Saving Private Ryan, Interstellar & The Martian. the US government has spent a whole lot of money rescuing Matt Damon
Or chasing him. The Bourne series and the Ocean series and Elysium
and World Police.. MaTt DaMoN!!
@@niallrussell7184 I ALWAYS say his name like this hahaha Maattt Deyyymonn
@@niallrussell7184 hahahaha I love the story behind that voice, too. They tried making the puppet a few times, but it kept coming out all warped. They spontaneously joked about how the warped Matt Damon puppet's warped voice would sound and, thinking it was too funny not to, they decided to go with it for the film.
When it came out, Matt Damon said Matt Stone & Trey Parker hadn't asked him to do the "MaTt DaMoN!" line, but he wished they had & was mildly disappointed he didn't get to do the voice because he thought it was so hilarious.
No. HOLLYWOOD has spent a whole lot of money rescuing Damon.
"Tell me I'm a good man." I actually cried in the theatre. All men should aspire to being "good", and deserving of respect.
Her reaction gets to me. "What?"
You know right there that he never told her. And she doesn't get it, and she never will.
@@maxromisch3361 Yep, that is true. Like so many of them, including my WWI Grandfather. Lost the use of a lung to the gas at Ypres, but never complained about it.
Different times.
It was the last good generation of men. Been downhill ever since.
@@thorbeorn4295 Hard times produce hard men. Soft times produce, well...look around. Sigh.
That line gets me every time. Saw this in the theater and that one line just WRECKED me!
When Hanks says,”Earn this,” he is speaking to you.
Hanks was nominated for a Golden Globe for this, but lost out to Jim Carrey for the Truman Show.
I’m glad too, Hanks already won 2 Oscars prior so it was time to recognize other talent for a change
Yep, he’s speaking to all of us.
You think the left woke freaks think that?
@@nsasupporter7557 What a steaming pile of nonsense.
@@RenegadeShepTheSpacer um… I’m sorry that you don’t like facts 🤷♂️
When Mrs. Ryan collapses on the front porch gets me every time. Heartbreaking.
Agreed. I can't imagine. My grandmother moved states because she worked for Western Union delivering those dreaded telegrams and didn't want people who knew her to hate seeing her coming.
Well Coby. Three of my older brothers were in Vietnam. Two in the rice paddies and one on a ship outside of Vietnam. My mother would NEVER look at the mail. She would take it and put it on the table until my dad got home from work. He would open the mail. It was very stressful. All three of my brothers came home ALIVE with all there body parts. THANK GOD.

Thank you both for your families and your service, God bless.
I'm grateful that was the outcome. I hope your brothers were able to have decent lives after coming home.
@jon87583 Not really. One of my brother's was a medic. He came home with AGENT ORANGE. Screwed up his skin for a long time. But, yeah, he's better now. Thanks for asking.
It's remarkable what these men accomplished at the ages of like 16-21. Insane. And the reason why "The Greatest Generation" is an accurate label.

These kids know a gun better than those young men, but the principles, convictions and moral fortitude....

Churchill called us cousins. That we are.
@@NavyGuy125
Not all Americans are" yanks", anglo.
@@bango31
Churchill was also a fascist imperialist instigating wars to expand what he (accurately) saw as failing monarchy/Empire. He along with Patton wanted war with the Soviets instead of Germany and peddled the same racist propaganda about slavs being less than the "Germanic people" (ironically most European Russians are a mix of Eastern Slav and Swede).
As a soldier who's been in combat, that's the worst PTSD you can ever suffer: living with the guilt that you got your friends....your brethren/sisters killed when it could've been avoided.
Don't get me wrong, there are many types of PTSD. But I've lost more vets here at home who lived with the guilt of the "shoulda', woulda', coulda'."
Mind you, I also don't have regrets of serving as well. I would proudly do it again without a second thought. I will retire next year, after being in the Army as an infantryman for 22 years. And yes, I chose my job. I joined a year after 9/11. I knew that someone had to do it; that if I didn't do this, I'd regret it for the rest of my life.
And yes, I'm sure I do have some sort of PTSD. I held back the tears when we came back from a mission without a fellow soldier. It happened 3 years later when I was alone in the barracks, having a beer watching Flags of Our Fathers. For some reason, at the end of the movie, when the Marines were at the beach in the water, I thought of my squad leader, about his fiancé, about his plans of making his life with her when he got out, about a family. And here I was, having a beer, alone, no plans about tomorrow. I finally let it out. I bawled my eyes out. I missed him. I missed them all.
In closing, when we got home from Iraq, I got to meet the family of a close brethren of mine who didn't make it; before, I was teaching him Navajo because when he got out he wanted to work at his father's dealership, near the rez. He said almost half of the customers were Navajo, and this would be a great way to build some trust.
I met his family when we got off the plane. I told them I'm so sorry for their loss. But I'm so proud and honored to have known their son and so grateful they allowed him to serve. Because I now know what an amazing person he was and why he is loved. They lost their son, and I lost a brother.
I'll see you someday SSG V, and SGT Geer. Right now, I'm living for you.🙏🏼
Thank you for your service!
