Watching so many people who have no clue what or where d day was is disturbing. The ignorance is real
The truly shocking ignorance of these assholes is hard to believe. They dishonour these great men with their lack of knowledge. The American school system should hang its head in shame
Yep, especially since it's Dday+1
This was something I learned at an early age only due to my family being involved and part of the major wars. When this came out it really didn't faz me due to already knowing the horrors of war and this event. Our schools systems just glaze over these war turning events and never get in depth. It's not super so many people don't know why and how these significant events happened or how violent they actually were. War is hell and there are no rules.
Chicago reacts seemed especially dumb
Instead of teaching school kids American history they are teaching them crt and how to be a trans.
"Is this based on a true story?"
And this, ladies and gentlemen, is the reason why we need proper history lessons. Why we need to remember!
I am German, we here in Europe are surrounded by the scars my country caused in the past: Cemeteries for soldiers and prisoners of all sides, slave labourers and civilian casualties. Ruins of civilian buildings, work camps and military sites. Places of victims and places of perpetrators. It's all here around us.
Germans, French, Polish... we are all taught to remember. Because we owe it to the victims of the senseless wars fought on the soil we walk on today in order to not let those things happen again.
It is based on a similar story about a mother that lost 3 sons. Turns out one of them was actually alive and escaped from a POW camp.
Bro, we can teach them history all you want, those people just don’t listen or retain anything. I remember that we actually learned about WW2 and especially the Holocaust twice. Once in the first year, again I the second, and had an almost whole two week dedication to each. Yet these same people are surprised at things like Schindler’s list.
This. We should never forget our past, because how else would we know how we got here?
I am an amateur historian and a storyteller. I'm not angry at the reactions of so many of these people who are demonstrating that they have no understanding of the history of this time. ("Bullet-proof vests"?) I'm not even really dismayed. I am so sad at how we've failed to educate our people, at how we've managed to miss the mark with our storytelling, that this level of ignorance -- and I use that word not in an insulting way, but just as an accurate description of the lack of knowledge -- has been allowed to stand. "Saving Private Ryan" shocked moviegoers when it released, with its unyielding brutal realism. No, it wasn't perfect in terms of pinpoint accuracy, but it conveyed the *story*. And in service to that goal, we can forgive much. I hope to have an opportunity to tell the stories of this time, both on the battlefields, and more importantly on the home fronts, so that we can be more diligent in our pursuit of peace. Because when we fail to remember the horrific nature of war, it is too easy to get sucked into the idea that it is somehow glorious.
Those first couple of waves of US Troops that landed on Omaha Beach suffered terribly.In fact General Bradley contemplated abandoning the landings there,as the slaughter was so bad.As someone who’s walked those d day beaches,I’m amazed those American soldiers were able to take that beach.EVERYTHING was loaded in favour of the Germans.It’s such a haunting place Omaha,because you know what happened there and you know how close the Americans came to being defeated on that beach.Saving Private Ryan captured the landing and the slaughter there perfectly.
My great grandfather was a German machine gunner during dday he survived when the US took over the beach and was a prisoner of war. My grandparents told me he said he couldn't believe how much bravery those men had who stormed Normandy that day. He had a lot of respect for those men and he was treated well while a prisoner of war. in his journal that I still have he wrote in German "for every 1 German that died that day 20 Americans died nay God bless them all"
Unbelievable heroism on D-Day ! They were mostly kids and they saved the world. 🙏🏻🌹
Absolutely!
The chick from Chicago didn’t get the final scene. It was a metaphor for all of us not just Pvt Ryan. “Earn their sacrifice”
Yep, she is an awful POS.
It was also a way to aleviate the survivors guilt he knew he was going to feel, "if you live a good life then it was worth the sacrifice to send you home and that's how my men and I all feel, do that and we didn't die in vein". It's a simple enough request that came at a massive personal cost to Miller and his squad. But then I don't expect everyone from this self entitled generation to get it really. It's disappointing, but understandable.
To me it was much worse that she didn't have a clue of on what continents the ww2 took place. I mean I get it if you don't remember the battles and shit if you aren't a history buff but come on. You can't fucking understand that the normandy landing didn't take place in US??!?!? I know that US kinda stole the glory of D-day and still she can't fucking remember that. xD
“Earn this” was not only meant for Private Ryan, but for us, the succeeding generations. The cemeteries seen at the beginning and end of the movie are real places, the final resting place for the remains of men who died to rid the world of a monstrous tyranny. Captain Miller is telling us to make the future world worth the sacrifice of their lives.
