#SavingPrivateRyan #MovieReaction #FirstTimeWatching - Фільми й анімація
Your dad seems like a wiseman. What a great addition to have him react with you. A person who’s already seen this film allowing the contrast and to provide his great analysis and clarity to really emphasize the important messages of this film. Your dad really hit the nail on the head with his points. I feel like EVERYONE more now than ever needs to watch this movie. The messages and metaphors in this film are extremely relatable to not just past but current present day issues as well. Great reaction.
His Dad is fantastic!
You nailed it. I served for 14 years, did 2 tours. I wish we would all stop the nonsense and just enjoy what we have.
Hid Dad is awesome. I especially love the fact where he pointed out that everyone who played a part in this movie basically went on to play parts in 10 other movies because of it - it's so true. This movie was a huge vehicle for a lot of great actors. Very wise guy.
I wish I could get my 20 yr old son to sit and watch a movie like this with me
To your dad--thank you for your service, sir. You're a credit to the corp.
" Tell me I'm a good man "
Ugh, that tears me up. All that guilt on his shoulders. Begging his wife to tell him he was worth it.
Enjoyed it gentlemen. Thank you sir for your service.
The visuals of this scene clearly shows that the mission was not just about saving Private James Ryan.. it made it possible for future generations of Ryans to carry on the family name. I take it that none of his brothers had wives or offspring.
My brother was in the 101st, served in Korea at the DMZ and in Vietnam, 1965 - 1969. Came home in one piece, mostly. Passed away last Thanksgiving. To the father in this reaction video, honor.
My Great Uncle was in the 101st Airborne, and jumped into Normandy on June 5th, 1944. He was the sole survivor of his squad on two separate occasions during the Battle of the Bulge.
He survived and came home, but he was never the same. Rest in Peace, Howard.
Wow my great uncle also fought in the was but he died in the battle of the bulge he was a Sherman tank commander
Many people don't know that in reality it took nearly 12 hours for them to capture the beach, and a further 6 days until June 12 for all five beachheads to be connected to one another. In this one battle the Americans lost more men than they did in the whole 20 years of the recent Afgan conflict. We should never forget what these men did for our freedom. Best wishes from England.
First waves went in at 6:30, beach was finally secure at 9pm. It was 6 hours to just to gain one or two exits. And things only started to turn when the Navy started sending destroyers in to almost beaching to direct acurate shelling on German fortified positions.
We needed the British too. It's funny how once sworn enemies can make the best allies in the future.
@@dbsti3006 As an ex Royal Green Jacket I have huge respect for your service personnel and I believe that we are not just allies, I think of Americans as brothers and sisters.
@@Savman1417 We have you to thank in all honesty since the English created us. As an ex Navy sailor, we thank the British Royal Navy prestige for teaching us what we know today about seafaring vessel operation. Yes, you are correct that we are brothers and sisters. We should be.
12 hours? I thought it lasted around 5 to 6 hours.
Your Dad nailed it. When the Captain says "Earn it" he isn't just talking to Ryan but to all of us!
Your dad's summation at 32:55 is something everyone in the country needs to hear. You were clearly raised right. Semper Fi!
I think his most important message preceded that, at 32:14
My grandfather died in 1999 and I described the movie to him. He filled in details before I even told him. D Day to Berlin in the Tank Destroyer Battalion. It was exactly what he saw. 2 purple hearts and a silver star. His name was Cloyd Crosslin and he lied about his age to get out of poverty in Alabama. Pray for peace!
Your dad knows what’s up….you should definitely do more military movies with him…
Thank you for your service!
Your dad is so real. When the battle slows down you have time to reflect on the events of the day not while they are happening.
Your father and I are probably around the same age. He speaks with wisdom. Please convey my appreciation and gratitude to him for his service in protecting my freedom. “Are we all living our lives deserving of what those people have done for us?” Your father asked this question and I believe we all need to really consider this. Wise words indeed.
A thing that gets over looked about the cemetery scene is that James Ryan also had some of his brothers buried there. And the scene when Wade the medic dies and he saying "Moma Moma" it really hits hard when you remember the story in the church when talked about pretending to sleep so he wouldn't have to talk to her. You know in his dying breath he wanted nothing more then to talk to her.
Wade did not want to talk to his mother. A helpless infant instinctively looks to it's mother for protection. An adult brain in distress, close to death and no longer aware will commonly regress to this automated last line of defence during the final few moments of shutting down.
