- Hey All! Anna has not seen this film before this reaction, however this is my favorite film of all time, and I've seen it countless times. This was her first reaction video ever, and she took it pretty hard. She deserves kudos for sitting through this one!
This video is purely for commentary purposes, and is NOT a replacement for the original film. In fact, this is a poor replacement for the film, as there is plenty of voice over and plenty of screen blackouts. Please go watch the film if you have not seen it.

Upham job is called Ammo Bearer or as well call it in the infantry “ammo b**ch” he just has to bring people extra ammo when they run out. Usually that is your role as a new comer into the platoon. Soon after you become a rifleman or whatever else.
Sir, I, like you, am a veteran who is proud to have served, although with the British Special Forces. A few years ago I, along with a group of fellow veterans, visited the Normandy battlefields and we made a point of going to the American cemetery near Omaha Beach (where the opening and closing scenes of this movie were shot and where over 2000 of your brave young countrymen lie in peace). We each placed a flower upon the grave of a soldier who we will never know, but who's bravery and sacrifice we will never forget. Thank you for your service, my friend.
I served in the US Army in the 82nd Airborne Division and in Special Forces. Trained with the UK Parachute Regiment, of which I am honored wearing Brit parachute wings. Thank YOU for YOUR service, my brother-in-arms.
Class act sir class act....from a fellow veteran
Captain Miller’s shaking hand is due to PTSD. His nerves are completely shot so he gets those tremors whenever he’s not in action. They only seem to disappear when he’s in combat. Also Miller gets these moments of shell shock whenever he gets knocked to the ground by an explosion. The sound gets muffled like he’s hearing everything through a sea shell and he also gets discombobulated for a bit before reality comes rushing in to bring him back into the moment.
Yea I feel like anyone’s hearing would be muffled after being around those explosions without ear pro at least that’s my opinion as an avid gun guy that likes blowing shit up lmao.
It isnt ptsd while you are still in the current moment of where the ptsd comes from. Lol.
Do you get ptsd from a car crash and your hand shakes while your car is mid flip flying off a bridge? Or does it come later that day, the nextt day and ensuing years after said incident. I digress.
@Elden Wolf Lord Yeah at that point it's just stress lol
Just my two cents but I thought he might be in early stages of Parkinson’s disease
@@stevensantiago8978 I've always thought it was more likely something like that rather than shell shock.
Let's give it to *Anna* because it's (brave) to pour your emotions out for everyone to see & judge you
Good for Anna for hanging in there!

Thanks guys, this was a great reaction. Special thanks to Anna for hanging in there. This movie is very tough.
Talli Air Base 2003.. then Mosul, 2004-2005. Critical care and trauma. Nice to meet a brother. God Bless
10:59 When I was a junior officer in Ft. Polk, LA. doing some training, fresh out of BOLC (Basic Officer Leader Course), my company was arti-sim'd and attacked (simulated) in the middle of the night. Even though we won the fight, myself and my fellow Lieutenants (from the rest of the battalion), lost a good portion of our troops in each of our platoons. After our "after actions brief", my company commander quietly ordered the PLs, senior NCOs and command staff to write letters for the families of our "simulated" dead... before the rest of the battalion got involved and made a big show of it... writing those letters was quite the surreal experience, even though it wasn't real, it stuck with me throughout my career.
Note: we just wrote letters and simulated mailing them. We didn't want to freak out the families during our FTX.
Thats a great practice. Really indepth way for them to show you the scope of the effects of war and the toll it takes on the loved ones of service members. Thanks for sharing
Me and my husband just watched this again the other night. We’ve seen it many times, but it’s such a great movie, we’ll no doubt watch it again. Hi Anna, you’re a sweetheart☺️Nice to meet you! Great to see you back Mike!
2:52 yes very young bby 😢😢
I've seen this movie a number of times and I still can't help but cry every time Wade is overdosed to end his suffering while begging for his mama...
He did not OD. His suffering was eased due to being shot 4 ×'s. He passed due to the shot he recieved from gun fire. It's a very rough scene. The last battle got to me. Especially when Jackson got shelled in the church tower. Also when the man portraying Ryan. Kneeling at Capt, Miller's cross. Thanking him & all for what they did for him.
What better pair than a veteran and an English teacher to react to SPR. It was like watching the two inner halves of Capt. Miller experience the same events. Great reaction, guys.
