Something that always got me: At the very end when it goes back to present day. Ryan's wife comes over and reads Miller's name on the tombstone in a way that suggests she had not heard the name before.
This implies that Ryan never told anyone about the events of that day since not even his wife was aware of him. It must have been very haunting for him to keep it all to himself but still get it together and lead the life that Miller and others paid the ultimate price for.
Great vid! All the best to you guys.
Yes, super powerful! And thank you!
The "X-shaped barriers" were for ripping apart the bows of boats & amphibious landing craft & for providing barriers for the tanks said vehicles deployed...
1. Many WWII vets left the theaters because the D-Day battle scenes were so realistic.
2. The German Captain Miller was talked into letting go is the same one that killed him. Upham finally put him down.
3. The story Ryan tells Miller about the last time he saw his brothers was made up by Matt Damon. He was told to say something interesting, so he did, and it was kept in the movie.
4. There was a USS Sullivans(DD- 68) dedicated to the brothers lost on one ship.
5. I did 24 years in the US Navy. Miller using his leadership skills to deflate the tension between Horvath and Reiban.
6. RIP Tom Sizemore😇Sizemore also played Boxman in "Flight of the Intruder", a movie I'm in briefly.
Thanks for the background!
I try to post some basic information on first time reactions to this movie...hope you don't mind if I copy/paste it here.
Saving Private Ryan is incredibly realistic in most every way, with a very few exceptions...such as bullets not being able to kill you more than a few inches underwater, and flamethrowers not really exploding that way in 1944. One thing to know, pay no mind at all to that man who took off his helmet on the beach and then got shot in the head...that next shot would have killed him even if he had kept his helmet on. The helmets of WW2 would almost never stop a bullet, except under very very rare circumstances.
The movie is not a true story, and it differs from the actual history of D-Day in many ways...but the basic plot is loosely based on the 4 Niland Brothers, one of whom served with the 101st Airborne Division. However, when 3 Nilands were reported dead, no mission was sent behind enemy lines to get the last brother, and it turned out that one brother that had been thought dead had actually only been captured.
There really was a Company C of the 2nd Rangers that landed on Omaha Beach, but they were commanded by Captain Ralph Goranson, and they did not land quite where it was shown in the film. Probably the most important historical thing that Spielberg got wrong is that he had the boats that carried the Rangers to the beach being driven by Americans...they were not. On D-Day, the boats that carried the US Rangers to the beach were driven by UK sailors of the Royal Navy. There are many other things in the film that are not accurate to the real history of D-Day, but that one really fails to honor some of the men that fought and died at Omaha Beach, so it is definitely the one most worth noting.
Appreciate the deep dive explaining 🙌
In answer to some of your questions and/or comments...the older Ryan in the Normandy American Cemetery and Memorial at the beginning and end of the film was played by Harrison Young...who did serve in the US Army during the Korean War period.
Allied casualties...killed and wounded and injured and sick or captured...on the first day of the invasion were a bit over 10k total for all 5 beaches...out of a total of about 156k troops that were landed on those 5 beaches the first day. Out of that casualty number of a bit over 10k, about 4400 were killed, and of that 4400 about 2500 were Americans...at Omaha Beach on D-Day, about 34k troops were landed, and there were 2400 casualties...including those killed, wounded, injured, sick or captured. So the overwhelming number of Allied troops landed on D-Day survived and moved inland and continued to fight.
The notification of next of kin for Americans that were killed was done by ordinary telegram, and no...there was little compassion in those notifications, they were completely matter of fact. The Army only sent officers and/or religious figures out if more than one person in a family had been killed...otherwise the telegrams came by Western Union or the regular post. The letters that we see being typed were personal letters from the commanding officers of the men killed, and those letters did not always get written, they were optional. No so fun fact...one of the things those typists were doing to those letters was to censor them of any information the War Department did not want to get out. Just about every piece of mail sent to or from the US military serving around the world in WW2 was read by somebody whose job it was to censor out anything that was not allowed to be spoken of.
LOL...14:00 not "Zeppelins"...those had metal frames inside with bags of gaseous hydrogen and blew up spectacularly. These were "barrage balloons"...which are just flexible bags filled with helium that cannot explode, and they are meant to make it much harder for any German planes to sneak in and attack the beachhead at low level.
If you want to learn more about how Miller became a captain, you could get some of that knowledge from watching the series Band of Brothers. But it is too complicated to briefly explain...gotta be an officer first, and that starts at one of the Service Academies...like West Point or Annapolis...or you could go to Reserve Officer Training in a regular college, or you could be an enlisted man and get promoted to officer status...or a number of other paths that could get you to officer level. So yeah...not an easy process to describe briefly, not easy at all. LOL
Not at all important...but you would absolutely want to throw in multiple grenades in that moment 34:39...a single grenade is too easy to grab and throw back out or otherwise disable/disarm...and grenade fuses were not 100 percent, there could be duds.
The guy that killed Mellish is not the same man that they let go after Wade was killed and who killed Miller at the end. You can see this on IMDB, the one they let go is listed as Steamboat Willie...the one that killed Mellish is listed as Waffen SS soldier...the pictures confirm that it is 2 different characters with 2 different actors...Joerg Stadler vs Mac Steinmeier. However, it was Steamboat Willie who shot Miller in the chest, and that Upham shot for his only kill of the movie.
Another really great war movie, that is based on a true story is "Hacksaw Ridge". Andrew Garfield stars with Vince Vaughn.
Oh yes! That movie is amazing!
Average age in world war 2 was 23, Vietnam was 19
@@danielemlet7885 crazy! Just kids
I cry every time at the end of this movie
@@huckleberryfinn3472 yes, it’s a heartbreaking film
2500 Americans died on D-Day not 425,000. That 425,000 that you looked up might be how many Americans died in Europe during the whole of WW2. The total number for Europe and the Pacific is somewhere around 600,000. The metal cross like things on the beaches were to prevent large ships and things coming ashore.
makes sense. That number seemed way too high for one battle.
Not sure where you got the figures on how many soldiers died during Normandy but that’s not correct. 72-75,000 allied soldiers died. Wounded is estimated 200,000.
Just a quick google search. Didn't have time during the movie, to research more unfortunately. But that makes sense.
A perfect film, this one.
Incredible!
Men weren't allowed in same unit, in world war 2 5 brothers lost on one ship they were the Sullivan's. After world war 2 the won't take the last son.
@@danielemlet7885 makes sense. Can’t imagine what that mother must’ve gone through
that setup is not conducive to movie watching
it looks like you're on greg gutfeld or something
Thanks for the feedback, could you point us to another creator who has a more conducive movie watching environment?
