More cleavage please! 😛

This movie was pretty accurate according to veterans except when they storm the beach in Normandy it wasn't 20 minutes it took the whole day

Fair warning... the only thing I've seen commonly reacted to and which is unequivocally more graphic than this is HBO's miniseries The Pacific. It is *SO* good - IMHO the single most nuanced depiction of war put to screen - but soul-crushing on a level that's difficult to convey.

The 18 min beach scene in the movie took over 5 1/2 hours in real life. Average age of US troops at Omaha Beach: 20 1/2 (Historian Andrew Roberts).

Ok, in terms of happy movies, I have a few suggestions--all classic comedies: The Apartment (1960), Some Like it Hot (1959), Duck Soup (1933), The Pink Panther (1963), Singing In The Rain (1952)

The opening scene Ryan goes to the grave of his brother, at the end he's at the grave of Capt. Miller's grave. His family is directly behind him at the first grave site, at the end, his family remains at a respectful distance, except for his wife who has no idea who Miller is. Ryan went home and never told anyone about that day in Ramell. WW II was fought by men; the average age of U. S. combat personnel was 26 years old. The SGT. in the assault boat wasn't putting food in his mouth, that was chewing tobacco. They were in very rough seas and it took hours for the soldiers to disembark the troop ships into the Higgins Boats. Not knowing when they would ever have a good cooked meal again, many of the soldiers ate a hearty breakfast before disembarking. The first group to load into the boats bobbed around in the water for several hours before heading toward the beach. Many get seasick during that time. The vomit wasn't the main problem, the blood in the boats created a psychological problem when the boats returned to bring more soldiers to the beach. In Vietnam, the average age of combat personnel was 22, not 19 as many people think. Also, the largest number of U. S. personnel killed in action in Vietnam those who enlisted not draftees. The 320th Barrage Balloon Battalion was the only unit that stormed the beaches on D-Day that was made up entirely of Black Americans. They displayed unmatched bravery during the 48 hours it took to secure the beaches. Members of 320th, unlike the other units, had to remain on the beaches with no relief units, exposed to continuous enemy fire during the 2 days it took to secure the area. Because they were Black, the photographers never show them in the photos taken on the beaches that day. All shots showing the barrage balloons are taken at far away distances.The 320th Barrage Balloon Battalion served for almost 150 days in France following the invasion. They continued flying their balloons over the beaches and eventually a portion flew over the port of Cherbourg before the worsening weather in October prevented ships from landing any more supplies. Spielberg researched small details, for instance, Pvt Jackson's right thumb has a black mark on it. That's actually a bruise that many U. S. riflemen had caused from getting their thumb caught in the loading mechanism from not locking the bolt back properly when loading/reloading the M1 Garand rifle. It was called "Garand thumb". Capt. Miller said he taught at Thomas Alva Edison High School. That's a Spielberg paying homage to Thomas Alva Edison High School in Philadelphia, PA. 54 former students from that school were killed in action in the Vietnam War, more than any other school in the nation. The Hitler Youth Knife is more literary liberty than fact. That knife is a hiking knife given to members of the Hitler Youth Corps, which was much like the Boy Scouts in training while being indoctrinated with the ideology of National Socialist German Workers Party (Nazi). The only other group they were issued to were members of the SA. This knife was never part of a soldier of the Wehrmacht. As for the reaction of Carparzo and Mellish, it is highly unlikely an average G.I. would have known what that knife was and its symbolism. The matter of Mellish crying is also not likely as the Allies didn't find out about the fate of Jews in Europe until the first concentration camp was liberated April 4, 1945. The war in Europe ended May 7, 1945. So, following the real timeline, Mellish dies before the Allies knew anything about concentration and death camps. But, after-all, it is Hollywood. Saving Private Ryan is not based on the Sullivan brothers. Fritz Niland became the basis for Private Ryan. He was dropped behind enemy lines on D-Day and spent five days in the French countryside, eventually earning a Bronze star in combat for taking a French. Robert Rodat first came up with the plot in 1994 when he saw a monument in a cemetery in Tonawanda, New York. The monument was to the Niland Brothers - 4 young American men who fought in the Second World War. When three of the Nilands were reported killed, the surviving brother - Fritz - was sent home. This inspired Rodat to write his movie. There are 26 military cemeteries across Normandy, but the most famous and visited site is the poignant Normandy American Cemetery in Colleville-sur-Mer. The Normandy American Cemetery and