To Anna: Good job for hanging in there. SPR is a very tough watch, but hopefully it gives you an appreciation of what veterans like Mike, your grandfather, and others have gone through. On that note, I would gently encourage you to watch Schindler's List too. Evil exists in the world, and while I understand not wanting to voluntarily subject yourself to a harrowing experience, if you don't know what it looked like, not knowing is the fastest way to let that evil reoccur in the present-day. Like you said, SPR makes you think twice about sending your kids off to war. SPR, Schindler's List, and other historical dramas are important because it informs our future decisions. Again, thank you for hanging in there and sharing your experience with the rest of us.
To Mike: Hello from a South Korean (conscript) veteran. Always happy to see someone share my somber love for the movie (SPR is my favorite too). I know it must have been tough for you to patiently and quietly watch with Anna and let her experience the movie without talking too much. Just a few suggestions for improving future reactions: 1) Sharing what you, Anna, or both know about a movie that you HAVEN'T seen yet before hitting play would be a great way to begin a reaction for us and both of you (if you've seen it, obviously, don't spoil things); 2) Keep up not spoiling anything and, if you can, be even quieter during reactions to movies you've already seen (I know, it's hard). You might wanna take a look at how Daniel and Samantha over at TBR Schmitt do things these days, just as an example. Great how you included so much of your reaction, though. Really appreciate it.
About Upham, I understand your frustration with him, but as veterans who haven't experienced frontline combat, I doubt we can pass judgment on him with any degree of moral superiority. But maybe I'm soft on him because I was a desk-jockey translator like him. Who knows what we'll do in actual combat: freeze or help?
Thanks again for the great reaction and I hope you can gently coax Anna into watching Schindler's List and other dramas with you in the future!
In the last scene, most people miss the life where Ryan’s wife reads CPT Miller’s name with a tone indicating that she had never heard that name before. In three words, she is telling us that in all of their years together, her husband never told her the story or mentioned Miller. Instead, her husband suffered alone quietly with that memory, one so painful that he never shared it with her.
BTW, bring Anna back for “Schindler’s List” (despite what she said about watching it) and “Band of Brothers”. She will love them if she hasn’t seen them before.
"never heard that name before", noticed this in first run . . . It is the most overlooked line in the movie, portending Ryan's torturous guilt.
She needs to see Schindler's List, everybody needs to see that at least once! Green Mile is another tear jerker!
I'm trying to get her on board with it! No way I'll get it on the channel unless she wants to, since I've seen it. But I think she's coming around. Also, she has seen Green Mile already, unfortunately
Thank you for your service
And thank YOU for dropping in!
7:30 US Soldiers were issued a shave kit by Gillette which had a mirror in it. That explains why they have one ready.
Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks said that these men(boys) were 18,19 and 20 year olds saved the whole world. We have very few WW II veterans who are still with us.
The average age of the Americans who saw combat in WW II was 26 years old.
Hey I love this movie. It’s my favorite movie of all time too. Got to give it up to the vets. Thank you.
Great reaction!!! We should all remember & earn this.
Every person should see this movie....
Earn this, earn it.
Great reaction. Now show her Schindler's List, I bet she'll cry watching that.
Although I would love her to experience the greatness of that film, she did explicitly say on this video she didn't want to. But I'll see what I can do!
You're right, the two surrendered, were not German
this movie is so realistic that veterans who watched it in the theatre start to cried
They actually left the theater.
The German Upam shot at the end was the German they let go after wade died.
At a quick glance your wife or girlfriend looks like shailene Woolley 😂
Finally, a review from someone who knows what's going on. Civilians still think there are rules in battle. NOPE. When the car pulls up to the mother's house and she collapses, in my opinion is the best scene in the movie.
I am always impartial to the Bixby letter. That scene shows so much!
That scene and the scene in Band of Brothers where Capt. Nixon sees the wife of the general working to bury camp victims - the two best scenes in film without dialogue.
a very natural reaction, I would like them to react to the interstellar 2014 movie
Nice reaction, thank you for your service. You should review Band of Brothers, The Pacific, Hacksaw Ridge.
Great reaction.
Watch the Thin Red Line next.
If you love this I hope you also watched Band of Brothers and the Pacific.
Imagine being one of those women, typing those letters every day. Imagine or Upham trying not to kill anyone, get caught up in the war, but having to kill the Nazi, because he knew Upham's name. Or living as Ryan, every day of ur life, knowing everyone on that bridge died for you.
Enfilade is when you can fire down the length of a unit, like what Fury did against that column of infantry at the beginning of the battle of the cross roads.