Thanks for sharing, bud. Sincerely hope you're well.
God Bless you.

To me Wade's death was the hardest. Listening to him first trying to triage himself and then listening to him crying for his mother
The scene in the church where he's talking about pretending to be asleep when his mother comes home early to see him is probably my favorite of the movie. Great acting. But this movie is just full of great scenes and acting
When he asked for some more morphine he knew he was dead. They'd already given him one. I've heard saying: "One lets you see Jesus. Two lets meet Jesus." I think they give him 3. That's why they were so reluctant. Then they realized he wanted to sleep peacefully. I hope his mother was with him in his morphine hallucination.
@@michaelharris6044they euthanized him with morphine. They knew what they were doing.
Yeah, such a hard scene.
Oh my God. Especially after ignoring her all those nights. And then calling out for her.
Spielberg: "I'm making a movie".
Every A-list actor on the planet: "Where do I sign up? I'll work for scale!"
They did it 1st in 1962 with the movie ‘The Longest Day’ same Normandy landings but from the perspective of the paratroopers
They weren't A listers at that time, but mostly because of being in this movie.
At least some of them...
And to think he basically wrote and created the Medal of Honor game at around the same time he was making this movie.
Both of which he worked hand in hand with, and to make sure Vets felt was it was respectful to the reality of war. And didn't make a joke or offensive mockery of it.
Both were groundbreaking. And medal of Honor turned into Call of Duty ect. Whichiterally defined a whole generation of gamers
I mean we know alot of those actors but they are all pretty young , Spielberg sure has a sharp eye to detect talent
And the other half of the A-list actors went to the film Thin Red Line the other war movie from the same year.
The best war film ever made. The men that fought in WWII were a different breed. They sacrificed their lives for the world. We're losing them every day now. There's not many left now.
I am not a U.S. citizen. I am Chilean, but grew up for the better part of my childhood and adolescent years abroad, including the States. I have two brothers that are U.S. citizens. Having said that: there is a universal story here. Sacrifice. And living up to - deserving - the sacrifices made for us. I watched this movie in a Provo Utah theater. I was sobbing along with all of the veterans and U.S. citizens at the movies there with me.
Steven Spielberg said it best at the academy awards, "These were a bunch 18, 19 and 20 year olds and they saved the whole damned world".
Well, the Russians did but these guys helped
@@avengemybreath3084 Are you talking about the maggots who were allied with Nazi Germany when they both invaded Poland in 1939 in an act of unprovoked brutality?
@@avengemybreath3084 no, the Russians were on an ENTIRELY different front and mainly defended their homeland until the Germans ran short on supplies. They didn't assault beach heads, or send in massive airborne divisions, and they weren't even involved in the Pacific theater. Yes, they played a huge role and killed a lot of Germans but they had absolutely nothing to do with other theaters of operation. This was a WORLD war not an eastern Europe war.
@@joeberger3441 fair enough - the Russians primarily beat the Nazis.
@@avengemybreath3084 Russia caught a lot of German bullets, but they never would have succeeded without Lend Lease.
This, Hacksaw Ridge and We Were Soldiers should be required watching in high school to show what war really is. Such great movies. Glad to see Coby reacting to it.
I would add Platoon as well. That film really shows that sometimes in war, the most dangerous enemies or despicable people are those who are supposed to be on your side.
You amateurs left off apocalypse now and deer hunter
My sophomore history class in high school showed us Band of Brothers thankfully. That was 2005 and by then I'd prob seen it 10 times and read the book three times at least, but I said it at the time too. Must watch in High School in our country.
Hacksaw Ridge was so bad i barely could finish watching it, so much hollywood bullshit, like Vince Vaughn as the worst drill instructor i have ever seen in a movie. Also allot of historical inaccuracies in that movie.
@@NecramoniumVideo yeah , Mels bastardization for Hollywood was a disgrace!
My Grandfather served in WW2, he was awarded a silver star and a purple heart. He said the thing that bothered him the most in this movie was the squeaking noise the German tank tracks made. He said that noise had haunted him ever since the war.
7 minutes in, and your compassion shows.
This. Is what you're Grandfather and Great Grandfather's went through, between the ages of 16 to 26 on average.
The Greatest Generation of our age. They grew up during the Great Depression, lived through WW1, fought in the biggest war known to mankind in WW2, stopped Hitler from Genocide, and Changed the World.
Spielberg said he made this movie for his father and Schindler's List for his mother. Both stretch you in uncomfortable ways but are masterpieces.
He should have send postcards. Much easier.
My feeling is that Saving Private Ryan and Schindler's List are two very difficult movies to see. But, both very important movies to see.
I bet he made the Medal of Honor game for himself though haha
@@mikakorhonen5715 Lame
They are both not movies you can just sit and watch. You have to mentally prepare yourself. No matter how many times you’ve seen them.
I am a combat veteran ( Vietnam ) You can not possibly know the good you have just done. Thank you for this and God bless you
Thank you.
Thank you for your service. Thanks to all who gave the ultimate sacrafice > Memorial Day.
