how he reacted it can make sense somehow, especially since he was only young not only between the ones who were searching with him and his own squad but all his brothers were older than him.
So anyway… *two Germans walk into a BAR*
My God. Look at that part when they finally got past the wall. There's very few Germans actually there to fight. Granted most of them are probably in the trenches or on the seawall, but look at the sparse amount of troops they had to hold the Atlantic wall. Imagine if the Germans knew where they were coming from and decided to send their entire army to Normandy...
The Germans were composed of older or younger and less capable troops that were only able to fight a defensive engagement. Rommell & Von Rundstedt prepared as well as possible but the Allied mobility far exceeded that of the Normandy defenders. I can't recall the book title but Air Force commanders did a lot of work in isolating German forces by attacking railways, roads, etc. It was called the transportation plan.
All the Germans were at the Eastern Front !
The German did know they were coming
@@starwarsroo2448 Not at that specific point. Look into Operation Fortitude, which was a major success. It had the Germans completely fooled.

One of the best Officer to Sgt lines..." I thought YOU were my Mother?!"
Spielberg nailed this. My grandfather was a professional soldier in the British army before the war broke out. He fought Rommel/Afrika Korps in the 8th army before he was captured. He was imprisoned at stalag 8b at the end of the war, worked at what I think was the chemical plant and did the subsequent forced march. He witnessed some things in Lamsdorf I cant even repeat - 8b sub camps were part of the SS controlled Auschwitz camps. He had an incredible amount of respect for Rommel and the the Afrika Korps. He would talk frequently about how much of a great leader Rommel was and how tough the Afrika Korps were.
My family and I went to see this movie after his passing and we were all stunned at how similar it was to his stories, it was almost like he had written parts of it, particularly the randomness and chaos. He also developed a tremor in his hand so that final scene is incredibly difficult to watch. Later in life a German soldier lived in the same retirement home - both of them would get in trouble for filling a 2ltr apple juice container with whisky and getting totally smashed off their faces. They had a great time. I never had any idea what the german man was saying, his accent was too thick to understand even without the alcohol. They could drink that stuff like it was water. One thing he was very clear about - no one wanted to be there.
Lest we forget.
0:11 that noise gets me every time. Chills.
The flamethrower sequence always gets me. Prometheus gift to mankind, one of our first and greatest steps towards civilization. Weaponized to great effect.
The mid to late 90s was absolute peak form for cinema for that eras styling. It was truly remarkable to experience.

I agree. The master of the Springfield M-1903 sniper rifle
Too bad that tiger blew him into pink mist.
@@The.Original.Potatocakes it was a jagdpanther not tiger
Sek bener Ryan apa riene om? 😅
At least his death in the end was quick and painless.
God bless the cause of freedom and those who fight to preserve it.
only to have it wasted by modern degenerates who think there are 40 genders and freedom of speech is only for their crazy ideology.
@@lawlestest Wasted? Because of a few? Cynical much? Turn the TV off, and you'll see a country that is doing fine.
@@1georgekitchen I highly doubt your whole country is just fine, besides I'm sure you yourself can't be present in all your states to be an accurate measure.
Sure about that …Covid is being used as an excuse to create new totalitarian states
The guy lying there saying the rosary, and the chaplain praying with the dying soldier gets me every time.
3:06 POOR DUDE SURRENDERS ONLY TO BE KILLED
2:47 OMG Steven Spilberg put rat sounds, that's a sound that rat makes when dying...
@Andres Bonilla BS. That's the cover story. Wake up.
No, that's the sound when a living body is being subjected to a quick incineration. While organs are still working, instantaneous boiling and liberation of gases emit sounds like these. Trust me, I know...
@@Edo_Aelio sure....
If any of you guys ever have the opportunity to visit Normandy I highly recommend it. I visited Omaha beach and when you’re standing where the German defenses were and you look out towards the shore I don’t know how any of those soldiers survived. The amount of open space those guys had to cover was remarkable.
