#13 I woulda shot this guy myself

Sploooooge

I was literally punching my couch during this scene. If only i had a magic ticket like in "the last action hero". I would fu!@ him up with a bayonet in the aholio !

bob

whats this from

Juan

Saving Private Ryan
zzzzz

driving miss daisy

dashete

Dude was the goddamn worst!
Made it up in the end though, after EVERYONE was basically dead.

Sploooooge

I saluted Tom Hanks at the end, But i still didn't get the logic about losing a whole platoon for 1 guy….

Jesse

I think Spielberg was making a commentary on war, how so many lives are lost for the whim of one man. How was is futile. At least thats what I got out of it, might have just been about shit blowing up.

joe

Wow, never thought of it like that
JHL1

Was is definately futile.

Coonberry

The men sacrificed their lives that Private Ryan's parents would not lose all of their sons in the same period of the war. That was the point of the opening. The rest of the movie shows how these men were willing to give up their own lives for a greater cause. Too often people think dying for your country is too nebulous a cause, but most soldiers fight for their mates and would do anything for one another. That's why this scene is so brutal…this guy failed to rescue his buddy, he broke the unwritten code between brothers in war. We'd all like to believe that we would have done better, but none of us know how we'd react until we've faced death, bullets, and the misery that defines war.

dan

Well said.
Elcastino

We have to remeber that this guy was a German translator who has spent the war behind a desk to this point. He was not the badass that the other guys were. We would all like to believe we could summon that inner badass when the situation calls for it, but until we face it we will never know if we could rise to the challenge. A lot of guys froze in the face of battle in WWII, this scene was one of the most real in the movie. Many times the guys that froze were able to snap out of it at some point later on as this character did. They were not cowards, just boys that had never faced such terrifying extremes in their lives before.
cory

Wrong. They sacrificed their lives because their country asked them to. They didn't give two shits about Private Ryan and they made it very clear. Even Tom Hank's character felt that way and you can see it when he was crying after they released that German they captured. They started the mission because they were commanded to, they didn't volunteer. Even then, remember that most of them died in that last battle for the bridge, not while they were looking for Ryan. That bridge was very important and they realized it's importance in the war. And Ryan didn't care about living either, he cared about staying with his men and fighting for that bridge. That's what most of them died for. It was ironic that them looking for Ryan put them in the right place to help make a difference in that one battle.
Most of them died for a very important bridge. Only a couple of them died while looking for Ryan.

Arbitrary

I like show tunes!
drew

This was always my take on it as well. The group defending the bridge badly needed reinforcements, and surely would have lost the town without the extra squad of rangers (basically the best the army had to offer) to support the defense. Consider earlier in the movie when they attack the German MG nest at the radar station for the greater war effort. Same idea at the bridge battle, and the fact that Ryan was there gave them more reason to hold it. You could argue the US would have taken the bridge right back when the army rolls in at the end, but Hanks' character didn't know they were that close.

cory

Exactly. Thank you. The idea that these guys gave a flying fuck about Ryan or his mother is insane. Anyone who thinks that didn't bother to listen to the actual dialogue of the film.

BigRick69

Did you all realize that the German they released earlier was the same guy who killed the Americans in this scene?

BigRick69

I might be wrong, but is up for debate.

Ivana Furburger

That's exactly who it was.
DMH1218

Yeah, I realized that the second time I watched it. Thanks, Cory, for your excellent take on the film. Makes me want to watch it again.

HanctheTank

That was why Upham shot him …Upham recognized him while he was hiding and saw him shooting American soldiers.

Cory

Attempt at redemption. Fell short imo. Though you can see that at that moment he switched from a Shakespeare-like and poetic perception of war to more hardened warrior.

kigero

what got me about this dude is that i don't know how i would act when the bullets are flying and people are dropping all around me but given the chance to save your mate by sneaking up and stabbing the crap out of some nazi i would soon gain some courage. hell he could have just ran up there and started yelling and pointing his rifle and he would save his mate and looked a little badass

yaaay

ya… I HATED the guy that got stabbed by the German… fucking whiner… but damn, what a horrible way to go. Still makes me shiver thinking about it.

sc101071

It's Faraday from LOST guys! Give him a break

JLC

Also Dickie from Justified and the crazy hippie guy from Rescue Dawn. Great show/ great movie.

asdf

yeah. this guy got on my nerves the whole damn movie. At the end especially. He walks back to the allied side like a bad-ass because he finally got the ca hones to shot one guy. ONE GUY!! all the while not learning his lesson about letting the enemy go, because he let the other German soldiers go after he shot the guy who killed Tom Hanks. I don't know how I'd react if the bullets were flying, but I'm pretty damn sure, that if I heard a good friend of mine struggling in a hand to hand combat, I wouldn't just fall apart on the stairs and cry like a little bitch. I'd at least go up there with my effing GUN and POINT IT in the FACE of the ENEMY!! UGHGHH! this guy was just a little bitch. he probably didn't even get invited to the premier's after party. lmao.
Marine Dad

