“how accurate” the opening D Day scene is can be summed up to every ww2 veteran walking out of the theatre because it induced ptsd panic attacks, and the opening 20-30 min sequence being considered the most accurate war recreation in movie history

[@MFBloosh]

It's so accurate that literally the only inaccurate things in that scene are nitpicky. For example, the barricades are places the wrong way around. Another one is that the German's are holding the trigger down on their MGs instead of tapping it. Holding the trigger down and firing all those rounds at once would make the barrel melt in real life. Other than that, everything is perfectly done in that scene.

[@janescribner8258]

D-Day veterans remarked that the only thing that was missing was the smell. Horrifying.

[@DuxtheWanderer]

To add on to this, the version of this scene isn't even the original version. The original version that was screen played for testing to veterans was much more grotesque. gory, terrifying, etc. The veterans said they didn't want the public and their families to see how bad it was. It was this original version that elicited such a visceral response from veterans. The version we see in the film is toned down and even that version is in a league of its own in terms of war scenes.

[@Gunnar001]

@@MFBloosh No. This scene has SEVERAL historical inaccuracies according to real footage, testimonies, military after action reports and aerial photos of the landing zones that were taken during that time. For example, those big, ridiculously obvious machine gun bunkers that we see shooting straight into the landing U.S. troops in the film didn’t even exist. In reality, most of the German MGs in that sector were in small camouflaged positions dug into the bluffs, firing at interlocking angles along the length of the beach. The first landing troops didn’t know exactly where the fire was coming from because of this and would have been taking hits from the sides, not the direct front. Also, the first waves of troops landed at low tide and had to cross hundreds of meters of water and open beach before even reaching the “safety” of the shingle, unlike the far too small stretch of beach in the film that was way too close to the enemy positions. It took hours, spread across miles of beach, for these dispersed groups of men to get a foothold and secure Omaha. It definitely wasn't some quick 20 minute massed assault. So, while it this scene may have been realistic in terms of the intense violence and the “feeling” of battle, it was far from accurate in terms of what actually happened that day.

While not a true story it was inspired by the story of the Sullivan Brothers, which is mentioned in the movie. They were 5 brothers on the same Navy ship that was attacked during the battle of Guadalcanal. None of them survived and the mother found out she had lost all her sons.

[@dt_tby]

Close but a little off. Actually based very closely on the Neyland brothers. 3 brothers all "killed" in a short period and the only survivor was Fritz Neyland in the 101st (I believe he was the youngest as well just like in SPR). He was in E Co, 506th, 101st, the same company as BoB depicts. But no rescue mission was necessary, they were able to get word to the Company leadership and he was evacuated by a Chaplain and taken back to friendly lines without issue. The brother that was presumed killed in Burma was a pilot who had gone missing on a mission and later turned up alive and was sent home. So 2/4 brothers actually survived in the real life story that inspired SPR. The Neyland brothers story was depicted in the BoB book by Stephen Ambrose if memory serves. Tom Hanks read the book and thought the story would make a great movie with a few tweaks.

2:20 - nope, those scenes including the water ones were all shot on location. They don't make them like Spielberg anymore

[@rijlqanturis625]

That ad placement was straight trash, Ang, I'm sorry. Going from watching soldiers being slaughtered, then cutting away to what, at first, would appear to be some sort of heartfelt retrospective context and saying how fortunate you are to never have to live through such an event.... except you were just doing a segway into an ad for scentbird. That's pretty classless. Don't get me wrong, I'm not one of these MAGA nationalists that thinks vets should be worshipped (I am a vet) and thinks America is the greatest, but that just felt scummy, even to me. Be better than that, Ang.

[@Littlebigbot]

@rijlqanturis625. I am a MAGA nationalist and Viet Nam veteran and I find your implications about MAGA and veterans insulting. I don't know anyone who believes that. As a matter of fact I find myself questioning if you're really a veteran.

[@JamailvanWestering]

It takes partial inspiration from the Sullivan Brothers tragedy (they were mentioned during typing of the letters) It’s where 4/5 brothers were all stationed together on a ship that sunk killing them all

[@iKvetch558]

You are correct that they refer to the Sullivans in the film, but minor correct...all 5 Sullivan Brothers were killed when their cruiser the USS Juneau went down. The story is really based on the 4 Niland Brothers...3 of which were thought to have been killed, but it turned out one of the 3 killed had just been taken prisoner.

[@KS-xk2so]

All 5 of the Sullivan brothers died together. It was due to them the USA put their Sole Survivor Policy in place.

9:27 The Sullivan brothers were five brothers from Iowa who served together on the light cruiser USS Juneau. They were all killed in the battle of Guadalcanal, November 13th, 1942. After that, the US armed forces forbid brothers serving together. There is currently a US destroyer called 'The Sullivans' active in the navy.

[@stephenroberts7593]

You insist on saying you are "commenting" on the movie. Hence you NEVER stop talking ! You should be "REACTING " to the movie. Could only watch 30 minutes, Had to leave, Plus your sponsorship add was in bad taste.

[@matttyler8331]

The actor at 20:00 that describes the overloaded plane crashing is Leland Orser. He's one of those actors that is in so many great films and always as a small character. His performance in the film Seven is like this one, only a minute or so, but is one of the most impressive acting performances you'll ever see.

[@GK-yi4xv]

Seems to do the identical performance in all his movies. Pulp Fiction, too. Exactly the same. (but not the same in Taken with Liam Neeson)

Superficial American behaviour. Watching the horrors of war and then interrupting it with perfume commercial. Oh dear Lord!

