i also liked this reaction, wasnt over the top like alot of american reaction youtubers, just a guy going through it physically and emotionally haha good work

bravehart is like a skeleton of actual history, then all the muscles and veins and skin are dramatised in the hollywood fashion. the sentiment is there though 100%

10/10 Excellent Fiction comedy.

I'm glad to know know I'm not the only one who watched Awakenings and sobbed my heart out. De Niro is excellent here, the scenes in which he starts developing ticks and eventually gets worse are so hard to watch.

The juror who scolds the other about voting not guilty is a hypocrite. The first vote he waited to see what others voted and voted guilty without even discussing the case.

Afternoon. Although set in Maine, the prison used was the Ohio State Reformatory in Mansfield, Ohio. The large main building and Cell Block 1 are now a Museum. They offer tours, can be used for special occasions, and offer overnight cell accommodations for the brave. ( haunted ) The street scenes were primarily N. Main St where the shop owners agreed to have their stores redone to fit the time period. Many still look the same. The halfway house is the Bissman Building, and still looks the same today. (It was a beer distributor, hence the name "Brewery") The store was the E and B Market on 4th Street which has been torn down. I was fortunate to be an extra con in the yard scenes. The premiere was held at Mansfield's Renaissance Theatre, a restored 1929 movie palace, before New York and Los Angeles. I volunteered working the theatre restoration. The prison was also used in the movie "Tango & Cash” and was the Russian cell block in "Airforce One". An interesting side note: In the bad winters, crows from 7 or 8 counties move into Mansfield by the hundreds due to large granaries that used to be between town and the prison. Brook's crow was a natural. The passage of time from the unfiltered Chesterfields to the filtered cigarettes offered Tommy by the warden, and the subtle aging of everyone is superb. Many people miss the subtlety of when Brooks left the prison, you see the prison through the gates, and when Red left you are looking forward over the fields toward the town. And they don't notice when the warden opens the Bible and finds the cut out, that it is the book of Exodus! I am 75 now with Parkinson's and don't get to attend movies very often. I enjoy the reaction videos on CZcams.

I enjoy watching films with people who understand filmmaking - I don’t. Your observations make it interesting. Thank you…

Qt tried to match the horror of the actual night but still couldn't come close. That's how fucked it was.

Greetings from New England, USA! Thank God for you Brits standing alone in the world, severely out gunned and grossly outnumbered, against those damned NAZIS. For over two years you held the line and delivered to Hitler his first defeats of the war, all while the rest of us were busy getting our crap together. As Churchill said: “THIS was their finest hour!” Big love 🇬🇧!

This is one of only two movies that I gave "10's" to six actors in it. The easiest two to give them to were Morgan Freeman and Tom Robbins. I also gave the 10 score to Clancy Brown as Captain Hadley, William Sadler as Heywood, and James Whitmore as Brooks. But I almost gave an 11 score to Bob Gunton's portrayal of Warden Norton. The Warden may very well be one of the greatest cinematic villains ever as far as the levels of cruelty and evil the man was composed of. Absolutely masterful. (Also Gil Bellows was a strong 9 with his portrayal of Tommy Williams.)

One of the most moving films, I have cried through it several times and it has lost none of its impact. Stephen Spielberg, Liam Neeson and Ben Kingsley are masters of their craft. The Holicaust has left an indelible stain on the 20th Century.

This movie is a work of art....well done Mel...well done!

Hanks has portrayed a wide variety of characters with personality difficulties. One of the earliest and simplest yet most fun was Turner and Hooch.