23:21 This Chicago girl really pissed me off with her remarks here. "This is your deathbed; you don't need to tell somebody how to live their life." Get off your damn soapbox, lady. The point of this film obviously went straight over her head. The phrase "Earn this" was for the AUDIENCE, being told through Ryan. The film was showing younger generations a glimpse of the reality of that war and telling them to "Earn" a life worthy of the sacrifice of so many of these young men. " _You don't need to tell somebody how to live their life_ ." *F off*
Thanks for the great compilation! I saw this film originally in theaters, have watched it multiple times since, and several of the scenes still put a lump in my throat. I intend to watch only a few minutes of this, but ended up staying for the entire video. The reactions of most of these people brought back my memories from theater back in the 90s. It was one thing to watch documentaries and read books about the invasion of Normandy. It was something completely different to see this glimpse of it portrayed in such masterful fashion. Much thanks again.
Just checked their channel, and the reaction video for Saving Private Ryan is no longer there. They either privated or deleted that video. I'm sure that it had nothing to do with people reacting to this idiot girl's comments. She's the same one who thought that Omaha Beach was in Nebraska @ 2:27
You are very welcome, and thank you for subscribing.
We'll update the description to note the video has been deleted.
She figured out Omaha Beach was not in Nebraska because of sand. She hasn't the foggiest idea of what is going on and maybe should "Google it". A little knowledge goes a long way.
Yep, she is an awful POS.
Lady Chicago is someone who will just never understand...........and that is more sad then anything displayed in this movie
Yep, she is an awful POS.
23:22 - 23:48 I would just like to apologize on behalf of every viewer and humanity... I'm so sorry that you had to hear such profound nonsense, disrespect and lack of understanding. Every time that chick opened her mouth, I just went 🤦♂️
There's always that one person that has to be upset about nothing. That was her.
Steven Spielbergs message is simple. This is the sacrifice that was made. Have you earned it?..
To the Chicago Lady, Capt. Miller absolutely had the right to tell Ryan to earn what was given to him. The life that Ryan was being given was paid for in blood and Ryan was obligated to live his life as best he could in return.
Awful human being.
Oh my God some of these reactions. Especially the American ones. We really got to fix our educational system
Yeah, not gonna lie
They know and they learn....but they do not understand until they see this scene.
"Omaha" was the codeword for that beach Princess.
Yeah, clearly a lot of things about this movie didn't compute with that divas lack of understanding.
Yep, she is an awful POS.
"Who are you, that do not know your history?" - Fallout: New Vegas.
Nearly 60 year old Aussie here. When I went to Europe on holiday in 2012, I spent several days in France visiting all of the Normandy battlefields...swam out into the ocean at dawn at Omaha Beach and waded ashore...trying to get the tiniest idea of what that must have been like.
And much like Sgt. Horvath in the movie, I collected a jar of sand from the beach at Dog Green Sector...and brought it back home with me.
Of course most young people would not know what this is like in the 21st century.
But their descendants will.
Saving Private Ryan and Schindler's List should be required viewing in every senior year high school history class. That being said, I won't hold my breath.
I'd add Hacksaw Ridge too.
Can anyone miss the point more than Chicago? One of the best lines ever, “earn this.” Get a clue Chicago.
So, the chick for Chicago Reacts is a sharp one huh.
Yep, she is an awful POS.
Veterans of WW2 who were there watching the Premiere of this movie, most broke down crying within the first 10 minutes, most left as it was so realistic and brought back so many memories. They called it the most accurate depiction of what is was like in WW2
The one guy said he would have liked to be able to watch this in the theater when it came out, and that most people at the time probably didn’t know what actually went on until they saw it. No dude, we actually learned about D Day and WWII in school because we weren’t completely preoccupied with social media and identity politics. It’s shocking how little this generation knows about history.
It’s crazy that some of these people don’t realize this is a realistic depiction of the D-Day landings during WW2. It was also a skeleton crew defending the beach. If they were fully manned, this would’ve been worse.
I remember seeing this in theaters at 14 and a lot of veterans were in the theater. All of them cried, and a bunch had to walk out because their flashbacks were too real. Some of them talked about smelling the diesel fuel and other things. I was still a kid so the gravity never really set in until I was much older.
