Fun fact: Matt Damon was cast because he was relatively unknown at the time the film started filming, but Good Will Hunting was released a few months earlier in 1997 and he was a big star by the time SPR released in theaters. Talk about perfect timing lol.

[@asmith8947]

So guessing Spielberg got a screaming deal on a big star then.

[@Telruin]

Matt Damon talks about this in a video here on KZbin. (Where he recaps his biggest roles.) I can't remember it all, word for word. But I hope it's easy enough to find and hear his words. He was passed on initially. In the photo they had he was looking too thin/malnourished. Robin Williams invited him to some event... thing... And introduced him to Spielberg. This is (apparently) when Spielberg saw that he was perfect for the role. I recall that he points out that this is the second big opportunity he got because of Robin Williams.

[@Telruin]

@Marcelo Naveira Rainmaker released after they had finished shooting the movie. (I think at least) I don't know how long before that they did their casting. I believe Matt Damon comments on this in the interview. That he had a couple of titles releasing in between working on the movie. (I also don't think the original comment were stating that he became a big star because of SPR. Just that he was a big name by the time it released. And I think it's true that Spielberg were looking for relatively unknown actors. In that case it would have been up to him if they were unknown enough.)

What makes this scene so powerful is that they all assume that Ryan will be entitled and happy to go home. It also contrasts with the other "Private Ryan" who freaked out when they mistakenly told him his brothers were dead. The acting's great, but the scene works because it upends the viewer's expectations.

[@MrWill9002]

Yes but in fairness, he had younger younger brothers who were still in school so his breakdown is understandable

[@ball3677]

​​​​@@MrWill9002 That's a great point. In that situation you would have already accepted that as a possibility as soldiers. However losing your little brothers still in school is an entirely different nightmare that would break anyone. It's akin to someone losing their parent compared to a parent losing their son/daughter. Both are heartbreaking, but losing a parent is expected. Losing a child is not expected and unacceptable for everyone. Pretty good and realistic writing by the filmmakers in my opinion.

You do remember that the other Ryan's brothers are all in GRADE school, so fucking shit he would react that way to his CIVILIAN brothers who were still children all suddenly dying when they are supposed to be far away from the obvious dangers of war. At least the main Ryan knew that his brothers had a high chance of dying being soldiers in combat zones. Already knowing about several sets of brothers where most if not all died serving, the Juneau that had the Sullivan brothers also had around 29 other sets of brothers, and remember only 10 out of a crew of 697 were pulled out of the water alive.

Adds more gravity to the captain's final words later on of "Earn it". Ryan's demand to stay cost even more lives than the two that died while looking for him.

They died because Captain Miller was actually really bad at his job. Once they heard how many Germans were coming, they should have retreated and blown the bridge.

What I love about this scene is it really shows the amazing character and integrity Ryan has. Throughout the whole journey the team and us have wondered if this Ryan is worth the lives of Wade and Carpazo. When we finally do see Ryan we can tell he is a man of honor and is loved by his men. The team also sees this too and though they don't say it you can see on their faces they respect the man despite who they have lost.

[@ArmyWolves]

I noticed that too on Edward Burns' face. He starts off calling Ryan an asshole but after Ryan calmly asks for the names of the men that died and pauses in a moment of silence and then finally says he isn't special and wouldn't abandon his remaining brothers the look on Edward Burns' face was one of surprise and respect as he studied him. So much going in in just this scene. Brilliant

Imagine going back and every man you fought alongside during the war died on that bridge and you weren't even there to help. The guilt that would bring, especially a character like Ryan, is immeasurable. It's not about his life, its about the lives of those he serves alongside and the purpose they are fighting for, to protect those back home. He wouldn't be able to live with himself if he didn't do his part at one of the most strategically important locations in the campaign, just to go home and work a normal, safe job while his friends fight and die in his stead.

But after seeing that Ryan is just as brave a soldier who refuses to be relieved from a dangerous place in the battlefield makes him respect him... In a later scene we see him nodding towards Ryan before the tanks start to come at them, as if saying "I understand your stance...you have my respect" and later saves his life when he physically sits on top of Ryan for stopping him from moving/getting hit...

Officers are in charge of operating the pumps which means we are on full watch duty once every 4 weeks. When it is our watch turn, we have a radio with us and can't leave the town for the week, can't even get passed 8 miles from the station. It restricts what you can do with your life during that week, and highly frustrated our wives when it started (limit possibility of going out). Well each of us fought teeth and nails against our respective wives on the importance of keeping our duty turn. If I stop, I live three brothers to share my duty in between them, increasing the impact on their lifes. I'll never do it, neither any of the other three. I'll be releived of my duty when I'm either too weak to operate the pumps, or die. This is not Hollywood.

