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

      There's something about tension and rainfall.
      Even a game like airsofting, I was deep in a bush, all shrouded in camouflage, waiting for the enemy team to trot past me. I let the first three or four get by me before I layed into the last guy. I schwacked a couple of them but most of them got by me, and then we waited on each other for a long while. The rain on the foliage, the splash of water off of my silly toy, it was the only thing moving, a long murmuring pause after a moment of intense action. Absolutely incredible, glad I will probably never have to do something like that for real.

      Many Czech stuntmen worked on this film, who are considered to be top in their field. The German sniper is one of them. His name is Leoš Stránský and he is currently the head of a company that performs stunt scenes for many Hollywood films. Leoš described for Czech television that the scene was very difficult for him. The sweat, which is visible in the film, is real, he said, because it was very hot at the time and the scene was filmed for several hours, during which the director shouted at him where to look.

    Another thing I didn't realize until watching this for the millionth time is the German sniper began to suspect another sniper. Traditionally, American soldiers would have laid down covering fire in the direction of the sniper while grabbing their wounded man in a large group to minimize time of exposure. When these soldiers didn't do that, the sniper checked to see if his men had left him for dead. When he saw Caparzo (Vin Diesel) conversing with Tom Hanks behind the car, he thought "Why is no one running or attacking?"
    My thinking is at that point he realized, "There's another sniper somewhere."

    • @Supperdude9
      @Supperdude9 2 роки тому +441

      That's very sound logic. If you can't precision a problem, you overwhelm it. If they didn't have their own sniper to deal with him, they would have just blasted in the direction of the shot, covering fire all over the place. The look on his face also told a tale that he knew something was very wrong. They were going to deal with him precisely.

    • @rbrtck

      If this were real life, they probably should/would have used the alternative tactic anyway, as Caparzo might have had a chance if the medic could have stopped the bleeding with a hemostat or whatever it would have taken. But of course, this being a movie, they went for something more dramatic with pathos. Besides, in real life, I doubt that German sniper would have stayed put unless he wanted to die.

      That might have been correct, but everything else about the counter-shot (against the German sniper) is wrong. The terminal ballistics are impossible. Specifically: presuming a 2800fps muzzle velocity (normal or even a little generous for M2 ammo out of a Springfield 1903), a 30-06 round is on a downward trajectory at 450 yards, and has been for most of its flight. It would be physically impossible for the bullet to enter German sniper's scope at an upward angle and continue into the sniper's eye.

It just really upsets me if they even go that far to write "after real events/ a true story" - in the end it is all made up and everything changed to make it more exciting and dramatic to watch. Also what the hell is even this title? Nazi sniper? Did he snipe Nazis? I highly doubt alot of acctual German soldiers back than were actually Nazis... but that's the typical good-vs-bad shit... create a villain and a hero and there is nothing or not much beside that...
      For me it is even more illogical that this sniper taken the shot and than did nothing anymore - what did he do in this over two minutes? Make and eat a German sandwich?!
      I think even more important would be to not let your enemy a chance to regroup/ organize again and even more to get a shot on you, but all of that happened here. This does not fit the character you see there. Even that you only catch a few seconds on him, you see somebody being attentive, calm, not to young - so most likely even experienced and propably also a quite decent marksman.

    Spielberg is a master at creating tension. The piercing sound of a sniper rifle combined with the subsequent crumpling of Caparzo onto the destroyed piano is brilliant. It still sends a shiver down my spine when I hear that random assortment of piano notes being played. The first time I watched this movie I was legitimately shocked because of the sound design and the cinematography - they made this situation seem incredibly real.
    All around an excellent scene, some of the dialogue doesn't make sense at first but it still felt very real (despite the extremely unrealistic aimbot that Jackson turns into by putting a bullet through a sniper scope from 500 yards away). Spielberg is just a genius filmmaker for how he sets up scenes by utilizing the senses of the audience.

    I would like to think the German sniper shot Caparzo because he seemed like an officer of higher rank, pointing and directing his ‘troops’ around the area. The sniper really does have talent, waiting in silence and knowing to target higher-value soldiers when the time is right.
    Note: I know that almost every sniper is told this on Day 1, but it is a detail most war movies ignore where the sniper just shoots some private instead.

  • @bobbyricigliano2799

    There is a lot to take in here. One of the most compelling elements is that Caparzo seems more frustrated than fearful of death. The guy is big and strong, and just made it off the beach unscathed with slaughter all around him. The sniper’s bullet comes out of nowhere, and he is determined to push through it and not let it stop him. He doesn’t scream for a medic, he wants to pick up his rifle and fight. But he just can’t. He is telling his body to get up and go, but it isn’t responding anymore. This film never stops overwhelming the viewer, no matter how many times you’ve seen it.

    Fun fact: this scene is based off of a real story out of ‘Nam. A US sniper nicknamed “The White Feather” for a feather he wore on his helmet was known for making incredible shots, but also taking hours, if not days, to set up the shot. For a few days, he sparred with an NVA sniper. They were exchanging shots, and both came close to dying. On the final day, he was scanning for the target when he saw the telltale glint of a sniper scope. He instinctively fired a shot, and when he went to confirm the kill, he found that his shot had passed clean through the scope without grazing the sides and went through the enemy’s eye. That meant the enemy was already trained on him, but he was just a hair faster to the trigger.
    Edit: I'm just gonna edit this, because a bunch of people keep commenting that it's not possible. It's a real, possible thing, and we know it because it's actually happened. I literally can't be more clear about that.

It starts by having Jackson, who we know is a talented sniper, complimenting his enemy. Then when we actually see the German sniper, he's expressing like a normal human being would. He's not wearing a cold or evil expression, he sympathizes with Caparzo. It's really well done for such a short scene.