Omaha, Nebraska? Are you kidding me? We are so screwed as a species.
Welcome to D-day, on Omaha beach, June 6, 1944, if u have a grandfather who is still around and he severed, please thank him and hug him
These reactions are more of an indictment of our educational system than it is about the movie quality. "Going in blind" movie reactions are great for most movies but for movies like this, that deal with real life events and people, a bit of pre-watch research would show some respect to those who lived and died in the war. It would help avoid statements like "why didn't they wear bullet proof vests" and "did this take place in Omaha, Nebraska" and "is this based on real events".
Yes the imfamous naval invasion of Omaha, Nebraska...
😂 great comment
The girl in the bandanna was so stupid, it was sad..
This is why history is soooo important!!! History isn't just places and dates in time, it's about the people who shaped and influenced history
Learning about the past, can help us understand the present.
Can't believe how many people missed how the medic was killed.
His wounds are from shrapnel, hence the multiple entry wounds.
Pay attention to when the translator is observing the assault on the MG42 position. He makes it to under the arch of fire.
He throws a grenade towards the mg position. You'll see a German catch the grenade in mid flight and throw it back. It explodes mortality wounding the medic.
That's how closely one must watch and how many small accurate details Spielberg infused into this movie.
Even the scene when they execute the two defenders on the top of the bluff. They are not speaking German but Czecholovician. This is because there was a construction battalion there on D Day.
The first twenty minutes of this movie, showing troops reaching the heights above the beach and disabling the bunkers, actually took six hours in real life.
My love and respect to each and every soldier who fought so I could be free...
23:18 It's fun to watch someone trying to rationalize and judge a person's last words.
"Why open it from the front" just blew my mind
Opening it from the back meant the men would have to swim in their heavy gear. The landing craft should have moved closer to the beach. Hoping for a rapid climb up the beach would have been easier, if the beaches had been blasted by cruisers and battleships better. The air force (Army Air Corps at that time) was assigned to other tasks apparently.
The 'critics' of this movie calling some moments 'too hollywood' never knew that a lot of the singular events that were depicted grew from hundreds of stories Spielberg heard from talking to literally hundreds of veterans over the years. Documents from 1944 reveal that the allies expected 10 times the casualty rate. More recently, from German maps of their defences and then using lidar technology they digitally mapped that area of Omaha beach. The amount of firepower the Germans had covering just that one section, its an absolute miracle anyone made it off that beach alive.
@@Leax-ee7rq I was not talking about anything tactical or military accuracy. The guy looking for his arm, the guy taking off his helmet and then getting shot in the head etc. The Steamboat Willie story had a purpose which worked perfectly in the context of the story.
@@Leax-ee7rq READ WHAT I SAID. Which you have not. I am not disagreeing with you. I explained why that bit was in the movie. It was most definitely not depicting what soldiers would generally do at that point in the war AND in a forward position with quite fluid front lines and weapons strewn all over the place.
The amount of people people watching the beginning of the movie and not knowing what is happening is too damn high. For real, is history even a thing in school anymore?
The saddest part about watching this when you have studied WW2 is realising that most of the people dies were teenagers who lied about their age to join the war and fight for their country. It sickens me that so many people don’t even know where this battle took place
I'm with you
For anyone interested, there are 3 Graveyards in France, British,Canadian & American.
The French that live in the Country of France have adopted the Headstones, not only is that Graveyard/Memorial humbling, its Immaculate, much like in America Parisians have forgotten, but the Countryside of France remembers the Sacrifices of Americans.
Who were also fighting the Japanese who attacked us.
No one has sacrificed more for total Strangers than the American Soldier.
Vilified as an Occupier, but Goes Home.
They are Liberators, not Occupiers.
Not far from Omaha Beach in France there is a cemetery for the dead German soldiers as well. While the cemetery is well kept, the bodies are all interred in vaults above ground. The French did not want the Germam soldiers buried in French soil.
Maybe it wasn't necessary ...
However, Japan's position is the same as this line of Rambo.
『They drew first blood, not me.』…
🔷 May 3, 1946 (Showa 21), in Tokyo.
Former US President Herbert Hoover and Supreme Commander of the Allied Powers MacArthur discussed "what exactly was the Pacific War" for three days.
