Paulo Henrique paulo you just don’t get it do you, home is not laying in your couch drinking a beer, its beeing in peace with your self. A lot if soldiers come back from War but its stil going on in their minds, until it consumes then one day. Only people who don’t have problems after the wars are psychopaths.
Heidenriech No man...If you want to be moral saint, then you should’t, in any case, be envolved in a war. War is fight, it is about killing. Or you don’t have problem with killing, or you are not a soldier. If you go to war to kill only in necessary situation, for self-defence, or for being ordered, then you are lying to yourself, and your morals will kill you when you get home.
TheSADHU88 A soldier always will be in peace with themselves for killing enemy. Soldier is a killer. I know soldiers, man who already killed, who executed people, and they are very fine with that, they even like it. It is their job: kill the enemy. But you people filled your army with pawns, with workers, students, people who don’t have guts or spirit for war, then you must keep this charade of “moral war” or “legitimate war”, as if the soldier did nothing wrong in war when they did, so he goes home and find a job and live as a civil peasant again. It doen’t work like that. When you kill, you taste blood, and can’t be civil and good guy anymore. So, as I said: the Captain speech was just bulshit. He was weak for not kill the prisoner, the man who would return to fight and kill more of his companions. He was not a soldier, he was just a teacher.
0:00-0:54 - To me that is a deep part in this scene. I like how Cpt Miller secluded himself from his squad. Because, he doesn't want to look weak and vulnerable to his men even if his mistakes cost him. But his mistakes was his ultimate teacher, which later in the movie made him a better captain. Even the greatest of leaders made mistakes.
@@newworld6517 Very hard, put yourself in that world and learn who what where and when. (Sorry no comma's) and then listen to him - hardest thing in acting
Reiben is a really underrated character. He may seem like a total asshole in this scene, but in reality, he's both a little scared for his own life, and worried he'll witness all of his comrades die. He had already sat through Wade's death and wanted to killed Steamboat Willie purely for that reason. He felt betrayed when they allowed him to live, and wanted to leave under the concept of losing more allies, or Willie coming back to be a threat again later. Ultimately, I'm pretty glad he survived in the end, because as rude as he seemed, he deserved it.
I related to Reiben a lot in this scene I couldn’t imagine losing someone close to me in a pointless engagement and being expected to fall in after that it takes so much to just move out once you realize your squad just gets smaller and smaller until it’s just you left
@@Birlibi4 This may come as a shock, but that's not Ben Affleck as Reiben... I just found out it's actually Edward Burns, yet I've spent 20 years thinking that was Ben... Lmfao.
House OfD He does, you're thinking of the SS guy who stabs Maelish, people often get him mixed up for this guy. He is there right at the end and shoots Cpt. Miller, then he speaks to Upham and Upham shoots him.
ITS THE SAME PERSON - HOW WOULD A RANDOM SS DUDE KNOW THAT PARTICULAR US SOLDIERS NAME WAS UPHAM? THERE WERE MANY INSTANCES OF WEHRMACHT WEARING SS TUNICS DUE TO SUPPLY ISSUES.
and spielberg included this scene to show the "dishonour" of the german soldier.. it was on purpose and its dirty american propaganda to stigmatise the enemy -.-
i would imagine after the landings at Omaha, fighting in the Bocage for a few days, not having enough proper sleep and tasty food while walking through the rains, losing some of your best friends in the process strips you of any patience or empathy for the enemy. Idealism and philosophical thought are privileges of the well fed and well rested
So a german soldier who lost comrades to partisans is justified to shoot civilians who probably work together with partisans? The german soldier is desperate of war and also lost empathy... just like these americans here? To understand doesn't mean to forgive. That's why these americans are not better than germans who shoot prisoners
Nope but in both scenarios, they are stripped of their patience and bearings, all the morals and ethics go out the window, they cant be bothered to care anymore so they did it anyway. That's why war is bad
Yeah. Your are right. War is the worst thing that can happen to people. I'm happy that you can look very neutral about it. The one side doesnt consist of heros and the other side doesnt consist of evil soldiers. They are all the same. Just humans. And that is why war should never happen. Humans doing horrible things to each other, they had never dreamed of before.
indeed brother and yet there are some nutcases here say today men should tough up and put to the test. this is not a test this is a torture chamber or hell itself. no one should experience it...yeah am a coward call me that you know why because most the "BRAVE" men are dead and the rest are mentally deranged by now or scarred for life.
