There's something about tension and rainfall. Even a game like airsofting, I was deep in a bush, all shrouded in camouflage, waiting for the enemy team to trot past me. I let the first three or four get by me before I layed into the last guy. I schwacked a couple of them but most of them got by me, and then we waited on each other for a long while. The rain on the foliage, the splash of water off of my silly toy, it was the only thing moving, a long murmuring pause after a moment of intense action. Absolutely incredible, glad I will probably never have to do something like that for real.

Many Czech stuntmen worked on this film, who are considered to be top in their field. The German sniper is one of them. His name is Leoš Stránský and he is currently the head of a company that performs stunt scenes for many Hollywood films. Leoš described for Czech television that the scene was very difficult for him. The sweat, which is visible in the film, is real, he said, because it was very hot at the time and the scene was filmed for several hours, during which the director shouted at him where to look.

[@sampod1555]

[@r.b.ratieta6111]

Another thing I didn't realize until watching this for the millionth time is the German sniper began to suspect another sniper. Traditionally, American soldiers would have laid down covering fire in the direction of the sniper while grabbing their wounded man in a large group to minimize time of exposure. When these soldiers didn't do that, the sniper checked to see if his men had left him for dead. When he saw Caparzo (Vin Diesel) conversing with Tom Hanks behind the car, he thought "Why is no one running or attacking?" My thinking is at that point he realized, "There's another sniper somewhere."

[@Supperdude9]

That's very sound logic. If you can't precision a problem, you overwhelm it. If they didn't have their own sniper to deal with him, they would have just blasted in the direction of the shot, covering fire all over the place. The look on his face also told a tale that he knew something was very wrong. They were going to deal with him precisely.

[@rbrtck]

If this were real life, they probably should/would have used the alternative tactic anyway, as Caparzo might have had a chance if the medic could have stopped the bleeding with a hemostat or whatever it would have taken. But of course, this being a movie, they went for something more dramatic with pathos. Besides, in real life, I doubt that German sniper would have stayed put unless he wanted to die.

Listen again: there are two piano chords: the first is in the lower register, struck simultaneously with the shot (like a jump scare effect), the other in the upper register (sounds like a minor forming an octave).

Technically u don't hear the gunshot its self , u hear the crack of the round hitting the sound barrier . So theres actually 2 bangs 😁

[@LevNavarre]

That might have been correct, but everything else about the counter-shot (against the German sniper) is wrong. The terminal ballistics are impossible. Specifically: presuming a 2800fps muzzle velocity (normal or even a little generous for M2 ammo out of a Springfield 1903), a 30-06 round is on a downward trajectory at 450 yards, and has been for most of its flight. It would be physically impossible for the bullet to enter German sniper's scope at an upward angle and continue into the sniper's eye.

[@user-oo8zt1sc1c]

Jackson's rifle with water falling and his stance looks great, badass. Those little details make a movie unforgettable.

[@josuebenvindo]

I wonder if they think about that when filming. Is that drop of water CGI or just bare luck?

[@jkpttr]

I wonder if the piano notes played when he gets shot are edited in, or if vin diesel happened to fall on keys that ended up sounding sinister

that's a solid point

[@togarnis8096]

Edited in... the first note plays before Sinclair even touches the piano.

@@togarnis8096 I think it could be argued that the bullet piercing the piano could account for that first sound, but that might be a stretch lol

Yep. Really brings home how it'll be when we finally, and fully, face our own mortality. And the sense of injustice and senselessness if it's by someone else's hand. Re: knife scenes you can't watch. Ditto but Goodfellas for me.

Exactly. The knife scene is so brutal, as well as the inability of the soldier to get up and deliver the ammunition, very raw, realistic, frustrating.

[@jaycollins7288]

My dad enlisted in the Canadian army with the intent to be a sniper in world war 2. He was refused because he had fallen out of a tree when he was a kid and broke his back. He taught me everything I know about shooting. The main thing he said, is to keep your cool when you are in a gunfight where someone is "returning the compliment at you!" He also taught me to "move when you shoot." Practicing all day standing in front of a paper target will mean nothing once you are being shot at. You will need to hit what you are shooting at while doing the old "duck and cover"!

[@angusmcculloch6653]

That's funny. My dad was an actual combat vet. His advice to me was, "Don't ever get in combat. And if you do, accept that you're going to die."

I’ve always wondered why Captain Miller didn’t have Jackson take out the machine gun nest in the scene where Wade was killed instead of charging at the machine guns.

[@panchopistola8298]

Because it was a movie . I really had a lot of problems with the movie a whole …. Lol . Mainly cause a lot of guys got killed needlessly because they didn’t plan the ending better . But it was a movie hahah

[@SupComRaiden2]

Because at that point in the film Miller was suffering from Combat Stress, meaning that he wasn't thinking clearly.

[@texasrockshillcountry6574]

Good point.

[@poopsie117]

Because in the scene you could see they were attacking from the low ground - the first snipers shot at the germans on the high ground would’ve alerted them, and they would’ve either opened fire on the low ground or taken cover with arms at ready, maybe even alerted high command as to the US Army’s advancements. The run at the hill was to quickly neutralize all machine gun nests and personnel with the element of surprise. You can’t do that with a single sniper. Of course its a movie but it made sense how they did it.

[@poopsie117]

@@SupComRaiden2 yes, but also no. If anything they should’ve left the machine guns for another squadron. But how they attacked it made sense given that they did attack.

Vin Diesel's last request is that they take his letter. . . For Family.

[@tommy-fu5sz]

I remember that day on the set. We were all cold and wet, Steven was a little frustrated with Vin, and we were all relieved when his character was killed because Vin was difficult to deal with while Tom Hanks was exemplary as always. The other actors were all tough but Vin was a wuss and none of us could have predicted his rise to fame with his lack of acting chops. Filmmaking is not for the weak, we stand outside in the heat, the cold, in the rain and snow for 14-16 hours a day- and on this set, we had to work in the rubble, broken glass and dust, but there is nothing more fun than making a WWII film, and watching the genius of Steven Spielberg as he literally made up the story shot by shot, shooting the scenes in Ramelle in sequence. Steven frequently operated the camera in some of the most difficult sequences, his knowledge of the camera is unparalleled, and we all rallied behind him with the shared desire to make the greatest WWII film ever.

2:33 Lol the sniper is so talented that he can somehow set his eye RIGHT UP against the scope of his rifle and fire it without the kickback from the recoil knocking him out.

[@Man-ut8gt]

I actually had that happen to me before when I used a sniper for the first time. Unfortunately for some reason my dad didn’t tell me about that so when I had the scope pressed up against my eye it hit me when i fired and most of the damage went to where my eyebrow was and it hurt like for a week or more i think I can’t remember

[@ahmadjarrad2635]

With distances like 450 yards, depending on the scope, you’re naturally inclined to bring your eye closer to the scope since the sight picture becomes very small. And the recoil potentially injuring his eye isn’t as big of a problem as you might think

[@Turbulencje]

Yeah well, it’s called scope bite and it’s popular in military aswell, guess it was popular as so during the world war 2.

[@elhananhardaway8728]

0:00 you can hear the bullet penetrate Caparzo, then the bullet hitting the piano. Caparzo then slumps over to the piano, so we hear the piano for the second time. Then at 0:04 you hear the rifle shot echoing in the background. Amazing attention to detail.
