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.

No matter how many times you watch it he will never get up the stairs.
🤦♀️
@@negaran1238 are you ok? You've literally commented with this same emote dozens of times on other people's comments.
@@Nick-82 what's wrong with it?
Indeed, good thing I paused the video to stop the guy from stabbing Mellish.
You don't know that ! " rewinds " move upham !
This scene was hard to watch the first time. You keep on waiting for Upham to find the courage to walk up those stairs and save his friend, but he never does. Normal Hollywood movies would have that deus ex machina moment where characters suddenly discover their heroic side at times like these. But not this movie; Saving Private Ryan wants you to experience the pain.
🤦♀️
@@negaran1238 Ah yes, the spammer.
Q
The planes arriving just when they were about to be overrun was kinda deus ex tho
@@R.a.f.a.e.l. I mean Air Power was OP in WW2, and the P51s were terrifying, but yeah it is quite dramatic. Even so I think it’s fine to excuse this since it does make sense, the Allies had Air Power and it helped so much more than extra troops being put on the front line.
The German soldier took one look at Upham, thought to himself, "This is not a soldier. He's not a part of this," and just moved on.
🤦♀️
It was the German soldier they captured earlier when they assaulted the machinegun nest near the destroyed Antenna. The one that everyone but Upham wanted to shoot cause they lost their Medic.
@@Crackshotsteph no it was not him. It looks like him but its not him. The guy that Upham shot at the end was him.
Why do so many people think the upstairs soldier is the same guy they let go earlier? It is not the same guy. Been saying it for years.
@@Crackshotsteph no it’s not.
God I always hated this scene.
The way he slowly stabs the knife into his chest haunted me since I first saw it.
Great movie.

Thank you very much. This brought an even more human touch to all this and made it even sadder and terrifying. And the part with hitting Sgt. Horvath is somehow awkwardly funny, as a ridiculous miniature in all of that surrounding horror.