At that time, Hoover said something that no Japanese would have thought of ...
"The Pacific War is not a war started by Japan.
That American "madman Roosevelt" Caused a war between Japan and the United States.
It's not a mental illness to say that he is crazy,
He really wanted to go to war ...
The result of that desire was the US-Japan War. "
Upon hearing the words, MacArthur clearly agreed ...
⬛Stop the expression sneak attack!
Japan has been observing the world situation well since the Edo period
From Japan's point of view,
they are the thieves who borrowed the names of missionaries and trade.
Japan was dangerous about the desire to control foreign powers
Their purpose is to squeeze, take over, and finally enslave Japan's property.
The content that was being discussed in the US Congress was exactly the same as the sense of crisis in Japan.
It just made it dangerous for Russia's reddening (communism) to move south ...
that is because security for Japan and its neighbors
Why do they believe in such stupid recommendations from the United Nations to Japan,
stigmatization as invaders or war criminals, their wearing justice masks?
I don't know what it means ...
I'd like to give a bad impression that Japan started a war with Russia,
but there should have been no crime that "started a war" under international law at that time ...
Such a thing was made by the United States to judge Japan ...
The United States is still
"Remember ○○ Remember ○○"
America doing big war business by advertising that ...
You guys aren't qualified to talk about Japan. 😊

@@derekweiland1857 Wow I didn’t know that! Thank you for posting!
Roughly 10,000 Allied troops died that day. Soldiers who landed on those beaches could not get off the beach for 6 hours, or more. They said that the real beaches had a lot more bodies on them. These men were our fellow Americans. The in theater reaction was silence. several minutes after the film and credits ended, the audience was still in their seats, in silence. That is what happens when people see a REAL war. Many veterans who watched the movie in the theater had to walk out during the first several minutes.
My US history teacher in high school (older guy), after explaining WWII & D-Day, made everybody watch this in class, and then made a point to drive home - this is what your grandfathers/great-grandfathers were doing / forced to do when they were your age, so that you can have the life you have today. Understand how awful war is, be thankful for the lives you have, & be grateful to them. He was an older teacher, and as times changed, I remember younger parents started complaining like Karens "How dare you make my child uncomfortable?". Maybe should've made them watch it too.
We watched it in high school in Canada and learned extensively about both world wars. That was about a decade ago though
I had a grandfather that was in Omaha beach and lived unit 94 years old. Even thought I never see him in person I'm proud to have him as my war hero and may we have peace to all people and nations amen.
WW2 was the biggest event in mankinds history, the fact that some of these people watching (and no doubt countless millions around the world) are seemingly ignorant of this event, beach names, locations, casualties etc is simply shameful. How did we allow our society to become so detached from what happened?
They were the greatest generation. Now it’s the worst generation.
Wow…the ignorance of basic history is disheartening.
I agree, but it's one reason we watch reactors right? How ignorant or knowledgeable are they?
Agree
Feels a little disrespectful . A lot of men/kids died that day
i could show you movies about several devastating wars that took place in foreign countries that aren't Europe and i doubt any of you would have heard of them. Hypocrites.
Saw this in the theatre and there were Normandy veterans sitting beside us and behind us.
They cried and we cried with them.
Chicago reacts needs to understand history!
Really, where the hell did she hear that d-day happened in fucking Nebraska.... She's not even sure if it even happens in Europe..
totally amazing how uninformed the young people are today...lots don't even know D Day actually happened and this was a very real depiction of D Day
Sad that more people know how we killed the Death Star versus how WWII was fought.
It doesn't matter how many times I watch this film I can't help but get emotional. We are reminded of a generation that fought for what they believed in and their countries. How many young people today would volunteer themselves for their country...not many. We will never get a generation like this again as we are spoilt and have no appreciation for our life.
"i didn't pay too much attention in history class". No shit? You don't say. I'm sure those who bled and died in agony to give you the freedom you have today, appreciate your indifference. I seriously don't have enough pejoratives to call you.
"I kinda wish I was there.....in theaters" lol
Anyone with Girl Boss cup is oxymoron.
A friend died earlier this year, he was 98. He was a combat engineer in the first wave on Omaha Beach, we saw the movie together, he said that's how he remembered it.
Thank you so much for including me, that was very kind of you.
You are very welcome.