The opening scene Ryan goes to the grave of his brother, at the end he's at the grave of Capt. Miller's grave. His family is directly behind him at the first grave site, at the end, his family remains at a respectful distance, except for his wife who has no idea who Miller is. Ryan went home and never told anyone about that day in Ramell. The opening scene Ryan goes to the grave of his brother, at the end he's at the grave of Capt. Miller's grave. His family is directly behind him at the first grave site, at the end, his family remains at a respectful distance, except for his wife who has no idea who Miller is. Ryan went home and never told anyone about that day in Ramell. WW II was fought by men; the average age of U. S. combat personnel was 26 years old. The SGT. in the assault boat wasn't putting food in his mouth, that was chewing tobacco. They were in very rough seas and it took hours for the soldiers to disembark the troop ships into the Higgins Boats. Not knowing when they would ever have a good cooked meal again, many of the soldiers ate a hearty breakfast before disembarking. The first group to load into the boats bobbed around in the water for several hours before heading toward the beach. Many get seasick during that time. The vomit wasn't the main problem, the blood in the boats created a psychological problem when the boats returned to bring more soldiers to the beach. In Vietnam, the average age of combat personnel was 22, not 19 as many people think. Also, the largest number of U. S. personnel killed in action in Vietnam enlisted not draftees. Spielberg researched small details, for instance, Pvt Jackson's right thumb has a black mark on it. That's actually a bruise that many U. S. riflemen had caused from getting their thumb caught in the loading mechanism from not locking the bolt back properly when loading/reloading the M1 Garand rifle. It was called "Garand thumb". The Hitler Youth Knife is more literary liberty than fact. That knife is a hiking knife given to members of the Hitler Youth Corps, which was much like the Boy Scouts in training while being indoctrinated with the ideology of National Socialist German Workers Party (Nazi). The only other group they were issued to were members of the SA. This knife was never part of a soldier of the Wehrmacht. As for the reaction of Carparzo and Mellish, it is highly unlikely an average G.I. would have known what that knife was and its symbolism. The matter of Mellish crying is also not likely as the Allies didn't find out about the fate of Jews in Europe until the first concentration camp was liberated April 4, 1945. The war in Europe ended May 7, 1945. So, following the real timeline, Mellish dies before the Allies knew anything about concentration and death camps. But, after-all, it is Hollywood. Saving Private Ryan is not based on the Sullivan brothers. Fritz Niland became the basis for Private Ryan. He was dropped behind enemy lines on D-Day and spent five days in the French countryside, eventually earning a Bronze star in combat for taking a French. Robert Rodat first came up with the plot in 1994 when he saw a monument in a cemetery in Tonawanda, New York. The monument was to the Niland Brothers - 4 young American men who fought in the Second World War. When three of the Nilands were reported killed, the surviving brother - Fritz - was sent home. This inspired Rodat to write his movie. There are 26 military cemeteries across Normandy, but the most famous and visited site is the poignant Normandy American Cemetery in Colleville-sur-Mer. The Normandy American Cemetery and Memorial in France is located in Colleville-sur-Mer, on the site of the temporary American St. Laurent Cemetery, established by the U.S. First Army on June 8, 1944 as the first American cemetery on European soil in World War II. The cemetery site, at the north end of its half mile access road, covers 172.5 acres and contains the graves of 9,387 of our military dead, most of whom lost their lives in the D-Day landings and ensuing operations. In real life with the Nilands, it actually turned out later that another of the brothers was alive - he’d been held captive in a Burmese POW camp. Attempts to point out the "discrepancies" between the stories of Fritz Niland and James Ryan are often misguided, as Ryan is only based on Niland, and is not meant to be (or claimed to be) a completely accurate representation of him. The