I still find it sad how Captain Miller is an English Teacher and coach of a baseball team and he had to fight in a war away from his wife, and when he dies just thinking about hearing the news if you were a student hearing your teacher died or that your coach died and even sad thing is he died when he has a wife and you don't see what she feels about that or see her reaction. Just my though
Odds are he choose to fight, in most cases teachers were given deferments if they were drafted. Odds are he volunteered... But then again its just a movie. My grandpa was drafted after he graduated college in 42' and it was funny to him because he enlisted the day after graduation he received a draft notice 2 weeks after he enlisted...
A lot of people hate Upham, but when I first watched this movie I actually agree with him. I agreed with the whole moral that it was wrong to shoot a defenseless enemy that was just doing his job as a soldier. A lot of ppl hate him, because they don't understand his perspective. On Omaha he wasn't a frontline soldier. He was in the rear, working as a translator. He didn't serve in North Africa with the rest. He had zero combat experience. Of course he wouldn't understand the value of killing a POW over releasing him. And for the same reason, he wouldn't understand why that same soldier could kill his defenseless captain. It's unfortunate that it got his friends and fellow soldiers killed, but he had to learn what everyone else already knew. It's what makes him a realistic and good character.
@@williambriggs4574 It’s a horrible business especially watching the guy try to beg for his life in a language he doesn’t speak, but surely letting him go wasn’t the right decision because of the possibility he would be found first by his comrades and then thrown back into the fight and cost more allied lives? It’s a tricky one I don’t know what I would do in that situation.
The Germans did kill an unarmed medic, and their friend. Right or wrong, it's hard not to have those kind of emotions. Upham didn't have any relationship with Wade.
A nifty little detail that I think a lot of people forget or miss entirely is that quip from Reiben about how it was "the decent thing to do" by letting him go, basically accusing Miller of contradicting himself when he said they're not there to do the decent thing when Caparzo was trying to take the kids back in the town.
The argument scene, the shouting, the anger, the emotional outbursts, the crying. It's because of the living nightmare they're going through, the nightmare known as war. I totally understand that. People die in it. Sometimes they die horribly. With this scene, I can see what's going on. One guy desperately wants to do something, another guy desperately wants out. It's the horrible situation they're in. I'd feel and act similar, had I been in WW2. It's not for people like me. These soldiers were just unlucky to experience the hell that they did at that era. God bless these guys.
When I was little and first saw this movie, I used to hate Upham for being such a naive coward. That hatred turned to empathy as I grew up and began to see him with an understanding that, he's just like us. If we were to be put in similar situation and circumstances, who are we kidding thinking we would jump right in and become some desensitized warmachine of a soldier depicted in fake ass hollywood war/action movies. We won't. It was quite sad to see his ideologies and attempts at keeping civilized integrity as decent human beings went away when he saw and shot that same POW upon finally realizing the madness of the setting he finds himself in. That blank expressionless face gave me a whole new perception to the character.
When i saw the movie the first time as a kid, i hated him for being a pussy and a coward. Seeing it now, as a 23 year old, i still hate him. Now it's more for being stupid idiot. It's war. Upham does not understand war. All the other guys of the squad understood war. Understood what the most logical solution was. Upham had no idea what he was talking about, and still he thought, that he was the one to decide what the best solution was.
Gabriel Salyer You're exactly right in saying he shouldn't have been there. Neither were any of those millions of men, women and children who found themselves in that chaotic mess that didn't have to happen at all to begin with. It's easy to say he's this and that when we as an audience are watching something fictional happening in a screen, well away from reality; OUR reality. Put in similar situations, everyone's prone to giving in to fear and a sense of extreme vulnerability like the one you saw from Upham. This doesn't make Upham a coward but rather merely a man still comparably less desensitized/traumatized by the brutality of war-nothing more, nothing less
+shyadeny hes definitely a coward. why do we have to employ apologetics for such things? all though id argue we arent sure if he was one at the end. it made it seem like he finally got over it and pulled the trigger. he may have lost some of his humanity but it could also be taken as him realizing that his ideals cant survive such things. but for most of the movie he was a coward. this is shown when instead of firing at the germans using jackson's sniper rifle, he takes the scope off and watches as wade gets shot. the germans getting away scott free under his cross hairs.
It doesn't matter what he was thinking, he WAS the enemy. In spite of this, he was let go and KILLED two men. However, in the end, Upham showed the right courage and shot that German soldier down. Overall, a very good portrayal of one soldier's situation.
@@AndyP998 he surrendered and went back to fighting, he wasn't any better. Once I was watching a documentary about the war against ISIS, in one fight, a group of terrorists "surrendered", and some of them started walking to be captured, when some soldiers went out of protection, they (the terrorists who were hidden in cover during the fight) started shooting. It's been a long time since, so I don't remember If any soldier got killed in this trap.