Thousands of young men trained for D-Day and were killed or wounded before they even fired a shot, that was the entire war for them. They are all heroes, they died so others could carry on.
As a German, I'm shocked like you about the ignorance of young Americans. As if the sacrifices of their ancestors never happend.😮
My father-in-law was in the 82nd Airborne & jumped in behind enemy lines the night before the landings. My father was a gunner on B-29 bomber in the Pacific & survived a emergency landing & a 2nd crash ocean landing above & beyond all their missions over Japan. I had great admiration for both of them; but after seeing the Omaha landing scene in Saving Private Ryan I realized both of them had a form of bravery & courage far beyond anything I could comprehend & I had served 7 years in the 101st Airborne. While neither father would talk about their experiences much at all it was the greatest honor of my life to be the son of Earl Wilson & the son-in-law of John Folks.
Some of them are completely clueless about ww2. Too bad Thanks for the compilation
You are very welcome.
One couple that reacted said , "o Abraham Lincoln was the president." Geniuses. 🙄
I believe that's why there called the Greatest generation.
Door opens. MG 42 mows down 10 guys.
"wait, has the war started?"
Sorry, that one cracked me u.
"They didn't teach this in history." so sad.
This is the price others paid for your freedom. Honor them all living and passed. The greatest generation.
The “metal things” at the beginning are called hedgehogs meant to prevent landing crafts and armored vehicles from making it up the beach
Yeah, "How did they get there? Did they drop them from the air"! You got to be fucking kidding me! Really?
70,000,000+ people died during WWII. Let that sink in. Let’s hope history doesn’t repeat itself.
if its world war 3 its the end of the current human civilization even if you dont get hit by nukes good luck surviving in a nuclear fallout
I'm struggling horribly to get an achievement in a game to destroy 1 million enemy robots even after grinding day after day doing nothing but mowing down entire hordes of them, and I'm still not even a quarter of the way there, and that's with a requirement of just 1 million. The fact that _70×_ that amount died in a single war is just so mind numbingly horrific that it wraps all the way back round to just being incomprehensible to me
Those men on that day are some of the most brave men that have ever lived...as a vet myself i could not imagine what these warriors went through...god bless these men
RIP Tom Sizemore.
there's not a big enough F for him...may he rest in peace
All my father said was " I jumped in the water, lost my helmet, got to the beach and ran like Hell".
Some of these reactors make me remember how bad the US education really is.
I couldnt have said it any better myself. This is what we need to show in school so that this new generation knows the price we paid so they can be totally ignorant to everything.
The great World War of Omaha, Nebraska
@@brandonhill2183 I'm pretty damn sure they don't even know there's an Omaha in Nebraska.
I disagree. Most of these people who don't care about history had parents who didn't care about history either. Or school in general in fact. You can lead a horse to water but you can't make them drink. My fellow teachers and I are still fighting the good fight. We'd appreciate your support.
I thought the most moving scene at the end that got to me is when he asked his wife if he has been a good man.
That scene killed me
"Have I been a good man? Have I led a good life?" You see Chicago, Ryan realized that day on the bridge that he lived because others died for him and he was going to honor their memory by trying to do just that. When he found Capt. Miller's gravesite he told "I remember what you said on the bridge that day and I have been trying to do what you asked(not exactly but close)". He had not told his family about Capt. Miller and the rest of the platoon so when they saw him react the way that he did it was surprising to them. Then he asked his wife. "Have I been a good man? Have I led a good life?" because he wanted Capt. Miller to hear her response and hopefully payback Capt. Miller a little bit for the opportunity his death and all the rest in the platoon's sacrifices for him gave him to lead a normal life. It was important to him to pay back in a small way. Today's youth have never had to sacrifice at all and wouldn't understand that Warrior Code.
How comes many of the American and European don't know about D day Or omaha Beach and all.. Very shame I'm an Indian but we know all those history
They are no longer taught history. Not the history they should be taught anyway. Too many students complained that learning about the atrocities of ww2 was bad for their psyche. I was going to be a history teacher and watching these people is depressing.
@@tabby6284 That’s simply not true at all. This is all in the curriculum and legally required to be taught. Ever considered they simply don’t remember it?
For those of you who do not know. Normandy France. June 6th, 1944. To Liberate the French from Nazi Rule.