I like to think that the fitting punishment for his cowardice, moral highgrounding, and inaction throughout the entire film was that he got to live an entire lifetime filled with guilt, regret, and shame for knowing his comrades' blood was on his hands. That would haunt any man until the day he dies.
The symbolism of that scene was also to show America’s failure to act while Nazi Germany committed atrocities against the Jews of Europe until it was too late (Upham, being America, his comrade Mellish, the Jewish people, and obviously the German soldier, the Nazis.)
you the type of person that leaves miles of comments on youtube, but talk about high risk moral compasses. You get upset about wearing a mask, but talk about throwing your life.
@@MrHDE-ex6xl pretty sure it was the British that knew about it, not the Americans.
In reality he was just a typist that knew how to speak multiple languages.
He arrived there on a draft, he was used as rear echelon, he was never trained or expected to be on the frontline. Suddenly hes in the thick of battle attached to an elite unit of soldiers...
@@vacio9906 I am really fucking sure they both knew the kind of shit going on. Antisemitism didn't know countries, it just existed then (and now). It is not for us to judge countries back then, I guess they were all horrible.
Upsetting scene
One of the worst..
The whole films upsetting .
However the acting in it is absolutely remarkable ..
. I remember a comment I see on this .
All the kids should watch this film in schools .
I couldn’t write a comment better than that .
Especially thanks to Upham for the upset!!😩😩😩
One of the hardest scenes to watch in this absolute masterpiece of a movie.
Exactly
I didn’t even see it coming
literal war, people being shot and stabbed... "damn, we better censor these swears, cant have people's delicate ears be corrupted"
Blame youtube law
To be fair, that’s perfectly valid.
@@georgeofhamilton How is it?
@@joseph1845 Swearing is a different sort of profanity from violence. It’s not as intrinsically repulsive, but it’s morally wrong.
@@georgeofhamilton So you don't see any contradiction in showing violence yet censoring swear words?
Man... I've never been so pissed at a fictional character. But that's actually the beauty of this scene. The fact that they kept hollywood cliches out of the movie is what makes it a masterpiece.
I've heard it said that a lot of people in WW2 didn't fire their weapons as often as they could have--we are told at a young age it is wrong to kill--I have also heard it said that people who make it to the objective are rare--most people won't make it--like anything else in life, the majority will quit or somehow fail--only so many will make it as far as intended and necessary for success--anyone who's spent a day in the military or in fast food knows all about that.
Upham was a translator working with the Rangers. He was never supposed to be in that situation. Yeah, you can't let your brother die like that, but his body froze and there was nothing he could do except wait for his own death.
Upham got nothing but my empathy. War is so damn cruel, it gets out the worst in us. If only it was someone like Jackson in his place
If he were not in the situation what ta hell.he was doing in the normandy or in the normandy invasion if ikes now this happen Upham will be in firing squad!!!
It’s so easy for us to judge Upham as a coward who will live the rest of his life with this shame eating away at his soul. But quite frankly if I were put in this situation, I’m not so sure I would have done better.
And that’s why this scene is so hauntingly brilliant. War is hell. Many of us would be pissing in our pants, just like this guy.
I agree
Coward
Grow some balls and man up
That's pathetic and I hope you would never disgrace your country's military by trying to join. Gaming in your name to indicate a child who sits and plays video games all day and can't even muster enough courage to leave mom's basement and face real life
@@cameronspence4977 Well then it’s a good thing that I’m not planning on joining, and that the draft hasn’t been invoked in decades.
By the way, I’m curious. In what branch of the military did YOU serve in, and were you ever sent into active combat?
@@cameronspence4977 look man, at least he understands what he can and can't do. notice how upham warned captain that he can't and does not want to shoot a gun, he was not made for attack. many of us would cower in fear at the bare sounds of someone dying, and while yes, it is shameful to do that, you need to understand that some of us aren't willing or simply can't frolick in the scene of battle and kill someone.
The scene is excruciating to watch as Spielberg intended.
Yeah Wonder What Its Like Uncut?
2:50 the best scene for me
You can tell his head is sticking through a hole in the floor and the arm is fake--fans of Benny Hill know not to challenge me on that.
I like the scene that German soldier didn't kill Upham, just walk past him
Because he knew he was so worthless and cowardly it wouldn't even be worth his 2 seconds of time or a single bullet to even bother killing him
Upham killed him anyway after that
@@manjago9821 different guy
Probably more painful letting Upham live knowing he could have acted but didn't.
It's called Live and Let Live. It's something that soldiers do in war.
If you don't shoot me I won't shoot you.
This is the most gut wrenching scene in the film. Even when I watch on TV now, I fast forward through it.
I was very traumatised and I’ve actually felt really intense chest pains on Tuesday whilst I had a vision of my nightmares. My mother got very concerned as I randomly lashed out because I had a feeling the movie was probably protecting me, I’m even still terrified of my own Woody. I feel so protected when saving private Ryan is by my side because the movie sees Woody as a threat against me. I still love the way the movie pushes Woody out of my bed every night telling Woody to F off. I totally regret throwing most of my war stuff away because the war was so protective over me until it turned me off. I hate Woody and the war for this
Before I saw this movie I never thought to describe a stabbing scene as intimate, but that really is the word for it.
This movie has always been more for me about Upham than about Ryan. Upham is someone we see evolve. Ryan is just someone they are all hoping to see, and save, after all the sacrifices they made.
One time we were in the field, being all tactical and shit but the RTO fell asleep at the CP; a squad couldn't come in until given the go-ahead from the RTO--who was out cold. As a result, those suckers were out there all night and when they got in in the morning, it was "Saddle-up, Kilo--we're moving out."
I love everyone giving Upham crap for being a coward. Who knows how someone would react to all of this in his shoes?
That's why no one will remember your name.

