    The death of Wayde (the medic) is one of the most gut wrenching and painful things I have ever seen on film. Many of the American soldiers in WWII were just kids, barely 18 years old, and were forced to serve through the military draft. Many of them were not fit for fighting in a war. Also, a lot of people say how much they hate the character Upham and that he was a coward. But the reality is that he was a translator and not a combat soldier. Again, another harsh reality that war is a nightmare for most people and few can handle the horrible atrocities that come with it as a result.

    Yeah but what does 'live better' mean? Does it mean you should contribute more to society? If so, what does THAT mean? Does it mean you should you be more tolerant of others? Does it mean you should you spend more time defending your values? Does it mean you should be having more children? Maybe less children? Does it mean you should be building a massive ebony obelisk to commemorate all the people who have come before you? Does it mean you should be planting trees everywhere you go so that you can help the people who come after you? What if those trees lead to overpopulation because too many people are able to thrive off them? What if that giant obelisk ends up blocking the flight path of some piece of transport in the future? 'Live better' is worse than useless if there's nothing else to give it context.

    For the beach assault, the plan included a number of things that went wrong on the day. Firstly, the defences were supposed to be largely knocked out by allied bombing, but the bombing missed, leaving them mostly intact. Secondly, the infantry were supposed to be supported by specially modified tanks that could 'swim' to the shore, but the tanks were dropped too far out in seas that were too rough, and they all sank before they got there. The movie took a major slice of artistic licence with the time. In the movie, the beach assault lasts about 20 minutes: in real life it took over 5 hours...

    Everything you said is right, but they did the test in England for the tanks. The water was generally calm, they didn't expect the water to be so rough at Normandy. 2ndly paratroopers were deployed during the night behind enemy lines. Whole fields were flooded by the Germans knowing this would happen. The man who knew where the Allies would assault Western Europe was Erwin Rommel(The Desert Fox, led the Afrika Korps), who got where they would assault based on the invasion of Sicily. Erwin Rommel was the one that built all the main defenses across Normandy ,but obviously didnt finish them. During the Invasion Operation Fortitude was launched a decoy invasion of the city of Calais. George S Patton was the decoy of the invasion. When High command were alerted of this they sent the reserves that were supporting Normandy to Calais. A very big KEY note was Erwin Rommel went home to Germany for his wife's birthday right before the invasion, so he wasnt in command during the invasion. If Erwin stayed in France, Dday would of more likely been a failure. Rommel would of been too smart to fall for the decoy. This isn't a critique but a continuation of what Harold Smith typed.

And even if he did send the reserves from Calais I still think it wouldnt matter. The Canadians and Brits advanced very far Day 1 of landing. Granted the Canadians got smacked by the 12th SS panzer division(made up of mostly young adults and teenagers from hitler youth)but the 12th SS got beaten overall soundly by the british(just by battle exp). The only way for the Germans to win that battle was not having that initial panzer reserve and taking more men off Normandy beach defense to win. Thats where i talk heavily about Erwin Rommel, Rommel was notorious for going with his gut even against high command(Hitler). Invasion of France as key example(ghost division) and his retreat in Africa.

I also thought the stabber was the same guy but he wasn't. They just look similar. (Super race and all that) 5. The story Ryan tells Miller about his brothers the last time together Damon was told to make something up. 6. Lia needs to watch Private Jackson/ Barry Pepper and Tom Hanks in Stephen King's GOAT "The Green Mile". I don't care if she does it with you Ellie. I just want to watch her reaction.

    I know its hard to watch especially the landing scene but when assaulting a fortified position the standard is you need 4 times the men compared to the defenders. A sea assault is much worse. They lost 2600 men that first day. The Brits and Canadians also lost large numbers. This was viewed as the least fortified and easiest beach to hit. If you want truly scary numbers look at the estimates of what the landings on Kyushu in Japan would have been as it was hugely larger than the D-Day landings.

    D-Day was the largest seaborne invasion in history, Omaha beach was a blood bath due to horrible execution and planning. For starters planes dropped 13,000 bombs just prior to the invasion to eliminate a large number of the Germans and they missed all of the targets, not to mention the amphibious tanks they were counting on for support never made it to the beach because they all sank in minutes, they never tested them properly. Many soldiers were dropped off miles away half drowned and soaked without a clue where they even were. The one’s on the beach had to survive the chaos by improvising.