This, is what your Grandfather and you're Great Grandfather , went through at the age of teenager to late 20's. It was a horrible nightmare.
400,000 American Military Men and Women, died for our Freedom. They deserve our Respect.
The Greatest Generation of our age.
Amen, absolutely!!!
I know a teacher who sometimes shows the first 15 minutes of this film to his class of 'Alternate School students'. The classes include violent 'punks' and so on. Gang members some times. A few may be yapping at the start, but after a minute the students become silent.
Not trying to be critical, but this is why Americans are very protective of veterans and history. All of it is brutal.
That chick that thought Omaha beach was in Nebraska has finally broken me. I fought the good fight until the end. Goodbye cruel world. 💀💀💀
This is what we combat Marines call a "mad moment".
I watched a video of Green Berets reviewing the opening, and they said it would have been a tough mission.
"Sometimes it is better to be thought a fool, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt."
“Omaha Nebraska “.
God help us
Right? I'm 60 and we learned that in elementary school, "D" day that is.

To everyone asking what the metal things tom hanks is hiding behind are, They are called hedgehogs. The landings were at low tide. At high tide they are covered by water and when the landing craft come in they hit them and they rip the bottom open and sink the landing craft and drown the soldiers.
My mom warned my sister and I before we saw this movie that this movie had the most intense opening scene ever. She was not wrong. I was just shocked at how very intense it was. I was crying within the first like 5-10 minutes of the movie. I cry in tons of movies but I don’t usually start crying in the first scene. This movie had me crying with the first scene and then on and off for the entire movie. It was such a good movie. The acting was phenomenal, the sets were so good, the soundtrack was moving and beautiful, the realistic depiction of what war really is and how it effects people was all shown beautifully, respectfully and heartbreakingly in this movie
I am simply blown away by the lack of education some people receive. Is this real ....
Nelson - My grampa was gassed in WW1. As a kid, a neighbor had jumped with 82nd airborne on D-Day. My dad was with the tanks in North Africa. My brother was on a carrier off Viet Nam. My son was in the Gulf in 2004.
Nothing ever prepared my for this opening scene.
This movie educated everyone who has never been there. War is hell.
You my friend, misunderstood me. I'm asking why people are asking if this was real. I am a history buff, I dive into history and I learn from it. Don't look at me like I am asking. Sounds like you have a rich history. Unfortunately you brought attention to the wrong source when you, above everyone, should be asking why people are asking if this is real. My apologies for making you feel like I was ignorant, dumb or just slow minded.
@@nelsonrobinson6963 Nope. My post was not really directed to you at all. But just to the general audience.
Let us remember this was only one beach where allied forces landed on June 6, 1944. Allied forces landed on five different locations across 50 miles of the Normandy coast line. Also airborne units were dropped behind the lines.
The movie only covers Omaha beach (one of the American sectors) where they suffered approximately 2400 casualties. For all those reacting or viewing this video remember America was not the only country involved on D-Day. The main countries participating in the landings were America, the United Kingdom and Canada. Other allied countries who participated in the invasion were Australia, Belgium, Czechoslovakia, France, Greece, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway and Poland. Total D-Day casualties were estimate at 10,000 with close to 4500 dead. Anyone today who lives free owes these young men a debt of gratitude. If not for their bravery the world would be a very different place.
The message I get from this movie is live every moment to the fullest and don’t squander gift we were given.
the fireworks comment is accurate. My uncle served in the pacific in WW2 and you didn't dare use fireworks anywhere near him. we were working in his yard one summer and a kid riding his bike ran a stick along the wooden fence across the street and before I realized what was happening, he had grabbed me and both of us were lying on the ground behind a bush. you may leave the war but the war never leaves you.

@@tatumergo3931 He never, ever mentioned what he experienced were there. My aunt told me to never ask to remind him of his war years. She only said he had nightmares and to keep my questions to myself.
What makes Wade's scene so much more impactful is the realization that he knows he is not going to make it and ask for a fatal dose of morphine. Those syrettes are filled with 0.5 grains per 1.5 mL of morphine tartrate which is about 32 mg. A normal dose is 10-20 mg. He also is experiencing massive blood loss too. Two full syrettes could kill a healthy individual, let alone someone hemorrhaging out.
BEST comment that I have read amongst a sea of imbecilic, faux-patriotic retrumpliQans.
