@bigfisherman64 I think all the world should be proud for those men. I'm mexican, and i think those men from America, France or England saved tha world of Adolf Hitler.
If your a grown man and didn't shed a tear during this movie, then you have no heart. I'll have to admit, my father and I saw it in the theater and we cried like babies. Best war movie of all time. JMHO
Not just the best war film,the best film ever made period..... I only wish my Great Grandfather could have seen it,He himself was a Captain he landed on Omaha beach on D-Day.........
The best movie of all time. Words simply will never be able to express how amazing and truly magnificent this remarkable film is. This will be revered for generations to come, and forever will resemble the duty, courage, and sacrifice that took place during this horiffic war.
@cinematicobsession no, it should have won every oscar there is, every year, for the rest of time. they would just go up and say: "well, all these new movies suck shit, so Saving Private Ryan wins em all"
@xGeneralGrievousx It was creepy, luvvie lefties, that infest the industry, and for that matter, the government, law, social services etc... that robbed SPR from best picture award, fact. Most are steaming faggots.
I do not care one bit if people say this film is propaganda. Everyone should see it at least once, no matter how hard it may be. Things like this do happen in wars...and this film captures the horror, brutality, and nobility that is found within any war. Bravo, Steven Spielberg. My hat's off to you.
@OutdoorSurvivalist1 I would go as far to say the best movie ever. Its a movie that makes you wonder why all movies cant be as good as it. It succeeded in keeping the movie focused on the war and excluded and uneccassary love story that too many other war movies have.
ill be a man and say i cried after watching this because the horrors that they went through just so we can live to see our children grow up in a free country is another form of love
This film is just gibberish compared to such wonders as Das Boot, Apocalypse Now, The Deer Hunter and Army in the Shadows ... I've never understood why this is so highly regarded? It's a tale of the heroism of war, with some interesting first minutes, but which from there slides into mediocrity and bland attempts at philosophy. Ad a lot of gunsmoke and screams and people seem to love it.
@Brullumdael you are a mother fucking bitch with no friends, no mum, no penis. I bet you sit on your bed all day dreaming you can wank yourself but you can't. i bet you havn't even watched savong private ryan. And if you hate it why watch this video then you wank liquid
@MrRayfreaks88 Of course, such a reply does make you look like a man, and of course you'll win the discussion (a discussion about art?) by uttering such cultivated and mature words. I think in fact you made my point – a complex personality like yours, why, does it crave more than some gore and guns to fully appreciate a film? Good day to you, sir.
I think that not winning Best Picture was perhaps the greatest compliment that either Steven Spielberg or Terrence Malick could ever have received. I know that's a cynical comment, but to me either "Saving Private Ryan" or "The Thin Red Line" would have had their legacy tarnished had they walked away with such a thankless prize.
Still happy Spielberg won Best Director. Kind of wish he and Malick could have shared it, though :)
Great piece of filmmaking, but a historical fraud. The only Allied soldiers in the movie are Americans. This is bullsh*t. The idea that an American unit could have gone on a search mission in Normandy after landing on the invasion beaches, and only seen other Americans, is crap. 3 of the 5 invasion beaches were captured by Brits and Canadians. Americans made up less than 1/2 of the Allied invasion force. Normandy was crawling with Brits, Canadians, French, Poles and other Allies.
@searcherboy true about the invasion part but if it wasnt for America the allies would have lost, watch band of brothers and read the book, you will see the limeys would have lost if is wasnt for america
@aladdinrulestheworld - The USA was only a factor in the last 11 months of the war in Europe. The USSR lost 24 million people fighting Hitler, 10 million of whom were soldiers. The US lost 418,000 in the entire war. The biggest land battles of the war, Kursk, Prussia, Stalingrad & Vistula, - all on the Russian front - killed 1.7 million German soldiers and destroyed Germany's offensive tank capability. If it weren't for the RUSSIANS the Allies would have lost.
@searcherboy ok but america did win the war in the pacific, i would suggest watching The Pacific, but it wasnt all that good, the battle scenes where ok, but the show is to much romance. but check it out
@searcherboy Yes that is completely true, however, all the different allies had different sectors of the invasion beaches, as well as inland. As the movie was about finding an American paratrooper, in American dropzones / sectors, it is not too much of a stretch for them to see only Americans.
@gp556by45 Not strictly true. The weather got worse just before June 6 but Eisenhower decided the Invasion had to go ahead anyway. Allied paratroopers and gliders got blown all over the place, many of them far from their designated landing zones. Canadians (14,000 on the beaches, 500 dropped inland) advanced several miles from the beachhead the first day - the only force to achieve all its objectives. There were Canadians and Brits all over the place.
the nazies we're only following orders, they we're not evil they were scared like us, but There is no such thing as batman or Superman, but there are heroes that parents raised... men and women no superpowers.... the people that would put their life on the line for us, for their country.. They made the ultimate sacrifice. and we are all greatfull for it..... R.I.P
