  • Hey All! Anna has not seen this film before this reaction, however this is my favorite film of all time, and I've seen it countless times. This was her first reaction video ever, and she took it pretty hard. She deserves kudos for sitting through this one!
    This video is purely for commentary purposes, and is NOT a replacement for the original film. In fact, this is a poor replacement for the film, as there is plenty of voice over and plenty of screen blackouts. Please go watch the film if you have not seen it.

      Upham job is called Ammo Bearer or as well call it in the infantry “ammo b**ch” he just has to bring people extra ammo when they run out. Usually that is your role as a new comer into the platoon. Soon after you become a rifleman or whatever else.

    Captain Miller’s shaking hand is due to PTSD. His nerves are completely shot so he gets those tremors whenever he’s not in action. They only seem to disappear when he’s in combat. Also Miller gets these moments of shell shock whenever he gets knocked to the ground by an explosion. The sound gets muffled like he’s hearing everything through a sea shell and he also gets discombobulated for a bit before reality comes rushing in to bring him back into the moment.

    Sir, I, like you, am a veteran who is proud to have served, although with the British Special Forces. A few years ago I, along with a group of fellow veterans, visited the Normandy battlefields and we made a point of going to the American cemetery near Omaha Beach (where the opening and closing scenes of this movie were shot and where over 2000 of your brave young countrymen lie in peace). We each placed a flower upon the grave of a soldier who we will never know, but who's bravery and sacrifice we will never forget. Thank you for your service, my friend.

    The story of Private Ryan is inspired by the Sullivan brothers (who are mentioned in the movie, in the telegram scene). There were five of them: George, Frank, Joe, Matt, and Al, from Waterloo, Iowa. George and Frank, the oldest brothers, had served in the Navy in the 1930s, and after Pearl Harbor, they re-enlisted along with the younger three, on the condition that they serve together. They were assigned to the light cruiser USS _Juneau,_ and all five were killed when the ship was sunk in the Naval Battle of Guadalcanal, in November 1942. The US Navy named two ships USS _The Sullivans_ in their honor: a _Fletcher_-class destroyer (DD-537) in 1943 (decommissioned 1965), and an _Arleigh Burke_-class guided missile destroyer (DDG-68) in 1995 (which is still in service). The ships' official motto is "We stick together."

      The story is actually about the Niland brothers. The one they said died in the Pacific actually survived and returned home as well. In the opening scenes at the cemetery, there was a man dressed in American Legion uniform acting as a guide for the cemetery, even though he had no lines - He is the real Private Ryan.

    In the last scene, most people miss the life where Ryan’s wife reads CPT Miller’s name with a tone indicating that she had never heard that name before. In three words, she is telling us that in all of their years together, her husband never told her the story or mentioned Miller. Instead, her husband suffered alone quietly with that memory, one so painful that he never shared it with her.
    BTW, bring Anna back for “Schindler’s List” (despite what she said about watching it) and “Band of Brothers”. She will love them if she hasn’t seen them before.

    10:59 When I was a junior officer in Ft. Polk, LA. doing some training, fresh out of BOLC (Basic Officer Leader Course), my company was arti-sim'd and attacked (simulated) in the middle of the night. Even though we won the fight, myself and my fellow Lieutenants (from the rest of the battalion), lost a good portion of our troops in each of our platoons. After our "after actions brief", my company commander quietly ordered the PLs, senior NCOs and command staff to write letters for the families of our "simulated" dead... before the rest of the battalion got involved and made a big show of it... writing those letters was quite the surreal experience, even though it wasn't real, it stuck with me throughout my career.
    Note: we just wrote letters and simulated mailing them. We didn't want to freak out the families during our FTX.

      @@Yeedeed I get that it was hard for your girl to watch this, but I'm glad she did. Like history books, historical movies with this level of realism can be very important as reminders for average citizens. People say "never again" but easily forget WHY. And people forget all the time all around us. Just look at Putin invading the Ukraine right now and Bush invading Iraq not long ago. If we don't constantly truly remind ourselves what war looks like up close, your girl might not support aggression and invasion, but your kids, grandkids, great grandkids, etc. can all find themselves easily facing this reality. It's ugly, but don't let emotion make you look away. War is happening all over right now. Face it at least sometimes.

