    Hey 👋🏻 i had this video up without titles on it for 6 months with no problems and a couple of days ago it was blocked 🚫 randomly 🤷🏼‍♀️ so I have re-uploaded it here with titles. If you want to see it without titles I have put it on patreon for all tiers, however I am still waiting for a response to my appeal so I’m hoping the block will be removed very soon and I can just have that available here again. In the meantime here it is, for anybody out there who would like to see my reaction to this amazing movie. Please consider when watching this was an older video where I wasn’t as skilled in filming, audio or editing (still not great 😂) so you don’t need to tell me - I know 😉
    Hope you enjoy watching! ❤️

      I always enjoy your reactions to the movies you watch. Omaha Beach was called Bloody Omaha by the men who fought there. People who have never experienced combat cannot imagine what it's like. I, for one, have thanked God I never had the misfortune to see people die and receive the horrible wounds of battle. I was of the Vietnam war generation but was not drafted due to a very high draft number. I did know people who went from my high school class (some didn't come back), including my best friend and hunting buddy. He did 2 tours of duty in Vietnam as a combat Marine. He died in 97, a victim of Agent Orange. My father and father-in-law both served in WW2, while my wife's uncle was wounded in Korea. All of these men barely spoke of their experiences which speaks volumes about what they saw. All this brings me to a thought I had about your reactions to war movies that could put you head and shoulders above all the other people reacting to the same movies. Some background knowledge about the war your movie selection is covering could add to your responses, especially when it comes to the most misunderstood war, Vietnam. There are some great resources available that are free, educational, entertaining, and don't require a lot of time. VloggingThroughHistory has just put up a 2 part review of the Vietnam war. Just do a web search titled VloggingThroughHistory, The Vietnam War. For other historical events Oversimplified covers a varied of topics, from the reign of King Henry 8th to the US Civil War to the Russian Revolution to the War of the Bucket. Oversimplified is just one of the podcasts that are in cartoon form but historically accurate. This is all just a thought for you to consider. May your channel continue to grow.

    The first time I watched this movie was at the base theater in Spangdahlem AB Germany. If you've ever gone to a theater with a bunch of young military folks, you'd know that usually they'll be laughing and pointing out the mistakes in the movie. In this case, however, when that ramp went down on that LCI, you could've heard a pin drop. All through the rest of the movie, not a sound was to be had from the audience, and that was the only time I've walked out of a theater, and no one said a word.

    The opening scene Ryan goes to the grave of his brother, at the end he's at the grave of Capt. Miller's grave. His family is directly behind him at the first grave site, at the end, his family remains at a respectful distance, except for his wife who has no idea who Miller is. Ryan went home and never told anyone about that day in Ramell. The opening scene Ryan goes to the grave of his brother, at the end he's at the grave of Capt. Miller's grave.

