During the boot camp that the actors had to go through, they became fed up with it. They met in a motel room, discussed quitting and then voted on it. All were in favor of quitting except for one, Tom Hanks. He told them that they were part of something that was going to be great and if they quit they would regret it for the rest of their lives. The actors all decided to stay. Just as Hanks character was a leader in the film, Hanks established himself as a leader amongst the actors.

@@Iiva69 Well, no, that's definitely not true. They had their moments like the Dachau Massacre of mass execution, but the Germans did things like that, too - REGULARLY. Lining up allied soldiers and machinegunning them was not abnormal. The Germans' crimes are honestly beyond anything that the allies did. One thing that the allies, to include the Soviet Union, did not do was create an entire unit made up of freed murderers and rapists from prison to turn loose on the local population. No allied soldiers stacked up bodies by the millions and burned them to hide crimes of mass killing. No allied soldiers rose to the level of Amon Goethe from the movie, Schindler's List - a character that had to have his crimes toned down in order to ensure the audience wouldn't completely disconnect from the movie. Some Nazi SS officers made lampshades and decorative ornaments out of the skin and bones of murderer Jews. That's some Hannibal Lecter sh!+ right there. Watch Schindler's List and Saving Private Ryan back-to-back and then ask yourself if the shooting of two Czech soldiers in the heat of battle by a couple ignorant guys rises to the level of evil that the Nazis scarred into the psyche of humanity. Even in the Pacific, the crimes committed by allied forces against the Japanese doesn't rise to the level of atrocities committed against allied prisoners by the Imperial Japanese forces.

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. My favorite character is Private Jackson/sniper and my second favorite is Sargent Horvath. RIP Tom Sizemore😇 6. Sizemore also played Boxman in "Flight of the Intruder", a movie I'm in briefly.

Can you blame the german for picking up a gun again? He ran into SS troops, they would shoot him if he said "i promised some americans to not fight them again", that stuff worked maybe during the 7 years war to an extent, not with a totalitarian regime as the enemy. Edit: Kind of hilarious, Upham sees the result of him letting that german captain go, decides to shoot him, and then lets five more soldiers go, who potentially will kill even more allied soldiers, once they get weapons...

A lot of families of veterans say that their loved one refused to discuss their experiences in war.

Hey, former combat engineer with the USMC here. Those pipes that they were pushing under the barb wire in the beginning scene are called bangalore torpedos. If you listen to the dialog you can hear Tom Hanks say, "Bangalore up!" They are basically long pipes, that can be hooked up end to end, and are packed with explosives. We use them as a path clearing device. We slide them under obstacles like barb wire and the like, and detonate. They clear out whatever is on top.

Important fact: During WW2 a Ranger Company consisted of about 152 men. So when Tom Hanks is reporting his casualties "35 dead, time 2 wounded), thats 105 out of the 152 he was in command of. In a situation like that and with the mission he had been tasked with to find Ryan, it wouldn't have been uncommon for the remainder of his men to be put temporarily under command of a different unit.

A lot of the soldiers defending Normandy were in that situation, unfortunately. Normandy was considered an unlikely option for the Allied invasion, so it was a lot of foreign conscripts and reservists. Most of the "good" German troops were sent east to fight the Russians or held in reserve to rush to whatever area actually ended up as the beachhead. If we're being honest, had the Germans actually placed their good soldiers there (and a lot of other good luck not occured), it's entirely possible that the invasion actually would have failed.

I can only imagine how many of those seniors were war vets. It was one of the most emotional and traumatizing experiences I've had in a movie. After the film was over and the lights came, the crowd remained solemn, many of us wiped our eyes. A lot sat in our seats trying to compose ourselves till the very last credits rolled. I can't watch this and not think about the people I grew up with who served and came back, people I knew, who were in my family. Hits me every time.

I’ve always appreciated that the anxious, clumsy, inexperienced soldier doesn’t just *magically* become calm and competent once he’s forced into combat. Sure, some people manage to focus and find new strength under pressure - but not everyone is wired that way. Some people freeze or panic, that’s just how their brains work. That character is a great reminder that not everyone can handle war in the same way, and it has NOTHING to do with whether or not they’re a “good person.”

The reason for the hesitation and serious faces when Captain Miller agrees to the medic Wade's request for additional morphine is that he was asking to be euthanized, not for pain relief. It was widely known among the soldiers that two shots with such heavy blood loss would be fatal. Wade was asking to be killed to end his suffering as he knew he wasn't going to survive this. Cap Miller agrees and that's why everyone stares at him and they reluctantly give him the additional shot. Morphine administration was dangerous and very easy to overdose during WWII. Without major blood loss, 3 shots would generally be fatal. With major blood loss, 2 shots would be fatal. Medics would mark the helmet or forehead of any wounded with an "M" whenever they administered morphine to stop any additional morphine triggering an accidental overdose when the wounded person is moved off the battlefield.