Propaganda has always led us to believe that we, "The Yankees", beat Hitler. But, I have news for you: The US did not win the war against Germany. The Russians won it. The Allied Army of the US, UK, Canada, Belgium and France (and Poland, and other countries), was able to reach Normandy, thanks to the Soviets destroying the Nazis in Stalingrad, Leningrad and in Kurks, in 1943. It took them 289 days but the Russians won and without the help of nobody… OF NOBODY! Normandy was until June 1944, and Mr. “Hollywood” Patton did NOT manage to set foot on Germany until January 1945, when the Red Army was going over Berlin. General Patton was able to enter Germany only when the Russians were 180 kilometers from the Oder River (LOL). The Allies were defeated at Arnhem (Market Garden Sep. 25-1944), and at The Battle of the Bulge (Jan. 25-1945). General Patton was paralyzed without fuel, while the Red Army was preparing for its last offensive. Look: It took the Allies 8 months to advance only 550 kilometers from Normandy to Arnhem, and from there, start the Withdrawal to the border of France (What?), facing a virtually defeated German Army cuz USSR. Well… The US has been defeated in Korea, Vietnam, Cuba, Lebanon, Somalia and now, in Afghanistan. However, the powerful US Army defeated the tiny island of Grenada, as it faced a fearsome army of 287 Police Officers, since Grenada does NOT have an army. In fact, they were half this number, since the Policemen on the afternoon shift had not yet come to work. What seems incredible is the fact that the US was defeated by Vietnam. What? Did the US lose the war against Nam? OMG! Against a poor country, underdeveloped, malnourished, without Navy, without Air Force, NO Marines, Green Berets, SEALs, Rangers, Delta Force, USMC, Rambos or Chuck Norris. Defeated by a country of peasants without strategic plans, no B-59 Bombers, PT-Boats, Atomic Submarines, without Aircraft Carriers, NO Continental Missiles, nor Tanks, Choppters, AR-15, Gatlin Machins, Flamethrowers, Napalm, Agent Orange... and to top it off, defeated by an army of teenagers who had no shoes… WITHOUT SHOES!!! Army that fought with bamboo sticks!!! Charlie Kicked Our Asses and even invaded our Embassy.
I was there too. But i was an littlte child. My uncle fighted in Stalingrad
Agreed. There and Point du Hoc are moving for the soul! I was there in 03’ and I must admit I felt unworthy to walk upon that sand.. but then I imagined them saying “we freed this beach do all posterity can enjoy these quiet, peaceful places”..
I went in high school and it was a humbling experience. It was so strange to sit on that beach and visualize what happened with this battle. I don't know how some soldiers made it out
That's what got me as well when visiting.....how far from the beach to the cliffs.
Isn't it such a auto switch for human compassion. One second you're peppering some guys with lead. The next you show compassion and allow them to surrender.... only for a short time being; of course.
May God in heaven. Bless these man ! Who sacrifice so much .For our freedom !
It's crazy if you think about it, that's the dark side of religion. Both sides pray for their victory, how could a God side with both, or any for that matter?
Here's your history fact of the day: the Pope worked with Hitler.
Dont shoot, let them burn. Something that stayed with me for 20 years since Ive 1st seen this movie. I didnt get to see battle, buy my father was a vet from the Bosnia - Serbia war, Ive heard similar things from him, the few times he oppenned up about a 4 year war basically in Tom Hanks's role.
The thing that elevates this movie to god tier that so many movies can't touch is the sound design, so many film makers fail to realize your most active sensory when watching a film is your hearing not your sight, you can FEEL this movie.
Speilberg at his finest. He made this part of history so real.
When I see this scene again now, I feel the same way I felt as an 11-year-old when I saw the movie for the first time. My father had "smuggled" me into the cinema because I was far too young, but he really wanted to show me this movie. We sat in the 2nd or 3rd row and had to look straight up the whole time as we were watching directly in front of a huge screen. I can still clearly remember the face of a woman sitting next to me, her horrified and distraught look. I myself was absolutely beside myself with fear and dread and thought only one thing: I NEVER WANT TO EXPERIENCE WAR IN MY LIFE, EVER! This movie had scared the hell out of me and had probably achieved its goal. For me, Saving Private Ryan, and especially the landing scene on Omaha Beach, is and remains the most authentic and realistic depiction of war violence ever filmed.
"don't shoot, let em burn," and then the first guy who surrenders also happens to be the only one who gets killed lol. Savage mode
The line "DON'T SHOOT LET EM BURN." Was so cold
My respect for the man who served ww2! My dad fought on the side of Germany, but he was in the Hurtgen forest. I am 70 years old now!
I once drove through Normandy and was absolutely astounded by the number of German military cemeteries. I had never before thought about the German soldiers who lost their lives. It affected me quite a lot.