    What better pair than a veteran and an English teacher to react to SPR. It was like watching the two inner halves of Capt. Miller experience the same events. Great reaction, guys.
    To Anna: Good job for hanging in there. SPR is a very tough watch, but hopefully it gives you an appreciation of what veterans like Mike, your grandfather, and others have gone through. On that note, I would gently encourage you to watch Schindler's List too. Evil exists in the world, and while I understand not wanting to voluntarily subject yourself to a harrowing experience, if you don't know what it looked like, not knowing is the fastest way to let that evil reoccur in the present-day. Like you said, SPR makes you think twice about sending your kids off to war. SPR, Schindler's List, and other historical dramas are important because it informs our future decisions. Again, thank you for hanging in there and sharing your experience with the rest of us.
    To Mike: Hello from a South Korean (conscript) veteran. Always happy to see someone share my somber love for the movie (SPR is my favorite too). I know it must have been tough for you to patiently and quietly watch with Anna and let her experience the movie without talking too much. Just a few suggestions for improving future reactions: 1) Sharing what you, Anna, or both know about a movie that you HAVEN'T seen yet before hitting play would be a great way to begin a reaction for us and both of you (if you've seen it, obviously, don't spoil things); 2) Keep up not spoiling anything and, if you can, be even quieter during reactions to movies you've already seen (I know, it's hard). You might wanna take a look at how Daniel and Samantha over at TBR Schmitt do things these days, just as an example. Great how you included so much of your reaction, though. Really appreciate it.
    About Upham, I understand your frustration with him, but as veterans who haven't experienced frontline combat, I doubt we can pass judgment on him with any degree of moral superiority. But maybe I'm soft on him because I was a desk-jockey translator like him. Who knows what we'll do in actual combat: freeze or help?
    Thanks again for the great reaction and I hope you can gently coax Anna into watching Schindler's List and other dramas with you in the future!

    Maybe I misunderstood what you said, but just in case: the German soldier Upham killed was not the soldier who killed Melish. Rather, he was the soldier that they released [blinded folded] earlier, after taking the machine gun nest - - and Upham saw he shot the "kill shot" at the Captain, who ironically, spared his life.

    Ya'll should do a reaction to Band of Brothers, the 10-part miniseries that Tom Hanks and Spielberg did right after this movie. It tells the real story of Easy company of the 506, 101st airborne division (which is the fictional private Ryan's company). Everything in the series (with 1 or 2 exceptions) is based on real events and real people, down to the dialogue at some points). And it has the real veterans talking at the start of each episode (without revealing their names, which you only learn in the last episode so you don't know which of the characters makes it to the end). It's quite simply a MASTERPIECE

    When i saw this movie, previous war movies were all about glorifying war, and yeah there is glory in figthing tirany, figthing for freedom, and honor and the acts of heroism but, they romanticised war, alone came this movie..... and totally broke the shit out of everyone, this didnt seem heroic, this didnt seem uplifting, or men singing while marching, it was gritty, brutal, caothinc, violent and unforgiving, the word was not ready for this movie, and thou it is patriotic, and was acused of being a "pro war" movie, this was the most anti war movie i have ever seen, they show you what real war was, what real men and wome suffered trought it, people at the cinema left in distress, most of us were shocked, unable to make a moevement or put our sight elsewere, my mother had a tachicardia and had a sentiment i know now was anxiety and stress, reports of veterans leaving the theather in episodes of ptsd, some guy said he could even feel as he was smealing the diesel of the landing crafts, could you imagine that??? this movie told us, yes, sometime wars have the be fought for the right reason, that doesnt make it good, this are the consequences of starting a war and our youngest pay for them in blood.....

    Enfilade is when you can fire down the length of a unit, like what Fury did against that column of infantry at the beginning of the battle of the cross roads.

    Finally, a review from someone who knows what's going on. Civilians still think there are rules in battle. NOPE. When the car pulls up to the mother's house and she collapses, in my opinion is the best scene in the movie.

    probably not a big deal to most ppl but a pet peeve of mine is when ppl watch movies with one earbud in. you're not getting the full cinematic experience. it's like watching a great movie on an ipod. or if you're a music fan, listening to a great band through your phone speakers. it's just not the way the creators would want you to experience the stuff they've made

    Really great reaction...and I really like the notes flashed on screen that you add in the edit, it saved me a lot of typing answering stuff you already knew. LOL
    Saving Private Ryan is incredibly realistic in most every way, with a very few exceptions...for instance, bullets cannot kill you underwater that way 3:38 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 6:40 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.
    12:50 Mrs. Ryan knew something very very bad had happened when she saw that the Army had sent a car and that they had brought her local Pastor or Priest with them. Standard process for notification of death was a telegram, so a car with her Pastor was very bad news and she knew it as soon as she saw the official car coming up the drive. 💯✌

    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 killed him.
    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 really was a USS Sullivans(DD 68) dedicated to the brothers lost on one ship. That's why all brother soldiers/sailors from one family can't be assigned to the same command.
    5. I did 24 years in the US Navy. My favorite character is Private Jackson/sniper, and my second favorite is Sargent Horvath.
    6. You BOTH need to do the GOAT that also stars Tom Hanks and Private Jackson/Barry Pepper. You WILL CRY😭😭

    Saving Private Ryan is a very profound movie but when you watch this movie for the first time all you see is the horror of war and that drags you to the end. However when you watch this movie for a 2nd or 3rd time as hard as that mightn't seam you begin to see the profound nature of what this movie is actually saying. Trust me you will see thoughts things if you can see past the horror of the war.
