Villagers React to SAVING PRIVATE RYAN (1998) FIRST TIME WATCHING | MOVIE REACTION: Cinephiles React

[@burningdeadman]

I know Mansoor and Naveed have said this movie shows how brave and fearless the American army is well they have shown how compassionate and open hearted the Pakistani people can be when watching our American war films. Thank you!

[@quiett6191]

This is why having universal themes is important. This movie beatifully portrayed the themes of comradery, perserverence, and self-sacrifice. By expressing these kinds of universally human experiences, it enables viewers to watch and identify with characters who are of a different race, gender or creed from them.

[@TonyEgg93]

Both of you hit the nail on the head.

[@BLaCkKsHeEp]

when they find out what the Russians had to go thru in this war, they'd be really shocked

[@Eyyoh755]

And it shows what badasses the Germans are, when it comes to war and combat.

[@joeday4293]

"Tell me I've led a good life. Tell me I'm a good man." God, that line stabs me in the heart every time I hear it.

[@stevem.5177]

Yes I cried like a baby. He had the weight of the world on his shoulders that he must have carried his whole life after Captain Miller and those soldiers died to save his life during the war… “Tell me I’ve lived a good life..”.

[@solsirhibragusowl2221]

Wanted to jump through the screen and tell him that he did.❤

[@theintegralstage8140]

Their reactions are some of the best, most heart-touching and thoughtful ones on the internet. Since they are seeing Matt Damon in this film, a really good one to show them next might be "Good Will Hunting."

[@mortbobeus6889]

I Love Naveed and Mansoor's appreciation of Tom Hanks movies! Yet another great reaction from these two.

[@Cinephilesreact786]

♥️🥰

[@adrianhempfing2042]

Much prefer .... Wilson! But even that was a sad film

[@stevem.5177]

I remember watching this amazing movie. My dad served in the US NAVY during WWII in the Pacific. I cried for almost the whole movie especially when the older Ryan collapsed in front of the grave of Captain Miller then asks his wife if he lived a good life. God bless both of you for your sincere reactions

[@JC-nl9yq]

This was a fantastic movie. I got to see it in theaters. Military veterans with PTSD often say they had to leave the theater in the first battle scene because they couldn’t handle it physically.

[@joeday4293]

My dad watched it at home on DVD. He had to take a break in the middle of the opening battle scene and go outside for a breath of fresh air. He's a Vietnam infantry veteran.

[@DS-si9hg]

Vietnam war was complicated politically. I don’t know if usa was right or not. There are horror stories on all sides of it. That’s war. Glad we have brave people like your dad so I don’t have to go through that

[@Chrysalis-uu5ec]

​@DS-si9hg right or wrong so many had to go because they were told to. You can separate the 2 & appreciate what the soldiers went through & are still going through (Agent Orange, etc)

[@Chrysalis-uu5ec]

My dad had to run out. He was in the theater lobby with several WW2, Korea & Nam vets. Said it was the closest he'd ever heard or seen the actual bullets hitting bodies effects & sounds. None of them knew each other but a few held each others' hands while breathing through it. It's an incredible film. Great reaction to it.

[@banzi403]

@@Chrysalis-uu5ec several ww2 combat vets you say. Riiiiight.

[@marquisdelafayette1929]

Another great reaction! You should check out Hacksaw Ridge next, about the pacific theatre and a soldier named Desmond Doss who enlisted to serve as a combat medic but refused to carry or use a weapon because it was against his religious beliefs. He personally saved around 75+ people including injured Japanese. He had been injured four times but continued. Great movie and even better that it is true!

[@mcm95403]

I still cry even just watching reactions to this movie and the brief clips we see. I had a friend 30 years ago who as he put it "got a tour of Europe in 1944 courtesy of the US Army", and he said that this and Band Of Brothers were as close as you could get to showing what it was really like without actually being there.

[@dan_hitchman007]

SPR was inspired by various real life soldiers who were pulled from active duty during World War 2 because many of their brothers had been killed in action. They didn't want entire families to be wiped out because all the draft eligible children had been sent to war. This particular story is historical fiction, giving you an idea of what these men experienced during the horrors of war.

[@44macherie]

Empire of the Sun might be another movie along these war themes that they might enjoy-- about a British boy who survives the Japanese camps in World War II. However, going down a different path, I wonder if they could handle a good classic horror movie like Poltergeist. I do love these guys! Have so much fun watching with y'all!

[@aaronmicalowe]

I think his hand shaking is a neurological issue, meaning it's not linked to his emotional state, but just something his body is physically doing, like a twitch. The body is biological but also electric. If the nerves don't function properly they can cause muscles to twitch uncontrollably.