@@AndyP998 if your enemy surrenders in war then he is not accepting defeat . He is simply using his wit to outsmart you . If you let him go you lose the wit game and if you kill him you lose the moral game . You lose anyway .
Fun fact: Saving Private Ryan, unlike most movies, was shot in chronological order. It helped the actors get into their character's heads. Edward Burns (Reiban) said that he was genuinely frustrated when they shot this scene.
Why does anyone find that funny? He's panicking because their unit is in turmoil after the death of Wade and he's desperate to prevent any more of them from being killed you idiot.
it was terrible, you could see the grown man, the german be reduced to a wreck trying to expose his love of america even though he is in the werhmacht and does not know the U.S. for shit. It's one of the strongest moments of the movie, and it is not funny. It's incredible but it is not funny.
4:18 I like how Sarg Harvath is the closest to Cpt Miller so when he sees some youngster mouthing off to his buddy, being disrespectful, throwing a fit he just throws his ass to the ground, what a boss
Its spose to represent panic because the whole unit is in turmoil after the death ogf Wade that's all, all the men are responding to the crisis in their own way, Miller is breaking down, Upham is compassionate, Reiben is threatening to leave and the Sergeant is supressing a mutiny he sees and Mellish is wanting them to stop looking for Ryan so no more of them get killed so he's panicking.

such a powerful scene. I was in Iraq, and what Cpt. Miller said is completely what I felt... "I just want ya to know that every man I kill, the further away from home I feel"
this scene is intense. You see a soldier and a man begging for his life knowing that he will most likely be killed moments later. in many instances on both sides prisoners were executed and im sure they all behaved similarly. It would be a tough thing to execute an unarmed soldier who is begging with you for his life not just an enemy combatant but a human being it would be simple to let them go but war doesnt always allow you to make the human decision.
" Every man I kill the farther away form home i feel" They join the armed forces not to kill people but to save people's lives. they're human after all and not enough people that only the good people die. Thank u to every soldier that stood in the front line i would not be here right now.
The official line from the film is that the soldier who kills Melish with the knife is not 'Steam boat Willy' the PoW they let go here.. Honestly I have no idea why from a plot perspective they made it like this. Maybe they couldn't get the actor back and then felt compelled to change the story slightly. The Soldier who kills Melish with the knife looks like he just walked back to the German lines and picked up another rifle too. Maybe at the end of the day they thought it was too convoluted.
Quodge I wasn't referring to Mellish's death at all with my original comment. I have zero idea where you came up with that originally, but my point was Steamboat Willie was at Ramelle, and he ended up shooting Miller. Reiben was ultimately right.
+Dennis Mackey Probably PTSD. Such occurrences happen in real life. During the battle you are so focused on the fight that you don't get to process all the stress and horror until well after the intense action is over. Earlier in the movie we see that Capt.Miller is indeed suffering from PTSD, in the form of his neurotically/uncontrollably shaky fingers.
I never realized until now, but by at 5:44 it seems Jackson takes out his pistol and points it at Mike's arm. Guess he was willing to shoot his own sergeant to save his friend's life. Kind of makes sense since Jackson and Reiben both didn't want to release their prisoner. Also shows you a lot about the brotherhood built between men that have lived through combat together.
the music helps add to the gravity of the situation. He's now directly responsible for his medic's death because he decided they needed to go take this area, now he's endangered the lives of the rest of his men because now they have no immediate medic if someone gets hurt, he's now reading his medic's letter which only adds to the sorrow and he can't go home and just make it all go away. The music gradually gets more intense, heavy and Hanks just breaks down only to realize his hand keeps shaking which adds even more sorrow to the situation.
Horvath was doing Reiben a favor. Trying to stop him from throwing his life away. If he had deserted, he would have been caught, and he would have gotten many years in prison or worse. And his reputation would have been destroyed. Horvath knew that Reiben was their most dependable warrior, so he tried to shock him into staying. During the following battle, Reiben drew the enemy towards the ambush point, killed several of them while helping Miller keep Ryan alive, took out the 20 mm Anti Aircraft gun on his own, and helped keep the advancing Germans at bay as his guys pulled back across the bridge. He also carried the mortally wounded Horvath to safety (he at least died amongst his men), and continued to pour machine gun fire on the enemy as they were on the verge of being overwhelmed, even when Miller had fallen and it seemed like they were all going to die. And yeah, if Reiben had shot the German POW, then it would have been better for Miller (and the other American - not Mellish, he was killed by some Waffen SS douchebag - the one 'Steamboat Willie' shot in the back as he was retreating across the bridge). But that was Miller's decision to make, and he didn't want himself or his men to kill an unarmed man who had surrendered to them.