I agree with every one . But remember all go through the same training at boot camp. They all know how to shoot, but can they? When my oldest boy's truck was hit in the sand box they all wanted to fight to defend themselves, they did this out of instinct and also they were pissed. At some point training takes over in fight or flight. We have all done things in life that scared the crap out of us but we did it anyway. Until I can get past my macho ideas I will still fast forward past this part in the movie.

Semper

American military basic training was changed after WWII largely to try and prevent incidents like this. There's a brilliant book by an Army Captain by the name of David Grossman about the psychological difficulties associated with taking a life, and how the military identified and tried (with significant success) to circumvent a lot of the problems humans have with the task. It's called "On Killing", and I highly recommend it.

No You

Grossman is hot shit. Anybody thinking of joining the service should read his book.

irrelevant

And, I'm out. If you think this guy is a pansy you totally missed the fucking point and you should be ashamed of yourself.
WWII Historian

Show a little respect. He wasn't the only soldier crying in the middle of a battle field in the movie. Yeah, he pissed me off, but I wouldn't of shot the guy.

I think the things they make out of Oreos are better than the cookies themselves i.e. McFlurries, Oreo ice cream, deep fried Oreos….

Charlie_Cheen

I've got bad news for you…
triumphant

not a good enough reason to watch tennis
its_forge

Why I watch women's skating – the hips and thighs are even MORE hypertrophied, the skirts are even shorter and the bloomers even tinier.

#2 This guy should be the new synonym for flawless acting.
Actors should have to win 'Daniel Day Lewis Awards'.

DrROBOTO

agreed. Hes done some amazing things to get in character. check this out http://www.quora.com/Daniel-Day-Lewis/What-are-th…

Etepi

Agree. There are many people who I like acting in movies but none of them can get into character like Daniel Day Lewis does. By far the best actor in the movie business.

JROC

Bill the Butcher

jaynecobb2

Si1entStatic

the strain on his features and her lack of flailing would suggest he is supporting her entire weight with just his thumbs….. at least there are two holes for him to use…… o.0
Underbaker

Looks painful to me, like she is standing on his crotch.

SpaceCowboy_

Agreed. He's gonna emancipate the shit out of people.

#13 Yea I was like WTF???

dadad

he could have saved his friend, the fucking coward

Vet

They were not his friends. But this was just life in that era.

Killinem

FUCK THAT!!!! Fucking coward I seriously wanted to jump through the TV and kill this guy myself. The sad apart about it is this probably really does happen. You really dont know how you are going to react when put in a position like this, but these are trained military persons. I know it was just a movie but I was SOOOOOOO MAD when this scene was going on…….:)

The one on the right, that's the Amy Winehouse Edition of that girl. What? Too soon?
hMMMM

that's Rooney Mara, granddaughter of Art Rooney (owner of the Steelers) and Tim Mara (owner of the Giants). She was the little girl on NIghtmare on Elm Street. Her sister is the girl in Shooter.

wantomas

Also the hot girl in Youth in Revolt that bangs the Indian guy at the French School. Those chicks are cool. They have a bijillion dollars and act for the fun of it.

Anybody know who the tennisplayer in #14 is? Just wondering…
She does have a great ass, but she couldn't beat our Chivettes that post for Hump Day, GO Chivettes!

miles.v

It's Caroline Wozniacki ( you can find it in the name of the file!)

goldmember

Yep, danish Wozniacki, she is currently ranked 1. i WTA.

Dunny_

She is also currently diddling Rory McIlroy's shillelagh.

https://www.facebook.com/AggeLarsen Agge Skov Larsen

Wozniacki was also my guess but i haven't watched her play that much that I am able to recognize her ass Even though I am Danish my self.
psychoace

Looks like it was setup to me. She looks like she is just shaking it for the camera and she looks to the left for a few seconds. A pro would of took that opportunity and smashed the ball in her face if they got that chance. Also the camera motion seems planned and the lighting and so forth seem wrong. I could be wrong of course but I really think this was just someone that wanted to make a viral gif.
igontxo

Wozniacki!! Another great pic: http://s010.radikal.ru/i313/1011/0b/8eb4125923ec….
patov40

The video someone posted above shows her seriously goofing off for this "match". My guess is it was some kind of benefit exhibition. If so, I wish I knew what it was for. I'd send $20 for that performance!