I appreciate the previous comments but would like to add that although there is story somewhat parallels the true story of a Private Nyland and returning him home after his brothers died in war, the main point of this story is that Private Ryan is a metaphor for us all. Service men and women all went into the utter brutality and gruesomeness of war and gave their young lives to defend us all and the generations to come.
to all people who does not know, this happened in real life, this was in world war 2, when the joined forces of canada, us and uk invaded the beach in normandy france to take back europe from the nazi, this was the 1st stage in taking back europe, there were 5 groups in this attack called Utah , Omaha , Gold , Juno and Sword and 1 of them is group omaha . omaha beach is not a place, it's part of the attack from the 5 groups and the omaha beach attack was the hardest 1 since it is where the majority of germans are stationed compared to the other groups. the germans have set up traps in the water to cripple enemy boats so they chose to land during low tide thus they need to face a 300 yards of open beach just for them to get to the shore where the germans are stationed. this attack lasted for a total of 11 hours just on the beach alone. 11 weeks later, they were successful in taking back france and the road to berlin was clear.
The ignorance of history is astounding. I watched a reaction to "Gladiator", and the young woman stated, "oh, this must take place in the olden times". Olden times? God how we've failed our youth.
Whats crazy about the first scene is that in reality, the length of beach that the American troops had to traverse was at least 3 times as long as what the movie is depicting. Much of it with very few spots to take cover.
All gave some, some gave all!!!
It is a terrible tragedy that a lot of these people have no clue that this really happened and that because of this they have the freedoms that they take for granted!!! I’ve never seen a group of people so disconnected of the history of D Day so alarming☮️☮️☮️
Ask Americans to find countries on a world map.
They often can't find even the basics.
“How am I supposed to love after that?” That’s how I felt watching this movie. It’s such a powerful, moving, amazing movie and when it was over I had spent most of the movie crying and my face was covered in tears. It is unlike any movie I have ever seen.
How? Love all the more.
And somehow, some way, this picture lost best picture to "Shakespeare in Love"
Hollywood hasn't recognised the military since John Ford was making movies.
That year both this and Life is Beautiful came out.
Today, we still go to war for stupid goals.
We forget stuff too easily because we don't think it's a good topic to casually talk.
I watched both movies alongside others at 14, I had an awesome teacher luckily. In Italy usually when you grew up usually you are told a lot of stories about ww2. Especially my region, stories about bombing, resistance, fighting, war crimes,...
The ww2 generation is slowly dying and it's our duty to keep the memory alive.
I really feel sorry for some of these youngsters no idea history is lost on them
There is no history to them. Nothing happened until their birth.
2 things. 1) D-Day veterans who screened this in the theater said the only thing missing was the smell. It caused severe PTSD reactions. 2) German gunners. Said they started the invasion with 5000 rounds per gun...and ran out....and they still kept coming. So the Germans just ran.
This movie is fucking brutal. But that’s what makes it so good. You get a glimpse of what those men were facing.
I was more shocked by the ignorance of those watching the opening scenes than the scenes themselves. Just about the most important day in 20th. Century history (anniversary yesterday) and it seems like news, fiction or both to these people. Unbelievable. Too stressful to watch after 4 minutes.
The horror....
That young lady who was confused about Omaha Beach... lovely lady, but her History teacher totally failed her, or she ignored whatever he/she was teaching, because that is next-level ignorance right there.
She failed herself.
02:29 She can't be serious. She thought the Normandy invasion happened at Omaha Nebraska? WTF?!?!?!?!?!.
That woman is a certifiable cretin who also probably thinks the Earth is flat, contrails are a government conspiracy, and that white privilege exists.
The uploader took down the video im guessing because of the woman's stupidity lmao
Chicago public schools are dumpster fires.
@@Shlankyman545 really? That bad?
The Chicago millennial is so typical of that generation. Don’t make him feel guilty…
Ya I was thinking the same thing people to day are not built the same… moral of the story don’t waist your life be great at something
To the differences from Chicago reacts, France would not let them use those beaches, so that was filmed in Ireland and the people who lost limbs were people with prosthetics from the local area.
Oh? I randomly saw this in my mentions page. Thank you for mentioning my channel 😊
You are very welcome.
As a veteran this movie touched me hard…..at the end when he turns to his wife and tells her to tell him he has been a good man…..I just lost it….gets me every single time…