Everything to entice young people to die for companies that only see them as merchandise ........... just saying
There are those movies where men who don't cry as a default, get those watery eyes and have to wipe it away. This is number one. Most men, I would say feel this depiction of WW2 most deeply. Best war movie ever. Clearest evil and good. It's a shame that 80 years later the same country is falling for the same tactics the Nazis used to control their population. The USA is the new third Reich, and many are too delusional and weak to see it. Sometimes I feel that these men died for nothing, because their grandchildren learned nothing.
I served as an AF cardiac nurse and paramedic, and this was a very realistic portrayal of the injuries/ trauma . I was stationed in a Regional Hospital, which served as a resource for taking in active duty injuries during Desert Storm.
Thank you for having the courage to watch. It isnt easy for anyone 🙏🙏
The morphine wasn't a waste. He had already been given the maximum dose of 2 syrettes, a third would cause an overdose. Rather than prolonging his suffering, he asked his brothers to kill him in as painless a way as possible. That's why they were hesitant to do it.
This is always one of the most meaningful parts of the movie to me.
Everyone there knew what he was asking for, most of all Wade himself. I’m both sad and glad they didn’t use exposition to explain it, but so many people miss that point because of the lack of exposition.
The sad part is that it never made it into a vein. And even if it had, the amount of blood he was losing and pressure loss meant it wouldn't have had much of an effect. Anyone with advanced first aid and/or EMT training knows this which makes it even more sad for them when watching.
I’m guessing I’m not the only one who no matter how many reaction videos I watch of this film, I’m always crying. May I never get numb to the hell of war. Coby, thank you for your heartfelt, thoughtful reaction.
@@tenlow2
It is explained in exposition before this scene when Wade castigates others for giving too much morphine because it would kill him. But yes, that scene was so they wouldn’t have to break the meaningfulness of his death with unnecessary exposition.
As Wade was the medic, when he yelled “oh my god, my liver”, he knew he was gonna die, so he asked for one more shot. A liver shot is almost always fatal if you don’t seek emergency medical attention within 10-20 minutes. The blood appears very dark from liver injuries
World War II veterans had to leave theaters when this movie was premiered to them back 1998 because of how realistic it was in its depiction of the events that took place, especially Omaha beach
Not all of them. I sat next to four D-Day veterans watching the movie in the theater with their wives. Strong, brave men who could grieve the loss without being broken.
I am much younger than that, but had my own combat experiences in the '80's. I had to walk out in the first 10 minutes! I have only been able to watch it in the last 7 years. PTSD is a bitch. I couldn't even do fireworks until about 10 years ago. I would go into panic attacks.
@@506thparatrooper I had the same experience of seeing the film with WWII veterans. They sat still and never moved or spoke during the entire film. Truly an amazing generation.
@@506thparatrooper Are you actually talking trash about D-Day vets?
@@Educated2Extinction A wise man speaks because he has something to say, a fool speaks because they have to say something. You just had to say something.
This was one of the BEST and heartfelt movie reviews I’ve ever witnessed. Thank you for your honest emotions. I hope Spielberg himself sees this video. Bravo.
I'm a guy in his mid 30s, no kids yet. To this day, I stand by my belief that their mother getting that news is by far the most heart-wrenching part of the movie.
I've always said, if I don't see someone cry during that scene, there's something "off" with them!
Mrs. Sullivan, who has a song dedicated to her got 5 notices. 5. The ultimate sacrifice.
I was in the army when I saw this in Houston at the Theater. There were a lot of older men getting up and leaving, my young dumb self didn't even realize the reason they were leaving. After the movie, there were so many older men just sitting around with their wives consoling them, You could visibly see the turmoil and anguish and pain in their eyes. It hit me like a rock when I realized what was really going on. I've never exited a movie in my life where the people were all moving so slow, and just looking at each other and all just emotionally beat up. It was a lot to witness.
Band Of Brothers.
All time best BoB, watch The Longest Day. Tora Tora Tora, Patton, Cross of Iron,
The Pacific as well
WOW I am impressed with all the actors Coby was able to recognize.
My grandfather was a tailgunner over in Asia the last couple years of the war. He was underage when he enlisted. His mother had to sign a waiver for him to enlist. He was the 4th son to go off to ww2. Fortunately, they all came home.
My grandfathers flight crew wasn't as lucky. He and another gunner were left at base. The war had just ended. No need for them. The plane was shot down over China on that flight. My grandfather rarely spoke of the war. Only once did my dad even hear about it. This movie always makes me so proud of my grandpa and his brothers. RIP boys.
One of the most emotional reactions I've ever seen for this movie. No need to apologize. Your knowledge of most actors names was impressive. Thank you for a heartfelt reaction.
Coby is wicked smart, she picked up on things right away on her first watch.
Yes she has. Almost as bad as another girl, whats her channel? Pop Culturally Challenged.. Thats another girl shouldnt watch too strong of movies
@@wsw32606 That's why I enjoy her reactions so much. Coby is great and knows a lot about movies, therefore her predictions are very often on point. I love how she gets emotionally invested in the stories, although his time it was a bit hard for me to watch her suffer so much. 🙃But it was such a really good and honest reaction. Coby seems to be a really lovely and smart person. Looking forward to the next reaction! 🙂
Cassie on Popcorn in Bed did an amazing reaction as well.
