  • @Nomad-vv1gk

    Saving Pvt 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. 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.
    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."

    American policy is to make sure that multiple siblings will at least have one left during war. This is based on the part of the war where several countries lost many people. In WWII, over 80 million people (military and civilians) lost their lives. That was more than all previous wars in history combined. After WWII, even with war in the middle east and in Ukraine, we've not come close to 2% of that figure to modern day. A lot of that has to do precision weapons, but also there has been a large period of "peace" - of a sort - where conflicts have presented solutions to conflicts quicker.

    • @ptthatswhatshesaid

The poor bastard had his guts spooled out a dozen feet behind him as my grandfather and his unit were marching past. Even though my grandfather killed over 40 Germans during the war in the heat of battle, he couldn't bring himself to do it. His sergeant, thankfully, was able to put the German out of his suffering.

    I agree that it's tragic that so many died, but this was World War 2. This was not a case where each side was sacrificing lives for some leader who was only interested in power. Hitler absolutely had to be opposed and defeated. The Allies gave him every chance to avoid war, which he responded to with unprovoked attacks on his neighbors. And, of course, there was the Holocaust. I shudder to imagine what would have happened if the Allies had not fought the Nazis.
    The commanding officers would write the letters and send them back to the U.S., where they would be transcribed and sent on to the families of the dead.

    This was a really interesting reaction...it is always good hearing what folks from other cultures think and feel about this movie. I am really looking forward to more parts of the reaction.
    That opening scene was filmed at the actual American Cemetery in Normandy on the bluffs above Omaha Beach.
    6:30 There was a massive aerial bombardment of the 5 landing beaches just before the troops landed, but a large part of the US bombing was targeted very badly and missed pretty much all the fortifications it was supposed to destroy on Omaha Beach, as well as missing other targets.
    Saving Private Ryan is incredibly realistic in many ways but no, bullets cannot kill you underwater that way 4:16 they lose all of their killing power within about 3 inches of hitting water. Also, pay no mind at all to that man who took off his helmet at 8:22 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.
    Each man that died generated a report, and that report eventually made its way to the office responsible for notifying the families...if any kind of hand written letter had been sent, it would be attached to the report, and would be transcribed into type to be sent via mail or messenger. Most often, letters would be from a commanding officer, but also were often written by another soldier in the unit that knew the dead man the most. If there was no letter with the report of a man's death, then a generic message would be typed up and sent. The usual way of sending the notice of death to the family was by standard telegram, so whenever the Army sent a car to deliver it, people knew that it was NOT a standard death notification.
    D-Day was big news...reporters landed on the beaches right after the soldiers. Reports about the progress of the battle were getting back to the US and being read out as radio reports and being printed in special editions of big newspapers within 6 to 12 hours or less of events on the battlefield. Americans heard about how the US paratroopers had such a hard time with their paradrops, and about how tough things were on Omaha Beach and in other places very very quickly. The Allies had spent years preparing, and secrecy was important, but the Allied press cooperated with the military to help keep the specifics of the invasion secret, and in return the Allies gave the press a lot of access to report about the invasion.💯✌

      That's some great information. If this were Reddit, you'd have hundreds of upvotes by now. Are you a history teacher or just very knowledgeable about this subject? FYI, my grandfather was there on D-Day, although I don't think he was at Omaha Beach. He was a radio operator, so the trucks he was in were usually targets. I don't remember too many specifics, as it had never occurred to me to ask him about his service, but that little bit I did hear was from my dad asking him. I do regret not learning more from him.

I'm proud of my father who went into the Navy only 5 months before Pearl Harbor, he was there also and had just turned 18 one month before. that attack. We were taught commitment to prayer, family and country. was taught Love of God, Family and country, to be thankful for America and the sacrifices our military made for the freedom of other people in other countries from hitler. We didn't have to but we chose to. John 10:13 Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends. And Yes prayer is more powerful than Anything on earth.

    I must have watched every reaction to Private Ryan over the past years--many, many reactions. And those reactions were by people from across the globe, especially Europe. However, I have never seen anyone watch this film and show such cold, clinical detachment. I've also lived in Europe and in Japan and in Korea. I've learned about, respected, and adapted to a variety of cultures. This woman's boyfriend explains that she laughs as some sort of emotional release. Really? I'd like to be there when she laughs as her child dies with their last breath. I'd like to see her laugh as her mother dies a very painful death. No, I am not buying it. Sure, there are cultural differences, but in my book this woman's reaction is not it. Even if we disagree about her laughing, there are innumerable scenes in the movie where almost every single other viewer has "lost it". But not this woman. No, I found her reaction so soulless and cool as to be unnerving. I finally could not stand the dichotomy of me sitting here and being brought to tears and her sitting there and talking like she is dissecting a frog in biology class. Could no longer watch her in this video.