2:48 DAMMIT, i really got emotional a moment ago and then this scene appears which cracks me up.
In real life it would have been through his eye with Upham watching the blade come through the floor.
Poor Upham got overwhelmed. He has nothing to be ashamed of, it's not his fault that Mellish died. At least we get to see him redeem himself later on and prove that he's just as much of a hero as everyone else who served in our military.
This is one particular scene I never forgot. This is where he learned stuff about himself in a way he would've never wanted. He would have to life with that decision for the rest of his life and know in his heart that he'd failed and the failure was very serious. Doing what's easy and doing what's right are often two different things and sometimes doing what's right in the short term can be in some cases extremely difficult. It's an awful way to find that out and when it costs someone else their life.
Saw in theater. Upham genuinely upset many in the audience.
This probably happened a lot for all combatants in all theaters.
Upham is the kind of guy who hides in a bush all throughout a PUBG round.
imagine the amount of people questioning the scene where the german walks past him and leaves… but it works
🤦♀️
for those asking what he says is sort of "I know this ..let's finish it, it's easier for you, much easier, this thing, it's almost done-almost finished"
2 guys: tackling each other and screaming
RUclips captions: *ah yes, music*
It's so creepy, how calming and gentle the german soldier talked to mellish, while he stabbed him...
He tried to comfort him that the war would tgen be over for him.
He was asking him to do things "easier for him" and that "it'll be over soon".
The army figured out long ago that not all soldiers are killers. Within the army is a core of soldiers who don't quit even under heavy fire. These are the ones you best not mess with. The rest of the army are just bodies in support roles. Upham is a support soldier he just doesn't have it in him. So you shouldn't hate him, because he was pushed to his limit and could do no more.
You mean bullet catchers.

Just shows how powerful the movie is. One of my all time favorites
I remember my mum letting me watch this when I was 12 years old , gave me nightmares for weeks, still find it hard to watch now
Same
I’ve had nightmares for a month about it. It was really intense how I was screaming upstairs and Ryan immediately came running up there and I got saved just in time. I was still bleeding out and everyone else just leaves Ryan to do everything even without helping him like what the actual hell?! Thank god we both survive and ended up together after D-Day. We do return to Normandy a year after the invasion and I felt so paralysed remembering what happened in 1944. It was the most intense nightmares yet
Just remember Upham had no previous combat experience besides the few minor battles before, he really didn't know how to react at the time and just collapsed from all the stress he was experiencing at the time.
Upham is carrying a gun and is draped in multiple bandoliers of ammo. Yet the German walks past Upham with his back turned to him, that's how little danger Upham poses. Then the German soldier cautiously looks out before walking out from cover, showing us he is fully aware of the dangers around him... it's just that Upham is not one of them. It's like those politicians, loudmouths and others that pose with assault rifles and brag about how many guns they own...they won't be coming up those stairs to save your ass when the shit hits the fan.
3:10 this scene whas one of my favourites it shows how emotionally damaged both sides we're and really Just how they din't really want to fight but defend their countries.
"A soldier doesn't fight because he hates what's infront of him ,but because he loves what's behind him"- a british soldier which name i don't remember
Upham probably got a Medal Of Honor for this battle.
That's the sad reality of this society that we live in. A high percentage of cowards are in positions of authority, but when it comes down to the crunch, they would soil their pants and cry like Upham if there was every a situation like the one depicted here.

Most upsetting scene .. this is so heartbreaking
Upham was one of my favorite characters. He represented, at least to me, the human/empathetic aspect of war. He did everything he could to just be a good person to everyone, and it unfortunately lead to letting Steamboat Willie (who he thought was a friend) killing someone who WAS a friend/ally. Upham was outside perspective... Most people want to see the best in others, even when shit looks really dreary and bad. Upham was lawful good, and sometimes that bites you in the ass in a real bad way when the person you show compassion for is any degree of evil.
In real war...no one is winner...🥺
Contraversal
That German soldier let Upham know that he wasn't worth the trouble of killing.
I think this guy's career was over after playing this character because people hated him so much after this scene.
look at his imdb
@@thejamesasher I checked it before I made the comment. Its an okay career, but it's not great. I still hope it picks up. To me if you end up hating the character, then he did a great job.

He played Charles Manson and a loose cannon type character in Justified
I doubt it
That was a very good movie
The way mellish was begging felt so real.. amazing job 😞
He even considered throwing some Yiddish at his attacker, but despite its "nazi" aspect, thought better of it.
I never forgot this scene as a kid who as an adult served ... I'd hope in this situation I wouldn't even hesitate to save my countrymen

@@brandonpearson4142 Fair enough, but I disagree about it happening forever, humans are still evolving, this time it is the evolution of consciousness. Eventually it will be no longer possible for a few people to control the minds of millions.