@Jonas Jelich dude I'm 100% with you on the character Wade in SPR. When I was like 12 give or take and watched the movie for the first time with my dad that scene where he dies had me choked up it was crazy. I just remember me and my dad were kind of talking a little bit back and forth throughout the movie but when he died like zero words were spoken for like a few minutes after. It's a tie between him and the sniper for my favorite characters lol one way you went up and gathered up all the dog tags and said they're not poker chips he immediately got my respect, cuz even the captain was getting in on it a little bit.
@@mimikurtz2162 I think the point of him telling the story about his mom then the very next scene he dies an he's calling for her makes me believe there was a connection there
The “don’t take the helmet off” is a common response. Those helmets were good against slow moving shrapnel and indirect hits, but a direct hit with a bullet would still hit your off switch.
that's why you see 2 holes in his helmet, it didn't stop the bullet, the bullet went through the front, grazed his head, and went right out the other side with no problem. That's also why he rubs that side of his head, he felt it go by.
if they did stop a bullet then it would snap your neck thats why some thought it better to go with out the strap, they try to engineer modern helmets with more curves to try to deflect but I wouldnt want to test it especially since they are made by the lowest bidder
The look your father gave us when he found out you didn’t see “Remember The Titans” I was like “I saw it Sir.”
Pops was right. That movie straight fire.
UPDATE! It’s on channel now ! 🙏🏼
Jackson the sniper was a country boy (from Tennessee) for a reason. Most of the greatest military snipers, U.S, Russian, Finnish, German, etc were country/farm boys and girls. They grew up with firearms since they were young and were already proficient with rifles before they were in the military. Look up famous U.S., Russian and Finnish snipers both male and female...pretty incredible.
The Germans, Fins, English and Americans did not use females soldiers (for obvious reasons) only the Russians didn't respect their women enough to not use them as combat troops.
As for the best American soldiers they were _always_ Southern.
@@erichamilton5932 I know we (Americans) didn't use female soldiers. I was referring to famous Russian and the famous Finnish farm girl who was a prolific sniper against the Russians. Didn't feel like writing every detail when people can figure things out on their own
In the British army in WW2 high proficiency with a rifle did not seem to be a major prerequisite for selection to be a sniper. That could be taught. The principal criteria were cunning and stalking skills like those ingrained in gamekeepers and especially poachers.
Your Dad !!
He’s the only reviewer that I’ve seen, who called the theme of the movie….
We are all, Private Ryan; and we have to EARN what our veterans have sacrificed for us and our nation (the only refuge of liberty, in a cruel world).
First off a thank you to your father for his service . My father was a member of that " Greatest Generation " , he served in both Europe and the Pacific . What those people did both in fighting the war and on the home front , is the reason that we do not live under the boot heel of a dictatorship today . We are losing more of these people every day and with them their stories . They are living history their experiences need to be saved for the future generations . All that said you need to watch " Hacksaw Ridge " . That is a true story . Nice job keep up the good work .
Band of brothers please. Best war series ever.
As a combat war vet whos actually fought, this movie is fine reminder that the war I experienced is nothing compared to WWII. I don't know how I would have survived or coped. It's a whole other level of chaos.
Cheers to your dad and to you!
Well those ppl back then fought for better values. You are just a hired killer
yeah back then, there wasnt any technological advantage, or drones..but the real war was fought in the east, germany+friends vs USSR... there are a lot of battles were more ppl died than (germans and soviets) than all US casualties from all wars the US was in from 1900 to 2000...
Tell your dad Semper Fi from an old Doc. (FMF Corpsman- He'll know) I saw this in the theater with about a dozen other veteran's on a Tuesday afternoon. When it was over. We all had tears. I will always defer to one old man's opinion . His hat said it all. " D-Day Survivor, Purple Heart"
He stated "Of all the war movies I've seen, that was the most accurate. As for the real thing? It didn't come close."
I took my three sons to see this on the opening weekend. The theater was packed. When the film ended no one left. When credits finished, everyone stood and left the theater is complete silence. No one said a single word. I only seen one other film with that reaction, Schindler's List!
And to your dad, thank you for your service. My dad, my step dad and my uncle were all in WW2 and Korea later. I have my uncle's purple heart from Korea.