You said when they found Ryan that there was no way to “earn it.” The admonition to earn it at the end was a cruel burden for the same reason; Ryan would have a debt he could never pay. Great reaction; thank you!

Hi Ange. I just wanted to say thank you for taking the opportunity to watch this movie. My grandfather served in the U.S. Army during the Korean War, so films like this always have a special place in my heart. The beginning of this movie takes place at the Normandy American Cemetery in Colleville-sur-Mer, France. I had the honor of visiting that site and plant American flags. To see the graves of all those men who died at Normandy under the white crosses and stars of David, it’s hard not to get choked up. I even had the opportunity to walk across Omaha Beach where this battle took place in real-life. You could still see all the shell holes from artillery and bombs. There are even some German bunkers left behind from the war that you could go into. Saving Private Ryan is widely regarded as the greatest is war movie ever made, if not one of the greatest films. It would go on to influence so many other films that followed, including video games like Medal of Honor and Call of Duty. Steven Spielberg made this as an ode to his father who also fought in World War II. It won five Academy Awards for best director, best cinematography, best film editing, best sound, and best sound effects editing. It was also nominated for best film and best actor (Tom Hanks). It should have won those awards too in my opinion. Tom Hanks is portraying a Captain in the U.S. Army Rangers. These are elite infantry units who are often assigned the most difficult and dangerous missions. Before the Invasion of Normandy, U.S. Army Ranger Battalions had already seen heavy combat in North Africa and Italy during World War II. This explains why Sergeant Horvath (Tom Sizemore) was collecting soil from France, as you can see he had already collected soil from the other countries they had fought in. The opening of this movie depicting the Battle of Omaha Beach is famous for its intensity and realism. Many World War II veterans who fought there on D-Day had a difficult time watching this in the theaters given the memories of such a horrific experience. I remember one veteran said that what happened at Omaha was worst than what this movie depicted. The story of Saving Private Ryan is loosely inspired by the Niland brothers from Tonawanda, New York. Frederick William "Fritz" Niland served in H Company, 501st Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne Division during the Invasion of Normandy. Two of his brothers, Robert and Preston, were killed in action while fighting in Normandy with other units. His fourth brother, Edward, was believed to have been killed in the Pacific, but it turns out he was captured by the Japanese and spent a year in a POW Camp in Burma. Thankfully Frederick and Edward survived the war. There is also some inspiration from the Sullivan brothers. They were five brothers from Waterloo, Iowa who served together as sailors aboard the light Cruiser USS Juneau. They were all killed in action on November 13, 1942, when the Juneau was sunk by Japanese torpedoes during the Guadalcanal Campaign. In the aftermath of their deaths, the U.S. Armed Forces tried to ensure that brothers wouldn’t be allowed to serve together in combat. I’m not sure if you noticed, but the German soldier Corporal Upham shot at the end (38:58) was the same one who killed Wade at the radar site earlier in the film. He’s known as “Steamboat Willie.” He’s also the same soldier who shoots and kills Captain Miller on the bridge a few moments earlier. Since you’ve watched Saving Private Ryan, I sincerely hope you have the opportunity to watch Band of Brothers. I would also strongly recommend Hacksaw Ridge if you decide to watch another war movie in the future.

His scene in the church talking about his mother and pretending to be asleep is the best scene in this movie, my favorite anyway, in a movie with so many amazing scenes.

[@anthonycragg451]

I was invited with my wife to a charity premiere in the UK where the shot the bridge scene in Hatfield. Tom Hanks’s helmet was auctioned off for £2000. The opening scene was so much longer than the theatrical release. Several veterans who were on the beach were in the audience and when the film was over one turned to us in tears and said “that’s how it was on the beach” I still to this day have my special ticket I got for the showing. Thank you for the reaction

[@Depress_Alone]

The ad timing was bad. But now gotta move on & learn from it. No need to apologize any further on future videos. It won’t happen anymore so that’s all there is to it.

When the medic dies, he asks for more morphine. One dose of morphine would kill pain, a second dose would stop your heart. He knew that and so did the rest of the group that's why they all got so quiet when he asked

I started watching reaction videos this year. Some have people who think they're comedians and it's obvious that they're not. A total distraction by what I assume are wannabe entertainers. Some are very knowledgeable in the film making process and I appreciate their inputs, observations, and feedback. Some are just honest reactors, and I really enjoy seeing a film I've seen before in the eyes of someone else who is viewing it for the first time. There are even some who are so engaging and fun that it's like watching a movie with a friend. Finally, some just come off as irritating. To me, you fall into the last category. I wanted to continue watching but I just couldn't. Maybe it's me and everyone else loves your reactions. Not intending to be mean but just giving some feedback.

[@Shad0wmoses]

16:17 the hidden soldiers were saying “please don’t shoot me! I am not German, I am Czech! I didn’t kill anyone, I’m Czech!” Spielberg confused the audience by not adding subtitles to express the confusion and fear in war so us audience may assume they were hostile too

27:11 - Funny you should mention Good Will Hunting. When Saving Private Ryan was being cast, Spielberg wanted an "unknown" actor. At the time Matt Damon WAS unknown. Then the year before this movie came out he had made Good Will Hunting and he blew up overnight (no pun intended). I guess Spielberg had no choice but to throw up his hands and shrug about it, lol. And yes . . . please react to Schindler's List.

The opening scene was so accurate, some D-Day veterans left the theater because they couldn't stand to watch it.