Mellish was winning before he drew the bayonet. 😢
Then again , he did this kind of thing in every scene . He wouldn't shoot at the enemy. He had all the amo. He even said " This isn't right " to the captain when they captured the SS soldier.
A true hero.....purple heart and all that stuff ....
This scene always pissed me off
Great title btw
You and me both.
Legends say upham is still on that stair.
Probably 😢

war must be abolished. I stand with Upham
Incredible scene, Hollywood has desensitised us to the horrors of war
Mais uma prova homens frágeis não serve para guerra...
When I was a kid, I used to hate Upham. Especially when he shot the German in the end. I was be like "Now you want to shoot? Huh?".
But hen I realized that Upham wasn't trained for fight. He wasn't here for these shit. He will never be a soldier like Jackson.
The last scene he shot the German was after he saw the guy shot his captain. At the moment you can tell that something is broken inside Upham. And the look in his eyes is different. He became one of those who is desperate and numb in this war.
The wiki describes him as "the loss of innocence during a war".
The soldiers he shoots at the end is not the soldier that killed Mellish. The one he shoots at the end is steamboat Willie.
I mean if we're being honest Mellish probably should have pulled the knife before he charged in the first place.. What was he hoping to accomplish by running at him bare-handed?
They could have also called Ryan back from the front with paperwork and a phone call but when you start thinking like that you won't go to the movies.
Notice at the beginning Mellish cries out for the most badass member of the squad: Reiben.
War is hell
touching scene cowardly soldier
2:51 this is not how i remember the war?
Were you personally there?
Upham is a coward.
But thankfully he was able to redeem himself by shooting that one guy he aquatinted after he surrendered. Nothing like shooting a POW to make amends for cowardice.
How any soldier can sit there while his comrade was killed is disgusting. Unfortunately, soldiers like that still exist.
That uphem could have been us. So just be grateful.
The whole movie was waiting for this dude to get fuckin smoked but he survived. That shyt left me with a bitter taste at the end of the movie 😂
Upham makes me think of what serving along side GenZ must be like.
You will always see people fail to do a task, whoever they are. Don't single out a generation because they're different.
That’s a retarded statement
Here's some information that might help you. Nazi propaganda is a deliberate scam on the people who actually believe it as well as its more direct and obvious victims. Look at the 'blood libel' lie, for instance: a transparent excuse to murder Jews for money, and rob your own subjects in the process, for centuries before it helped facilitate the Holocaust. See how Henry III and Edward I of England shamefully monetised the case of 'Little Saint Hugh of Lincoln' and the Edict of Expulsion, respectively. Or the 2020 US Presidential election, where one blood libeller funded and ran another blood libeller's 'Independent' campaign to steal votes from his main opponent, then stole $250 million from his own supporters with a fake 'contest electoral fraud' fund.
I must say, that was pretty good acting on the dying man’s part
I hate Upham for this scene, but I understand him.
He wasn't a soldier (proved in the battle or someone who was ambiciuos for that). He represents the men who was sent to the battlefield, but they must not be there. Several thousands were on this situation.
There are some people who run to fight the fire, and there are others who run away to save themselves...
That’s the ultimate judgement…For a soldier…Ge wasn’t even worth the kill.
I'm not sure what I'd do in this situation, and I don't envy those who have experienced it.
If you saw a random guy who you have no emotional connection to trying to stab your squad mate in the chest you would kill him as most people would because it’s what most people would do. Upham wasn’t in any danger in this situation, it doesn’t require any courage for him to save his friend in this instance because he’s not risking harming himself, all he had to do is raise his rifle. That’s why this scene pisses people off so much because it makes no sense, he can either directly kill the German, or indirectly kill his friend through inaction. Either choice comes with a certain level of trauma and guilt although the second option would be worse
@@Riptor1998 Your reasoning is sound and logical and I agree that its the most likely outcome. However, I also think that we underestimate the subconscious influences on our behaviours. Many of those behaviours are geared toward protection of self and group members, perhaps even hard-wired, which is why your logic is sound. However, belief systems can provide a powerful override over such mechanisms. Accumulated stress can incapacitate an individual.
Besides all that, there a people who say "I could never kill someone", to which my response is a simple, "Perhaps its time to do some real thinking". Again, supporting your logic. But I see much criticism of the character in the comments and wonder how many have actually been in that situation and can comment with such certainty. I find myself questioning much of our existence and wonder at the source of such certainty.
It could be that I have too much time on my hands.
@@Riptor1998 "it doesnt require any courage to save his friend" - the guy on comments
