1. Many WWII vets left the theaters because the D-Day battle scenes were so realistic. 2. The German Captain Miller was talked into letting go is the same one that killed him. Upham finally put him down. 3. The story Ryan tells Miller about the last time he saw his brothers was made up by Matt Damon. He was told to say something interesting, so he did, and it was kept in the movie. 4. There really was a USS Sullivans(DD- 68) dedicated to the brothers lost on one ship. That's why all brother soldiers/sailors from one family can't be assigned to the same command. 5. I did 24 years in the US Navy. My favorite character is Private Jackson/sniper and my second favorite is Sargent Horvath. RIP Tom Sizemore😇 6. Sizemore also played Boxman in "Flight of the Intruder", a movie I'm in briefly.

"Hell, these guys deserve to go home as much as I do. They've fought just as hard." "Is that what I'm supposed to tell your mother when she gets another folded American flag?" "You can tell her that when you found me, I was with the only brothers I had left. And that there was no way I was deserting them. I think she'd understand that." Fun Fact: Steven Spielberg cast Matt Damon as Private Ryan because he wanted an unknown actor with an All-American look. He did not know Damon would win an Oscar for Good Will Hunting (1997) and become an overnight star before the film was released. Irish Invasion Fact: The Omaha Beach scene cost $11 million to shoot, and involved up to 1,000 extras, some of whom were members of the Irish Army Reserve. Of those extras, 20-30 of them were amputees, issued with prosthetic limbs, to play soldiers who had their limbs blown off. Historical Fact: Upham's shoulder patch, a blue and grey "yin yang" symbol, identifies him as a member of the 29th U.S. Infantry Division. It symbolizes the fact that the division was composed of units from Virginia and Maryland, who fought on both sides of the American Civil War.

We have the medicine today to keep their heart beating all the way to an aid station, but it wouldn't be enough to bring them back. There's an old saying that accompanied morphine usage in the field that we use today to remember to keep track of medication and dosages administered, "One to make you see Jesus, two to make you go to him."

Aria: That was a wonderful reaction to an amazing movie. I'm a 3rd generation American (Irish, Polish, Norwegian ancestry), and 3rd Generation US Army veteran. Civilization doesn't just happen, it has to be fought for because there truly is evil in the world that can snatch it away in the blink of an eye. Civilization has to be EARNED. That's what Miller was saying to Ryan, and that's what Spielberg was saying to his audience. "Earn this!". Millions have sacrificed over hundreds of years to convert the West from constant warfare, plague and famine to the longest sustained peace in recorded European history. Places like Africa, South & Central America, parts of the Middle East and Asia...these places have either lost or have never developed their point of "civilization". That isn't to say we're perfect - far from it. We've only been at this level for about a century, but a century of sustained peace has created the highest standard of living for the greatest number of people in the world than ever before. Be not afraid. Let not your heart be troubled. Have faith, but watch your six, and stay on guard.

There's a reason the PTSD problems were so much more severe for veterans of this war. This was an era when "men don't cry." "Men aren't supposed to show their feelings or hurt inside." Stuff like that. You were just supposed to suck it up and deal with it and get on with your life. It's not surprising that these veterans didn't talk about their experiences when they got home; who, except other veterans, could possibly understand something like this?

My father was a WWII veteran, he also landed at Omaha Beach. He told me the experience was worse than what's in the movie. One of the only times I saw him cry was when we saw this at the theater.

A more in depth look at the real experience of the war from the soldier viewpoint is the 2001 miniseries "Band of Brothers". It follows the men of "Easy" company, 2nd battalion, 506th parachute infantry regiment of the 101st airborne division. It follows them from D-day to the end of the war in Germany. Hanks and Spielberg were heavily involved in the direction and production, and it won a ton of awards. There are 10 episodes so it can easily be covered over 10 weeks and it gives you a more in-depth understanding of what it did to the individual soldiers from their own point of view. If the series format works for you, I also suggest the show "Firefly" an excellent space cowboy show cancelled after only 12 shows.

They're was a saying in the War about morphine... "1 to ease the pain, 2 to take the pain away." meaning an overdose causing death.

Many World War II veterans didn't tell their stories until they were elderly. Many of them being in their 70s or 80s before they finally opened up about their experiences during the war. Many of them say they experienced vivid flashbacks in their dreams for 50+ years after the war and they'd wake up screaming and their spouses would have to calm them down, without understanding exactly what they went through.