When this movie came out they had WW2 veterans watch it, some had to walk out at the beginning, some got sick, and all had emotional reactions from little too having flashbacks. They said that this was this most accurate movie portrayal. They said it was what they actually saw in war.
Went to see it on release in the cinema, they set the volume wrong my ears were ringing after,but it greatly added to the experience. You have to remember there was nothing like it at the time as war films went, so it was very shocking I can't imagine veterans watching it...
Another thing the veterans said is that the beach looked similar to this except more bodies. Many veterans also smelled gasoline during the scene as it looked so real! Much respect to our veterans.
@@sahirdamani1264 came here to say this...honestly cant imagine.
Yeah, I saw it in the theatre when it came out. There were (men there who looked like) WW2 vets there, some of them were in tears over the first parts of the movie. It was sad.
Spielberg has talent what else to say.
Your dad's views are on point! I thank him for his service! My brother is actually a pilot in the Air Force. I just found out he can't fly anymore due to PTSD and I am absolutely torn up about it. I never would have wanted him to deal with something like that... The price we the people pay for war.... our own family...
Praying for you and your brother and family 🙏🏼🙏🏼
They are all Gods Angels 🤍 real heroes
This movie always gets me emotional. Served in the military for 15 years, and even though this movie depicts a war before my time. It still holds true to depicting so many things that is still relevant today, when it comes to the sacrifices that some pays for others freedom, and the bonds made between your comrades.
Thank you for reacting to this movie, it was a pleasure to see both you and your father in this reaction together. I truly enjoyed his addition to this reaction.
🙏🏼🙏🏼
When they cast Matt Damon he wasn't a known actor, between filming this movie and its release is when Good Will Hunting came out which was the first movie that made Matt Famous. And the only reason he was cast in this movie was because Spielberg wanted Ryan to be played by an all American looking guy who was an unknown actor because they wanted Ryan to feel like a guy you could know.
Same with Vin Disel this was his first major film he was in one indie film before it called strays and a few short films this film was his calling card that got him Pitch Black and Fast and Furious!
My dad was drafted and sent to Vietnam. he was not received very well when he came back to the country. At least until he got home. He was the greatest man I've ever known. I can't tell you how many times I've heard him say what your dad said. My father passed 4 years ago but it was like hearing my dad talk all over again. God bless our veterans
Rest east to your pops and God bless 🙏🏼
I'm not even done watching your reaction. But I want to say THANK YOU to your father. I don't know his service history at all. But what I do know is he served. So that means he was one deployment, one order, or even turning one wrong corner from being any of these guys in this movie. Thank you to him for his service.
🙏🏼
When the movie came out in theaters. The first 20 minutes of the movie was so realistic and so gruesome. That military vets who actually served during world war II and Korea and Vietnam that were there at the theater to watch a lot of them reportedly got up and left the theater citing it was just too real It brought back too many memories and several of the vets had a hard time staying to watch
That happened during the showing I went to. I went with my mother to see it and that D-day invasion was the most real thing I'd seen.
Yea, I went when it came out, and a lot of old people got up and left at the beginning. It didnt click to me at the time, that they were probably war vets; I just figured it was so gruesome and realistic that older people couldnt watch it. It didnt register to me until I was an adult later in life that they were probably vets reliving moments.
Thank you for recognizing the Veterans. We appreciate your honor, and your service.
I am a 16 year Army vet myself. Semper Fi
Sorry, but your dad's reaction to you NOT seeing Remember the Titans is priceless. See it!
Agreed! I had to laugh into a pillow so I wouldn't wake my family up.
OMG! This 😂😂
The face!
UPDATE! It’s on channel now ! 🙏🏼
My father hit that beach and survived it. He was later injured in France when a German mortar blew fragments through his cheek. He lost part of his tongue from that. He self medicated his whole life with alcohol. I never judged him for that.
My mother left him over his drinking. He was a kind and gentle man to me, my brother and sister. Never said a word to us in anger, never.
Like most all men from that war, he never mentioned it once. Just a humble, quiet man he was. But looking back as a kid while fishing with him, not knowing at that time, but later reflecting on the moments, he would look out over the lake, and I know now, that he had that thousand yard stare that they talk about regarding combat vets. He's gone now, but I am forever grateful for the sacrifice.
I wonder how I would do in those moments of battle, and I think I would crumble with fear.