Reiben was guilty for the following under the Uniform Code Of Military Justice. Article 94: Mutiny Article 85: Desertion Article 92: Failure to Obey an Order Article 89: Disrespect towards a superior commission officer Article 90: Assaulting or Disobeying a Superior Officer Offenses compounded together are grounds for Court Martial and punishable by death.
I never realized it until now but as an English teacher, Miller used his language skills to calm down his men and provoke them into following him. He didn’t strong arm them. He even gave them the option to leave. But he made them see how the only reasonable option was to find Ryan so they can all go home. This probably wouldn’t have worked on a barracks full of recruits but these smaller group of guys have tasted blood and they weren’t looking to taste any more than they had to
"Every man i kill, im that much farther from home" Classic PTSD right there. The more bodies you kill, the further you feel from who you was. The faces of your first kills stay with you, but soon they just become faceless men, and you stop caring why your fighting, or even if you'll get home. One day you realise all your thinking about is when you get to kill again, because your never going home. You're home IS the battle field.
Too be honest,The way he lived,especially fucking with meth and Coke,I expected him gone 5-10 years ago. The fact that he slowed down,used but used alot less is what gave him those extra years.He sure...well,I Dont know about deserved but wouldve loved for him to have had That one comeback role,that Rourke in The wrestler moment. His talent deserved a Swan song. His filmography,his legacy can be fit in eight years(okay nine,He is Great in Big trouble) and reading it,I realize its one of The more impressive resumés ever,he was a guarantee that The film was not only good but fucking Great. I bet alot of A-listers today wish they hade a legacy like that. Just to be concidered a risk While Being so important for Spielberg,this is The big supporting role but NO lead,The extent Spielberg went too to get him in this film,Daily piss tests...when Spielberg want an actor that bad,that actor has IT. Rip to one of....NO,Sizemore might be the actor Who when i think about falling in love with movies as a younger man,he is the constant,he is in like four of my top 20 movies,IF he was in a movie between 1993 and 2001,odds were 90% The movie was gonna kick ass. Rip to one of the last authentic badasses.
The great thing about this scene is that everything Reiben says is completely justified, especially considering they just lost two of their guys. Even Mike at 3:54 hangs his head in almost silent agreement.
My favorite line in this whole entire movie is in this scene when Tom Hanks says, " Every Man I Kill, The Futher Away From Home I Feel " man that hit so hard, and made me feel for every american soldier to ever serve and be I'm combat for war, they will always have my respect and my gratitude for all the fallen and safety they provide for this entire amazing country.
Watching this movie reminds me that what our country(USA) is going through isn't a bad thing. We are just adjusting to losing such an amazing generation. We will right the ship. It's hard out here without supermen.
The flag represents freedom. The flag doesn't condone the actions of the government. The flag represents the Republic for the people and our founding principles. Educate yourself
This is by far my favorite scene in this movie. From Hanks' monologue to burns and sizemore's stare down argument to the quick cuts between all the guys and just the way the whole film looks. Spielberg really out did himself in this film.
The real actual thing that stays true about war is that, everyone just wants to go home. Whether you fight for the good or the bad. You just want it to be over so you can go back to your family and your life.
I would say the greatest war movie ever. I remember when I was a child we were watching this together with my father and brother. Damn, old good days. We still need such a movies not a movies like a Fury.
Captain Miller says he coaches baseball in the springtime at the school he taught at a reference to Tom Hanks role in A League of their own 1992 where he was a baseball coach
He met his (wavering) soldiers where he was at. On a human level. We could all do with a little more humanity. With meeting each other on a human emotional level. Respect. If you want to share, please do so, but if you don't, then respect them for not sharing.
I have seen this movie more than a few times. But each time I watch this scene it brings me to tears. The situation is beyond most people's despair. Yet each man presses on. Duty.
Small units cannot take casualties before breaking down. In this scene, in Full Metal Jacket, and in Platoon, you see examples of how small units collapse into disarray after just one or two losses.
Sgt. Horvath: [At Reiben] You heard him. Gear up. [Pause] The captain just gave you an order.Pvt. Reiben: Yeah...Like the one he gave to take this machine gun. That was a real doozy, wasn't it Sergent?Sgt. Horvath: Soldier, you are way out of line.Pvt. Reiben: [At Miller] Yes, sir. That was one hell of a call coming to take this nest, but...The hell, we lost one of our guys going for it. I swear, I hope Mama Ryan's real freaking happy knowing that little Jimmy's life is more important than two of our guys! But then again, we haven't even found him yet, have we?! HAVE WE?!
the best line in the movie and is followed by the best humanely scene when he starts to carry the dead german bodies so that they could also be buried decently. calms the spirit, mind and body and puts everything back into perspective. such a masterpiece. I don't know how this film never won best picture?!!😊
In my opinion, just a disclaimer for all the keyboard warriors out there. This scene perfectly captures the confusion, anger, resentment and loneliness that war puts upon men.