Yeah I didn't think she'd know half those actors, she pretty much knew them all, the guy that played Wade was in Friends too, he played Phoebe's half brother or something I think. And the guy that played Upham was in the final couple of seasons of Lost.
Aw, Coby. Don't apologize for crying. I cried with you. I cry every time I see this film.
Same
Me too
This is one of the greatest war films that's needs to be watched at least once by everyone!!! Great reaction Colby, I know it wasn't easy.
This June 6th marks the 80th anniversary of D-Day. It's hard to imagine the enormity of it all. There were 160,000 allied troops, 5,000 ships and 2,200 aircraft involved in the invasion. We should all take a couple of seconds out of our busy lives and say a little thanks for what they did for us that day. When you walk thru the American cemetery in Normandy you feel how big the sacrifice was.
Saving Private Ryan is the biggest snub in Oscar history!
Nah. The first and biggest snub was Spielberg's The Color Purple from 1986.
My vote is still that Val Kilmer should have got best supporting actor for Dr. Holiday in tombstone.
@@aztecgold8997 It's Doc Holiday, not Dr. Holiday.
@@jkhoover DDS would probably be his real moniker...lol
@@jkhoover It's Holliday.
I was a Navy Corpsman, (counterpart to Wade's Doc) I served 10 years, 8 with Marines. I saw this on a Tuesday afternoon. There were 12 of us. Myself, and 11 others, all veterans. At the end of the movies, the house lights went up. All of us had teary eyes. One old man stated the following- "As far as war movies go, that was the most accurate depiction I've ever seen . As for the ACTUAL D-Day, it didn't come close"
His hat said it all- D-Day Survivor, Purple Heart. I have always deferred to his expert opinion. As bad as you think it was as shown in the movie, it was much, much worse.
As for me I have watched this and others from time to time. It is hard, but it helps to remember. To know sacrifices were worth it.
This was a fictional story told with the utmost respect.
As for others I watch & recommend We were soldiers based on the book written about the battle of Ia Drang in Vietnam the names of genuine Hero's. Flags of our Fathers & it's companion movie Letters from Iwo Jima, Memphis Belle, and Hacksaw Ridge
My understanding is that many said this did capture the sights and sounds but not the smell nor the time. D-day went on for hours.
@@curtismartin2866 exactly. There simply is no way to accurately represent a battle of that magnitude. That said, they did an outstanding job and set the bar high on this movie
I'm so glad you correctly identified steam boat Willy and didn't confuse him with Mellish's killer
Great job Coby. I enjoyed your reaction. I was 35 when this came out. I thought it would be a good Idea to take my father 73 at the time to see it because it was so good. But I didn't realize how it would affect him. He went with me out of respect, but he cried in the theater. He never cried. He was in college when the Korean war ended. Many of his friends and family died in war. I was so stupid.
I asked my grandfather, who had 3 purple hearts, and NEVER talked about his WWII service in Europe, if he wanted to see the movie when it was in theaters. All he said was a very emphatic "No." After he died his brother told me why. His squad was ambushed by a 14 yearold boy in a Hitler Youth uniform who was running at them with a grenade. My grandfather yelled at him in German to drop it, when he didn't, he shot him in the leg before he could pull the pin. He hit an artery and the boy bled out in my grandfathers arms while he gave him water from his canteen.
Wow there are no words..respect to your Grandfather for his service and what he endured.
Some of the Hitler Youth were vicious. Some of them manned the machine guns in Omaha Beach. Some killed all the men on some landing crafts. One of my uncles served with Patton. He killed at least one member of the Hitler Youth. He received a Bronze Star for taking out a machine gun nest with a BAR.
Respect to your grandpa. My dad was on the other side of the planet at the time. He didn't talk about it either. Can't remember which movie now, but one in the Pacific theater came out and I asked if he wanted to see it. He raised his eyebrows and said no, I was there. I never asked if he would watch a war movie again.
I have no words after reading that😮💨
In the beach aftermath scene, Vin Disel's character hands the Jewish guy a Hitler youth knife. A lot of people didn't understand what they really meant or the guy's reaction when he was given it. That group they shot was all a bunch of teenagers or had some teenagers in it. Kids, just kids.
The Bixby Letter scene is always the most powerful to me.
My uncle was at D-Day as an Army Lieutenant and was allowed to photograph. In the mid 1990s, him and my aunt retraced his March through France and Germany. My aunt took his photos from 1944-45 and took the exact same location photos in 1990s. I video-taped their slide show as they both narrated. Uncle became very unusually quite at times, as we could feel his pain.
His troops liberated the village Doremy, FR, home of Joan of Arc. One of his photos during the war, on the statute of Joan, villagers had removed from her upraised hand, her sword and replaced it with an American flag. The Greatest Generation.
This is the most realistic war movie ever made.
Seeing this on the big screen with Dolby audio, especially at the beginning of the movie, was beyond words.