    Spielberg researched small details, for instance, Pvt Jackson's right thumb has a black mark on it. That's actually a bruise that many U. S. riflemen had caused from getting their thumb caught in the loading mechanism from not locking the bolt back properly when loading/reloading the M1 Garand rifle. It was called "Garand thumb".
    The Hitler Youth Knife is more literary liberty than fact. That knife is a hiking knife given to members of the Hitler Youth Corps, which was much like the Boy Scouts in training while being indoctrinated with the ideology of National Socialist German Workers Party (Nazi). The only other group they were issued to were members of the SA. This knife was never part of a soldier of the Wehrmacht. As for the reaction of Carparzo and Mellish, it is highly unlikely an average G.I. would have known what that knife was and its symbolism. The matter of Mellish crying is also not likely as the Allies didn't find out about the fate of Jews in Europe until the first concentration camp was liberated April 4, 1945. The war in Europe ended May 7, 1945. So, following the real timeline, Mellish dies before the Allies knew anything about concentration and death camps. But, after-all, it is Hollywood.
    Saving Private Ryan is not based on the Sullivan brothers. Fritz Niland became the basis for Private Ryan. He was dropped behind enemy lines on D-Day and spent five days in the French countryside, eventually earning a Bronze star in combat for taking a French. Robert Rodat first came up with the plot in 1994 when he saw a monument in a cemetery in Tonawanda, New York. The monument was to the Niland Brothers - 4 young American men who fought in the Second World War. When three of the Nilands were reported killed, the surviving brother - Fritz - was sent home. This inspired Rodat to write his movie. The average age of a U. S. troops armed forces personnel during WW II was 26 years old. Selective Service draft age range was 18 years of age to 45 years. The average age in Vietnam War was 22, not 19 as any think.
    There are 26 military cemeteries across Normandy, but the most famous and visited site is the poignant Normandy American Cemetery in Colleville-sur-Mer. The Normandy American Cemetery and Memorial in France is located in Colleville-sur-Mer, on the site of the temporary American St. Laurent Cemetery, established by the U.S. First Army on June 8, 1944 as the first American cemetery on European soil in World War II. The cemetery site, at the north end of its half mile access road, covers 172.5 acres and contains the graves of 9,387 of our military dead, most of whom lost their lives in the D-Day landings and ensuing operations. In real life with the Nilands, it actually turned out later that another of the brothers was alive - he’d been held captive in a Burmese POW camp. Attempts to point out the "discrepancies" between the stories of Fritz Niland and James Ryan are often misguided, as Ryan is only based on Niland, and is not meant to be (or claimed to be) a completely accurate representation of him. The differences in the two stories seem to stem in part from the fact that the true story of Sergeant Niland and his brothers is often reported inaccurately. The character of Private James Ryan is a mixture of fact and fiction, with some of the fictional elements coming from the erroneous stories about the Niland brothers.
    The German credited as "Steamboat Willie" who was released by Capt. Miller is not the German who engaged and killed Pvt Stanley "Fish Mellish during hand-to-hand combat. "Steamboat Willie" was in the Heer (Army) of the Wehrmacht and the other was in the Waffen SS which was a paramilitary organization and not part of the Wehrmacht. Originally, the SS uniform differed from the Wehrmacht uniform-whereas the regular army wore field grey, the SS wore black, head to toe (although later the SS did adopt field grey and often wore camouflage pattern uniform. American troops were brown and they didn't wear jackboots. The lightning bolt SS insignia can be seen on the right collar lapel of the German as he passes Upham and reaches the bottom of the staircase. During the Battle at Ramelle, Upham became shell shocked and was unable to save a .30 cal team from a German soldier because he was too frozen with fear to do anything about it. He carried all the .30 caliber ammo at the battle of Ramelle, but was unable to do his job because he was always either pinned down or too afraid to move. He signified the loss of innocence in war and thought that soldiers could be civil, but he later succumbed to the evils of war and made up for his cowardice when he shot Steamboat Willie for killing Miller even after the latter had shown Willie mercy earlier.
    Not only did Upham represent the loss of innocence of war but he also symbolized the "Every-man". His illusion of neutrality faded when he finally had to pick and side and kill Steamboat Willie, his character revelation being how he finally understood the horrors of war. It became clear that Upham had turned into a hardened and true soldier because of the whole experience. Upham's rank was Tech 5 Corporal (E-5), that meant he was technician in a specialty area. His was maps and translator, he was not a combat infantryman and was never trained for front-line duty. Gunnery Sergent Hartman explained it this way in the movie Full Metal Jacket: "It is your killer instinct which must be harnessed if you expect to survive in combat. Your rifle is only a tool. It is a hard heart that kills. If your killer instincts are not clean and strong you will hesitate at the moment of truth. You will not kill.
    "The way the next of kin was notified of their loved one was killed in action during WW II was by Western Union telegram delivered by a bicycle riding messenger. If you were being notified of multiple deaths as was the case in this film, notification was done in-person by a military officer, usually from the same branch of service as the deceased when possible. That's why the mother upon seeing the officer exit the car momentarily froze knowing that meant at least 2 of her boys were either KIA or MIA, as the priest exits the car, she staggers and completely collapsed. Unfortunately, you didn't include that in your video presentation. That is one of the most important scenes in the movie. The mother speaks no lines in the movie, yet her breakdown brought a flood of tears form movie goers in theaters across the nation. Another important scene is it is clear from the few lines Ryan's wife speaks that she has never heard the name of Capt. John Miller, this means John has never spoken to her about what happened that day in Ramelle. What many missed is listening to Ryan speaking at the Miller's grave of how he thought about what those 8 men did for him every day was not guilt, but commitment.
    There are units assigned to recover, bury and mark graves. Usually these were temporary battlefield cemeteries. As hostilities moved farther away, a more permanent site would be selected, at the family's request, whenever possible, the remains would be returned to the United States. At the Normandy Cemetery Visitors Center, you'll find the following inscription: IF EVER PROOF WERE NEEDED THAT WE FOUGHT FOR A CAUSE AND NOT FOR CONQUEST, IT COULD BE FOUND IN THESE CEMETERIES. HERE WAS OUR ONLY CONQUEST: ALL WE ASKED … WAS ENOUGH … SOIL IN WHICH TO BURY OUR GALLANT DEAD.General Mark W. ClarkChairman, American Battle Monuments Commission, 1969-1984

    1. Many WWII vets left the theaters because the D-Day battle scenes were so realistic.
    2. Miller displayed great leadership/management skills by deescalating the Horvath and Risen standoff.
    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.

