What isn't useful about the opening scene of Saving Private Ryan?

I cannot think of anything that was not useful. Spielberg and the writers used foreshadowing, such as
Miller's shaking hand, along with realism (such as men vomiting from motion sickness) to set the scene.
The ocean and beach components were necessary to set the scene. All the rest showed cultural activities congruent with the 1940s, such as Sizemore stuffing some chew into his mouth and soldiers praying. The rest was true to what happened, even the graphic close up shots of men dying.