Great reaction to an important film!! Everyone should watch this and remember why we have freedom.

Great reaction, Aria. I appreciate you sharing your thoughts with us at the end. I remember seeing this in the theater when it came out. The first 30 minutes was the most intense movie experience I've ever had and one of my most vivid memories of seeing a film. I still remember the intensity of the sound through the theater's audio system during the opening and the final battle sequence. It really left an impression on me.

It's another Spielberg film as well, and perhaps his best. It's also based on a true story.

(1956), The Burmese Harp (1956), The Enemy Below (1957), The Young Lions (1958), Ashes and Diamonds (1958), Two Women (1960), The Guns of Navarone (1961), The Train (1964), Carriage to Vienna (1966), The Big Red One (1980), Das Boot (1981), Come and See (1985), Letters from Iwo Jima (2006). Each of these films offers something special or different from the usual fare of WWII films. Pick any one of them to watch and see for yourself. Some of them might be hard to find. Mubi probably carries them all, but I haven't checked. And here is a short list of great films about the impact the war had on the men who fought in it after they came home. These are American and British films: The Best Years of Our Lives (1946), Key Largo (1948), Act of Violence (1949), The Third Man (1949), Bad Day at Black Rock (1955).

How is this *moviedump* helpful? You think she's gonna go through and research all that? What a weird comment, weirdo.

Another war movie made that same year is The Thin Red Line, which is set in the Pacific. It's more low keyed and not quite as graphic as this film. It's not as well known as Saving Pvt Ryan, but is well worth seeing. I appreciate your quiet and thoughtful review of this film, particularly your concerns about the effects of wars on the the men who fight them.

Everyone expresses themselves differently, I dont cry often , even when an older family member passes. Your not emotionless, it's common

They got the idea for this movie based on the Niland brothers that were mentioned in the book (1992) "Band of Brothers" which with the success of this movie HBO made the 10 part mini series "Band of Brothers" in the book 2 Troopers of E/506th (Muck & Malarkey ). meet up while on leave with Sergeant Frederick William "Fritz" Niland (H/501st PIR , 101st A/B)and his Brother Bob Niland (D/505th PIR 82nd A/B) BOB had been on combat in the MTO (N.Africa/Sicily/Italy) so the picked his brain about combat and he was killed on june 6th while manning his machine gun. Second Lieutenant Preston Thomas Niland was killed on june 7th with the 22nd Infantry Regiment, 4th Infantry Division,, Technical Sergeant Edward Francis Niland was shot down in may in Burma but was taken as a POW. their was no rescue mission it was when Fritz went to find his brother Bob over at the 82nd that the chaplain found him and he was sent home and served state side as a MP till the end of the war.

Fubar means “fucked beyond all Recognition” You gotta check out band of brothers it’s a great mini tv show

I saw this movie at a theater at Cannon AFB. At the end, everyone leaving the theater was silent. Amazing movie, sooooo well done. A few more Tom Hanks movies that are must-see include Forrest Gump and The Green Mile. You'll cry at each movie but they are so amazing! For some action movies, you definitely want to react to several Arnold Schwarzenegger movies. To name a few: Terminator & Terminator 2 Predator Commando Kindergarten Cop True Lies I would also recommend The Expendables series. Simple plots, lotsa action, big names. A cult favorite from the 80s would be Barry Gordy's The Last Dragon. The soundtrack is fire! Served with a loveable amount of cheese and the meanest, the prettiest, the baddest mofo low down around this town, Sho'nuff!

K.I.A military abbreviation for (Killed In Action) or M.I.A (Missing In Action)

I'm not a big crier at movies, myself; it's more likely that a song wilol get to me. If you want to really test yourself - and watch one of thw greatest movies ever made - watch 'The Green Mile,' coincidentally starring Tom Hanks and Michael Clark Duncan.

I really like your reactions. They feel very genuine and true. Don't feel obligated to cry or show an expected emotion. Keep it up! You may want to play around with the audio levels in editing so we can hear your commentary more clearly. Otherwise i love it as is.

Please don’t stress or explain about not crying. You can see in your face that you feel it. Your facial expressions speak tears. You didn’t ruin the reaction by talking over film either which is really good. I’ve subscribed

Hey you're awesome, I'm saaaacribing!!! 🙂🙂🙂

If a man doesn't cry they won't call him cold.