Reiben is a really underrated character. He may seem like a total asshole in this scene, but in reality, he's both a little scared for his own life, and worried he'll witness all of his comrades die. He had already sat through Wade's death and wanted to killed Steamboat Willie purely for that reason. He felt betrayed when they allowed him to live, and wanted to leave under the concept of losing more allies, or Willie coming back to be a threat again later. Ultimately, I'm pretty glad he survived in the end, because as rude as he seemed, he deserved it.

Kinda guy who'll die for his buds kill anyone for them all the same
I related to Reiben a lot in this scene I couldn’t imagine losing someone close to me in a pointless engagement and being expected to fall in after that it takes so much to just move out once you realize your squad just gets smaller and smaller until it’s just you left
Nice in the end, he survives and Ben and Matt can get married
😂
@@Birlibi4 This may come as a shock, but that's not Ben Affleck as Reiben... I just found out it's actually Edward Burns, yet I've spent 20 years thinking that was Ben... Lmfao.
Ironic how this wehrmacht soldier ends up shooting Miller in the chest and killing him.
No, he does not. They just look alike.
House OfD He does, you're thinking of the SS guy who stabs Maelish, people often get him mixed up for this guy. He is there right at the end and shoots Cpt. Miller, then he speaks to Upham and Upham shoots him.
ITS THE SAME PERSON - HOW WOULD A RANDOM SS DUDE KNOW THAT PARTICULAR US SOLDIERS NAME WAS UPHAM? THERE WERE MANY INSTANCES OF WEHRMACHT WEARING SS TUNICS DUE TO SUPPLY ISSUES.
Cascadian Applications he would know because the dude was screaming Uphams name
and spielberg included this scene to show the "dishonour" of the german soldier..
it was on purpose
and its dirty american propaganda to stigmatise the enemy -.-
i would imagine after the landings at Omaha, fighting in the Bocage for a few days, not having enough proper sleep and tasty food while walking through the rains, losing some of your best friends in the process strips you of any patience or empathy for the enemy. Idealism and philosophical thought are privileges of the well fed and well rested
So a german soldier who lost comrades to partisans is justified to shoot civilians who probably work together with partisans? The german soldier is desperate of war and also lost empathy... just like these americans here?
To understand doesn't mean to forgive.
That's why these americans are not better than germans who shoot prisoners
Nope but in both scenarios, they are stripped of their patience and bearings, all the morals and ethics go out the window, they cant be bothered to care anymore so they did it anyway. That's why war is bad
Yeah. Your are right. War is the worst thing that can happen to people.
I'm happy that you can look very neutral about it. The one side doesnt consist of heros and the other side doesnt consist of evil soldiers. They are all the same. Just humans. And that is why war should never happen. Humans doing horrible things to each other, they had never dreamed of before.
"It is well that war is so terrible, or we should grow too fond of it" - Robert E. Lee
Tropical Magic Actually idealism and philosophical thought are the privileges of the well rested and well fed even in this very day.
I fell sorry for all the guys that saw the war
indeed brother and yet there are some nutcases here say today men should tough up and put to the test. this is not a test this is a torture chamber or hell itself. no one should experience it...yeah am a coward call me that you know why because most the "BRAVE" men are dead and the rest are mentally deranged by now or scarred for life.
Same if I was in it I'd be having nightmares about the people who died
@@MrODST57 if they won, you'd be speaking german now if you're lucky. Dead if you're not. I'll take my chances and let nazi germany loss the war.
@@RedPilgrim. I was being sarcastic -_-
New world I agree no man have to experience this they all suffer enough to see friends and brothers die in the battlefield right in front of you
I still find it sad how Captain Miller is an English Teacher and coach of a baseball team and he had to fight in a war away from his wife, and when he dies just thinking about hearing the news if you were a student hearing your teacher died or that your coach died and even sad thing is he died when he has a wife and you don't see what she feels about that or see her reaction. Just my though
Odds are he choose to fight, in most cases teachers were given deferments if they were drafted. Odds are he volunteered... But then again its just a movie. My grandpa was drafted after he graduated college in 42' and it was funny to him because he enlisted the day after graduation he received a draft notice 2 weeks after he enlisted...
"You don't know when to shut up. You don't know how to shut up!"
I have had many a student like that.