his is a great film. It shows the complete professionalism of the US army pitted against the SS, Germany's so called elite. Whever they met, the US just walked over them. This has been repeated over and over in history. The US walked over English, the Southern States, the Japanese, the Germans, the Soviets, the Vietnamese, the Iraqis and now the Afghans. No country can match these super humans.
It's true, lots of people only credit this film as 'the film with the awesome d-day landing scene' when in fact the film is a lot more powerful and epic than just that scene. Though as opening scenes go, it doesn't get much more haunting and emotional than that.
The opening has never been the scene that impressed me most, it's basically a lot of visual effects, lots of gore and little acting. Most movie viewers have no clue what a good movie is...sigh
But then again, it is very true to historic fact, which is what it aimed for, and it does introduce the characters very well (the few that got to the shingle).
But yeah i do agree that a lot of movie goers don't know what a good film is, which is why Avatar was so popular over The Hurt Locker, sure Avatar is epic, beautiful and is a good film (just got the blu-ray myself) but The Hurt Locker was a much better film.
Well, that is what happened, and in that respect it is realistic in terms of historic fact. I mean people didn't just fall over on d-day. The aim of that scene was to help people see just how horrifying the d-day landings were, and it succeeded. I mean what acting would have made that scene any better than the outcome? Imo the acting was amazing anyway.
@bluewhale18 Well it still won an oscar for best directing and 4 oscars more besides that :), but still it should have won oscar for best picture i agree. Saving private Ryan is a masterpiece.
id like to repeat what many others said and that this is a movie to remember the fallen in ww2.. wars have always been in our history and as long as there is humans on this earth there will be wars one way or another...anyways amazing film and well worth the money and hours you spend
I think, @RipzMan24, if I took part in this war, it would be excusable to swear as much as they did in this movie. I couldn't imagine what it must have been like.
@Tdi7457 Yeah what I mistake. But, if anything, no one remembers ""Shakespeare in Love" anymore. Everyone remembers AND respects this movie probably more than any movie released that year. That's a true measuring stick for which movie was more deserving.
RipzMan 24 i would be swearing and shitting my pants if i were at war and also its rated R for language so if your offended by it you should have read it
I'm not not complaining, I'm just commenting about it. I did say that Saving Private Ryan was a good film. My fav part was the sniper scene where the gut nailed the german through the scope and into the eye. That was epic
i think that the world is stupid.over 2million people lost there lives in ww2 for our safer future and i think it isnt fair what people are doing to our world they lost there lives to help us have a safer future and a better life.we have murderers and theives who are helping destroy the earth and i think that its a dicrase and aswell as the taliban destroying people and killing u.s soilders it as corpral upum said "This isnt right" and we need to put a stop to it
Uhh... try 40-60 million. the Holocaust alone killed 6 million Jews, and millions of other Allied civilians; not that the Allies didn't have their share in civilian slaughter, but there's no doubt the Axis killed at least 3 times as many civilians as the Allies.
Can anybody tell me why is that the boats that were taking them to the beach had a front door I mean that is just stupid that made the soldiers a easy target why didn't the boats have side doors or something?
lol these posters must be retarded people who never finished high school. your comments are illogical and unbacked. keep your dumbass opinions to yourself. you deserve to die for how stupid and ignorant you are. this is a great movie, portraying what war was like. it is beautiful. it's not propaganda you moron
Rather than attacking someone on a personal level, maybe, it is best to explain how the film affected you or explain why the opinion of the other poster lacks logic.
My first post has this: In fact, the best anti-war movie since Full Metal Jacket.
The movie was great, and I am referring to the entire movie. The first ten minutes was the best first ten minutes I have ever seen in a film, the cruelties of war was properly laid out.
i dont see this as an anti war movie as much as a tribute to all the men who fought and died.... war isnt humane, it never has been, but it must happen. its only our nature.
The rest of the film tells the struggles of saving Private Ryan. Private Ryan was trapped in the cruelties of war, and so was his family. And Tom Hanks character was trying to mellow down the effects of war on Private Ryans family. This struggle of Hanks character was another characteristic of wartime, to risk his own life and the life of his army, for the sake of a countryman. And this struggle was and is what soldiers do, risking their lives for the sake of their countrymen.
It is a tribute to the generation that fought, saying that people won't forget their sacrifice and deeds that resulted from war, the movie also deals with the human cruelty and decency that happens during war time
jesus christ. people are so thick with their comments. the movie was amazing. it was showing the horrifying truths of war. just because some people only like watching things with blood and guts, that doesn't mean the rest of the movie was bad, it just means it show what war is like when their weren't battles going on.