My dad fought on the beach at Normandy, France, and this brought me to many tears in appreciation of what these guys went through.
My oldest brother Larry went to Vietnam from '66-'68, and when he forced himself to go see Platoon when it came out, was double-traumatized with his already existing PTSD.
THIS is why you should always thank a veteran for their service. I think everyone should watch this every Memorial Day.
i do. then i watch forrest gump
I watch it June 6th every year.
I'm impressed that you recognized that the soldier that killed Mellish (while Upham froze in fear) was not the same person as "Steamboat Willie" (the German soldier that was released) the first time. It seems 75% of viewers think they are the same character. Your reaction to this epic film was great.
You're so right. So many people who react to this movie make that mistake. Thinking Mellish was killed by the Steamboat Willie German.
its a great test of which reactor is worthy
I'm dumbfounded that there was a whole plot element that I missed. Thought Upham simply got revenge for Mellish.
@@ZoneBaracking they look similar, but Steamboat Willie appears to be older than the other soldier. Additionally, the uniform gives it away-Steamboat Willie was in the German army, while the other soldier was a member of the Waffen-SS, which is a completely different branch of the German armed forces, though they often worked in tandem.
75? I'd put it more at 89%!! Even I was fooled at first.
This movie actually caused quite a bit of D-Day veterans to have PTSD flashbacks when they watched the movie in theaters
Perfect reaction. My favorite war movie, all time. And no matter how many times I’ve seen it, I can’t help tearing up at the final scene at the cemetery - “Tell me I’m a good man.” Salute to the Greatest Generation…Thank you.
This is Vin Diesel’s first major motion picture role! Steven Spielberg himself saw a student film he did and was so impressed he asked him to audition
The way Ryan's mom backs up shakily and sort of collapses on the porch is a small but good bit of physical acting.
Well, Coby. I’ve never seen your channel before. But watching you cry made me cry too. I spent 15 months in combat during the first wave of the 2003 invasion of Iraq. I’ll never forget the look of my mother’s face turning white as she said goodbye to me, not knowing if she would ever see me again. Honestly, I can’t watch war movies by myself. So, watching it with you was kind of different. I have so many emotions going through me right now, but I stuck through it. Please remember that war is not cheap. And I’m not talking about monetary value.
Seeing SPR in the movie theater was such a memorable experience. A huge screen and the best sound system available at that time truly made an impact. So much so that I watched it 4 times, each time with different groups of family and friends. Each time we all left the theater in silence. Just so much to take in.
I've said it before I'll say it again. Coby is a rare breed, beautiful and empathic, the epitomie of a real woman. This film is one of my favourites, the most realistic visceral films you will ever see. The acting as mentioned is pretty much flawless. Great reaction thank you.
It's nice when someone from her generation just gets it when seeing an account like this...even a fictional one.

After watching this movie when it came out… I got a newfound ultimate respect and appreciation for what veterans do and have done. I watch this film every Memorial Day in remembrance for those that have served, gave their lives for our freedom, and those that still serve our country. ❤❤❤❤
From Omaha Beach and the blood red ocean
it's a non-stop barrage of emotion.
Thanks to Coby for sharing
and her kind heart for caring
about a story filled with love and devotion.
This is why war is known as a "meat grinder", as it is literally a numbers game, they only took control of the beach because they had enough bodies to finally attack from all side and positions. War is never pretty, and this movie really hammers that home from the very start.
In part. It also helped that the Germans had done most of their fortification building miles away up the coast where the distance between England and France was shortest. As tough as the fortifications on the invasion beaches were, they were not complete nor in most places fully manned.
Hitler's obsession with Norway kept hundreds of thousands of troops there where they were effectively useless. Likewise his demand to have control over the tanks and other units, and then sleeping in, cost them valuable time.
In the US any school that receives government funding, which is just about all of them including many private schools, is required by law to allow military recruiters access to the students. Personally, I believe recruiting offices should only be permitted in VA hospitals and nursing homes. After a kid has seen the worst that can happen to the ones that were still lucky enough to make it home, then allow them to sign the enlistment form, if they think it's a good idea.
It didn't help that the US military didn't trust "Hobart's Funnies". Major General Percy Hobart was a British officer who pioneered tank warfare. The Germans didn't invent the Blitzkrieg tactic, he did and General Guderian had every paper he published translated into German. He designed a number of modifications specifically for tanks involved in D-Day. The American beaches were a bloodbath but the British and Canadian beaches were much easier going thanks to those tanks.
@@brianeleighton I've also heard that the US command heavily weighted the first wave with troops fresh out of basic training. Not only was it a situation where skill and experience didn't count for much. troops that had a realistic idea what was ahead might well have mutinied.
US intel underestimated the fortifications. The US Navy threw everything at it from Battleship bombardments, rockets, aircraft dropped bombs, etc. Most of the fortifications survived. The armor, which would have made a huge difference, ended up scattered and/or foundered by the time they reached the shore. Only 1 tank made it ashore to its proper location.
Thank you for the heartfelt and transparent reaction…it is painful and sobering and vital to understanding the sacrifices made by our service members.