I say that to my mother-in-law all the time.
im using that line tomorrow!
He must've been a college professor
A lot of people hate Upham, but when I first watched this movie I actually agree with him. I agreed with the whole moral that it was wrong to shoot a defenseless enemy that was just doing his job as a soldier. A lot of ppl hate him, because they don't understand his perspective. On Omaha he wasn't a frontline soldier. He was in the rear, working as a translator. He didn't serve in North Africa with the rest. He had zero combat experience. Of course he wouldn't understand the value of killing a POW over releasing him. And for the same reason, he wouldn't understand why that same soldier could kill his defenseless captain. It's unfortunate that it got his friends and fellow soldiers killed, but he had to learn what everyone else already knew. It's what makes him a realistic and good character.
The dude got mad people killed . Screw him
@@davidluong8370 no, he is right.
He never got trained to be a frontline soldier and saw action like Miller and the rest of the squad.
No, he was 100% right. You don't kill a pow, and if u do ur pos. U have no morals if u kill a pow, ur letting the war take the humanity out of u.
@@williambriggs4574 It’s a horrible business especially watching the guy try to beg for his life in a language he doesn’t speak, but surely letting him go wasn’t the right decision because of the possibility he would be found first by his comrades and then thrown back into the fight and cost more allied lives? It’s a tricky one I don’t know what I would do in that situation.
The Germans did kill an unarmed medic, and their friend. Right or wrong, it's hard not to have those kind of emotions. Upham didn't have any relationship with Wade.
Reiben was the only one who said what everyone was thinking
ye thank god he lived through it , god bless the rangers
He thought with a one track mind though. He wouldn’t have made a good leader
blood raven he at least lived through the events of the movie
Reiben is my favourite character type, the guy who's a prick for half the movie but turns out to be heroic in the final battle
That soldier who they let go was the one who shot Miller in the end.
That's incorrect, check it again.
hes correct. watch again.
How did he know Upham's name at the end then?
SJMJ91 actually, rain was right.
Steamboat Willie shot Miller, but i got it confused with the guy who killed Mellish.
(He's never seen again.)
Yeah. He shot both Wade and Miller, but got killed in the end by Upham. No, someone else killed Mellish.
The Captains leadership qualities really came out here. Everyone else is freaking out and he calmly explains the situation and keeps order.
A nifty little detail that I think a lot of people forget or miss entirely is that quip from Reiben about how it was "the decent thing to do" by letting him go, basically accusing Miller of contradicting himself when he said they're not there to do the decent thing when Caparzo was trying to take the kids back in the town.
"Just know that every man I kill, the farther away from home I feel."
A sad line, but great line as well.
I wonder if his thoughts meant home as meaning his home in Maine? Or home as in home in God?
“Just know that every man I kill, the farther away from home I feel.”
Such a powerful line and delivery by Hanks.
The argument scene, the shouting, the anger, the emotional outbursts, the crying. It's because of the living nightmare they're going through, the nightmare known as war. I totally understand that. People die in it. Sometimes they die horribly. With this scene, I can see what's going on. One guy desperately wants to do something, another guy desperately wants out. It's the horrible situation they're in. I'd feel and act similar, had I been in WW2. It's not for people like me. These soldiers were just unlucky to experience the hell that they did at that era. God bless these guys.
Victor Katilis Oh, hell, no. This just shows you don't understand. Who is this, anyway?
Private: "Pull the fuckin trigger!"
Cpt. Miller: "I'm a school teacher"
._.
When I was little and first saw this movie, I used to hate Upham for being such a naive coward. That hatred turned to empathy as I grew up and began to see him with an understanding that, he's just like us. If we were to be put in similar situation and circumstances, who are we kidding thinking we would jump right in and become some desensitized warmachine of a soldier depicted in fake ass hollywood war/action movies. We won't. It was quite sad to see his ideologies and attempts at keeping civilized integrity as decent human beings went away when he saw and shot that same POW upon finally realizing the madness of the setting he finds himself in. That blank expressionless face gave me a whole new perception to the character.
im older and i still see him as a coward.
When i saw the movie the first time as a kid, i hated him for being a pussy and a coward.
Seeing it now, as a 23 year old, i still hate him. Now it's more for being stupid idiot.
It's war. Upham does not understand war. All the other guys of the squad understood war. Understood what the most logical solution was.
Upham had no idea what he was talking about, and still he thought, that he was the one to decide what the best solution was.
i still see him as a coward, that could of saves those 2, he had all the 30 cal ammo, yet he feared death. Shouldn't of been there in the first place.