differences in the two stories seem to stem in part from the fact that the true story of Sergeant Niland and his brothers is often reported inaccurately. The character of Private James Ryan is a mixture of fact and fiction, with some of the fictional elements coming from the erroneous stories about the Niland brothers. The German credited as "Steamboat Willie" who was released by Capt. Miller is not the German who engaged and killed Pvt Stanley "Fish Mellish during hand-to-hand combat. "Steamboat Willie" was in the Heer (Army) of the Wehrmacht and the other was in the Waffen SS which was a paramilitary organization and not part of the Wehrmacht. Originally, the SS uniform differed from the Wehrmacht uniform-whereas the regular army wore field grey, the SS wore black, head to toe (although later the SS did adopt field grey and often wore camouflage pattern uniform. American troops were brown and they didn't wear jackboots. The lightning bolt SS insignia can be seen on the right collar lapel of the German as he passes Upham and reaches the bottom of the staircase. During the Battle at Ramelle, Upham became shell shocked and was unable to save a .30 cal team from a German soldier because he was too frozen with fear to do anything about it. He carried all the .30 caliber ammo at the battle of Ramelle, but was unable to do his job because he was always either pinned down or too afraid to move. He signified the loss of innocence in war and thought that soldiers could be civil, but he later succumbed to the evils of war and made up for his cowardice when he shot Steamboat Willie for killing Miller even after the latter had shown Willie mercy earlier. Not only did Upham represent the loss of innocence of war but he also symbolized the "Every-man". His illusion of neutrality faded when he finally had to pick and side and kill Steamboat Willie, his character revelation being how he finally understood the horrors of war. It became clear that Upham had turned into a hardened and true soldier because of the whole experience. Upham's rank was Tech 5 Corporal (E-5), that meant he was technician in a specialty area. His was maps and translator, he was not a combat infantryman and was never trained for front-line duty. Gunnery Sergent Hartman explained it this way in the movie Full Metal Jacket: "It is your killer instinct which must be harnessed if you expect to survive in combat. Your rifle is only a tool. It is a hard heart that kills. If your killer instincts are not clean and strong you will hesitate at the moment of truth. You will not kill. "The way the next of kin was notified of their loved one was killed in action during WW II was by Western Union telegram delivered by a bicycle riding messenger. If you were being notified of multiple deaths as was the case in this film, notification was done in-person by a military officer, usually from the same branch of service as the deceased when possible. That's why the mother upon seeing the officer exit the car momentarily froze knowing that meant at least 2 of her boys were either KIA or MIA, as the priest exits the car, she staggers and completely collapsed. Unfortunately, you didn't include that in your video presentation. That is one of the most important scenes in the movie. The mother speaks no lines in the movie, yet her breakdown brought a flood of tears form movie goers in theaters across the nation. Another important scene is it is clear from the few lines Ryan's wife speaks that she has never heard the name of Capt. John Miller, this means John has never spoken to her about what happened that day in Ramelle. What many missed is listening to Ryan speaking at the Miller's grave of how he thought about what those 8 men did for him every day was not guilt, but commitment. There are units assigned to recover, bury and mark graves. Usually these were temporary battlefield cemeteries. As hostilities moved farther away, a more permanent site would be selected, at the family's request, whenever possible, the remains would be returned to the United States. At the Normandy Cemetery Visitors Center, you'll find the following inscription: IF EVER PROOF WERE NEEDED THAT WE FOUGHT FOR A CAUSE AND NOT FOR CONQUEST, IT COULD BE FOUND IN THESE CEMETERIES. HERE WAS OUR ONLY CONQUEST: ALL WE ASKED … WAS ENOUGH … SOIL IN WHICH TO BURY OUR GALLANT DEAD.General Mark W. ClarkChairman, American Battle Monuments Commission, 1969-1984