Unfortunately, not just german soldiers died... what about china? A million CIVIL casualties
When this movie first came out I was a kid and remember my dad telling me that a WWII veteran had a nervous break down in the theater during this opening scene.
“Don’t shoot! Let em’ burn” That’s when you know you’re on a different level.
Well, he's coming from the beach and the things he saw...
Our military today has forgotten God.
Good, because God has no part in the act of killing fellow men
The sounds of the bullets zipping thru the air is the most realistic part of these scenes.
The sound design in this movie is seriously fantastic.
When I started working at Home Depot. We had a greeter who was at Omaha Beach he even brought the tags of the people he killed. One of the nicest people I’ve ever met. RIP Davey. So long ago..
Watching this scene was so overwhelming..I wonder how gruesome it wudve been in real.. masterpiece of a movie.. I ve watched this over a 100 times.. no movie can come close..❤
No. SPR isn't a masterpiece due to how it goes worse as it progressed with the ending being nothing more than a bad Kelly's Heroes ripoff.
Also SPR was surpassed before and after too! Movies like Das Boot, Die Brucke, Memphis Belle and Stalingrad were superior before it and movies like Unknown Soldier, Letters from Iwo Jima, 9th of April and The Outpost have been superior to it after.
@Pikkabuu sure, will see those mentioned here.. let me see.. y I like SPR is it has the right mix of action and dialogs.. no too much action neither too much dialogs..
@@tomrohan8480
So why didn't you point that out in your OP instead of going how well the landing scene was filmed?
@@Pikkabuu Ma'am/ Sir, I still say that without doubt.. nothing beats d landing scene.. no movie might have a scene like that.. I've seen letters from Iwo Jima.. yet to see the other movies you mentioned..
@@tomrohan8480
Lots of scenes beat the SPR D-Day scene. Unknown Soldier alone has tons of great realistic fight scenes.
What’s so awesome is that the Norman descendants gave me free shot of liquor for being an American visiting their restaurant in Arromanches France in 2008. The owner said she always does this as a gift for being liberated. family generations restaurant
So classy.
Note to self… if I ever go there pretend to be American
I just went there! (late August)
@@brissydiggin5209 Too bad Arromanches was liberated by the British. 50th Div to be exact.
Oh shut it you jingoistic clown
as of german descendance, i think i'm just gonna keep quiet lol
RIP Tom S
God bless all those who served and died but especially those who witnessed this and dealt with this so I and my family would never have to
this movie is truly a masterpiece. it's so real
Yeah America won the War didn't you know?..........................BS
I still remember seeing this in a theatre when it came out, and when they finally got that mg42 everyone cheered.
I was able to visit this place in March of this year. To see how peaceful it is now and to contrast with the horrors then was just surreal. The American cemetery was beautiful and peaceful. RIP. Thank you for your services.
The german cemetery of La Cambe is also a place people should visit when going to Normandy. It is very touching to walk past those stones and see old veterans of WW1 burried side by side with kids not 16 years of age that got sent to defend the beaches.
War swallows all, and it makes you realize even more the waste of lives, and appreciate even more the freedom some died to give us
"I thought you were my mother." is one of those lines thats always stuck with me since childhood.
Respect for the camera man
rest easy Tom Sizemore. Legend
I've been there, at the beach, 50 year after the landing. The sheer cliffs aren't exaggerated but understated here. The steel-reinforced concrete that's left (on a very active, very stormy coastal beach!) is incredibly thick. And this was the part of France that the Germans didn't think the Allies would attack. It is awe-inspiring to go there and just see.
The cemetery there is another sight worth seeing.
DOG ONE EXIT! RIGHT HERE!
why does the second bullet make the sandbags explode? lol
God bless our vets and the ones that are still lost
Captain miller had the makings of a varsity captain
Been on 4 combat deployments. Used to talk to the vets at a bar in Virginia. Whats funny is i remember telling them that no one now adays would hate to fight in in ww2 but the vets would tell us they would hate to fight in our war cause you cant tell who the enemy was. Greatest generation
SPR is the first movie I know which took the greatest pains of capturing war brutality with the utmost realism possible.
And that makes it one of the best ever.
Then you haven't seen many movies. Stalingrad, Das Boot, Die Brucke, Come and See and All Quiet at the Western Front came far before SPR and depicted war in a very realistic manner.