Thank you to all of you who have served.
I was 12 when i saw this, I watched it with my great grandfather who fought in the war. Some of the stories he told me still sit with me today years after he passed. His real life stories were horrific but id always been mature and as a 12 year old sadly i was the only one who cared enough to listen to him and his stories. While the rest of my family didn’t care to visit him i was learning about how my great gramp put a bayonet through a wounded germans head to end his suffering. He was a great man, he had a 40 acre barn till the day he died at 98 years old and he tended his massive farm till that day too (with my help in later years when hed allow it)
At the end when he turns and asks his wife... man, I get gutted every time.
That was a beautiful watch with you and your pops, THANK you for that.
That's the gayest scene in the whole movie.
The captain’s shaking hands are symptoms of PTSD. Remember he and the Sargent have a lot more combat experience and have been fighting longer than the other guys. Back then it was called shell shock and prolonged exposure to combat conditions can lead to uncontrollable physical twitches/shakes.
I thought it was Parkinson’s Disease when I first watched it.
@Hydra Dominatus Spielberg said it was PTSD
Well in those days ptsd didn’t exist. The term was shell shock, which later became battle fatigue. Terminology kept changing
What your dad said, at the end, about the bickering and arguing one another, when those that came before us have sacrificed so much to get us ahead, to get us to come together.......from one veteran to another, respect. I am so happy for you to have that man as your father, he understands. God bless.
Thank you for making this and paying homage to The Greatest Generation.
Three of my paternal grandmother's five brothers served in WWII. Two were in the Pacific Theater, while the youngest of the three (17 years old) stormed Omaha Beach in the second wave. My maternal grandfather was posted in India, intercepting and decoding Japanese military radio transmissions. My paternal grandfather served in the Korean War, where he protected his men with dead-eye sniper fire and the leveling of entire hillsides in which the enemy had entrenched themselves. He then was one of three men who mapped the entire Korean DMZ. At one point, he and another soldier were set upon by about 200 Chinese and North Korean soldiers. It took them almost an entire day, but they took down every last one of them with nothing but a carbine, a BAR, their side arms, their combat knives, and their Jiu-Jitsu training from Basic.
We lost the last of them, my paternal grandfather, to Covid on Christmas day 2020 (he only revealed that last story on his deathbed to my dad and uncle). I idolized these men, the toughest yet most humble badass SOB's I've ever known, and it breaks my heart that so few of The Greatest Generation remain.
When you said "what are they saying" after the first battle scene, I was informed that they were speaking Czech not German. They were saying 'we are not german' . They would take POWs and make them fight for Germany
Watching a Marine's perspective on this movie was truly insightful. First time watching .. glad I clicked. But I wish I could have got his/your reaction to Ryan's response to what they were supposed to tell his mother... was kinda looking forward to that....
I hope you gave your Dad a hug after this.
"They got these big guns man"
The ww2 German machine guns were absolutely horrifying. I mean, any weapon of war is horrible, but those German MG's are awful even compared to other machine guns. With that super-high rate of fire, they could literally saw a man in half before he hit the ground.
When the allies designed their own versions, they drastically lowered the rate of fire because they thought the original German design wasted too many bullets. But it's psychological shock value was huge.
And the following year, the Germans introduced a newer version with an even faster rate of fire than the ones in this movie. That thing was almost like hitting someone with a light saber. Instantly hacked to pieces.
To think that, one, the maker of the MG42 was a street lamp manufacturer before.
And two, that half the American casualties on Omaha were the work of ONE MAN, who wished he'd never been there in the first place. Heinrich Severloh, the beast of Omaha.
ua-cam.com/video/bfQdON0saRM/v-deo.html
I believe they used to nickname that gun the German buzz saw just for that reason!!!
@@bernardsalvatore1929 hilter's buzzsaw
@Pat Ludwa germany still uses the mg42 with lower fire rate. its called the mg3 and is slowly phased out for infantry now.
Yet the Germans learned to dread the sound of the American .50 cal MG. It could chop right through walls. No cover.
Your father gets it. Appreciate him and recognize the moment.
Love your father, what a wise man. Like him, I'm a veteran of the Corps but also like him, I didn't see combat. I saw this movie when it first came out, the impact of it was profound. Combat veterans all say it captured the reality of war. I give my complete respect to all war veterans who keep us free and to Steven Speilberg for telling the tale so well.
