      The whole hand shaking thing was so clever. It’s a symptom of ptsd and they use it throughout the movie to remind millers men that he too has suffered and it made them empathize with him. Of course here they use it to show he’s actually dead because it lay still on his lap.

    I actually cried as a proud American during this ending. Two years after this great film came out, my grandfather passed away from cancer in 2000. He enlisted in 1942 (age 20-21) & served in the 5th Ranger Battalion that trained in Tennesee. Eventually shipped out to Britain in late 1943/early 1944 in preparation for Operation Overlord. Trained in Special Cliff Operations in the Highlands of Scotland in early 1944 alongside his fellow Rangers (plus other Allied/UK Special forces) before D-Day.
    On June 6th, 1944, he climbed near the Point du Hoc's cliffs. He had to carry his BAR into battle in rough terrain under heavy fire, search & eventually destroy the German Howitzers that greatly saved thousands of his fellow countrymen on the beaches.
    As history goes, the Rangers had to traverse miles of the French countryside for the repositioned guns after hours of naval & air bombardment before the invasion forced the Germans back from Point du Hoc. My grandfather help aided the 75 men (out of 225 Rangers from the 2nd Battalion, 70% of the unit were wounded or killed) who were able to reach the top of Point du Hoc & keep on fighting beyond the Longest Day. Played a part of Operation Cobra in the breakout out of Normandy.
    Into the battle of Saint-Lo in July 1944, he got wounded when a piece of mortar shrapnel hit his leg (from his calf to above his ankle) & took him out of action. The 29th Infantry Battalion alongside another American division with small groups of Army Rangers (intermix of the remaining 2nd & 5th Ranger Battalions) took massive losses from German artillery destroying the town. My grandfather would have met his end at Saint-Lo, but thankfully he had a guardian angel over him.
    Over the years, I was told by my father & my aunt that after he got wounded, my grandfather was saved by a Sherman Tank Crew from the 747th Independent Tank Division that came to support the 29th Infantry Division to take the ruins of Saint-Lo & were attempting to gather all the wounded GIs during the battle.
    It's still very unclear how many were saved on that day alongside my grandfather, but as a result of them saving lives, the Sherman Tank Commander was the only casualty while gathering up the wounded men under heavy fire.
    Due to their courageous actions, my grandfather lived, was able to go home to raise a family, & eventually serve as a police officer (SGT) for nearly 21+ years until he retired in 1978. He got the Bronze Star for his heroic actions on D-Day & 2 Purple Hearts in the Fall of 1944.
    In both civilian life & his long days in law enforcement, he had to take small amounts of morphine (inside a capsule attached to a sliver neck chain around his neck) every day due to the wounds he received in the war until his last days on this earth. A reminder of the sacrifices he made in defending America, her people & the liberation of Europe.
    My grandfather's mother was a German immigrant and orphan who came to America in the 1890s when her homeland (the early German Empire) was facing some social destabilization. My grandfather had no ill will toward the majority of the German troops he fought against in the Liberation of France. He always respected the Germans (the Wehrmacht/cousins) for their military leadership, combat efficiency, and historical discipline.
    He absolutely hated the Nazi idealogy, which only represented Hitler & a few thousand people in the SS divisions that committed the Holocaust.
    Like everyone else who first watched the movie, I began to truly understand & greatly appreciate the sacrifices my grandfather & the millions of soldiers made in WWII. That includes the common German Soldier (non-SS/Nazi) who fought not for Hitler but for their family & their country.
    Despite some of its flaws, this film will always be one of my favorite films about WWII. I always got emotional at the end of the film when Miller tells Ryan that "Earn this" & it cuts to Ryan asking his wife if he was a good man. My grandfather never ever saw Saving Private Ryan in the last years of his life (did like the movie The Longest Day), but like most veterans, he would have attempted to avoid seeing the horrors of war again.
    I am immensely grateful to have known him before his passing & I am proud to be his grandson. This is a story I like to share with those who have first watched this film and Band of Brothers.
    If I had to create a title to describe his WWII story it would be called...
    "Liberation at the Gates"

