One of my favorite parts (.....and there were MANY )....was the sound of those tanks rolling into Grimell. Hearing them approach from off in the distance.
My father wept in the cinema to this,when it ended he walked out and wept,he said it was exactly like that,but with more bodies,i cant watch this film anymore,i cry too much!
It's not one of the best war movies , it"s one of the best Hollywood war movies , and the touch of a feeling good movie by Spielberg approach , the USA feeling good approach , I must sell my movies approach , Spielberg wished he had made : Cross of Iron , Pekinpah , The Train , Frankenheimer , Ivan's Childhood , Tarkovsky , Dunkirk , Nolan , "Come and See" , Klimov ...............
Yeah, (..WAR is HELL..) soTrue, and maybySo..but, WATCH this one Too: director David Ayer (2014) film, yo'know: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-dKVkA8DaIMY.html ..'Fury'. I say: *Seldom* (or, *Almost* never..;) seen a *More* realistic World *War* Two movie, than *ThatOne,* mr. David Ayer's, *'Fury'* IS. Yeah, (..war *IS* hell. *always.* ) Just like, early WW2 northern europe ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-wP9faqLBl9Y.html ( The Winter War 1939 between soviet and finnish army) Clip on a film *Talvisota'* WinterWar: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-hiLRKCRCFuk.html (Yeah..war *IS* hell.)
The soundtrack, the scenes, ambience, actors... everything on this movie is so well made. There´s something you can´t find in any other movie about war. Such a piece of art. My favorite WW2 movie of all time!
My cousin and her husband took my uncle to go see this movie now uncle was there in Normandy when i found out that my uncle went to see Private Ryan i asked him what did you think about the movie he told me he felt as he was back in Normandy and he didn't want to talk about it anymore because he said it was horrible so much blood and screaming and then he stopped talking..so i said to myself and thinking about this horrible place...now when I went to go see this movie I was shocked to see such realistic..one thing I do remember is when i was walking out of the movie theater everybody was quiet..i guess it we all felt the same way in a sense that so many died because one person decided to bring the hole world to himself..
I saw this film on a Tuesday evening four days after it opened with my brother-in-law. At that point I had not heard much about it. There were 20 or so people in the theatre. We were all stunned by the reality and graphic scenes. No one spoke when the film ended as the audience filed out. After dropping my brother-in-law off at his house I headed home. I walked into the kitchen and my wife asked how the film was. All I could say was that I had new respect for my father’s generation and that it was the most realistic war film that I had ever seen. It took me several days to get over it. When my kids were older we all watched it together. The film had the same effect on them. They should show this film in schools to give kids a history lesson and what real sacrifice is.
The depiction of the Germans here is way too dumb. In June 6. 1944 the German Wehrmacht was down to 15 - 20% of its fighting ability. The Germans fought a two front war (western and eastern theater) and it took the western allies nearly a whole year to reach Berlin. You know what i am talking about? The point is that in every american war movies,no matter what,the Germans are similar to the Stormtroopers of Star Wars: unable to aim at a target and merely cannon fodder. They were not. I have no idea who advised Spielberg here (which is a pretty nice asshole regarding to other filmmakers but thats another topic) but the whole procedure of fighting were different at best. The usual procedure of american warfare in WW2 was the following: reconnaissance groups ahead and if there was any resistance then proceed with air raid or artillery. Just in exceptions a man to man combat happens like the Ardenne battle. Look at the casualties at the soviet side,these did not came from nothing. So,less american heroism and a little less drama where only americans suffer with more historical accuracy would be appreciated. The German Wehrmacht were an immense threat to the free world and i would like to get the feeling in a war movie.
Fun Fact: forgotten WWII hero "Lieutenant General Lukas H. Kara" (or as Americans call him "Lucas 'Hunter' Schofield") saved this one particular soldier with his innards spilling out, this soldier lived alongside the LG, But was reprieved after Operation Varsity.
There is the low budget film Saints and Soldiers - Airborne Creed set during the invasion of Southern France by the Allies (2012). Has a modern Korean War movie been made?