Memorial in France is located in Colleville-sur-Mer, on the site of the temporary American St. Laurent Cemetery, established by the U.S. First Army on June 8, 1944 as the first American cemetery on European soil in World War II. The cemetery site, at the north end of its half mile access road, covers 172.5 acres and contains the graves of 9,387 of our military dead, most of whom lost their lives in the D-Day landings and ensuing operations. In real life with the Nilands, it actually turned out later that another of the brothers was alive - he’d been held captive in a Burmese POW camp. Attempts to point out the "discrepancies" between the stories of Fritz Niland and James Ryan are often misguided, as Ryan is only based on Niland, and is not meant to be (or claimed to be) a completely accurate representation of him. The differences in the two stories seem to stem in part from the fact that the true story of Sergeant Niland and his brothers is often reported inaccurately. The character of Private James Ryan is a mixture of fact and fiction, with some of the fictional elements coming from the erroneous stories about the Niland brothers. The German credited as "Steamboat Willie" who was released by Capt. Miller is not the German who engaged and killed Pvt Stanley "Fish Mellish during hand-to-hand combat. "Steamboat Willie" was in the Heer (Army) of the Wehrmacht and the other was in the Waffen SS which was a paramilitary organization and not part of the Wehrmacht. Originally, the SS uniform differed from the Wehrmacht uniform-whereas the regular army wore field grey, the SS wore black, head to toe (although later the SS did adopt field grey and often wore camouflage pattern uniform. American troops were brown and they didn't wear jackboots. The lightning bolt SS insignia can be seen on the right collar lapel of the German as he passes Upham and reaches the bottom of the staircase. During the Battle at Ramelle, Upham became shell shocked and was unable to save a .30 cal team from a German soldier because he was too frozen with fear to do anything about it. He carried all the .30 caliber ammo at the battle of Ramelle, but was unable to do his job because he was always either pinned down or too afraid to move. He signified the loss of innocence in war and thought that soldiers could be civil, but he later succumbed to the evils of war and made up for his cowardice when he shot Steamboat Willie for killing Miller even after the latter had shown Willie mercy earlier. Not only did Upham represent the loss of innocence of war but he also symbolized the "Every-man". His illusion of neutrality faded when he finally had to pick and side and kill Steamboat Willie, his character revelation being how he finally understood the horrors of war. It became clear that Upham had turned into a hardened and true soldier because of the whole experience. Upham's rank was Tech 5 Corporal (E-5), that meant he was technician in a specialty area. His was maps and translator, he was not a combat infantryman and was never trained for front-line duty. Gunnery Sergent Hartman explained it this way in the movie Full Metal Jacket: "It is your killer instinct which must be harnessed if you expect to survive in combat. Your rifle is only a tool. It is a hard heart that kills. If your killer instincts are not clean and strong you will hesitate at the moment of truth. You will not kill. "The way the next of kin was notified of their loved one was killed in action during WW II was by Western Union telegram delivered by a bicycle riding messenger. If you were being notified of multiple deaths as was the case in this film, notification was done in-person by a military officer, usually from the same branch of service as the deceased when possible. That's why the mother upon seeing the officer exit the car momentarily froze knowing that meant at least 2 of her boys were either KIA or MIA, as the priest exits the car, she staggers and completely collapsed. That is one of the most important scenes in the movie. The mother speaks no lines in the movie, yet her breakdown brought a flood of tears form movie goers in theaters across the nation. Another important scene is it is clear from the few lines Ryan's wife speaks that she has never heard the name of Capt. John Miller, this means John has never spoken to her about what happened that day in Ramelle. What many missed is listening to Ryan speaking at the Miller's grave of how he thought about what those 8 men did for him every day was not guilt, but commitment. There are units assigned to recover, bury and mark graves. Usually these were temporary battlefield cemeteries. As hostilities moved farther away, a more permanent site would be selected, at the family's request, whenever possible, the remains would be returned to the United States. At the Normandy Cemetery Visitors Center, you'll find the following inscription: IF EVER PROOF WERE NEEDED THAT WE FOUGHT FOR A CAUSE AND NOT FOR CONQUEST, IT COULD BE FOUND IN THESE CEMETERIES. HERE WAS OUR ONLY CONQUEST: ALL WE ASKED … WAS ENOUGH … SOIL IN WHICH TO BURY OUR GALLANT DEAD.General Mark W. ClarkChairman, American Battle Monuments Commission, 1969-1984