Only when capt Miller is dying so we actually see Reiben concerned for Capt Miller. His father figure is dying right before him and as he yells desperately for a Medic we finally see the true impact a leader of such caliber can have on a soldier

    It's an absolutely powerful and moving scene. The young Ryan is long gone, and his older and more distinguished self remains. Through living his life, his actions went on to count strongly for our values as a people, and better citizenship.
    People don't realize it takes a village to raise a person. Especially through the sacrifices of those who are no longer with us. None of us can fathom our actions no matter how small, having such a large impact for generations to come. Captain Miller is not only speaking to Ryan, but to the audience as a whole. For that reason, I absolutely love this film.
    For those who have served, and paid the ultimate sacrifice, thank you. You did not die in vain.

  • @Barrobroadcastmaster
    @Barrobroadcastmaster Před 7 měsíci +4

    "Earn this. Earn it." As many have said, Miller is speaking to all of us, all people who watch this film. The men and women who fought, who fight, who give their lives and sacrifice so much to give us the freedom and luxuries we richly enjoy... and take for granted. But not all of us would earn these things. The truth is that not everyone deserves their sacrifice. Some do throw it away, forget it, neglect it, waste it in many ways. Horrific and violent ways often leading to more suffering. The people who make that sacrifice for this thing called freedom we believe in, they make it for all of us- including the ones that don't deserve it.
    But some do. Some recognize how important it is, to keep the torch burning and light the way for the future generations. That is why these people sacrifice their lives- for the future. Even the enemies they fight, they do it for them and their families and their children, fighting for a chance for them to see the error of their ways, for future generations of nations once at war to live in peace. To forget the hatred and animosity and forge a brighter future for us all... and never forget the sacrifice.
    So how do you do this? You carry it. You honor it. You never forget it. And when the time comes, you pass it on. You pass it on to the future. Then, you've earned it.

He said those words so they would imprint on Ryan's mind that he should stop fighting the war and go home to his family so that he may live the rest of his life and "earn it" and so that the men's sacrifice will not be in vain. It was a really powerful message.

    • @hurricanestudios6797
      @hurricanestudios6797 Před 3 lety +1

      @where am i shutter speed is the speed at which the shutter of a camera stays open. The longer it stays open, the longer the censor is exposed, creating more motion blur. High shutter speeds mean the shutter is opening and closing more quickly, creating less motion blur and a choppier and more intense look. Most films are usually shot at a shutter speed of 1/48 or 1/50 (double the frame rate), but much of this film seems to be shot at 1/80- 1/500. Some might call it a lower shutter speed because it’s a smaller fraction, but it’s really the speed that matters not the number.

      The worst thing about Americans is how proud they are. They should be the countrymen that are most ashamed of their nationality, not proud.
      And what you did in WW2 was peanuts. I'm sorry, but you can go fuck yourselves with this wrong image that you have created of WW2 through Hollywood. In Yugoslavia alone, 1,5 million people died. That's as many as combined American, British, Dutch and Belgian losses in the western front. In The Soviet Union alone 28 million perished (that's half of everyone in WW2), and the whole country was completely ruined. And 9/10 German soldiers were killed by the Soviets. The US came in late in the war, a couple of years after the tide had already turned and when the Russians were way on their way towards victory.

    My Grand Father was in a B-24 crew during WW2. He was a waste gunner. I remember him telling my brother and I about the P-51s that would escort them to Germany and back home to England. As Hanks said they were Angels on their Shoulders also known as Little Friends to the crews.

    Tom Hanks and Matt Damon are two phenomenal actors, and this is one of my favorite all time scenes from any movie. I truly appreciate the score as well, the song, "The Last Battle", is a masterpiece that only John Williams can create.

    After the movie you could hear a pin drop in the theater. I cried big time and could not sleep at all that night. I served in Desert Storm and my buds told me that they did the same thing. I just found out that my great Uncle went in on Omaha on June 6th and died of his wounds June 7th. This should be required watching in schools.