    Well, now you know where Band of Brothers came from. "There's some Kraut 88's up ahead and my guess is they're doing some terrible damage." Now you see why Easy Company had to take out those guns. Spielberg was brilliant in trolling us with the eye fade between thinking Ryan was Miller in the beginning There is so much to be said and details to point out, but this masterpiece speaks for itself. Spielberg and Hanks were just getting started. Brilliant deadly poetry in motion. The sound of the Panzers approaching is still chilling. Beyond tension...
    As intense and epic this is with all of the battle scenes and explosions are. The hardest part of the film for me is the knife fight, when he is pleading for reasoning. It just hits differently, more intimately. Goes to the show the senselessness of War to begin with...FUBAR.

    Saving Private Ryan
    YES! THIS is the right movie!!!
    After Vietnam, America transformed into a country whose military became one of … professional soldiers. Drafts were discontinued … in favor of an all volunteer force. Only about 3% of Americans had ever served in the military. This may be the reason for the lack of empathy toward veterans and wars, itself.”
    I would call upon you, and everyone, to not just “watch” a combat-accurate movie …. but, to watch it while considering yourselves as unseen soldiers that are THERE, experiencing the occurrences along with your fellow soldiers, friends. Great every Veterans Day, Memorial Day.
    This movie is a fictional film of WWII’s D-Day invasion … in which three of four brothers are KIA (killed in action) and a squad / platoon (8 men) search for the remaining live brother.
    D-Day remains the LARGEST amphibious invasion in history … the transfer of 39 divisions (22 American), over 1 million soldiers to Normandy France.
    The Allies began their invasion at 6:30am and and finally repelled the Germans by days end … at a cost of more than 10,000 KIA & MIAs. That would LITERALLY BE staring at death and bloodshed EVERYWHERE …. one could look nowhere that was absent its brutality!
    American soldiers that survived the first day’s invasion attested to the films’, accuracy in the nature & brutality of combat.
    A slightly unknown factoid is that German machine gunner that was depicted firing down onto Americans landing at Dog-1 Omaha Beach … massacring them before they could even get off their LST. That machine gunner identified himself well after the war as Heinrich Severloh, an 18 year old son of a farmer, that was conscripted by the Germans. Heinrich admitted that he believed he killed more Americans in a single day than any other soldier … more than 1000, possibly over 2000 … and for the rest of his life, the nightmares would never stop! Soldiers on both sides would have to eventually unpack & deal with all of their horrors …. secreted away for later, more convenient times for reflections.
    Another surreal oddity was the character of the typist Upham …. his character oddly reflects the character of our nation …. America. From 1937, years before America was attacked at Pearl Harbor (and beyond) …. America sat back, failing to act as Germany began exterminating 6MILLION men, women, children, and elders because of their race, using them as reasons for German failings …. We sat back, refusing to involve ourselves in Europe’s ‘Problem’ …. while Germany invaded and overwhelmed every other country except England. We finally pulled ourselves together and entered the combat! In combat, EVERY man (boys 17-20) reacts differently …. assimilates combat differently …. but, EVERYONE is afraid! We all lock our horrors away in the recesses of our minds …. only later to have to deal with them again!
    Back to SAVING PRIVATE RYAN, I would hope that you & EVERY American would sit down a day or two before every Memorial Day & Veterans Day and rewatch this film (or, Hacksaw Ridge). But, next time rejoin the film, mentally doing so AS AN UNSEEN MEMBER OF THE SQUAD … to mentally & emotionally connect to the other soldiers as friends, buddies … hopefully, to understand all of the veterans combat problems. America, the people (the 97% never experiencing war, are now highly insulated from soldiers / veterans … stunned into remembering the wounded, maimed & dead … but seem to never comprehend those with invisible wounds … those that returned with PTSD, the veterans that choose to be homeless because feel they don’t deserve to continue living a good life, those 22 that are committing suicides every day.
    This movie was produced loosely on a true story and several similar situations. I’m not seeking compassion … rather a realistic understanding of WHY we returned as we did! Even though we got back to family & loved ones. They only recognized our shell, but found strangers with in. Some of us got back … but, not really, not completely! Others couldn’t accept the peaceful life, their friends couldn’t return to … and chose life on the streets as self-punishment.
    Movie done, how did you make it??? How’s that ‘assimilating combat’ and ‘survival guilt’ working for you?
    Not so good for me and others, either!!!