You k ow what’s crazy is my dads dad , he was from Mexico. But he actually fought in this exact battle. He was only 5’3. I never met him because he died before I was horn but he told my dad “the only reason I’m alive is because I’m short. The German mg42 gunners were amazing for guys 6 feet tall. So all the bullets missed my grandpas head. I’m lucky to be here. And thank you pops for your service i appreciate you. Thanks dude.
Sorry my message is riddled with misspelling but I think you get what I said.
Your abuelo was a brave man. Much respect, brother.
"Only those who've had the courage to insure the freedoms of strangers can truly comprehend its meaning and appreciate its value. Honor always those willing to sacrifice their tomorrows for your today" Marines can write poetry. Sgt. Morris, ChuLai 68
Thankyou to your dad for his service ! Awesome to have him on
My hat is off to your DAD for serving in the Marine Corps. I imagine he served in the IRAQUI war. He looks to have been 20 in 1991. He made a very valuable contribution to the watch. I'm a Vet myself, serving in the US Navy in 1973-77. But oddly, all of my best buds weren't other sailors, but MARINES. I've always had the greatest respect for Marines! Once a Marine, always a Marine!
Take care and Semper Fi Marine!!!
"I'm having a hard time knowing who's who right now."
That's called "the fog of war." It's common on a battlefield, but it is difficult to portray in a movie.
"Memorial Day is hard for them too."
For this one at least, yes. But like the opening scene the family comes with me yearly to a local veteran cemetery and honours the dead.
Active duty soldier, I'm an instructor, about to hit 10 years here soon. This is my first time seeing your channel/watching a reaction from you. Having your dad here to watch this movie alongside you was truly a great experience. It definitely shows he raised you right hearing your input and showing the respect that you did was truly awesome. I hope he is around for more reactions like this in the future and like he said, Remember The Titans has got to be the next movie lol it would be nice to continue to watch you two react to deeper movies like this. I think it's good stuff. all love, thanks for the video!
This veteran is in tears everytime I watch this. Thanks for the love and respect for our veterans. You guys are amazing
Appreciate you 🙏🏼
That first "Ryan" (with the brother in elementary school) was played by Nathan Fillion, famous for the one season tv show "Firefly". His Captain was played by Ted Danson who starred in the tv series "Cheers"
One of the best reactions I’ve ever seen, regardless of the movie. Thank your dad for his service. He seems to have done a fine job of raising you as well, for you to have the insights and respect you do for something that happened 80 years ago.
My grandfather was a very lucky man in WW2. He was an airplane mechanic for B-17 Bombers, far away from the action.
God bless you and yours 🙏🏼
Much respect to your father from an 82nd and 101st, 506th Band of Brothers, Airborne Paratrooper, 28 year veteran. Great men like your father and great Americans like you both are why I and most military members gladly serve and are willing to die for freedom if need be. Semper Fi! Marine! May you live long enough to see your grandchildren's children living free in America!
Shot in the head in Afghanistan, guys. After 3 brain surgeries at Bathsheda, came home to Dayton, Ohio. The surgeries left me in terrible constant pain and my VA doctor had the nerve to call me a drug addict because I needed pain meds! That's how we're treated. I turned them in to the speaker of the house who personally called them and they refused to see me after that (which is against federal law but I don't ever want to go back there anyway.)
I am a veteran. 4 years active duty in the Navy during Vietnam. Never saw combat. I still have trouble sleeping at night feeling guilty because I had several friends killed in Nam. Thanks for all your comments.
Battle or not Thank you for being you 💪🏽🤍
Salute to your father. I came to admire him just from watching him watch this movie. I have quite a few military vets in my family as well.
Much love to them ! And you 🙏🏼
@@mrflickswatches thank you guys for watching this movie my great grandfather was a Spaniard and he served in the German army during ww2 fighting the Russians and was sent to the western front fighting the u.s and was involved in d day and he wanted to say he feels sorry and ashamed of killing the soldiers
Your Dad is great! My brother was a sniper in the 82nd Airborne. You should have heard those tanks in the theater. They were so loud. My brother lost some hearing being near tanks. 2500 men died on Omaha Beach. God Bless Your Dad for his service and God Bless you and all our servicemen and women. Tremendous movie. 🙂
I clicked because you're watching this with your father. I think that's awesome 👌 👏
Steven Spielberg, in an interview, said Pt. Upham represented 'himself': it is how he imagines he would react if he had to literally fight for his life in close combat with an enemy. Any man who's never been trained to do that would be overwhelmed; afraid; unable; inert and helpless. So, we should all think again and put ourselves in the characters' shoes and empathise - rather than be frustrated and angry - with Pt. Upham's inability, through sheer terror, to even place one foot in front of the other, walk up the stairs and confront almost certain death to try and help his friends.