Everytime i watch this amazing movie it touches me. I always end up with tears in my eyes, even though i've seen it time and again. The scene when Tom Hanks is talking to his men and they all notice the compass shaking in his hand and he feels ashamed, gets me everytime... a cinematic classic
I said it 10 years ago, and I'll say it again. This movie was robbed of the Best Picture Award at the Oscars. Of course, SPR has the last laugh since everyone remembers this movie. No one remembers the crapfest that was Shakespere in Love.
We had a dear friend, who passed away a few years ago. He was one of a handful of soldiers, who were the first to survive successfully scaling the cliffs at Omaha Beach on D-Day. He saw this movie and told us that it was the most realistic depiction of war he had ever seen. He said it was so close to being there again that he cried throughout much of the movie. He was still talking about it with us months after he saw it. He, and the fallen others, are heroes. We miss him.
this and black hawk down are the best war movies if u want a more emotional experience saving pvt ryan is better if u want action black hawk down is better
Strictly speaking they're all propaganda, especially the ones you identified as good. As far as being "unrealistic," I'll admit it makes little tactical sense to send a squad after 1 guy. However, I think the army would be willing to risk another 8 or so on top of the thousands already lost in order to avoid a bad PR story.
Now, sending a squad for one guy is not even a problem (in fact, I think it's stupid that the soldiers in the movie are complaining about this mission since they would have risk their lives anyway). But except for maybe the first 10 minutes the whole film is totally unrealistic crap. Nothing of it has anything to do with the real WW2. Neither the GIs nor the Germans behave like actual soldiers and there are absolutely unrealistic things happening all the time. + The movie just says "USA rulez".
WW2 was a bunch of small things like this happening (and there was a squad of soldiers send to get 1 man who lost all his brothers) so it's very realistic. with the actors not acting like real soldiers, everyone in the film was put through 10 days of boot camp(with combat simulations) and commanded by a captain from vietnam(i know its not ww2 but war is war). and the movie wasnt saying usa rules, its was about showing how war had decentcy in it.
Didn't you get it? The scenario that a squad is looking for one guy is okay. But everything else about the movie is crap, up to the the deus ex machina in form of silent tanks and airplanes. And putting the actors for ten days into a bootcamp is ridiculous. I myself have been for two weeks in a German bootcamp with combat simulations and I can tell you that there's still worlds seperating the participants from actual soldiers. Plus the scenario contains a lot of other idiotic stuff and details.
This movie is not a manual on how to fight war, Nor is it a historical reference on how any military fought in WW2. It simply is a memorial, It's a modern day look at how terrible the whole thing was. I'm 23 now, was 13 the first time I saw it. I knew nothing about WW2 then. I didn't know just how brutal and gruesome it was. The degree of violence of what I saw was a complete surprise. Yes, I'm sure their technique and combat strategy is unrealistic. But the movie is fiction. Remember that.
Only the first ten minutes are delivering this. The rest is just propaganda. It's not telling us "this war was horrible", it's telling us "war is turning you into a man", "the good guys always win" and "we Americans are the good guys". Also it's telling us "we had stealth bombers in WW2 with engines you can only hear once the first bomb has been dropped and killed a German tank! - and we head silent tanks as well!!!"
Americans arent the "good guys" if you honestly think about it no1 is its just from different points of view across the world. Don't get me wrong though the things that the Nazis and the Axis did were absolutely terrible but the things we did to the germans and the people fighting for their country were also terrible war isn't one sided its just something that happens that is awful
Are you saying that Russia could have defeated Nazi Germany alone?! Russia would have been crushed if Germany's supply lines weren't deterred by Britain for almost 40 years. If it weren't for the western front in WW1 and 2 (remember the Russians bitched out in ww1) you would be speaking German. Also, Japan would have been free to attack Russia from the far east. Things would not have ended nicely for Russia had the Allies not been involved.
And this movie is supposed to be an anti war movie (it has the reputation of one) and it's totally failing at this. The only message is: "In war there's good guys and bad guys and it's awesome to be the good guys... which is us - the US of fucking A!." That's just American (or generally Western) propaganda, and a propaganda film cannot be considered a masterpiece - unless you evaluate Nazi and communist propaganda the same way and most people would never dare doing so.
if thats what you think, then dont watch it...but i dont see how its says "being the good guys is awesome", the allies were getting fucked up by the germans all throughout the movie
One of the most effective scene in the movie: There was a soldier, holding his stomach, his intestines are coming out. He was crying "Mama! Mama!" That scene was already enough to tell that it was an anti-war movie. In fact, the best anti-war movie since Full Metal Jacket.