Not much in the 'making of' as in the filming of, more like a load of stills inserted at random into film clips to pad it out - could have been better.. the GOOD news is the film is great, but this 'making of' a big let down as have just wasted 12 minutes watching it :(
The real D-Day was suppose to have 30 Sherman tanks float to the beach to take the beach. Using flotation balloons on the tanks was a huge failure. 29 of the 30 tanks sank and drowned their 5 man crews (145 men dead). If those tanks had made the beach Allied casualties would have been greatly reduced by as much as 90%.
I would ask: If the squad has a sniper capable of putting a bullet through a scope from across a town, why would the same squad do a frontal assault on an MG emplacement when they had the element of surprise?
That was kind of the point. It was a “bad call” on Miller’s part. He made the choice to assault the machine gun position and got Wade killed. That’s why he broke down after. He knew it was a bad decision
@@jayjohnson572 So cinematics, giving depth to a character? Maybe so, but I find it hard to believe that an officer with that level of experience and surviving "tough assignments" could make a blunder a 2nd Lieutenant would pull off.
@@endutubecensorship Then why have it in the movie at all? If not to show that even “an officer with that level of experience” could make a bad call. Not sure just any 2nd Lt. would have the stones or the expertise to pull off an assault like that on a fixed position. Especially against an MG42. They could have left it. It wasn’t imperative to their mission. It was Miller’s decision, one that could have been avoided. He chose to assault it head on. And I believe pretty much every assignment at that point in the war was a tough assignment.
@@jayjohnson572 I know its easy to see things through a different lens in our hindsight, I just cant get over the tactical advantage of a squad going up against 4-5 enemies with the element of surprise. Sure, no one is immune to making bad calls but I find this mistake hard to believe.
I could hear you really well but the dialogue in the movie is way too soft. Please normalize the audio next time because whenever I raised the volume to understand the dialogue from the actors, your voice came out WAY too loud after. Sorry for complaining about it, but as a video guy this is sadly a big pet peeve of mine. Sorry for being the jerk! But audio levelling is important. If youre turning up the volume just to have to turn it down because its suddenly too loud, thats not very fun. I still really liked your video though. Sorry for being the jerk to say this.

Platoon is the most realistic. The director had been an infantryman in Vietnam. There are good people and bad. Das Boot had no bad people. Where were the sadists who enjoyed killing people?

Remember going to the American Cemetery at Normandy. Looking at the Headstones. Remembering the line from this movie. “ Earn this .. “. Hallowed ground. Seemed surreal.
Seen this when I was around 7 or 8 in the theatre with my step dad mom aunt in uncle,It blew my mind was obsessed with ww2 since my step dad covered my eyes through the gore but then he gave up 😂😂😂
it was the freak Harvey Weinstein who pulled the strings to get his company to win!he muscled the movie critics and affiliates to get his company Miramax to win most prizes!I loved how Harrison Ford sounded dumbfounded when he annonounced "Shakespeare In Love" as the movie of the year!!
An excellent film. I spent my life talking to WWII veterans of both theaters of war. I talked to a man that was in the first wave at Omaha Beach. He said it was so accurate that it brought back memories that he hadn’t thought about in decades. It really shook him. He suggested that it be required viewing for all Americans. Maybe our millennials would appreciate what was done on behalf of future generations.
The only historical Incorrecies are the very unimportant once. Exept for afew things during the landing scenes. Like the sailor driving the lcvp, how long it took for the men to get up the beach, how long the beach was, the german bunkers. But that is not so important compared to the impact of the scene
Historical film work about A bit of American military history... Will wind up as a required watch in schools some day. Think of the book reports that would come from this? Maybe a new found respect for older generations.
@@ray.shoesmith I agree ! I dont mean the storyline. There were millions of stories many men were never able to tell. The point you get from most is that War is hell, always seeming to have odd twist in men's fate and sometimes without reason.