This should be watched by everyone

My dad served in WWII and he was trained on all the US issue weapons. He said the best were the M1 Garand and the Springfield 30.06. He hated the M1 Carbine for being weak and inaccurate and he said that "having sights on a Thompson (sub machine gun) was a total waste of metal". He really appreciated the solidity and power of the .50 caliber machine gun (it was a 1919 design and still actively used on the battlefield by the Ukrainians now). Dad had hunted with the 30.06 before he enlisted and had nothing but respect for it. It was Jacksons the sniper's rifle here. (His father. my grandfather, had carried one in WWI)

This is my favorite movie, but for a much more light and happy movie you should watch The Princess Bride.

A point of historical accuracy. There were no machine guns slaughtering GIs as soon as the ramps went down. Due to landing at the lowest tide, the landing craft (which were actually borrowed from the British and much larger than the one's shown) stopped a considerable distance from the shoreline; they couldn't get any closer. So, the initial casualties were from artillery and mortar fire. The machine guns didn't become a substantial threat until the troops had advanced almost a 1/4 mile through the surf and across sand flats. But showing MGs shooting from way off in the distance, or showing the MGs up close shooting at tiny figures barely visible, doesn't make for very good filming. Claims of over 4,000 killed at Omaha are mistaken. There were 4,400 KIA on the first day from all 5 beaches and the paratroops. There were about 2,400 casualties at Omaha, but that includes wounded and missing which would have been twice the number killed, so KIA on that beach was under a thousand. Compared to 34,000 that landed on that one beach on the first day. The American losses are always exaggerated by people who haven't actually researched the topic. And don't even get started on the "beast of Omaha" who claimed after the war that he killed thousands by himself. Pure nonsense that was impossible for many reasons.

Yes, Chris and Brain did a great job as Optimus and Megatron. But let's also acknowledge the hilariously awesome job Key did as Bumblebee. He played the perfect comic relief character.

Billy's tribal honors the ancestors by facing death and fear head on...a warrior's honorable death.

Billy being a descendant of tribal warriors learned and trained on heightening his senses when combat or tracking...so his senses starting kicking in.

If you didn't know the JV was using is a Russian made model machine gun.

The song is from the late great Little Richard " Ball head Sally"

First of all great reaction from you 2. Really enjoyed it. You said numerous times that you couldn’t imagine, unless you’ve had to survive an encounter like that none of us can’t imagine ! Men like your dad and grandfathers. Between active duty and a contractor I served 21 years in the navy and I thank my Father in heaven for not having to go through anything close to that ! But as men shedding tears like we do I think it shows 2 things. Takes a real man to cry but not only that my friend to our vets that has went through those horrible events I think it’s saying a thanks to them and an appreciation for what they sacrificed for us and our great country! God Bless and again, enjoyed

Stupid woman

You guys should watch Band of Brothers mini series. It's a masterpiece.

AvP is the best movie of both. Considering 2004, everything looks great. CGI and all. Costumes of the alien and predator. Amazing.

The fact that this movie didn't win best picture, and lost to "Shakespeare in Love", is truly one of the greatest injustices in the history of the Academy Awards!

You guys gotta watch avengers infinity war and endgame next

Desmond Doss's heroics exceeded the potrayal in the movie. The director said he felt like he needed to water it down in the movie or people would not believe it.

Watch the band brothers

Did you notice on the Ryan family home, that there was a banner with 4 blue stars on it? That indicated that Mom had four boys in the war. She will now get a new banner with 3 gold stars and 1 blue. She will now be a "Gold Star Mother".