Btw, you're the first reactor I've watched that knew what a Bangalore Torpedo was and it's use.
Heh. reminded me "first rule of survival for an 0351, don't let anyone else hold your clacker".
the sad part about that momma scene is i heard a story about a dday vet that heard a dieing soldier yell out "i want my mommy"
To all those who say thing's like " this is why you shouldn't kneel at our national anthem " we served so those who chose to kneel are free to do so! Great vid FAM.
Peace to you and yours.
Great reaction! As a long time history buff, this has always been one of my favorite war movies. I'm not sure if she'd be willing, but it would interesting to see you guys react to Band of Brothers!
Love how this movie shows the sheer heroism and hell all of these men endured, but yet right after the war they just go back to their everyday lives and had great careers and families. Incredible that any soldier from any side of this war was able to somehow perform regular jobs and duties after
Yep! And sadly carry these traumas for the rest of their lives
So fun fact the army has the longest deployments at about a year, these guys went to war until it was over even WW1 they were there for years or until death.
Yes, war is beautiful. Fun fact: the garrisons at the french beaches caputulated because they ran out of ammo.
Really great reaction...and I really like the notes flashed on screen that you add in the edit, it saved me a lot of typing answering stuff you already knew. LOL
Saving Private Ryan is incredibly realistic in most every way, with a very few exceptions...for instance, bullets cannot kill you underwater that way 3:38 they lose all of their killing power within about 3 inches of hitting water. Also, pay no mind at all to that man who took off his helmet at 6:40 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 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.
12:50 Mrs. Ryan knew something very very bad had happened when she saw that the Army had sent a car and that they had brought her local Pastor or Priest with them. Standard process for notification of death was a telegram, so a car with her Pastor was very bad news and she knew it as soon as she saw the official car coming up the drive. 💯✌
Thank you for your service sir! Just found your channel, enjoyed this reaction
Steven Spielbergs message is simple. This is the sacrifice that was made. Have you earned it?
The whole movie was shot in twelve weeks.. of that 12 week time frame 4 of those weeks were just shooting the opening beach scene...
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 killed him.
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 really was a USS Sullivans(DD 68) dedicated to the brothers lost on one ship. That's why all brother soldiers/sailors from one family can't be assigned to the same command.
5. I did 24 years in the US Navy. My favorite character is Private Jackson/sniper, and my second favorite is Sargent Horvath.
6. You BOTH need to do the GOAT that also stars Tom Hanks and Private Jackson/Barry Pepper. You WILL CRY😭😭
The story of Private Ryan is inspired by the Sullivan brothers (who are mentioned in the movie, in the telegram scene). There were five of them: George, Frank, Joe, Matt, and Al, from Waterloo, Iowa. George and Frank, the oldest brothers, had served in the Navy in the 1930s, and after Pearl Harbor, they re-enlisted along with the younger three, on the condition that they serve together. They were assigned to the light cruiser USS _Juneau,_ and all five were killed when the ship was sunk in the Naval Battle of Guadalcanal, in November 1942. The US Navy named two ships USS _The Sullivans_ in their honor: a _Fletcher_-class destroyer (DD-537) in 1943 (decommissioned 1965), and an _Arleigh Burke_-class guided missile destroyer (DDG-68) in 1995 (which is still in service). The ships' official motto is "We stick together."
Just curious if you’ve seen the movie The Fighting Sullivan(1944)? Pretty good movie but of course since it was produced during the war, the circumstances about the sinking of the USS Juneau was changed.
This movie is not based on The Sullivan Brothers.
The story is actually about the Niland brothers. The one they said died in the Pacific actually survived and returned home as well. In the opening scenes at the cemetery, there was a man dressed in American Legion uniform acting as a guide for the cemetery, even though he had no lines - He is the real Private Ryan.
Great job, guys.........and especially, thank you for your service.
Sir, Thank you for your service!! Great reaction.
Everyone needs to see this movie along with Band of Brothers, The Pacific, and Greyhound
Hacksaw Ridge has to watched too!
Ya'll should do a reaction to Band of Brothers, the 10-part miniseries that Tom Hanks and Spielberg did right after this movie. It tells the real story of Easy company of the 506, 101st airborne division (which is the fictional private Ryan's company). Everything in the series (with 1 or 2 exceptions) is based on real events and real people, down to the dialogue at some points). And it has the real veterans talking at the start of each episode (without revealing their names, which you only learn in the last episode so you don't know which of the characters makes it to the end). It's quite simply a MASTERPIECE
It is indeed a masterpiece, but sadly I've seen it. I'll have to try to get her to watch them with me
1st time watching u two. Awesome , will def tune in again.