Gabriel Salyer
You're exactly right in saying he shouldn't have been there. Neither were any of those millions of men, women and children who found themselves in that chaotic mess that didn't have to happen at all to begin with. It's easy to say he's this and that when we as an audience are watching something fictional happening in a screen, well away from reality; OUR reality. Put in similar situations, everyone's prone to giving in to fear and a sense of extreme vulnerability like the one you saw from Upham. This doesn't make Upham a coward but rather merely a man still comparably less desensitized/traumatized by the brutality of war-nothing more, nothing less
+shyadeny hes definitely a coward. why do we have to employ apologetics for such things? all though id argue we arent sure if he was one at the end. it made it seem like he finally got over it and pulled the trigger. he may have lost some of his humanity but it could also be taken as him realizing that his ideals cant survive such things. but for most of the movie he was a coward. this is shown when instead of firing at the germans using jackson's sniper rifle, he takes the scope off and watches as wade gets shot. the germans getting away scott free under his cross hairs.
Great acting

2:04 I don't know whether to laugh or cry. He's trying so hard to think of every American thing that comes to his mind so that they won't kill him.
It doesn't matter what he was thinking, he WAS the enemy. In spite of this, he was let go and KILLED two men. However, in the end, Upham showed the right courage and shot that German soldier down. Overall, a very good portrayal of one soldier's situation.
What right courage there is to pull trigger on surrendered enemy after battle? @@rossjones5741
@@AndyP998 he surrendered and went back to fighting, he wasn't any better. Once I was watching a documentary about the war against ISIS, in one fight, a group of terrorists "surrendered", and some of them started walking to be captured, when some soldiers went out of protection, they (the terrorists who were hidden in cover during the fight) started shooting.

I always loved how when Horvath has his gun pointed at Reiben, Jackson has sidearm pointed at Horvath. Best WWII film.

such a powerful scene. I was in Iraq, and what Cpt. Miller said is completely what I felt... "I just want ya to know that every man I kill, the further away from home I feel"
Bro Tom Sizemore is so good in this scene
this scene is intense. You see a soldier and a man begging for his life knowing that he will most likely be killed moments later. in many instances on both sides prisoners were executed and im sure they all behaved similarly. It would be a tough thing to execute an unarmed soldier who is begging with you for his life not just an enemy combatant but a human being it would be simple to let them go but war doesnt always allow you to make the human decision.

3:24 In the end, Reiben was right.
The official line from the film is that the soldier who kills Melish with the knife is not 'Steam boat Willy' the PoW they let go here.. Honestly I have no idea why from a plot perspective they made it like this. Maybe they couldn't get the actor back and then felt compelled to change the story slightly. The Soldier who kills Melish with the knife looks like he just walked back to the German lines and picked up another rifle too. Maybe at the end of the day they thought it was too convoluted.
Quodge
Steamboat Willie kills Captain Miller.
As stated above the official line from the production team is that it is not the same character. Google it.
Quodge
I wasn't referring to Mellish's death at all with my original comment. I have zero idea where you came up with that originally, but my point was Steamboat Willie was at Ramelle, and he ended up shooting Miller.
Reiben was ultimately right.
Oah right.. lol must be getting old. Was he the one Uppam shoots to make them all surrender?
Tom Sizemore has the most defining character in this movie. Such a perfect touch, and he f.... n ails it
"CRYING? Theres NO CRYING in WARTIME!"
+Dennis Mackey Probably PTSD. Such occurrences happen in real life. During the battle you are so focused on the fight that you don't get to process all the stress and horror until well after the intense action is over. Earlier in the movie we see that Capt.Miller is indeed suffering from PTSD, in the form of his neurotically/uncontrollably shaky fingers.

I never realized until now, but by at 5:44 it seems Jackson takes out his pistol and points it at Mike's arm. Guess he was willing to shoot his own sergeant to save his friend's life. Kind of makes sense since Jackson and Reiben both didn't want to release their prisoner. Also shows you a lot about the brotherhood built between men that have lived through combat together.
“I have a sixth sense for these things, I feel it in my bones!”
“Captain, I have a sixth sense for these things. I know it in my bones!”

the music helps add to the gravity of the situation. He's now directly responsible for his medic's death because he decided they needed to go take this area, now he's endangered the lives of the rest of his men because now they have no immediate medic if someone gets hurt, he's now reading his medic's letter which only adds to the sorrow and he can't go home and just make it all go away. The music gradually gets more intense, heavy and Hanks just breaks down only to realize his hand keeps shaking which adds even more sorrow to the situation.