And the Academy Award that year went to that classic “Shakespeare in Love.” Spielberg got scre*wed
You and your dad have a more honest reaction than others I've seen. As regards Upham's character, compare his actions with the police response at Uvalde school. And there were up to 60 of them frozen in place.
Excellent point.
60? Try 400.
I love your dad. Huge thank you to him for his service.
My father fought in this war and Korea and Viet Nam. Thank you and your dad for talking about this movie. Tell your Dad I thank him for his service.
I have two theories about this movie, but I can’t confirm them.
The first is that I don’t think Tom Hank’s hand shakes because of nerves. I think it’s from nerve damage from firing his weapon. He using a Thompson machine gun. Those vibrate quite a bit. So using it form so long maybe the reason for it. But again that just a theory.
Secondly is that Wade, the medic, knowing that he’s is going to die, intentionally has the others give him an overdose of morphine, so that he will die quicker, and not suffer in pain.
Thank you for your service, you are a wise man. Just wish more Americans got it, I don't think the yourger generations understand the price paid for the freedom that we enjoy today. Enjoyed your reactions and review. Looking forward to more, some suggestions would be "The Pacific", "Band of Brothers" and "Hacksaw Ridge".
Tell that to the generation and a half who fought, bled, and died, in Afghanistan and Iraq. Stop selling their sacrifices short.
My family has a strong history of military service going back to the Civil War. I take exception to the idea that any generation has a greater share of sacrifice. While WWII may have been a more obvious example of a "just war" in terms of the men and women on the ground serving, their is no difference in what we are willing to sacrifice. I fought in Iraq and while I feel like the efforts and sacrifices of my comrades in Iraq and Afghanistan were a waste of life, that doesn't diminish their value in lives.
America has fought constantly from 1941 to the present. Constantly. I have had uncles and cousins in Korea, Vietnam, Desert Storm, Bosnia, Afghanistan, Iraq, and God knows where else. I have cousins that are serving right now. Comments about "this generation" are the same bullshit that has been peddled by the older generation since some geezer was stacking mud bricks in Sumeria 6,000 years ago was saying "These kids today are so soft with their irrigated crops and written words..." It's never true, cut it out.
@@charlielemmel311 I am european but I think he means the youth NOW, they have no respect for any generation of the military and certainly are not willing to die even for their misguided values.
@@charlielemmel311I am not talking about our service men and women. I am talking about a generation who don't know about the history of our country. The sacrifice that men and woman have made, both military and civilians, to give us this precious gift call freedom. If you don’t know, where you have been, you don’t know where you are going. Unfortunally a lot of our young people have received an education that omits our history or portrays our country as the root of all evil. It used to be called American Exceptionalism, today that is an evil word.
@@minnesotavikings7163 the thing is ppl that talk like u turn a blind eye to all the fucked up shit our government does in other countries and in our own, I think it’s better to have a balance between appreciation for sacrifice and also understanding the sins of our country as well
Semper Fi to your father from a fellow Marine. My father was a tanker with the 761st Tank Battalion during World War II. He fought in many battles including the Saar Campaign, the Battle of the Bulge and the crossing of the Rhine River. The 761st Tank Battalion had a 50% casualty rate. I'm a peace time Marine and enlisted in the 80s. I can't even imagine what my father went through despite the stories that he told me.
Great Reaction!! it's refreshing to see you guys show so much respect for those that have served and are currently!! Great Job!!
💪🏽💪🏽 hit me on my Instagram if either of you have one! Gf said she’d love to do a movie with yaw ! 🙏🏼
Instagram link on “About Section”
Just FYI, your Dad's look to camera when you told him you have never seen Remember the Titans is what got me subbed to the channel. LOL
There were no US Marines in Normandy...the Marines did train the Army on amphibious assault techniques, but the Marines did not participate in the D-Day landings. During the time of D-Day, the Marines were busy invading Saipan in the Marianas, if I am not mistaken.