[@joeday4293]

My guess? His character has undiagnosed Parkinson's disease.

[@quiett6191]

Back then they had some understanding of PTSD, but they called it "combat fatigue". Human reflexes and the flight or fight response is biologically wired to help us save ourselves in quick situations, eg jumping out of the way of a car at the last second, or a parent leaping to the defence of their child from a dangerous animal. However in combat, both systems are constantly "switched on" for extended periods. Thus the body remains flooded with adrenaline for longer than normal. Apparently, that much adrenaline in one's bloodstream for long periods, can become toxic to the body.

[@musikmirage]

Early onset of Parkinson's maybe

[@aaronmicalowe]

@@quiett6191 some people also get addicted to that adrenaline and then can't stop killing once the war is over.

[@quiett6191]

@@aaronmicalowe I don't know about the killing, but I'm sure the body does begin to build up a dependence, like with drugs.

[@thegeekyouseek8229]

Please let them know the German soldier who killed Private Mellish in the knife fight was NOT the German soldier they released, who was credited as Steamboat Willie. That German soldier was wearing a Waffen SS uniform with the SS on the collar. However, yes at the end Upham did in fact shoot Steamboat Willie as he saw him shoot Captain Miller across the river and to also probably get the other German soldiers to cooperate. You can clearly see Steamboat Willie is wearing regular German Wehrmacht uniform.

[@Cinephilesreact786]

Thank you for your valuable information 🥰

[@centrocristianovidaabundan5971]

Good catch!

[@georgielancaster1356]

Was that Timothy Upham actually a real person, or did the Americans pinch the last name of the only Allied soldier/officer, to win the Victoria Cross, twice, in WW2. (VC AND BAR). Charles Upham VC and Bar, New Zealand officer and famed for his love of and kindness to animals.

[@PheOfTheFae]

The military really does separate families so that they aren't all serving together in order to try and prevent things like this, where a whole family is killed, because I think during WWI they would let brothers serve together but then if their battalion all were killed, the whole family was gone. So in WWII they started to make sure they didn't all serve together in the same group to try and prevent that from happening.

[@PoPoPresley]

My Grandfather was in the first wave of D-DAY Invasion....Earned 2 Purple Hearts over only 2 days......Reason I joined the Army. JUST found ya'lls channel tonight, and LOVE IT!! Ya'll actually show the important parts, and so on!! Subscribed!

I love the way you guys gave a salute back to the characters in the movie! You are very kind, compassionate men! Hello from Las Vegas, Nevada! USA! 🏜️

[@kentl7228]

These reactors are such empathetic, smart, decent and compassionate people. It's interesting that the soldier that lets comrade die due to being frozen in fear has the same name as one of the most courageous soldiers of world war 2, who received 2 Victoria crosses. The only soldier to have received this in battle. Captain Charles Upham.

[@Atagahi]

Bravo to these reactors. They have earned something, lighthearted and fun for the next reaction!

[@leedavis7508]

A little context on the initial start of the movie. This was the Allied Forces landing on the beaches of Normandy in France to retake Europe from the Nazis. The battle portrays just one beachhead of what was a battle extending for 50 miles of coastline.

[@ritaakalele4801]

❤ Beautiful but heart breaking fim. 😢😢😢😢

*Bravery and courage are not born attributes, nor things gained. They are the action of moving forward and doing what is right, whilst being terrified and shaking, or in deep grief. That scene always tears me up...tell me I led a good life, tell me I'm a good man. Was the life he lead worth everyone's sacrifice? I get that so hard.*

[@dylanogden812]

Fortunately my great grandpa made it through the d day invasion i dont know which beach he was on but he received 2 purple hearts 💜 💜 and a bronze star and thankfully made it back home god bless tho who didn't we thank u for ur service and the Sacrifices they all made to keep us safe and free

[@t0n3mapls43]

Amazing video, great commentary. I was a soldier in the 101st so this movie and saving private Ryan are some of my favorites since my unit was part of these battles depicted in these movies. War is really a terrible thing.

[@oldpain7625]

Doesn't matter where we're from, we react the same at nearly every scene, and we're half a world away. What's cool is you respect who I respect in this movie, and in turn I respect you, because I know you're respectable. Cool video here! Thanks for sharing your first experience with this movie. It's a movie that means a lot to many Americans, and is commonly re-watched on anniversaries of the real events in remembrance. Every year around June 6th it's on TV on multiple channels, and many of us watch it every year. 😁

[@prollins6443]

I never served, too much of a chicken to enlist, but his comment "Tell her i was here, with the only brothers i have left!" hits so hard! You really feel the emotion of that statement.