This is what a reaction video should be…amazing! Thanks Coby for taking us all on this journey with you.
*My father was 28 years Navy. He was a SeaBee in Vietnam and retired CWO4 off the Aircraft Carrier, USS Ranger (CV-61) in 1987. The first time I saw this movie, the opening scene made sick to my stomach. And, of course, the heavy scenes got me in my feels. After it was over, I was chatting online with Dad, and mentioned I'd just watched it, and all he said was, "Oh yea. Good action.". I was GONNA reply, "That ALL you have to say???". Then I remembered hearing about the WWII Vets who were getting triggered by the opening scene, and figured it was best to leave it alone. lol*
Sorry wrong person
This Army veteran tried to walk in the shoes of the amazing men like your father who served even when so many Americans dishonred them upon returning home.
Can Do! to your father, from a Gulf War Veteran SeaBee. Mad respects to those who served before me and their setting the bar so high.
Coby is gonna bawl on this movie. If you guys are hellbent on making her cry I recommend the big boys - The Green Mile and Schindlers List
With a big box of tissues. Both films (Green Mile & Schindler's) are excellent.
They aren't though, this is one of the hardest yet unmissably great films they've had Coby ever watch.
Add Hacksaw Ridge, Letters from Iwo Jima, Je Suis Karl, Marley and Me, Hiachi a dog's tale. Just to start
It’s a crime that this didn’t win best picture the year it released. The Oscars began losing their significance back then, when the truly superior movies were passed over for movies that better promoted “the message”, and other agendas.
Thanks Coby. You’re the best. Seriously…a straightforward, honest, heartfelt reaction. You’re what people look for in a reactor… what makes sitting through a film again that we know is going to be upsetting… because, we know, in all the best ways… it’ll be the way it was for us the first time… and we can again feel what we felt, through you.
I watched this in the cinema as a young Officer, and found it difficult to watch but it portrayed the feelings of a tight band of soldiers and their interaction well. Now after leaving the Army and becoming a school teacher the film is somewhat more relevant to me. Conflict is difficult to deal with, it is your comrades around you that take through it. The peace can be harder when they aren't there when you need them. So thank you for watching this and helping others understand what some have to go through. I now find this movie really hard to watch as it brings back smells and sounds that keep me awake at night, but the horror was completely surpassed by your beauty. So thank you.
Its official..Coby is my goat 🐐 of reaction video!!
She now understands war a little better. At the beginning of the movie she is aghast that they shoot men with their hands up surrendering, by the end of the film she is calling for the man surrendering to be shot.
The only way I can explain it is that no matter how hard this is for me to watch as a combat veteran, and as crazy as it sounds, it feels kind of like a family reunion, reliving the comradery that was left in the combat zone. The flash backs and night terrors it brings back are the pay for reliving so many fond and tragic memories. Nothing helps one to fully appreciate life like enduring death all around you and despite all odds, cheating it for yourself. To watch movies like this refreshes my memory and my memory helps me to refresh my respect for those who gave all. It's hard but it's part of how I deal with it.
Love the content Coby! My late great grandfather, Herbert G Kasch, was a World War II veteran and was a part of the D-Day invasion. He never liked talking to the rest of his family about his experiences at war, but as a young child I do vividly remember one story he did share with us. Him and a few other of his veteran buddies decided to go see this film in theaters when it first came out. He told us that the opening scene of this movie was so realistic, he had to leave the movie theater. He went to the parking lot, sat in his car and cried. Whenever I watch this movie, I can’t help think of the hell those soldiers were put through. June 6th, 1944 was a day that changed the world forever, and the actions and sacrifices all those those men made should never be forgotten
I know it was hard for you to watch it... just imagine how hard it was to live through and experience it. That is why it is so important that we make and watch movies like this, to appreciate and respect what those before and now have done and are doing for us.
My Grampa hardly ever talked about the war (WWII), except for the funny stories, but the one thing he did say (after having a little too much whiskey one night) was that the visuals were not as hard as the smell. So, thankfully we do not have Smellovision.
Never apologize for crying Coby, people appreciate genuine and honest reactions. Besides, I guarantee that you were and are not the only one to do so.
That is why the Oscars are a useless, political award.
I've seen this movie numerous times so I'm somewhat desensitized, but I still cry every time Mrs. Ryan is notified of the 3 sons deaths.
Same. Especially since my dad and his three brothers served during WWII. All made it home, thank goodness.
To my mind it's the most heart wrenching scene ever made.
Cannot begin to tell you how utterly emotional this review was watching your reaction. You are kind,caring, brilliant and talented to pull this off. I will not hesitate subbing you and looking thru other reviews you present.
Thank you so much.
* Great reaction video. You convinced me that you've never seen this movie before. Some people are not always honest about whether they've seen a movie before when reacting to it, but I could tell that this was definitely your first time watching it. I got to talk to a WWII veteran who fought in "The Battle of the Bulge", and I asked him what he thought of "Saving Private Ryan". He did say that he thought it was one of the most accurate war movies he's ever seen, but he said that a person just cannot understand what it's really like, unless you are there.