In this situation, I would've also thrown my helmet at the kraut as well. Desperate times.
Fico revoltado com à covardia dessa cabo.
What a coward.
Every single German in this movie should have been played by Dolph Lundgren.
The thing about this scene is Upham is not necessarily a coward. He is most likely suffering from what I believe is called battle fatigue syndrome or perhaps called combat stress reaction. Unfortunately these things happened and unfortunately for Mellish it happened at the worst possible time. I remember watching a doco about US military battle in Afghanistan. During the battle the radio man started to suffer from battle fatigue syndrome. The commanding officer had to help him through it. Upham had nobody who could help him through the moment. It wasn’t until he saw Cap Miller shot by Steamboat Willie that he was able overcome it. No doubt if Upham was in the room when Mellish was killed he would have reacted. If Upham was coward he wouldn’t stayed on the stairs. He would ran away and hide somewhere.
I'm sorry to disagree, but a man is judged by his conduct in the WORST moments. Some men jump on the grenade, and some run. Some men step in when their friend is being accosted by a group of guys, and some guys pretend they weren't there. Upham was a coward! His only act of valor was to ERASE his FIRST act of cowardice - which was to release the prisoner that his fellow soldiers CORRECTLY predicted would rejoin a unit, and fight them again later. Nobody saw it, nobody knew about it, except Upham. It wasn't revenge - it was hiding the evidence, which cowards ALWAYS seem to find the courage to do. Saying that "if Upham was in the room" is immediately disqualified, because he was NOT "in the room", by his own choice. THEY needed him, and he didn't respond. His crying on the steps wasn't remorse - it was self-loathing... and supremely deserved. Earlier on in the movie, many people were uncomfortable by the way the rest of the unit treated Upham. He hadn't yet earned their respect. They couldn't count on him! Captain Miller was WRONG to have selected Upham for this assignment. Steamboat Willie was a coward, but he wasn't so cowardly as to not take the shot against the man who gave the order to FREE him. This represented both cowardice and corruption. He begged for mercy, and then shot the only person - including his own Government - who had decided to show him mercy. This movie showed every brand of humanity. Unfortunately - and I'm sorry to say - the Upham's are running the show right now. We are being led by cowards and weaklings. And they will EASILY let you suffer for their own immediate comfort! Fuck Upham, and fuck YOU if you even TRY to understand the character! I've had enough of the "yes, but what was he FEELING" nonsense. The average life expectancy on D-Day was something like 38 seconds. Nobody sat on their asses and cried. To insult the deaths of the thousands who perished by saying he was "battle fatigued", especially when he had never been in BATTLE, is the cuntiest thing I've maybe ever read.
@@MrBudcole well the world is safe when keyboard super heroes like you are around. Once Private Ryan was found Upham services were really no longer needed. But then he gets exposed to a situation he is not familiar with. Everyone deals with thing differently. You don’t need to be expose to combat for any amount of time to suffer some sort of combat mental health issue. I like to think I would have acted to save Mellish but I never been in that situation. As I wrote if Upham was a coward he probably he would have ran away not stay on the stairs. He would not had himself exposed when the German walk straight pass him. How am I insulting the deaths of thousands who perish? I was angry at the scene but I try to get an understanding instead of been judgment. Average life expectancy 38 secs? Either you are bad at math or you been watching to much Hollywood. Stalingrad had a life expectancy of 24 hours for a Red Army soldier and that was way more brutal than D-Day and no disrespect to the fallen at Normandy.
@@MightyRoos Did you serve?
@@MightyRoos If you did what Upham did now or then, you would be jailed for the remainder of your life, there is no time for feelings during war. What he did was pure COWARDICE!! Nobody gives a shit about what he was feeling at the time, he knew his comrade needed his help and yet he did nothing!
@@LEOGOATED Ever been in a situation like that?
A detail that I find particularly brutal is the ammo. We have multiple scenes leading to this showing the different soldiers running out, even the one that tries throwing his combat helmet as a weapon, tossing away the little defense he has in a violent act of defiance, and then we have Upham. Ammo belts around his shoulders, weapon full, unable to act
War as hell and it’s not an adventure death is not an adventure especially for those who came face-to-face with it open was probably in shock
Anyone know what the German guy is saying as he puts the knife into that guy...?
On Englisch. First: lets end this and rhen it is easier, it is easier
Something like:
Gib auf... gib auf..! (Give up... give up..!)
Du hast keine Chance. (You have no chance.)
Lass es uns beenden! (Let us end this!)
And as he plunges the knife into his chest:
Das ist einfacher für dich, viel einfacher! (This will be easier for you, much easier!)
Du wirst sehen, es ist gleich vorbei... (You'll see, it will be over soon...)
After that he "hushes him to sleep".

