Saving Private Ryan

The actual condition is not discussed in the movie, but Captain Miller and his platoon discuss being involved in some of the most horrendous combat actions in the European theater that it isn't difficult to surmise that he was experiencing some of the physical symptoms of PTSD. His periodic bouts of diminished hearing and focus and hand tremors pretty well seals it.

$677,387,716 according to wikipedia

Does ANYONE do a sanity check on these things? That is over 10 times the actual amount which was appropriately 40 Million since he took a percentage of the film and not a actual salary. The $677 Million erroneously quoted would be the films worldwide gross. Nobody ever got paid $that much for ANY film. DUH Domestic was about $330 Million and Foreign was about $348 million

Omaha Beach was not captured in the first wave as depicted in the film. Soldiers were trapped there for over 7 hours before breaching the Sea Wall. (Accurately portrayed in "The Longest Day")

Also the "Thunder/Flash" Challenge and response was backwards. Flash was the challenge and Thunder was the response.

I might not be right, then again i might be but I'm guessing they were saying something similar. I'm half German, so here's another one of my guesses is that they were yelling (surrender, put all your weapons down) You know stuff similar to that.

The beginning of the movie depicts the landing of the 29th Infantry Division and parts of the 2nd Ranger Battalion. The 29th Division did land on Omaha Beach.

However, in the movie, Private James Francis Ryan was the paratrooper who Captain Miller was sent to locate and return safely home. Technically, Private Ryan landed with the 101st Airborne Division and landed near the town of Neuville.

Although his fate is not directly seen. Private Jackson is in the bell tower when it is hit by a shell from the tank below. He had no time to get out of the tower and was most likely killed in the explosion.
Yes, he probablly died because the tank shot the tower and it was destroyed.

The movie is an American Soldiers' narrative. Writers can show some of the opposing narrative, but to do more would change the point of view (POV). A strictly German narrative would cast the Americans as weak, ineffective, chicken, less smart, and even as being misdirected attackers.

The name of the German-to-English translator in Saving Private Ryan was Corporal Upham, played by actor Jeremy Davies.

Daniel Jackson is a BIble-quoting sniper who dies in an exploding tower in Saving Private Ryan.

Whether or not saving the life of one man is worth risking the lives of eight other men is a matter of opinion. In the film, Saving Private Ryan, it was the opinion of some that the life of Private Ryan was made more valuable by the loss of his four older brothers. Military leadership decided to risk the lives of eight men in order to find Private Ryan and send him home to his mother. Other characters in the film debate on the worthiness of this goal. Tom hanks character decides to do his duty and follow orders whether or not he agrees with the decision.

The song from the movie Saving Private Ryan in the one scene with Captain Millers' squad waiting with Ryan with Cpl. Uppum translating is called: Edith Piaf - le vie en rose

No it's not. It IS sung by Edith Piaf but the song is called "Tu es Partout"

You can find it on you tube.

No. That film was to glorify the Americans - Robson Green is a Geordie, and would have struggled to manage a convincing accent.

There are a few different moral issues in the film, "Saving Private Ryan." Namely, the movie revolves around a group of soldiers bringing back a lone son to go home to his mother. Additionally, the film deals with the reality of soldiers killing men that they never knew and did not personally hate.

There is Captain Miller, James Ryan, Mike Horvath, Richard Rieben, Daniel Jackson, Stanley Mellish, Adrian Caparzo, Irwin Wade, Timothy P. Upham, Fred Hamill, Sgt. Hill, Lt. Col. Anderson, and Cpl. Henderson.

Captain Miller made a wise decision by letting the German soldier go because this avoided revenge attacks from the other side.

If you are referring to the German sniper (shot by Pvt. Daniel Jackson [Barry Pepper]) who shoots Pvt. Adrian Caparzo (Vin Diesel) in the courtyard overlooked by the bombed out apartment with the French family, it is likely (if authentic) a Karabiner Kar 98K fitted with a scope. This is a guess however, as (if memory serves) it is a manual load, bolt action rifle, so could not have been a Walther Gewehr 43 which is a semi-automatic weapon.

Naah he asked what was the name of the song when they are walking through the field and Mellish is singing!! its not Edith, that song is on when Upom is translating the music to the other soldiers..

i want to know the same thing, the name of the song that Pvt. Mellish is singing in the field by himself..

HAAY IT IS "SOLITUDE by Duke Ellington"

Matt Damon played the role of Private James Francis Ryan.

To prevent the Germans from using it .

I think you may be referring to when they are saved by the jets flying overhead and Miller says "Angels on our shoulders."