Coby is very aware of pop culture and movies but she has a gap in actually sitting down and watching certain films so we are quite lucky! She has seen a lot though so we can’t do all the bangers with her.
Great reaction, I am so impressed by your knowledge of the actors. I subbed
I feel like I post this on every Saving Private Ryan reaction... Spielberg held a screening of this movie for the crew and the many technical advisors, many of them D-Day Omaha Beach Veterans. In the middle of the landing scenes, some of the Veterans (men in their 70's and 80's at the time) started walking out. Spieldberg, concerned they hated it, followed them out... To find these old men, crying, shaking, and holding each other, in the lobby. One of them said "I could smell the diesel (from the flamethrower)"... "I can still smell the diesel". More than half a century - and it was just a little too close, too real a memory.
I have lived long enough to remember meeting World War One veterans... and now they are all gone. I will probably live long enough to outlive the last World War Two veterans as well. We need to remember them.
32:00 it's not for the waste that hovarth was hesitating to give more morphine, it's that two morphine doses are fatal. Wade knew he was gonna die, so he asked for the second dose so that he could die off without more pain.
I’ve never wanted to reach into a video and give someone a hug so much before.
Great reaction to a masterpiece.
What those men sacrificed for us can never be repaid so our unending gratitude is all we can give. ❤️
WHY did RUclips make the premiere countdown SO LOUD
Nominated for 11 Oscars including Best Picture but won for:
Best Director
Best Sound Editing
Best Sound Mixing
Best Film Editing
Best Cinematography
Many WWII Veterans who fought on D-Day left the theater from that opening scene.
I had seen this movie at least twice, and yet I spent the entire video crying with you. Thank you for being so emotional and seeing things as they are. Thank you for being you.
Jeremy Davies (Upham) was of course cast partly because his character had to know French and German. In any case, he did the role well.
his first big break was in Spanking the Monkey, which deals in incest. Then there was Ravenous, which deals in cannibalism. Plus a few "fun" roles like Twister.
This film should destroy you. "Earn this!" is not just Captain Miller's message to Private Ryan, it’s a message to all of us to never forget the sacrifices of so many to give us the freedoms we enjoy. My grandfather was part of the second wave to hit this beach and saw the carnage in real life. My father was a highly decorated LRRP team leader in Vietnam. I served during Desert Storm. This film is the best depiction of 20th Century warfare. Another film I highly recommend is "Glory"(1988). It’s based on the letters and history of Colonel Robert Shaw of the 54th Massachusetts during the United States Civil War. The 54th was one of the first regiments of 100% colored soldiers and the film is very accurate.
Loved your commentary. You became quickly invested because you knew the actors and said how you wished they would not die in the movie. It was easy to see how you soon became invested in the characters they played and what they were going through, and how emotional you got when some of them died.
Beyond all of that though, I appreciate the fact that you recognized how people so different in their normal lives can become "teammates and brothers and family" in a time of war, and will fight together for "a bigger cause, and better mission and wanting to get home."
During my tours in Iraq and Afghanistan, we never talked about how we were there to keep America safe or about fighting for freedom. We only knew that we wanted everyone on our Team to go home together. That man walking next to you was the mission.
Thanks for this video.
I watched this movie when it came out. I was stationed in Germany at the time and watched it in a German theater with Germans. The movie was in English. The manager spoke to the audience before the movie and said that this movie is extremely realistic with the violence, especially the first 30 minutes. This movie is important because it is our shared history, however if after the first 30 minutes if you feel that you cannot watch the violence then come to the front desk and we will give you a refund.
What was the reaction of a German audience?
@HouTexHemi the Germans I watched it with were emotional as the rest of us. At the time, this movie was the most realistic war movie in showing what war and bullets and tank rounds do to someone who is hit by them. None got up and left that I remember. Everyone was in awe at the realism that the film showed. Everyone was very quiet when it was over. Dead silence. Watching it in the theater felt like you were on the beach with them.
@HouTexHemi also, as someone who lived in Europe for over 10 years off and on, the European society is way more mature than the society it the US. Most Europeans who are alive today, great grandparents and grandparents, and parents saw their cities destroyed in two separate world wars. They watched war right in front of them for a century. Only the war veterans in the US have seen war, except for refugees that have come here. The Europeans are extremely mature as a society because of their history.
The sniper wouldn't shoot him again. That's not how snipers work. For one thing, a wounded man occupies two or three others to help him. A dead man occupies no one. And a wounded man may draw out others who won't come out for a dead man.
Call of Duty experience?
Coby, I enjoyed your reaction… I saw this movie during Army Basic Training in 1999, a year after it came out. Our First Sergeant was a Vietnam veteran who was about to retire from active duty, and he told us that real life combat is ten times worse than they make it look in the movies, but he also appreciated this movie’s realism. He said he thought all Soldiers should watch this movie, and I’ve re-watched it countless times in the past 24 years. I’m glad I got to watch it again with you today 😊
Coby, you are the first reacter to mention It would be tough for those who served to watch this. I have a story in that regards. I saw this in a theater in a town just a short ways from a Veterans Home. The day I chose was a Wednesday, no one goes to matinee on Wednesday. This Wednesday a contingent of Veterans bussed in to watch I the movie. They didn’t make it passed the Omaha beach landing. I watched grown men go into full PTSD episodes. It never leaves them. It’s a scene I will never forget. I have nothing but the utmost respect for those who serve to protect us.