The basis of this story I find troubling, personally. Every mother in America didn't want their private Ryan, their son, to get killed in the war. It's kind of like the General saying that killing three of the four brothers is OK, as long as the fourth doesn't get killed. It makes no sense to me. But then, war makes no sense anyway. The only person who needed to get killed during the whole damned thing was Hitler, as the sniper so rightly observed.

[@independentthought3390]

Yeah, the story is also very problematic as far as realism goes. It makes no sense in a lot of ways.

[@shawnheidingsfelder8179]

No, the death of three brothers is not ok, and the movie didn't say that. There's a reason the military does their best to separate family when they serve at the same time. It's so a mother doesn't have to lose an entire family in one battle. The Chief of Staff decided that one family suffered more than enough, and they were going to do everything in their power to make sure they didn't suffer more loss. Yes, it's very improbable (not impossible) that three brothers would all die around the same time in three separate locations, and that three letters would have to be delivered at the same time informing the family of their deaths, but that's the only part that is Hollywood. The higher ups would have tried to make sure the last brother got sent home before he died too, and if they found out he and his squad was missing, they'd want to know what happened to them, too. They took some men from a unit that could spare them, not knowing how bad Pvt Ryan's situation really was. Plausible enough for a movie.

Note that this story was inspired by real history. Sergeant Frederick Niland was shipped home in 1944 after his three brothers were reportedly killed (one brother was later found alive).

Private Ryan is now a symbol of something for all of them. Ryan doesn't understand that until he's an old man standing at the headstones of Hanks and the other men. His life that he lived was repayment for their sacrifice. SO F'ING GOOD!

Forrest Gump meeting Agent Bourne ??

[@Troy12-fitnessmodel]

Thank god I never thought they'd find him after telling that poor chap (the wrong ryan) about his brothers. Only took 3 hours of movie to locate the wee blighter

Apparently forrest gump was in two wars world War 2 and the vietnam war

[@fade22223]

…and that is a Man’s answer and Hank’s character couldn’t argue with that.

Private Caparzo (Vin Diesel) would be proud of Private Ryan's decision. You don't leave your family behind ;)

[@KrattarKrattar]

Luckily today he could have said all that on a phone…

RIP Tom Sizemore.

I guess the morale of this story is to not go looking for one man during a war

[@phoenix0110]

Great scene

[@ianinkster2261]

The same thing happened to Mark Pilkington, Karl's brother, only his mother send a letter to the sergeant calling him "chuck". I think it worked - he was sent home.

I like the subdued black rankinsignia worn by Pt. Ryan on his left sleeve under the Division patch !. Especially they were introduced first in the Vietnamwar 1968 ! A visitor from the future ???

This is an excellent lesson in leadership. The decision that Captain Miller is faced with is very difficult to answer. It proves that there is not often a clear cut black and white answer to such situations. Miller has his orders, and they are to get Ryan out of there. However, when Ryan refuses to leave, what does Miller do then? He can't just sack Ryan up and take him anyway. He also can't leave without him because he would fail in his mission if he did so. So he changes his mission, he and his unit stay to protect the bridge and, even though most of Miller's men die, they are succssful in protecting the bridge and Ryan obviously survives. It is a great lesson that orders sometimes can't be carried out exactly as expected when they are given.

I remember watching old vets walk out opening night during the Omaha Beach scene.

Matt Damon's tear was caused by a peeled onion under his armpit. I remember it well.

[@doctormalleycat]

The acting and directing in this film are phenomenal hanks performance never falters

[@montieluckett7036]

In reality, the rest of his outfit would have made him go. They loved each other so much in a crappy situation, that even one mans exodus would have been a godsend to the rest. That's just the way those of us, who practiced the martial way of life, Are. If one man survives, we all would.

Tom Hanks finally finds Private Ryan 🤣🤣🤣

[@dsrleader1563]

Great movie

[@basil8029]

This was such an intense seen, when they finally found Saving Private Ryan.

[@rooish574]

His name is just Private Ryan

[@Progamerguy101]

I haven't seen the movie again in a few years, so I forgot why the squad tried to leave and return elsewhere instead of holding the bridge with Ryan to make sure he doesn't die. If they had just stayed, then the rest of the squad would likely be alive.