    The look of shock and horror when they landed is appropriate. I’m a soldier. An opposed amphibious landing is one of the worst tactical actions you can try, and only done when there's no other choice. It means sending men and equipment into the kill zone until you win or lose. Unfortunately, someone has to go first, and they aren't coming back.

    Well said. The unfortunate thing about the SPR Omaha beach landing scene is that it gives many people the wrong impression about the planning that went into Operation Neptune. They don’t know about the preparatory aerial and naval bombardments that unfortunately were largely ineffective. Nor do they know about the deception plans that convinced the enemy that Calais would be the location for the main invasion but be proceeded by a diversionary invasion. You wouldn’t believe how many comments I’ve seen over the years claiming whomever planned this should be put on trial for treason or that they were idiots.

It is completely out of character and a glaring departure from the steadfast soldier he had portrayed thus far. There was zero need for it and it detracts from that scene terribly.

Many soldiers where shot and killed before they a ever got off the Higgins boats or drowned after getting off the boat and shot. The water was red with blood with so many being killed or wounded as told by veterans who survived that hell. There are not many of these men left and why they are called the greatest generation...

    5:56 "How many people died just for one try? Just like that." German casualties on D-Day have been estimated at 4,000 to 9,000 men. Allied casualties were documented for at least 10,000, with 4,414 confirmed dead.

    I had seen Arlington Cemetery many times in films and pictures but the first time I saw it in person I almost dropped to my knees. 400,000 white marble tombstones in perfect rows, stretching across 639 acres. Pictures can't do it justice.

    I served as an Army Infantry (Grunt) Sergeant. As a 19-year-old, African American Grunt Private, during the period December 1983-December 1984. I earned my Combat Infantryman Badge for my service inside the Korean DMZ. Essentially, there's no place to run or to hide while engaged in a combat mission. So, you fight to win. We (Grunts) never quit on our brothers, and we never leave our brothers behind. Your emotions and commentary touched my heart. I often wonder if my experiences and service made a difference. South Korea remains free, so I'm thankful. Unfortunately, very nice guys are hurt and are lost to war. This movie demonstrates how brutal and senseless war has always been. I would do it all again and make the same sacrifices.

    I am a Veteran. I have been thru a war. I wanted to crawl thru the TV and hug these two women. That is what war is. Is was sad to see them both watch this movie. But now they understand better what the price of Freedom is. As long as there are men like Hitler and Stalin and Hiro Hito and Putin there will be wars. Greed and ego are the bain of this world. Thank you for putting this together. The pain etched in these ladies faces tells it all. God bless them for having the courage to sit thru this.

    I watched this movie back in 1998, it was a vhs copy and a crappy old tv. I had a lot of feelings back then, but you bet I never thought 23 years later I would be checking a 43 minute video about 2 beautiful girls watching this movie, crying and sobbing in a 4k screen. Its amazing how things change.

    There are so many great reactions to this move, I would really like to see someone reacting to portrayals of the other side. Everbody knows the Downfall memes, but there are no reactors who watched it. Or Das Boot, Stalingrad 1993, Generation War etc. Brilliant made movies. Downfall was even nominated for an Oscar.

    My father was there. He landed on Omaha Beach on D-Day, the worst place in the world and the worst time to be there. By heaven’s grace he survived and fought the war to the end. He has been gone many years now but he is still my hero.

    Enjoyed watching a condensed version of the movie with both of you. Still tough to watch, but proud to have served in the 101st Airborne and able to retire from the Army and continue to serve by supporting our military, veterans, and their families.

    I can imagine what you suffered when watching this movie to react to it. Very few Nations can understand the hell of a war. My country was in one, the Malvinas/Falklands, and I have a lot of respect for veterans. Years ago I was able to visit Normandy and the Cemetery. I prayed for all the boys who died. They fought for EVERYONE, not just for USA to stop Nazism. Thank you for making this reaction, I appreciate the effort and suffering that you endured. Thanks from Argentina.🇦🇷!