"Earn this" - two words every American should remember when thinking about those souls who gave their lives to defend and protect freedom and democracy.
us brits also share that sentiment
@@itzbp9949 Didn't mean to leave you out but the list would have been huge. ✌
@@Filboid2000 i know what you meant. I was just sharing that sentiment
@@itzbp9949 To be honest with you, you folks more so than us colonists - you were staring annihilation in the teeth for about two years until the Japanese were kind enough to invite us to the party . . . much to their chagrin.
@@Filboid2000 that's very true. This country got battered by the nazis for 3 years. Bombs after bombs and we were losing. Had the us not joined we probably would've lost
Lets give credit to *Coby* for sharing her emotions that's brave within itself, the internet can be a harsh place. Let's also shout out she's wearing camo pants...
Matt Damon's story about his brother's was totally improvised, crazy!
The Oscars lost all credibility by not awarding this the best film and giving it to Shakespeare in Love, not because it was a bad film, but because this is one of the greatest pieces of film ever created.
You need to watch Schindler’s List.
Watch with a case of kleenix. There is a HBO movie to watch before Schindler list call Conspiracy
The acting incredible by everyone & casted perfectly Spielberg is a genius this was him at the peak of his powers.
My grandfather was in the war. The only thing he ever told us about it was "war is hell." This stuff is brutal enough to watch. I'm so thankful that I haven't had to live through it myself, and the tremendous respect I have for the men who did cannot be appropriately stated.
It made me feel inadequate. Thank god there’s men like that with the grit and fortitude to preserve and protect our way of life.
Thanks for not hating on Upham as many reactors do, which is totally missing the point of the character. The last thing Spielberg intended was for us to hate Upham.
Oh I still am disgusted by Upham.
@genghisgalahad8465 is Millers fault for bring Upham along all I say is get him more Trained Trained or Don't Bring Him if he is going to act like that
@@genghisgalahad8465 Upham heightens the film's realism. Not everyone is able to turn into Sgt. Rock on command.Many soldiers froze with fear at a crucial moment and were haunted by it for the rest of their lives.
After a few more happy movies Coby needs to see Hacksaw Ridge. A brutal but incredibly inspirational movie that was downplayed because his heroics wouldn't have been believed.
Downplayed, up-played, played upside-down and sideways… Mel will do anything to manipulate viewers and force his agenda.
As a Marine Corps veteran, I cannot watch this movie without balling my eyes out. The sacrifice our forefathers made for us and the rest of the world is underrated and not enough people are educated on it. War isn't hell, its WORSE than hell, because the wicked and the innocent are punished equally.
When this movie released in theaters, actual WWII vets left the theater because it was so realistic that it was too upsetting to watch.
When this movie premiered, many WW2 veterans had to leave the theater, because of the authenticity. I have nothing but respect, for these men, who gave everything to protect us from a Dictator.
This film drains anyone that watches it. Coby, you deserve a month of comedies, If you'd like to stick with Hanks, I suggest 'Big' or 'Spash'.
The ‘burbs
The Terminal
It's ok Coby. These men shed their blood for us and our country. So it's certainly ok for you to shed your tears for them. May God continue to protect our men and women in uniform.
This is the first video I’ve ever seen of yours. The fact that you knew Tom Sizemore, Barry Pepper, Giovanni Ribisi, and Dennis Farina instantly and by name and that Heat is one of your favorite movies is awesome! You have excellent taste! Subscribed!
I watched this film at the theater. There was an older gentleman sitting with his family about two rows behind me. He cried through the entire movie. It was clear that he had first hand experience with WWII. It made the film that much more intense and poignant. I'm a fan of war movies and this was by far the most realistic depiction I've ever seen. It was a difficult film to watch, but an artistic masterpiece.
This cast is stacked!! Some were unknowns at the time getting their 1st break. Speilberg knows how to pic em
That’s why Damon was cast too. Then this little movie, probably never heard of it, called Good Will Hunting, that came out. Made him a household name. 😅
What hits so hard about the 2 “German” soldiers who were surrendering is they actually weren’t German. They were speaking Polish and begging for their lives, saying they weren’t Nazis. They were representative of what happened to many in the Polish army in that they were forced to serve the Nazi war machine or face certain death. The reason we don’t get subtitles for this scene is the movie was to draw in the audience into this scene as much as possible, giving them an inkling of what it would’ve been like to be these soldiers. I actually didn’t know this fact until recently when I watched a very good video about this very scene (my deepest apologies to the person who made the video as it’s been a few years and I don’t remember who did it). But yes, war is hell and without an interpreter near by there’s no way anyone would know what they were saying.
Lmao, you mean Czech. They were speaking Czech. And very much not from Poland