And I'm like okay but you're missing out on this incredible scene. But that's how my dad was. One thing didn't make sense, tarnished the rest of the film for him.

Many soldiers did get sick onnthe Higgins boats not just because of stress but sea sickness. Not only were the seas rough that morning but most of them had been on the transports for two days or so. They had been loaded aboard for the original landing date and when it was postponed, it was decided that it would take too long to unload and then reload them, and it would be a security risk, so they were left there. The transports they were on didn't ride very well in the best of times, and with the rough water, overcrowded conditions, plumbing stressed to failure and backing up, it was terrible for them. They also knew very well what they were attacking. The beaches were well mapped and details were known about the bunkers and all. They knew it was going to be bad. This is why they launched in something of a break in bad weather: the Germans wouldn't expect them. As such, many of the high command had gone on leave and the defenses were not all fully ready. In some places they were, such as the one depicted in this movie. Had they all been and a few other turns, the invasion could have failed as many expected it to. The helmets in WWII and into Vietnam were meant to protect against shell and grenade fragments, most of such fragements. Bullets might get deflected if you were very lucky, but usually they'd get through.

@jayhosh8126 2 ай бұрын

I always saw the soldier rose up and took his helmet off was because he was in absolute shock and took it off to determine if he was shot in the head and somehow still alive observing the damage on his helmet, he wasn't sure if he should get down severely injured or place the helmet back on after he knew he was still somehow good.

More than 35 men died on that beach. When the Captain said 35 dead, he was a Company Commander entering the battle. So when he asked how many he lost, it was 35 in his company. There was more than one company out there. When the Captain’s superiors were taken out that put him in charge of all the companies on the beach. Hence him asking “who is in charge?” “I think you are sir”

@iKvetch558 2 ай бұрын

The 35 dead was later on in a different mission than the landing...they showed him reporting to Dennis Farina on D-Day +3...we never really find out how many of the company were killed or wounded during the landings. I guess it is possible that Miller is reporting in all his losses for the entire 3 days, but it seems wrong that Miller would have had no contact with his superiors in all that time. Also, Miller is a Company Commander, that is why Sizemore comments on how the Army "took his company away" after he got assigned to find Ryan with a small squad.

@f0rth3l0v30fchr15t 2 ай бұрын

@@iKvetch558 No, but if he's got 35 dead, there's probably a similar number too wounded to fight, which would put his company at somewhere between 1/2 and 1/3 full strength, which means it's no longer able to operate offensively. The rest of the batallion is going to be in similar shape, so until they can be reinforced or taken out of the front line, the CO would likely have had to consolidate his remaining guys into effective, full (or near enough) strength companies.

Clarification: The Doc Wade death scene is one people miss the point of a lot. Basically, once Wade realized he was hit in the liver (thats a mortal wound.....you WILL die), he realized he was dead. Him asking for morphine was to ease the pain while he died.....thats not uncommon for soldier that are dieing, to be giving drugs to ease tue pain of it. So when Captain hears his request for more morphine, he too realizes what doc is asking him for, hence the slight hesitation from everyone in the moment.

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 at 13:44 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 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.

6:30 gotta remember too, those “hedgehogs” (big metal spiky things) on the beach were meant to tear up the bottoms of landing craft during an amphibious landing assault.

It wasn't until relatively recently that helmets were able to stop bullets, and even now a lot of modern ones can only stop glancing hits or smaller calibers. At LEAST through the Vietnam War, helmets were intended to prevent shrapnel injuries, not direct shots from a gun. It's not much, but it's something, especially considering how prolific the use of artillery and grenades were throughout the 20th century. Additionally, the "German" troops on D-Day were WILDLY outnumbered. It was considered unlikely that Normandy would be the invasion point for the allies, so a lot of the troops there were foreign conscripts or reservists, while the cream of the German military was held in reserve to react to the invasion as well as being sent east to fight the Russians. Also, screw the people who say Fury was inaccurate. The vast majority of complaints I've seen have no merit and are presented by people who don't seem to know what the hell they're talking about.

There is a scene where a man hands him a piece of paper that man is the commander the actor is portraying.. in the actual battle the actor was the man handing the paper to the commander he is portraying. A scene from actual life being recreated on screen with the guys just swapping places and each is wearing the unit patches worn on that day by each other.

What ripped my heart out was as we were leaving there was an very elderly man in a wheelchair, we didn't have seating for wheelchairs back then in the small theater, sitting on the end and his face was wet with tears. He was wearing a cap with his regiment's insignia and the words WWII Veteran. I was too emotional from the movie and knowing for him this all happened I couldn't say a word but I touched his shoulder as I passed him. He nodded his head and as I left I heard him talking to his family about, "I lost so many of my friends..." To this day as of right now I have tears streaming my face with the memory. Spielberg got approval from one vet at least that I saw. And many more I came across, I worked as a civilian on a Military Base for 10 years, said he got the emotions right.