One of the most important movies ever, least we ever forget
Not sure Anna could take much more, but the movie "Fury" (Brad Pitt) shows how the men changed as the liberation of Europe progressed.
You should watch Taking Chance. I think it's a good movie about what happens when a soldier killed in action is taken home to be laid to rest. Very Powerful.
Gotta hand it to the character development too. The sneaky pete guy mentioned Ryan's poor mother near the beginning, then in that church he told the story about how he pretended to sleep when his mom came home and wanted to talk to him. Then his last words were him calling for his momma :(
Masterful character development!
@@Yeedeed I get that it was hard for your girl to watch this, but I'm glad she did. Like history books, historical movies with this level of realism can be very important as reminders for average citizens. People say "never again" but easily forget WHY. And people forget all the time all around us. Just look at Putin invading the Ukraine right now and Bush invading Iraq not long ago. If we don't constantly truly remind ourselves what war looks like up close, your girl might not support aggression and invasion, but your kids, grandkids, great grandkids, etc. can all find themselves easily facing this reality. It's ugly, but don't let emotion make you look away. War is happening all over right now. Face it at least sometimes.
I remember my first reaction to watching this for the first time, at about 20 minutes in, I was thinking thank you for using the magic of Hollywood to depict what World War II combat really looks like.
Hey Mike, I love your reaction and Anna's reaction. I've seen this about a million times and she helped bring tears to my eyes. I've seen you do Fury and Jojo Rabbit. You ought to get Anna to watch Jojo Rabbit if she hasn't seen it. It's a great movie as far as I'm concerned. Only The Brave with Josh Brolin is fantastic. I don't know if you've seen 12 Strong, another great movie that people always overlook. I don't know if you've checked out the 2 Deadpool movies, but they're great. I'm not into Marvel movies, but I love Deadpool. Tucker and Dale Vs Evil is really funny. Keep it up Mike and I hope you bring Anna along more often. Has she seen The Green Mile or Forrest Gump? More great Tom Hanks movies.
My man Dave! Thanks for the request on this, I'm glad I found someone to help me get it on the channel, but not glad it made my girlfriend so sad. She's usually tougher than this, but this movie is pretty powerful. I also got more of your requests I need to get to. I'm glad you're a patient man. I hope your holidays are going well!
@@Yeedeed You too with the holidays. I love that you were in the military. I was in the USAF from 1978-1992. (USMC for 6 weeks in 1977 but got kicked out during basic for being a young idiot).
Im a vet like yourself but im 62 now and never had to endure what these heros did like my grandpa in WW2 and my father in Korea. I was a Cold Warrior so i never saw action, and i salute you for your service and your girlfriend for having the courage to watch. I was able to better understand what my grandfather went thtough after seeing this and i came away with even more inctedible respect. My favorite movie as well.
Hats off & Welcome home Thank you for your Service , I was in C Co 75 Ranger Rgt. First Field Force Vietnam , Break her in slow on the War movies & Remember all of us gave some BUT Some of us gave it all Hand Salute
This and band of brothers mini series should be MANDATORY viewing for Every American and future American so they can understand and show respect for the men and women who take that ultimate sacrifice for our freedoms
Just rewatched this one this fall. Such a great movie!
She seems really nice so i wanna wish you great times these holidays. ☺️
Well thank you my friend. I hope you have a good holiday season as well, and yes, she treats me pretty well!
Good! And i will. 🎄
Please react to The Fallen of World War II and the movie Pearl Harbor with Anna. Pearl Harbor is a bit more soft and entertainment driven then other more serious war movies. There's also Valkyrie with Tom Cruise, less gore than Saving Private Ryan and has a thrilling plot.
Im a 90's kid i was terrified but was amazed when i saw this when i was in like elementary lol on vhs. Along with ms. Popcorn In Bed you guys did such a great review! I always come back to watch this, blackhawkdown, windtalkers and we were soldiers... great war movies. No pun intended but i doubt they can ever make movies like these ever again, perfect balance n proves practical effects beat cgi overload anytime.
Maybe I misunderstood what you said, but just in case: the German soldier Upham killed was not the soldier who killed Melish. Rather, he was the soldier that they released [blinded folded] earlier, after taking the machine gun nest - - and Upham saw he shot the "kill shot" at the Captain, who ironically, spared his life.