Western Front Static Defence (Sicherungs) Divisions were really poorly trained and less physically fit than most other field combatants. The US army only encountered these divisions during the early days of Normandy. At no point between June to July 1944 did the US actually face any properly trained infantry formations until after Operation Cobra. (Unless you include the German 6th FjD Paratroopers and 2nd SS Panzer Division Panzergrenadiers seen in this video).
Only this specific German was huge, the rest were normal sized
So that's where family guy got it from.. Zoom zoom. lmao.
And that's what happens when your trigger morale failure.
It was an Waffen SS soldier who killed Mellish not Steamboat Willie.
Not just any Waffen SS soldier, a 2nd SS Panzer Division Panzergrenadier. Which means this soldier was also likely active since the Battle of France and somehow survived Kursk in the Eastern Front as well.
@@commanderbacara225 Even if he wasn't in the battle of france, any man that could fight in the Eastern front, let alone Kursk, and live would be a terrifying enemy. The nonchalant way he goes down the stairs past upham and back to the street after slowly killing a man shows how desinsetized he was from war.
I dunno why but I never get tired of watching this part 0:34 when reiben obliterates these Germans so satisfying lol
Psychopath
The most frustrating scene ever !!!
It has that same feeling in 1917, I always think Schofield won’t make it in time but the relief I feel afterwards when he does make it is intense. Saving private Ryan almost had the same feeling
Enemies let cowards live.
Despite I feel empathy to Upham characters, I would wanted to see him get "punished".
People keep saying he is a desk guy or typer but since he is in the army, he should know that he could be put in the frontline at any given time.
I would understand his panic if he is a civvie but he is a soldier.
An office soldier but still a soldier.
Like Rambo said, "You watch my back I watch yours".
He was a typewriter he was never meant to be fighting on the frontline.
@@Jboy19916 Upham is a complete soldier since he is in the Army and got basic combat training as he stated in the movie, meaning he can brandish a firearm.
He should had expected to be thrown in the frontline if needed.
Being a typewriter doesn't excuse his cowardance.
He panicked, that's understantable but this shouldn't justifiy his actions.
Every uniform out there knows that they could be sent in the middle of the heat at any given time, whatever their role is.
It wasn't really his choice to join army, the draft was ongoing back then
When you run out of ammo you just throw your helmet to the enemy and doing some cowboy draw guns together
i like how the even the German Soldier is mentally exhausted from Hand to Hand combat - he didnt even pointed the Gun at Upham
looking into the Eyes of an Enemy while he is diying isnt something that is easily done
he knew waht he has done to Survive in this War
he was just done with fighting at this Moment - but then he went back to his Guys into the War
The SS has killed before many people
watched this in class one year and was so peeved that everyone called upham weak willed and a coward (in the way that they, my classmates, 'would've done it' as in kill the German soldier themselves if given the situation) but his job was literally just being a cartographer and translator, he was not prepared mentally nor physically for any combat so I believe it was justified for him to be so fearful and cowardice in this scene and throughout the entire movie as in he was simply not trained to have that fighting all or nothing mentality and not that he is weak.
wrong man at the right place
Every time I rewatch Saving Private Ryan, I would skip this scene.
They really should've blocked the stairs from the bottom with furniture. As soon as the guys upstairs hear someone downstairs making noise removing furniture, that should give themselves at least 1/2 minute to 2 minutes before anyone can climb up to the top. Whoever up there could've gotten a mirror, stick it on his knife with gum and look down to see if it is Upham or someone else without poking their head out just like Captain Miller did at Omaha Beach.
Ellos debían moverse constantemente con la ametralladora como gatos. Por eso Upham corría con las balas para todos lados.
Most shocking war movie scene for me.
It Happened..