Also, the helmets of WW2 could not stop a bullet, except in very rare circumstances...that guy that took off his helmet would have been killed even if he was wearing it.
That was more than motherly intuition...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.
That is really well done spotting that the eyes of the old guy at the beginning are not the same as Tom Hanks...almost nobody figures that out before the reveal at the end. 💯✌
Welcome to the squad homie ! 🌟
I've watched dozens of reactions to this movie and every single time the scene with the mother just breaks me down!!! Also the scene with Wade dying and calling for his mother after he told everyone the story of how he would pretend to sleep when he really didn't want to talk!!
I love that you’re watching this with your dad . I watched this with my dad in the theater when it came out, I was 21 and my daughter would be born a year later. As I sat there that first 30 min of the beach scene, it hit me inside that that could have been me and those boys were going thru hell that I can’t imagine, and I teared up and cringed. When the credits rolled we made our way up the steps and I looked over and saw an elderly man slumped over with his face in his hands and his wife rubbing his back. I will NEVER ever forget that moment. I can only imagine he lived thru the hell that I just witnessed and I hope he’s resting in peace somewhere. God bless our country and the men like him.
Watching this with your dad really makes me miss my dad. He's been gone 4 years. We used to do this
I have 40 years on you. We learned to appreciate your father who served. THANK YOU.
I could not take my eyes off your Dad during this. I don't know what he's seen, and I don't need to. He knows things. Please have him involved with any "realistic" military watches you do, and I'll be there for every one.
Read up on some of the stories that came from the people who watched this movie in theaters with WWII, Korea, and Vietnam vets in the same theater. Amazing moments of humanity.
I first saw this movie when it first got released on VHS, having missed it in theaters. Just so incredibly done and worth every accolade. (That it lost to Shakespeare in Love will forever be a mystery to me.)
To your dad, respect! My grandfather was a WWII marine and though he died when I was still an infant in '80, he's been made to be a legend in my mind. Marines are built different. That said, if you haven't seen the HBO miniseries Band of Brothers or The Pacific, I highly recommend. One follows the Army, and the other follows the Marines, and both do so in such a different way. Worth watching, for sure.
All my uncles served in the military. My Father's brothers served in WWII and my mother's brother served in Vietnam. My Father was much younger than his brothers. They all had their horrors to deal with after their service. My mother's brother never talked about what happened or what he saw. I can just imagine how much more worse it could have been in real life. You're father and all veterans have my utmost respect. You would hope movies like this and Schindler's list would put better perspective on life for all who watch them. Your Father's statement was great! And he is right we need to come together and quit the petty stuff. Stay safe and live well.
14:35 - this matched my face when you said you haven’t seen Remember the Titans. DEFINITELY a must watch!
I got you !! 🌟
The scene where Ryan is telling the story about his brothers was completely improvised by Matt Damon.
This is my first time watching your channel. First I would like to say thank you to your dad for his service. My dad was a veteran of WWII. He lived through exactly what this movie showed. He was 18 when he got drafted. I hope everybody watching this listens to what your dad had to say. People of the generations now have no idea what the people that came before them had to go through so that we can live the way we do now. Again, thanks to your dad!!!
God bless your Dad & all Veterans ! Especially those that made the ultimate sacrifice !
Great react! What's next? Band of Brothers?
I agree with pops you have to watch remember the Titans. Maybe get your wife, sister and dad to watch it with you.
Thank you for your service and keeping our country free. I love what you said about Americans at each other's throats, fighting about stupid stuff. I love both your reactions. You have raised a wise son. You are what makes America great. God bless you guys
Thank you for your service to your dad. I served but nowhere near this experience. I have the ultimate respect for my father who served in the Navy during this period and all those of the Greatest Generation. Thank you for your reaction. This movie symbolizes what my belief of all those serving in the military in being part of something bigger than yourself.
Great reaction bro! 👍🏿 And I salute your dad and all veterans of the US armed forces. 🇺🇸
You need to do the Band of Brothers series. It’s real
I liked the video, even though I got misty eyed. I am a veteran. I was recently traveling and wearing my hat with Coast Guard emblem on it. Several people said 'Thank you for your service' to me. But the most special moment was when an 8- or 9-year-old boy came up and shook my hand and said, "Thank you for your service" His family was somewhere, but he wasn't prompted to do so. That was a very special moment.