It has already been suggested, but try "Hacksaw Ridge" - also well done . . . and a based on a true story.
Thanks for the comment, man! Sorry if it wasn't clear in the video, but I did know that, and I think I even tried pointing that out to Anna when they revealed his return. Also, Hacksaw Ridge is a great idea for a video, thank you for the suggestion!
The guy who knew where Ryan was, the deaf guy, was Opie from Sons Of Anarchy- Ryan Hurst
probably not a big deal to most ppl but a pet peeve of mine is when ppl watch movies with one earbud in. you're not getting the full cinematic experience. it's like watching a great movie on an ipod. or if you're a music fan, listening to a great band through your phone speakers. it's just not the way the creators would want you to experience the stuff they've made
Hi! So, I totally agree with you. I cut the part out where my girlfriend and I discussed that I can't hear her when I have both headphones in. As I have seen this movie too many times to count, I decided to go with one ear bud in so I could hear when she talks to me
One of my faves as well. Watch this once every few years. You should watch “The Count of Monte Cristo” starring Jim Caviezel from 2002. Highly underrated film. One of my top fave movie of all-time. Jealousy, betrayal, redemption, romance etc. all in one 🍿🎥😊
This sounds like a great idea Steel. Thank you for the request and also thank you for dropping in
That was chew haha she got it right
I standby that was the right call hitting that machine gun nest under that radar site. Would say that was a radar site or radio site both of which would be high value targets to be destroyed. Any idea how many bomber lives probably saved by taking that out? Yeah they lost a guy but remember every bomber their were several lives gone with just one plane. Think that part that hits me the most is the grave yard scene. Knowing every single one of those crosses is why we are able to live in a free country!!!! Always keep rewatching it keeping in mind freedom does not come for free!!!!!
Many people lied about their age to assist the war effort, it's alluded to with Wade the medic throughout his actions, story and death. Truly a tragic, powerful movie.
11:22 I was deployed there approx 2 years before you (late 2001, just after WTC). Big hug bro and three massive punches on your back with my fist! There were no coffins then... yet. Thank you for your service!
I completely agree with you about Uppham...to this day I can't watch the part where mellish is killed knowing Uppham couldn't bring himself to help his comrade. I was not in the military but I am an Army Brat. Dad is a retired Colonel..retired in 1998. With the experiences I had moving with him to every assignment, being in Germany, when the wall came down, to actually helping my dad get his gear together as he was preparing to go to the gulf when he was a Battalion Commander at Fort Campbell, only to have him be called off the plane because of an unforseen heart condition and having to console him when the ground war started and he couldn't be with his men....you just get a pretty good idea of the self sacrifice, the comradeship, and the pride he always carried himself with even though he was very humble about his positions. Absorbing those experiences and witnessing the indecisiveness and fear that Uppham froze with was to this day something that always just sits so wrong with me. None of us who never experienced combat could never know how we might react to combat but I would definitely like to think that I would risk my life to save or help someone in dire need. I just don't think I could live with myself if I didn't act. I'm 45 now and that scene just still makes me turn my head and the frustration is still pretty huge. It's just a well done but tough scene to watch.
Poor Upham. A coward dies a thousand deaths. Every time he is in a place where courage is required, he fails and dies another death.
Awesome movie 😢 Awesome reaction 👍
Ryan Hurst was in Remember the Titans. He also had a little role in the extremly well made crime/cop drama Bosch.
I'm amazed how many actors you guys spot.
For most Nathan Filion is the guy from Frie Fly, for me he is Castle.
Schindler's List
You need to watch Schindler’s List.
The rules on fronts and landing's require no prisoners. When they have established a FOB then they can take prisoners. You, if you haven't seen "Band of Brothers," you are missing out. It is also a Spielberg and Hanks production
History movie wrapped around a great movie...A+
This movie is a tough one. It shook me to the core when I watched it.
Like Anna said at the end. "I never wanna watch it again. A great movie."
As you said Mike. A fantastic movie.
and by the way... your girlfriend has the same name as my wife!!! (fun fact)
Be safe
Hey my friend, I hope all is well with you. Sorry for not being around more often lately! As always, I appreciate you dropping in, especially for a long reaction, which I know is not usually your thing. As far as your wife's name, that's a funny coincidence! This now scientifically confirms the name Anna is associated with awesome women
@@Yeedeed I'm just glad you're ok and back reacting! One of the things I do everyday is watching reactions on UA-cam and I always look for new reactions from you. So when you are not there, it kinda leaves a hole in my routine 😉😄. Be safe and have a fantastic Xmas!