“How did the nazis come to be anyway?” Britain just had its own Night of Broken Glass just last week we’ve gone from jew to Muslim (and brown people in general) but the sentiment and the violence is still the same, as fascism is a blue print, and no matter what nationality, these thugs aren’t smart enough to deviate.

why isnt a red cap a good look? we can agree to disagree but 10s of millions prefer trump to kamala my friend.

A very enjoyable and insightful reaction to a wonderful film. With your knowledge of film making it’s such a shame your video was so short, it gave me the impression of being a bit rushed. Forrest’s scene near the end at Jenny’s grave was a masterful piece of acting by Hanks, yet you hardly featured it, such a disappointment.

This film is a Rembrandt. All art, depth, brilliantly blocked---and actors who were flawless. In a category by itself.

you will get some people saying it's all rubbish, nothing is true in the movie, but some of the events in this movie did happen, William Wallace did NOT have an affair with the princess of Wales, as she would have only been a child at the time, Wallace did invade England but to what length, we are not 100% sure, but to me, everything in this movie is true, even though it isn't, only because I'm Scottish and live not far from where William Wallace did. lol

Best film ever. It combines the best aspects of a play with everything cinematography has to offer. (Well, it doesn't have any special effects but special effects wouldn't have served any purpose)

A very good movie b ut historical completely inaccurate!!! For ex the historical William Wallace was not a farmer but a nobleman, the battle at Stirling in the movie is completely wrong; in real it was at a bridge and therefor it is also called the battle of Stirling Bridge, William Wallace was not betrayed by Robert the Bruce, the father of Robert the Bruce suffers of leprosy in the movie, also not true in real the father of Robert the Bruce was Robert Brus VI en he died a natural death, he was also a friend of the Engllish king Eduard I with who he went on crusade. The movie gives with the name Braveheart to much credit to William Wallace because in real the real Braveheart was Robert Bruce VII who became king of Scotland after defeating the English led by the English king Eduard II at Loundoun hill on May 10 1307. If you want to know the real story of Scotlands independancy, watch the movie Outlaw king, advice of me an historian

Remember you Tommys were experiencing the same farther up the beach at Juno and Sword.

Universities today are dominated by subversive neo-marxists, self haters of western cultures and Christianity. The alternative will be horrifying and you will get to witness it sooner than you think.

As an American we threw off British rule but became close again.

Remember Britain was late to adopt slavery in its colonies after millennia of it being the norm and it was one of the first to end it. Never despise your history. Learn from it. The Marxists in your universities want you to hate your heritage. Its his they operate.

Britain has her sins but England gave the world much more that is much to be proud of but not in a haughty way. The Anglo nations saved the world from totalitarian dominance several times.

Although not entirely historically accurate in some ways, Scotland was a primitive tribal or klanish land and ultimately their subjugation made them a better people that gave us amazing Scotish thinkers like Adam Smith and Biblical scholars as well.

The worst part of this movie is knowing that Amon Goeth was actually WORSE in real life. Spielberg toned him down because he didn't believe an audience would accept just how cartoonishly evil he was.

Awsome review great movie, must see.

People are disposable? No little brother, men are disposable. Keep that in mind when feminist start saying they don't need no man.

All the world knew about the camps as from December 1942

Dude reacting doesn't fart I guess.

I love that you noticed the sound design right away... its a huge part of this movie, as I am sure you know now. Also, Michael Mann's iconic cinematography and his love for Lost Angeles, its lightning in a bottle. MM is known for his location scouting adventures. Such a classic.

Love this movie! Great reaction! ¡Saludos, desde Argentina!

You should definitely check out THIEF and MANHUNTER, two earlier films by this director. Both are outstanding crime films, and the latter is the first screen appearance of Hannibal Lecter.

You're the only one to mention that sound when Carrie pulls her mother's second hand free. You don't see it, you just hear it being pulled out.

Okay, now for Stone of Destiny (2008).

Entirely inaccurate, entirely moving, inspiring and entertaining.

Nothing exemplifies the true cost of war than Mrs. Ryan on that porch. The most horrific scene in a film full of them.

When I heard you say at the end that you thought "they were going to leave this ambigious" regarding the reunion, I read the earlier drafts of the the film did just that, ending with Red's "hope" dialogue on the bus I believe, but test audiences came out of screenings saying they really wanted to see them meet, so it was added in.

This is a perfect movie, i have seen it well over 50 times... That cast were some of the best actors of that time...

Acá dejo mi comentario para el algoritmo de CZcams . Espero que sigas con la serie porque es interesante tu perspectiva debido a tus estudios. No lo escribí en inglés o lo traduje con aplicación por vagancia 😅

A little FYI: Tommy and Sue were never in on Chris' prank. Sue actually felt awful after what she did (along with the other girls) in the shower scene. When Tommy was struck by the falling bucket, that killed him. When Carrie realized Tommy was dead, that's when she literally lost her mind. He was the only person who had even shown her actual affection--her first dance, her first date, her first kiss, that was something Carrie had never experienced. This was not the first time DePalma used the split screen effect. He first did it in his movie called "Sisters", a psychological drama. Good luck in your film career.

Considered the most realistic war movie ever made, from actual reports of survivors.