Special moment indeed 🙏🏼 you deserve respect. Wether everyone gives it to you or not I’m here to do that 💪🏽 thank you
My dad was in Nam...shot down, had to fight out...he went to this & had to race out. Said it was the first time a movie got the bullets right. He was in the lobby with several WW2. Korea & Nam vets who were basically having panic attacks. They collected themselves & went back in, but yeah....that powerful.
Bro, do more reactions with your dad. I really enjoyed his take. He's totally grounded in reality.
We plan on doing the Ip Man series he’s coming back eventually
@@mrflickswatches Sounds good.👍
I can't blame the character of Upham at all. He'd never killed a man, and he made it half way up those stars because he wanted to help but couldn't overcome his fear. I don't think I'd have been able to leave whatever hole I was hiding in to even make it in the building.
as a vet you both did a great job and can tell your dad thank you for his service and comments
This is the best reaction I’ve seen. Your father added so much wisdom and insight. Thank you.
I can remember visiting the Vietnam memorial which was so powerful to see all those names. There was a small procession there one being an older Veteran sitting in a chair. I don't know why but I felt I could not just go by him without doing something. I wanted to salute him but felt it was not my place to do so as I never served.I stopped in font of him and without saying a word put my hand out to him. At first he gave me a look but then took my hand, I didn't shake his hand, but just held his firmly for a couple of seconds. I only hope he could feel what I was trying to convey, I think he did.
Semper Fi, sir! My great uncle, Norval, was on Iwo Jima. He was a Marine, honorably discharged as a Gunny Sergeant. He was a proud Marine. So much so that he named his first daughter Maureen.
I saw this movie in the theater with a friend of mine. We went because I love Tom Hanks. We both left like 😮 A masterpiece. Every time it's on, I watch it, no matter where in the movie it is.
I was 19 when when it came out. This was the first movie that (as real and practical as possible) showed us war.
I remember being sick to my stomach. I saw my uncle and Grandpa completely different after watching this.
Thank you for showing so much respect for our military. You guys are true patriots.
My family watched the movie when it first came out and we were blown away. It probably is the closest you can get to a realistic depiction of war without a) watching actual combat footage (which probably wouldn't be as powerful) or b) being in the fight yourself. I joined the Air Force a bit later in life and then moved over to the Air National Guard where I am now. Being a maintenance technician, my experience was nothing like this. But I am proud of my service, and I want to say thanks to your dad for his service as well as being part of this reaction.
I have watched SPR I don't know how many times, and it never fails to bring a tear. At the opening scene in the cemetery, I think of my dad. Especially with the numerous amphibious landings he made in the Pacific as an infantry captain. You two guys are the best of all the Saving Private Ryan reactions that I have watched over the past years! I served over 26 years in parachute infantry and Special Forces, and your dad's commentary was almost exactly what mine was to my son. Absolutely superb for both of you. Best wishes and respect to you as a fellow brother-in-arms Marine from a US Army grunt!
I just graduated from high school.. I was eighteen years old when I first saw this movie…this was first war movie that just kicked me in the face with how realistic it was, even now at 42.. I still get that same feeling
Your dad seems like a real one. Thank you for your service, sir.
I already knew the movie, i watched it probably over half a dozens of time. But what got me most in this "first time watching" video was not the movie itself, it was what your father said at the end of the video: that "earn it" was not meant for Matt Damon's character, it was meant for everyone on earth. Every. Single. Person.
You can be proud of your dad, he's a wise man. I salute you both, from Germany, with love.
Im about 20 minutes in and wanted to pause and say thank you for having your father sit in with you watching this. He gives a mature perspective, and adds human context thats very much needed in a movie of this subject matter and caliber.
You're blessed to have a dad like him.
Appreciate that a lot 🙏🏼
Your Dad is such a wise gentleman. His insight and comments are so relevant and true.
My grandmother was one of the soldiers that land on D-Day. So I made sure that when it came out I rented so he could watch it. Then we stayed all night and he told me all his experiences on that day and while he was marching across Italy. It was one of my most cherished night. That why one of the reasons why is and will be my hero til the day I day
Great reaction, & so true on so many levels. Proud to say my brother & 2 cousins all served as Marines. My dad as a Navy Corpsman with Marines in Vietnam.
You have a family of warriors 💪🏽💪🏽