I always found it ironic that one character was named Upham. His role was that of a reluctant soldier. I'm a Kiwi and that name holds huge respect with us, as Captain Charlie Upham from 2nd NZ div won the Victoria Cross not once but twice. This made him the highest awarded combatant of all Commonwealth and British forces. He's a fucking legend and managed to survive the war. His story is well overdue to be made into a movie. He was also a very good father and friend to his old mates as well as very humble.
best war shows are band of brothers and the pacific tho.. i agree for SPR on movie but the latter are way better media as a whole if analyzed deeply and based off real stuff not just omaha
Trust Mr. Spielberg to do the most amazing war film initially of the landing at Normandy and war at its most realistic. To see this film once, I cried all thru it and haven't watched it since. It broke my ❤ to see what young men went through so we could have our freedom. My heat goes out to any veterans past or present who actually endured this horror called war. Thank you Mr.Speilburg for bringing this historical account to life with such accuracy. Everyone needs to see this. Merci
Just wish the jerries aren't always shown as total idiots, they occupied pretty much all of Europe and a large amount of the Soviet Union, they had the best army in the world and I'm pretty sure they don't all run around shooting rifles from the hip at invisible targets
yes we had 60 amputee stuntmen from Czecholslavakia. came in handy to rig prosthetic arms or legs to blow off in a scene. sucked when one took a seat across from you at lunch in full make up w/ (fake)bloody bone stub as you cut into your steak
Turns 25 today! I think my late father got the vhs Truly one of Steven Speilberg’s best combining history with legitimate human drama This came out when veterans were just beginning to share wartime experiences, marked a cultural apogee A large cast comprised of Tom Hanks, Tom Sizemore, Ed Burns, Vin Diesel, Matt Damon, and Paul Giamatti The film right from the bat opens with showing the brutality of being on the battlefield with the Battle of Normandy, it was truly one of the bloodiest struggles in our history Confusion, terror, and despair is what Speilberg allows the audience to feel using a handheld camera technique along with a sandy-filled blood soaked point of view He not only reinvented the war movie but also raised the bar higher since no others have been able to match it The film had Americans confronting the horror, larger untold for 50 years what their parents and grandparents experienced ending tyranny, its impact is measured in conversations There are flaws here though; many of the flash forwards are overly sentimental making it clash with a story full of self-sacrifice, trauma, and loss The director handles his cast very well though and the careful attention to detail of this particular era Miller himself is the most sympathetic feeling the more he kills the further away from home he becomes but if it means going back then the mission is all that matters So many elements revolve around courage, sacrifice, brotherhood, loyalty, honor, selflessness, liberty, hope, freedom, respect, And this acts as a powerful, terrifying account of physical, mental, and moral trauma as well as the most realistic war movie ever made
Saving Private Ryan is a heroic epic in which the protagonists rise above themselves through war. In my opinion, it is something completely different from, for example, Paths of Glory, in which the war is not seen as a test in which a person can grow. Apart from the scene of the storming of the beach on D-Day (which I find outstandingly realistic), I find Spielberg's film unbearably schmaltzy and extremely problematic against the backdrop of its staging as a hero's story, in which the men only discover their destiny, their deeper meaning in life, as it were, through their war experiences
This is one of the greatest movies ever made to make people see the horrors of war. What comes to mind, is that all through time, the evil politicans' have created these wars and had humans beings killed and hurt for their greed and inablity to learn to co-exist is this, God's world, which is here for all of us. I never cared for John Wayne becasue he was a repubican who made movies that glorified war. That was the way in which politican's were able to get men to become the tools of the government. Thank you to SS for making this movie and honoring your dad and all the men killed in the name of war as a solution. War is never a solution. To me, this is what it represents. If the politcan's want wars, then they should put the gear on and go fight it themselves.
not when a film was finished, but when the D-Day scene was finished Spielberg was in a doubt...My God, 400mega i payed for this movie, nobody will not come... xD i was 6x in cinema on this epic film! :-)
la scène du poignard est insoutenable; je n'ai pu la voir que la première fois ou j'ai vu le film au cinéma; depuis quand je revois le film je la zappe
The music to the film was part of the film. And starting of in the military cemetery at the site of a grave. One thing that many don’t know is the grave of the American cemetery faces towards Maine in the United States Of America. This wasn’t purposely done it was by accident as it was to do with the piece of land the French gave to bury the dead Americans who saved their nation.
I edit myself into movies and TV shows with green screen and was thinking about editing myself into this movie!!! Any movie suggestions would be great!!