Defiance is another Holocaust-based film that I highly recommend you checking out - packed with drama, horror and action. It’s based on the story of the Bielski partisans (resistance fighters led by the Bielski brothers - Tuvia, Zus, Asael and Aron) hiding in the Belarusian forests during the Nazi occupation of most of the Soviet Union (in which Belarus was part of at the time). Another film I recommend checking out is Valkyrie - based on the Nazi officials led by armed forces Colonel Claus Von Stauffenberg who attempted to kill Hitler on 20th July ‘44. Shows you events leading up to it.

I can't describe how much I love this film and the practical make up is peak W even by today's standards. Especially compared to lame ass CGI.

Tommy looks and even sounds much like Robert Redford.

Not just the music is a connection to _Psycho._ Carrie's school is _Bates_ High School. 16:29

The D-Day assault by the Allies was and is the largest seaborne invasion in the history of the world. About midnight the night before, more than 2,200 Allied bombing aircraft attacked parts of France near the landing-sites, and 24,000 Allied soldiers were dropped inland by parachute. In the morning of June 6, 1944, the Allies sent 351,700 men (mostly Americans, Britons, and Canadians) from England, across the English Channel, to five beaches at Normandy (including Omaha Beach, which is represented here), of whom at least 4,414 were killed. More than 5,000 watercraft were involved, including hundreds of mine-sweepers, hundreds of escorts, and almost 5,000 landing- and assault-craft.

In 2004, Andy Rooney, an American journalist, who had been a 26-year-old soldier at Normandy in June 1944, spoke on television, on the sixtieth anniversary of the invasion. This is my transcript of what he said; perhaps you will find these words worthy of your time: "Because it was part of my life, I'd like to say something about D-Day. I don't know how to say it any differently than I did in a book I wrote, called _My War._ "If you are young and not really clear what D-Day was, let me tell you. "It was a day unlike any other. There have only been a handful of days since the beginning of time on which the direction the world was taking has been changed for the better in one twenty-four-hour period by an act of man. June sixth, nineteen forty-four, was one of them. "What the Americans, the British, and the Canadians were trying to do was get back a whole continent that had been taken from its rightful owners by Adolf Hitler's German army. _It was one of the most monumentally unselfish things one group of people ever did for another._ "We all have days of our lives that stand out from the blur of days that have gone by; and the day I came ashore on Utah Beach, four days after the initial invasion, is one of mine. "As we approached the French coast, there were small clouds of smoke, and sudden eruptions, as German artillery blindly lobbed shells over the hills behind the beach. They were hoping to hit U.S. troops or some of the massive amount of equipment piled up on the shore there. "Row on row of dead American soldiers were laid out on the beach, just above the high-tide mark, where it turned into weedy clumps of grass. They were covered with olive-drab blankets, just their feet sticking out at the bottom, their G.I. boots sticking out. I remember their boots: all the same, on boys all so different. "No-one can tell the whole story of D-Day, because no-one knows it. "Each of the sixty thousand men who waded ashore that day knew a little part of the story too well. To them, the landing looked like a catastrophe. Each knew a friend shot through the throat, shot through a knee. Each knew names of five hanging dead on the barbed wire in the water, twenty yards off shore-three who lay unattended on the stony beach as the blood drained from holes in their bodies. They saw whole tank-crews drown when the tanks rumbled off the ramps of their landing-craft and dropped into twenty feet of water. "There were heroes here no-one will ever know, because they're dead. The heroism of others is known only to themselves. "Across the Channel, in Allied headquarters, in England, the war-directors, remote from the details of death, were exultant: they saw no blood, no dead, no dying. From the statisticians' point of view, the invasion was a success: statisticians were right: they always are-that's the damned thing about it. "On each visit to the beaches over the years, I've wept. It's impossible to keep back the tears as you look across the rows of markers and think of the boys under them, who died that day. Even if you didn't know anyone who died, your heart knows something that your brain does not: you weep. "If you think the world is selfish and rotten, go to the cemetery at Colleville-sur-Mer, overlooking Omaha Beach: see what one group of men did for another on D-Day, June sixth, nineteen forty-four."