    From your comment I get the feeling you had no idea the significance of the date and place June 6, 1944, Omaha Beach. This was D-Day, Operation Overlord, the allied invasion of German occupied France. It was the largest amphibious assault in the history of warfare. The D-Day operation of June 6, 1944, brought together the land, air, and sea forces of the allied armies in what became known as the largest amphibious invasion in military history. The operation, given the code-name OVERLORD, delivered five naval assault divisions to the beaches of Normandy, France. The beaches were given the code names UTAH, OMAHA, GOLD, JUNO, and SWORD. The invasion force included 7,000 ships and landing craft manned by over 195,000 naval personnel from eight allied countries. Almost 133,000 troops from the United States, the British Commonwealth, and their allies, landed on D-Day. Casualties from these countries during the landing numbered 10,300. By June 30, over 850,000 men, 148,000 vehicles, and 570,000 tons of supplies had landed on the Normandy shores. Fighting by the brave soldiers, sailors, and airmen of the allied forces western front, and Russian forces on the eastern front, led to the defeat of German Nazi forces. On May 7, 1945, German General Alfred Jodl signed an unconditional surrender at Reims, France.

    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 5:26 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.

    The Omaha beach scene, though exceptionally well done, is not consistent. When Captain Miller is looking around at the chaos with blood in his helmet its low tide. In the very next shot the water is up to his chest. Lol.

    Do to how well this movie did Hanks & Spielberg were able to do Band of Brothers , NOW they got the idea for this movie from the book "Band of Brothers " as 2 troopers from Easy Company (E/506th PIR) knew and meet up while on leave in London with fred & Bob Nidland Bob was in the 82nd and had already been in combat so they asked him alot about that. Fred was in the 501st PIR in the 101st Airborne they had 2 other brothers Edward listed as a POW in Burma when his plane was shot down / Preston was in the the 4th ID and was killed June 7th 1944 in Normandy / Bob was also KIA June 6 1944 while manning his MG while covering his company as the fell back. Fred jumped and fought in Normandy but was pulled out after he visited the 82nd camp looking for his brother and sent stateside serving as a MP till the end of the war. so this isn't a true event aside from the opening scene which has some errors the landing craft crews were British and if i remember right there was no big Bunker on that section of beach.

    Great reaction!!!! I highly suggest 2 movies based on actual events. The first is Lone Survivor and the 2nd is 13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi.

    The combat engineers, who used the banglors, cleared a way thru the beach. They had flags to show where it was safe. They knew they were dying, so they stuck the flags in their legs to show the way.ESSAYONS.

      Bangalore torpedos. Named after Bangalore India, where they were first used by the Royal Army. Never heard that "they knew they were dying" flag story. It seems improbable--what's your source?

    Always worth remembering those men died for a continent that wasn't even theirs to fix problems they didn't cause. They were just young boys living their lives, or like Miller a schoolteacher who only wanted to teach his classes, coach baseball, and be with his wife. Then some people said, "You have to go fight for this continent you never lived on," and they went and did it.
    The movie shows their courage and determination, but it also shows the insanity of fighting someone else's war. There's nothing glorious about dying on a foreign beach or in a foreign field and depriving your family of a loved one for the sake of some family who should be doing the fighting themselves if they want freedom. And if not, that's their choice.

      Minor correction...the American, British and Canadian cemeteries are all separate. The Normandy American Cemetery and Memorial is in Coleville-sur-Mer, the largest cemetery for the Commonwealth (British) is in Bayeux, and the Canadian War Cemetery in Normandy is in Beny-sur-Mer.

    You should watch the film Fury. It's more stylized whereas this is more docustyle with the shaky cam to make you feel in it, but both are just as gritty and raw. And I might be biased, but I think Fury is a better film than this despite the fact that this film is unanimously paraded as the best war film ever made. I just feel like this film paints a picture of hope with regards for war, like maybe something good can come from it. Fury paints a more realistic picture that no matter what "good" comes out of war, it's never worth it. No one ever wins, and everyone always loses.

      Hi thanks for watching, this was an older video I made over 6 months ago it was recently blocked worldwide by RUclips and so instead of losing my content I re-uploaded it with titles. Please check out some of my more recent content and you will see I have learnt a lot since then ☺️ I started out just like anyone with little knowledge & skill and kept at it (still learning) and unlike some bigger reaction channels I cannot afford to pay an editor or get help 🤣
      If you watch my band of brothers reactions you’ll see my first episode isn’t great but I progressively get better 👍🏻✨
      Hopefully you will give me a chance ☺️