Schindler's List. It's difficult to watch but everyone should see it at least once in their lives.

Great and touching reaction, Aria....and i recommend (as others have) HBO's miniseries Band Of Brothers, which is a TRUE story of a company of soldiers in the WW2 European theatre (starring young starting actors like James McAvoy, Simon Pegg, Tom Hardy, Colin Hanks and others...all playing real life soldiers)....some call it (including myself) the greatest TV series of all time (and again, produced by both Spielberg and Hanks, as others mentioned).

Just ignore Episode 4. Its highly inaccurate and it belittles the real life British tank unit.

The last time I cried was when I was 16 and the girl I loved killed herself. I am will be 52 in a couple weeks. It's not that I'm not emotional, but like you, tears just don't come anymore.

Based on what you said at the beginning of your video, I suggest doing the incredible scifi "Interstellar" (2014), and keep the tissues nearby. Just in case! 😁

I can't do that sorry. I have already seen interstellar and I love that movie. Thankyou for the suggestion though. It was very emotional when Mathew's character comes back from the water planet and sees all the footages his family sent him throughout the years

@@ariachanson01 Thanks for the reply Aria. Interstellar is one of my fav scifi movies to date. There's another Matt McConaughey scifi with Jodie Foster "Contact" (1997) you might enjoy. A story written by Dr. Carl Sagan of "Cosmos" 1980s TV science series fame. But since you've done the Star Wars original trilogy I suggest the three prequels. And the "Back to the Future" trilogy is a fun one too... no crying required! LOL! Don't let others deter you from having fun doing these movie reactions simply because you cry or don't cry. You're enjoyable to watch because you don't babble thru movies, you watch them closely and what remarks you do make are interesting and well timed! I'll hit subscribe so to see your videos pop up more often. Take care. ✌😎

This is the greatest war movie ever created. I remember WW2 veterans saying they had to walk out of the theater because it was too much, they said the d-day beach landing interpretation was so accurate, the only thing missing was the smell of diesel.

That was the hardest thing about that beach scene, that it was represented all very real

I had the good fortune of knowing a vet who was actually there at that beach during the assault. He affirmed the movie was all too real in it's depiction. The one thing the movie doesn't depict is just how long that battle lasted: 6 hours.

Very emotional movie, there are a few sad parts of the movie. The most saddest part is when the medic wants morphine and then dies. The second most saddest part is when the mother gets 3 death certificates

Even though this is an historical fiction, it is based on actual situations where the military pulled servicemen from active duty in WWII where most of the brothers in a single family had been killed in action. Even though these are difficult war movies to sit through, I do highly recommend "Apocalypse Now" (theatrical cut only), "Patton," "The Killing Fields," "Platoon," "The Deer Hunter," "Casualties of War," and "Born on the Fourth of July." For a different twist on the horrors of the Vietnam War, "Jacob's Ladder" is a creepy and yet very moving take on a veteran dealing with his trauma.

Apocalypse Now should be watched with the Redux version - as the director intended. The theatrical scene is not very good.

@@tileux I disagree. The pacing is ruined with the longer cuts. The theatrical version is practically perfect as is. The added plantation scene is as if the audience was dropped into the middle of a completely different movie and it slams the breaks on the core story.

@@dan_hitchman007 disagree all you like. the theatrical version is shit. The theatrical version actually leaves out Saruman's death - christopher lee was famously furious about that and had a big fight with peter jackson over it - Id take christopher lee's opinion on that over yours any day. If you think thats perfect then youre pretty easiy pleased. Seriously, your view on this is idiotic.

When you’re war you wish you live through it, but when you leave the war you wish you died in it. It’s called survivors guilt PTSD.

So far, I like your reactions. You don't over talk the video to much. I'll watch more. If you wish to expand on the War Genre, I suggest "Hacksaw Ridge" & "Band of Brothers"! Both are based on actual events and real people.

If you want a film to cry to, try The Green Mile. Best film ever x

In combat the saying about morphine "one for pain, two for eternity"

Lovely reaction.

In the vein of emotional films, I would love to see your reaction to Children of Men (if you haven't already seen it). Movies rarely make me feel much at all, but this is a true exception and the filmmaker earns every second of it. My favourite film of all time.

Earn this, earn it.