But then again, it is very true to historic fact, which is what it aimed for, and it does introduce the characters very well (the few that got to the shingle).
But yeah i do agree that a lot of movie goers don't know what a good film is, which is why Avatar was so popular over The Hurt Locker, sure Avatar is epic, beautiful and is a good film (just got the blu-ray myself) but The Hurt Locker was a much better film.

Because tons of people got killed and people lose their head or limbs it's very true to historic fact? lol

@zonexll
Well, that is what happened, and in that respect it is realistic in terms of historic fact. I mean people didn't just fall over on d-day. The aim of that scene was to help people see just how horrifying the d-day landings were, and it succeeded. I mean what acting would have made that scene any better than the outcome? Imo the acting was amazing anyway.

And if you're so smart what really happened at d-day then?
Because Spielberg gained his intelligence from vets who were there. Were you there?

Uhh... try 40-60 million. the Holocaust alone killed 6 million Jews, and millions of other Allied civilians; not that the Allies didn't have their share in civilian slaughter, but there's no doubt the Axis killed at least 3 times as many civilians as the Allies.

Rather than attacking someone on a personal level, maybe, it is best to explain how the film affected you or explain why the opinion of the other poster lacks logic.
My first post has this: In fact, the best anti-war movie since Full Metal Jacket.
The movie was great, and I am referring to the entire movie. The first ten minutes was the best first ten minutes I have ever seen in a film, the cruelties of war was properly laid out.

SeanTagen 2 years ago
...cont...
The rest of the film tells the struggles of saving Private Ryan. Private Ryan was trapped in the cruelties of war, and so was his family. And Tom Hanks character was trying to mellow down the effects of war on Private Ryans family. This struggle of Hanks character was another characteristic of wartime, to risk his own life and the life of his army, for the sake of a countryman. And this struggle was and is what soldiers do, risking their lives for the sake of their countrymen.

It is a tribute to the generation that fought, saying that people won't forget their sacrifice and deeds that resulted from war, the movie also deals with the human cruelty and decency that happens during war time

jesus christ. people are so thick with their comments. the movie was amazing. it was showing the horrifying truths of war. just because some people only like watching things with blood and guts, that doesn't mean the rest of the movie was bad, it just means it show what war is like when their weren't battles going on.