The key thing with this movie was that it ushered in the era of realistic combat portrayal in movies and TV. Before this film, was action and war movies had very fake "combat" like you see in the 80s. Fury and Hacksaw ridge were only following in Ryans footsteps.

Trivia: This film was given a singular honor by the US FCC when it was shown on broadcast TV. Out of respect for the film and veterans, the FCC allowed it to be shown without alterations; with all the violence and f-bombs intact.

I was working at a theater (my wife was the projectionist) when this was out. The old vets seeing it with families was something. I'll never forget one man, sitting gathering himself afterwards. His adult son & daughter(in law?) and wife all looked very somber. I asked him if he was ok, needed anything. He said, I'm fine, thank you. I speak German and recognized a slight accent. He told me, that he'd been on the other side on the day of the landings. When he told his wife once about what he'd seen, she of course didn't believe- the German prop master, Goebbels would not have been forthcoming, right? It was different to hear how accurate the landing scene was from the German point of view.

decimated is when 1 out of 10 are killed.

It's Amazing to the point of Proving ❤ JESUS CHRIST 💜 is Real and is Alive to this day 😘🥰🙏💜🇺🇸✝️✝️✝️😇👍

You need to watch Schindler’s List.

Check out the film The Thin Red Line. It came out the same year, 1998, and is better in many ways. It is set during WW2 on the Pacific island of Guadalcanal, which was a pivotal battle for the U.S. against the Japanese. It is a beautiful film that shows the horrors and the beauty of man and nature during war.

I'm a little bit addicted to reaction videos, especially to Saving Private Ryan.

Next up: Full Metal Jacket.

propaganda movie. with with one of many agendas being to exaggerate importance, scale, and intensity, of so called d-day, in reality a relatively minor operation during ww2, in order to inflate contribution of western allies, when their overall real contribution was relatively minor. anyway among other things, ridiculous casualty rate in movie don't tally with reality.

You should check out a movie called iron will. I like to mention more hidden gem films that others don't watch on channel but that are still good movies. Not saying it is some award winning movie. But it is very enjoyable. P.s. when i was in gradeschool this movie was partially being filmed in my hometown/current town. I promise the mention is not due to this bias.

Well i will promise you that the sequel to this movie IS indeed extemely terrible. I love this movie but the sequel should not have been made. On top of that it was filmed so dark you cannot see alot of what is even happening. My advice is to not watch it. You will regret it. One movie to watch you will love is called Prey. And that one does not need to be watched in release order. I think the gal will especially love that movie.

My uncle was one of the first to hit the beach that day. He sobbed uncontrollably when he watched this. It was the most realistic depiction of what actually happened. He came home without a scratch, but emotionally scared.

Spunkmeyer is not a real name, but it is the name of a baked goods company, so not sure what it's doing in this movie, maybe the writers liked their cookies.

it's been so many years and people still love ripley and hate burk! impressive!

As an antidote, might I recommend "A Hard Day's Night"?

Great reaction - thanks! For happy & fun movies - I strongly suggest that you watch the complete Back To The Future trilogy. You will surey like it!

These films are not much good as history lessons!

You should watch "The Fallen of World War II" by Neil Halloran /watch?v=DwKPFT-RioU

both of my grandfathers fought in WW II. i have done my service, my brother has done his and my father too. we have mandatory conscription.

Snatch, Tais toi (French film). Your eyes will water with laughter. These are fun movies. Or Taxi 1-2. French also.

How are these two do soft? How do you not know this stuff, but way to show the cleavage! Classy!

To truly appreciate the courage needed and the challenge faced in taking the Normandy Coast, take the opening scene and multiply by 5. There were 5 beaches attacked by the allied forces. The Americans at Omaha and Utah, the British at Gold and Sword, and the Canadians at Juno. Colectively, the allied forces fought inland to eventually free France.

Ryan never said a word about the war to his family, not anything about Miller at all., Like most veterans, not a thing to re-live or bring back up.

I'm 69. My father did the amphibious landing in WWII of Okinawa and was the landing craft operator. He told me once, and only once about that landing and seeing his crew that he dropped the ramp for laying dead on the beach after the third wave. Those men were truly the greatest generation.