@@Pikkabuu Oh yes, except for Come and See I have seen ALL of the movies you mentioned. But did any of them show the same merciless depiction of gore and resultant psychological issues the same way as Ryan?
Due to zeitgeist censorship, not quite so close.
@@Daniel4646
If you had seen those movies then you would know that they DID showcase the effect war has on ones mental fortitude.
Or did you forget the sheer panic the men had in Das Boot as they had nothing to do than wait and hope that the Allied destroyers wouldn't find them?
Or in Die Brucke how the kids are so ready for the war and fighting but when they get a dose of reality the propaganda falls off fast.
SPR isn't as special as you think...
Little movie detail at :23 In this clip you can see that he has Garand thumb. It’s when you load the m1 garand rifle and the bolt smashes you thumb. Possibly because he use a manual bolt action on his sniper rifle so he’s not proficient in the use of the garand.
Great catch
Nice catch!
It’s a small price to pay for being armed with a Garand versus a Mauser.
He’s not using an M1 Garand, that’s a Springfield.
@@JoshEbersole I believe though the detail was put in there indicating he got Garand Thumb previously before using the M1903. Who knows for sure though.
when i saw this scene i think it was the most terryfing thing that i ever saw in my life, and understand that theres no terror film that compares with this
the brave men who stormed the beaches at Normandy had BRASS BALLS - PERIOD! they were warriors & true protectors of our freedoms. they don't make men like this anymore. they had a job to do, they did it, didn't complain about it, & asked for nothing in return. we owe these men our lives & our freedoms, & will forever be indebted for the service & bravery. thank you.
That "DO IT!" with some silence, then hell opening up is just unbeatable
The realism in this movie is insane... Everyone talks about the first 15 minutes, but hell my brother (force recon marine 3 deployments to Afghanistan 1 to Africa) said that the entire movie is pretty realistic from the sounds of the bullets cracking through the air to the scene where they assault the machine gun nest... He said it's all pretty spot on... The #1 thing (according to my bro) is when the medic gets hit and starts calling for his mother... He said almost every guy he seen get seriously wounded or killed called for their mama even the afghans he worked with.. shits wild
Hopefully he also pointed out that the final fight is nothing but BS.
I saw this movie in theaters 25 years ago. At that time, I was a soldier, so I sympathized with the battle more. Respect to all the soldiers who gave their lives for peace.
- From Republic of Korea.
you from south korea?
@@hziqdnl he is, north korea is known as the democratic people's republic of korea
South Korea.
American soldier opens fire, WHOLE group of jerries go down. American war movies haven't changed much.
As a kid growing up with video games and violent movies, I glorified war like many other young men. Now I can hardly watch war films. Every shot fired, every man dead is the end of a story. An ended bloodline and a broken mother. All of them fighting a politician's war. While the big wigs sit back at home and spread their lies. In the heat of the moment you don't even think about it, but a few mere seconds ago, that body you are stepping over had dreams, fears, loved ones, hobbies, and a unique personality.
Adding to that, considering how a normal everyday person would not be able to handle the mental strain of knowing they killed someone without changing drastically in some way, so they became so convinced by propaganda to dehumanize their enemy so they wouldn't think twice pulling the trigger, thinking of it more like pest control or something similar to that effect. Do take what I said with a grain of salt though, just basing it off of reccurent patterns of behaviour that happens in any major conflict that I couldn't help but notice
This Hell Let Loose gameplay is amazing!
Agreed. Me and my squad defended the beaches. Killed at least 15 troops with my MG42 before we lost the first objective. Fantastic game and it feels realistic
Getting used to it still. Need practice but is a good change of pace from the major games like BF and COD
Someone shot me in the eyes while I was manning the MG42 on sandbag mount
@@cl7700 it's definitely different from call of duty and battlefield which I do like. This game was developed by people who care about video games and those who play it.
Every single battle feels so real that in many ways you have to make it feel real by acting like a soldier, officer, tank commander and commander for it to play well.
@@ramal5708 haha has happened to be numerous of times 😅. A man the MG42 and all I hear is ping and the screen goes blank 😅
After seeing something so realistic that veterans actually had to walk out of the cinema like this, it's hard to imagine how any territory was ever gained and even if it was, then at such a great cost
Call of duty in 10D
Thank God all those Canadians sacrificed their lives at Dieppe so this could happen without horrible casualties for the allies. Just another Canadian contribution gone completely forgotten.