@@Yeedeed Yep! Including my gramma!😁
I remember first time seeing Giovanni Ribisi (medic) when he was like 13 or 14 in an episode of Married With Children. I thought this kid won't have much of a career. His death scene here he played amazingly!
I agree wit her... It's such a good movie that I can MAYBE only watch it 1 more time in my entire life 💔
Well Anna is woman so I understand how she would not want to watch it again, women emotions are so much stronger then men . Men have a toughness testosterone basically. It's a hard movie to watch but a good one I think everyone needs to see. It may give many a reality check to come close to God.
I've seen this movie over 50 times and it still gets to me. I participated in War Games (Reforger '79) in the country of West Germany and stopped in Belgium at a American WW 1 military cemetery. The headstones were aligned in perfect symmetry, the grounds immaculate and no one was there but us two. Though I had no knowledge of anyone I knew about or was related to that served in that War, I stood there and cried like a 10 year old girl. This movie makes me feel like that. Former Spec/4 46th Combat Support Hospital
On the note of Jackson being a badass: Even more impressive is the actor (Barry Pepper) is left handed, but his gun is right handed. So he's shooting "wrong handed" while sniping through this entire film.
The most ironic part of movie.... German and Jew, face to face, hand to hand combat. And the German telling Mellish as he's knifing him, it's over for u, the war is over, u can rest now and go home.
Have either of you seen "Hacksaw Ridge"? It is now tied with this for my favorite war movie! You need to check it out! Also :1917" is right up there!👍
thanks.good reaction
Thank you. There are a few reaction youtubes I am definitely skeptical of, I have no issue you having seen the movie and someone else who hasn't.
Suppringly, I only saw this movie in the last year.
You guys need to watch band of brothers. nice reaction by the way
Thanks for dropping in! I'd love to have her watch Band of Brothers, but I'm going to let her make that decision, since this one was so hard for her
For some other true like or true story movies check out, 13 hours, Lone Survivor, hacksaw Ridge, Once we were Soldiers, Blackhawk Down, Lone Survivor, Fury. And look on here for the story of Roy Benevides, maybe the greatest soldier in American history!
James vs Movies is someone who has seen the movies he reacts too. As a “supposed” film maker, no way in hell he’s gotten by in life without seeing 90% of the movies he’s reacted too.
Yeah, it's a bit ridiculous seeing all the "first time watching" reactions that you know just doesn't seem truthful. There's a million movies out there, why lie
There is another movie about ww2 with the Japanese, and is based on a true story. It is called UNBROKEN its about a soldier captured by the Japanese and placed in a pow camp.
An the best 30 minutes of cinema history.
the thing about historic war movies is that, real people actually fought, live and die trought this fucking hell, most of us hadnt even been born and this people were already figthing for all of us, so we could live in a free world.
When i saw this movie, previous war movies were all about glorifying war, and yeah there is glory in figthing tirany, figthing for freedom, and honor and the acts of heroism but, they romanticised war, alone came this movie..... and totally broke the shit out of everyone, this didnt seem heroic, this didnt seem uplifting, or men singing while marching, it was gritty, brutal, caothinc, violent and unforgiving, the word was not ready for this movie, and thou it is patriotic, and was acused of being a "pro war" movie, this was the most anti war movie i have ever seen, they show you what real war was, what real men and wome suffered trought it, people at the cinema left in distress, most of us were shocked, unable to make a moevement or put our sight elsewere, my mother had a tachicardia and had a sentiment i know now was anxiety and stress, reports of veterans leaving the theather in episodes of ptsd, some guy said he could even feel as he was smealing the diesel of the landing crafts, could you imagine that??? this movie told us, yes, sometime wars have the be fought for the right reason, that doesnt make it good, this are the consequences of starting a war and our youngest pay for them in blood.....
Never be ashamed to show your emotions for our boys that sacrificed their lives for our freedom, it only shows empathy and there's nothing wrong with being humane. Thank you sir also, for your service.🇺🇲

God bless all of the veterans who sacrificed so much and risked it all to protect our country and preserve the freedoms we enjoy today! God bless all of the souls - military and civilian - we have lost in times of war! God bless America! God bless us, everyone!
Tom Sizemore just died. So sad. Loved his acting.
Wade knows he's hit in the liver, he's going to bleed out in about 7 minutes. I could use some more morphine!