Horvath was doing Reiben a favor. Trying to stop him from throwing his life away. If he had deserted, he would have been caught, and he would have gotten many years in prison or worse. And his reputation would have been destroyed. Horvath knew that Reiben was their most dependable warrior, so he tried to shock him into staying. During the following battle, Reiben drew the enemy towards the ambush point, killed several of them while helping Miller keep Ryan alive, took out the 20 mm Anti Aircraft gun on his own, and helped keep the advancing Germans at bay as his guys pulled back across the bridge. He also carried the mortally wounded Horvath to safety (he at least died amongst his men), and continued to pour machine gun fire on the enemy as they were on the verge of being overwhelmed, even when Miller had fallen and it seemed like they were all going to die. And yeah, if Reiben had shot the German POW, then it would have been better for Miller (and the other American - not Mellish, he was killed by some Waffen SS douchebag - the one 'Steamboat Willie' shot in the back as he was retreating across the bridge). But that was Miller's decision to make, and he didn't want himself or his men to kill an unarmed man who had surrendered to them.
Reiben was guilty for the following under the Uniform Code Of Military Justice.
Article 94: Mutiny
Article 85: Desertion
Article 92: Failure to Obey an Order
Article 89: Disrespect towards a superior commission officer
Article 90: Assaulting or Disobeying a Superior Officer
Offenses compounded together are grounds for Court Martial and punishable by death.
Most dependable warrior? What would you base that on? That the script clearly and early signals he will survive? Yeah, thats not a dependable warrior.
I never realized it until now but as an English teacher, Miller used his language skills to calm down his men and provoke them into following him. He didn’t strong arm them. He even gave them the option to leave. But he made them see how the only reasonable option was to find Ryan so they can all go home. This probably wouldn’t have worked on a barracks full of recruits but these smaller group of guys have tasted blood and they weren’t looking to taste any more than they had to
Most moving scene in the film. I tear up every time I see it & I've seen it 100 times.
How many Captain Millers did we lose? I get choked up...
3:52 I love the shot of the MG42 looking down on the German soldier walking down the hill.

"Every man i kill, im that much farther from home"
Classic PTSD right there. The more bodies you kill, the further you feel from who you was. The faces of your first kills stay with you, but soon they just become faceless men, and you stop caring why your fighting, or even if you'll get home. One day you realise all your thinking about is when you get to kill again, because your never going home. You're home IS the battle field.
One of the best scenes of any movie. Tom Sizemore passing away so early is very sad.
Too be honest,The way he lived,especially fucking with meth and Coke,I expected him gone 5-10 years ago. The fact that he slowed down,used but used alot less is what gave him those extra years.He sure...well,I Dont know about deserved but wouldve loved for him to have had That one comeback role,that Rourke in The wrestler moment. His talent deserved a Swan song. His filmography,his legacy can be fit in eight years(okay nine,He is Great in Big trouble) and reading it,I realize its one of The more impressive resumés ever,he was a guarantee that The film was not only good but fucking Great. I bet alot of A-listers today wish they hade a legacy like that. Just to be concidered a risk While Being so important for Spielberg,this is The big supporting role but NO lead,The extent Spielberg went too to get him in this film,Daily piss tests...when Spielberg want an actor that bad,that actor has IT. Rip to one of....NO,Sizemore might be the actor Who when i think about falling in love with movies as a younger man,he is the constant,he is in like four of my top 20 movies,IF he was in a movie between 1993 and 2001,odds were 90% The movie was gonna kick ass.

"Ryan's dead, I have a sixth sense about these things..."
When I first saw the movie I wanted to hug him so bad...
The real actual thing that stays true about war is that, everyone just wants to go home. Whether you fight for the good or the bad. You just want it to be over so you can go back to your family and your life.
There is no good or bad. Just two sides fighting for their ideals.
I would say the greatest war movie ever. I remember when I was a child we were watching this together with my father and brother. Damn, old good days. We still need such a movies not a movies like a Fury.
Captain Miller says he coaches baseball in the springtime at the school he taught at a reference to Tom Hanks role in A League of their own 1992 where he was a baseball coach
He met his (wavering) soldiers where he was at. On a human level.
We could all do with a little more humanity. With meeting each other on a human emotional level. Respect. If you want to share, please do so, but if you don't, then respect them for not sharing.

the best line in the movie and is followed by the best humanely scene when he starts to carry the dead german bodies so that they could also be buried decently. calms the spirit, mind and body and puts everything back into perspective. such a masterpiece. I don't know how this film never won best picture?!!😊
Love Riben/Edward Burns in this scene!
Tom Hank's customer service skills are Godlike with patience 4:20
In my opinion, just a disclaimer for all the keyboard warriors out there.
This scene perfectly captures the confusion, anger, resentment and loneliness that war puts upon men.