We had a dear friend, who passed away a few years ago. He was one of a handful of soldiers, who were the first to survive successfully scaling the cliffs at Omaha Beach on D-Day. He saw this movie and told us that it was the most realistic depiction of war he had ever seen. He said it was so close to being there again that he cried throughout much of the movie. He was still talking about it with us months after he saw it. He, and the fallen others, are heroes. We miss him.

fotakatos 2 years ago
@fotakatos
Strictly speaking they're all propaganda, especially the ones you identified as good. As far as being "unrealistic," I'll admit it makes little tactical sense to send a squad after 1 guy. However, I think the army would be willing to risk another 8 or so on top of the thousands already lost in order to avoid a bad PR story.
scottyo218 2 years ago
Now, sending a squad for one guy is not even a problem (in fact, I think it's stupid that the soldiers in the movie are complaining about this mission since they would have risk their lives anyway). But except for maybe the first 10 minutes the whole film is totally unrealistic crap. Nothing of it has anything to do with the real WW2. Neither the GIs nor the Germans behave like actual soldiers and there are absolutely unrealistic things happening all the time. + The movie just says "USA rulez".
fotakatos 2 years ago
WW2 was a bunch of small things like this happening (and there was a squad of soldiers send to get 1 man who lost all his brothers) so it's very realistic. with the actors not acting like real soldiers, everyone in the film was put through 10 days of boot camp(with combat simulations) and commanded by a captain from vietnam(i know its not ww2 but war is war). and the movie wasnt saying usa rules, its was about showing how war had decentcy in it.
pwnyinatincan 2 years ago
Didn't you get it? The scenario that a squad is looking for one guy is okay. But everything else about the movie is crap, up to the the deus ex machina in form of silent tanks and airplanes. And putting the actors for ten days into a bootcamp is ridiculous. I myself have been for two weeks in a German bootcamp with combat simulations and I can tell you that there's still worlds seperating the participants from actual soldiers. Plus the scenario contains a lot of other idiotic stuff and details.
fotakatos 2 years ago
This movie is not a manual on how to fight war, Nor is it a historical reference on how any military fought in WW2. It simply is a memorial, It's a modern day look at how terrible the whole thing was. I'm 23 now, was 13 the first time I saw it. I knew nothing about WW2 then. I didn't know just how brutal and gruesome it was. The degree of violence of what I saw was a complete surprise. Yes, I'm sure their technique and combat strategy is unrealistic. But the movie is fiction. Remember that.
abusementpark54321 2 years ago
@abusementpark
Only the first ten minutes are delivering this. The rest is just propaganda. It's not telling us "this war was horrible", it's telling us "war is turning you into a man", "the good guys always win" and "we Americans are the good guys". Also it's telling us "we had stealth bombers in WW2 with engines you can only hear once the first bomb has been dropped and killed a German tank! - and we head silent tanks as well!!!"
fotakatos 2 years ago
Americans arent the "good guys" if you honestly think about it no1 is its just from different points of view across the world. Don't get me wrong though the things that the Nazis and the Axis did were absolutely terrible but the things we did to the germans and the people fighting for their country were also terrible war isn't one sided its just something that happens that is awful

Are you saying that Russia could have defeated Nazi Germany alone?! Russia would have been crushed if Germany's supply lines weren't deterred by Britain for almost 40 years. If it weren't for the western front in WW1 and 2 (remember the Russians bitched out in ww1) you would be speaking German. Also, Japan would have been free to attack Russia from the far east. Things would not have ended nicely for Russia had the Allies not been involved.

And this movie is supposed to be an anti war movie (it has the reputation of one) and it's totally failing at this. The only message is: "In war there's good guys and bad guys and it's awesome to be the good guys... which is us - the US of fucking A!." That's just American (or generally Western) propaganda, and a propaganda film cannot be considered a masterpiece - unless you evaluate Nazi and communist propaganda the same way and most people would never dare doing so.

One of the most effective scene in the movie: There was a soldier, holding his stomach, his intestines are coming out. He was crying "Mama! Mama!" That scene was already enough to tell that it was an anti-war movie. In fact, the best anti-war movie since Full Metal Jacket.
