SAVING PRIVATE RYAN: FULL REACTION
Added 2023-05-21 01:21:54 +0000 UTCDISCLAIMER**I am very aware not every soldier was a hero and that fear can cripple people into becoming cowards. It is all apart of the heartbreak and insanity of war. These are my UNCUT RAW EMOTIONS when you come to that seen. Usually before I release a full link youtube video there is a grace period I give myself to reflect on my last thoughts and make some changes before I would release the video buuuuuuut this is patreon so enjoy my raw emotions and if you would like me to clarify or explain if my view point has changed just ask.

The bombers at the end should have more realistically been P-47's or Hawker Typhoons. I was always confused why they chose to portray P-51's as "tank busters" when they were almost exclusively used as bomber escorts and fighters. They were very light, nimble aircraft, not really designed with ground attack in mind.

2023-05-25 01:26:50 +0000 UTCI second what YYz said. Your time spent in the service and experience helping vets afterwards created an especially neat watchthrough. Regardless, thank you for your service 💪 You may have browsed comments on other reactions since recording but this movie was rather profound when it hit theatres in the 90's. There were quite a few veterans still alive at the time and the feedback across the nation (and globe, for the matter) was gutteral. Plenty of vets that were actually there on D-day left the cinema due to the overwhelming realism of the opening scene. Some of them said afterwards that the only thing prominent missing was the smell. For the rest that stayed for the entire film almost every report I've ever read said that crowds emptied their seats without a word and exited in reverance, some staying seated long after the curtains dropped in stunned silence. I was just young enough at the time when my father wisely told me I couldn't join him and my mother to the theatres. By the time it hit release he sat me down before we watched to explain what this war meant to the world and for our freedom. I watched in horror, shock, and honor the whole way through. Jackson was one of my cinema heroes as a kid. Upham still is my most loathed. The dichotomy between the two characters is unreal. I would think something wrong with a person whose reaction was anything less. That scene has subtly haunted me my entire life.

2023-05-22 05:04:03 +0000 UTCTop tier reaction as always. There's a reason this movie is hailed as one of the best depictions of WW2 combat (particularly for it's opening sequence) and one of the greatest war movies of all time. And thank you for your service my guy!!

2023-05-22 04:39:30 +0000 UTCI think your response to Upham and his failures to save his company is exactly what they were aiming for as a response from the viewer. I've never been in combat, so I can only assume, but it seems to me that they are trying to show that war isn't fair. Upham lives, fails to save his company, and ends up killing someone anyways. Captain Miller dies despite being a legitimately good man, good Captain, and good soldier. It's frustrating, it's unfair.... and I suspect it's probably very realistic.