[@melbeasley9762]

No, the one who walked past Upham on the stairs wasn't the one they let go. This man was SS and he just showed contempt for Upham. The one they let go was the Wehrmacht soldier who shot the Captain.

[@Cinephilesreact786]

Thank you

[@user-wr9ej6xe4j]

@melbeasley9762 There is literally no need for this comment

[@aaronmicalowe]

Although this movie is fictional, it's pieced together by snippets of moments that actually happened, to give a fair representation of what soldiers went through in WW2. I think the reality was probably so much more brutal than this story, that it wouldn't be able to be a film without greatly damaging people, just for watching it. So, it had to be dumbed down for us to see. That's what I believe.

an interesting fact, all the actors had to go through intense boot camp and training except matt damon, making their resentment towards him a little more genuine lol.

[@ThatsMrPencilneck2U]

Bullets do not penetrate water as easily as depicted in this film. Shooting a sniper down the scope is not unusual for sniper on sniper engagements. The driver of the tank would have had armored glass in front of him, so they couldn't have just shot into the tank, like that. Back where I grew up, my next door neighbor was a Marine in Korea, and he killed a Commie T-34 by throwing a grenade down the commander's hatch. By the way, the "Tiger" was a T-34, with a mock-up Tiger turret. It looks so much better than the M-48's tanks they used in older movies.

[@AceManning18]

From an American with relatives who have served I thank you sincerely for your respect and kindness in this reaction video. You two show more respect and emotion than most of our citizens under age 30 these days and I appreciate you endlessly for it. Thank you again.

I'm glad they're recognizing Tom Hanks. Hanks just doesn't make bad movies. I think the only bad movie he was ever in was when he was a teenage actor. As a grown man, he just goes from one Oscar worthy performance to another.

GREAT reaction video toba very powerful movie that looked to show the horrors of war up close. Across the world, governments have squandered their youth in such massive numbers. It's been said that, "War brings hell to life," and that's almost certainly true for every such conflict, as unavoidable as some seem to be. This was an excellent reaction video!

[@aaronslater470]

My favorite story reading about D-Day was about a Navy Destroyer. The ship watched the first wave get annihilated on the beach. So they went full speed towards the beach and at the last moment "popped the hand break" and came parallel to the beach. They started shooting their heavy ship weapons point blank on the defensives. They were under strict orders not to expend ammunition in case the German Navy counter attacked. Out of some 80 rounds in their magazine the ship returned to port with 3 rounds. The men who landed on that specific beach still claim the only reason they succeeded was this ship.

[@grimmmetals5290]

Can I make a suggestion for a film that Naveed and Mansoor will enjoy which is an intense emotional roller coaster? If they haven't seen It already, I would highly recommend the Australian film 'Lion' (2016). Some parts of the film are in Hindi and the culture would be instantly recognisable to them. Make sure they have lots of tissues. It's a film where you first weep in sorrow in the beginning and then in joy at the end!

This is the D-Day. The D-Day operation of June 6, 1944, brought together the land, air, and sea forces of the allied armies in what became known as the largest amphibious invasion in military history. The operation, given the codename OVERLORD, delivered five naval assault divisions to the beaches of Normandy, France.

[@dawnofthewalkers4915]

When I was in the army I was a tank operator/driver and whenever a new guy came in they’d fuck with them. They’d tell them to jump u and down on the tank to make sure the shocks were working, they’d give them a hammer and told them to walk around the tank and hit it with a hammer to make sure there were no soft spots and they use to tell them to do the “boom test” which they’d tell you to yell boom down the barrel to make sure that it was working okay.

The opening scene Ryan goes to the grave of his brother, at the end he's at the grave of Capt. Miller's grave. His family is directly behind him at the first grave site, at the end, his family remains at a respectful distance, except for his wife who has no idea who Miller is. Ryan went home and never told anyone about that day in Ramell.

Would be interesting to see them watch a war movie that doesn't exactly reflect as positively on the US military

[@aaronburdon221]

Executive Mansion, Washington, Nov. 21, 1864. Dear Madam,-- I have been shown in the files of the War Department a statement of the Adjutant General of Massachusetts that you are the mother of five sons who have died gloriously on the field of battle. I feel how weak and fruitless must be any word of mine which should attempt to beguile you from the grief of a loss so overwhelming. But I cannot refrain from tendering you the consolation that may be found in the thanks of the Republic they died to save. I pray that our Heavenly Father may assuage the anguish of your bereavement, and leave you only the cherished memory of the loved and lost, and the solemn pride that must be yours to have laid so costly a sacrifice upon the altar of freedom. Yours, very sincerely and respectfully, A. Lincoln

Those people are often fairly ordinary people with families , lives before or after the war.
