Did you catch this in SAVING PRIVATE RYAN

As a Czech guy, it was so sad to see the two Czech soldiers executed. I was watching the movie in English and suddenly heared guys speaking Czech. I was so confused and it took me a while to realise what is going on. With a Czech dubbing you can't tell that they aren't Germans because everyone speak Czech obviously and my dad - a HUGE fan of this movie - was really shocked when I told and showed him this.

My grandmother had four sons who served in WWII. Their mother prayed every day for their safety. She died in 1942 while they were overseas, but they all returned home safely.

My great grandfather fought on Omaha, he lost an ear and an arm during the progression onto the cliff, when we visited that same place - Omaha Beach, he kneeled down on the sand, touched it and started praying, when I asked what is he doing he simply said "Respecting my brothers", then broke down into tears, it was a heartbreaking moment. He was a sanitary and saved 6 men that day, he's my hero forever

The only problem with private Jackson’s thumb injury is that he used a Springfield bolt action rifle not the M1 Garand that was infamous for what is called Garand thumb

It was "Steamboat Willy" (the German prisoner they released earlier) that shot Miller, right? That was the irony --- Miller's mercy killed him in the end. It wasn't the same guy that killed Mellish.

My dad would have turned 100 this coming July 4th. Unfortunately he passed away on Easter Sunday of 1998 (Approx. 3 months before SPR was released). My dad was a medic on D-Day, I wish he could have lived to able to see it. It really opened my eyes what my dad, and so many other brave men went through on June 6th 1944. This Independence Day will be a day of remembrance to me and my family. I miss you Dad.

My father, a D-Day veteran, could only last 10 minutes into the film before I had to take him home to cry; the images were to real for him to bear again. I am sorry I took him. Seeing the opening opened old festering wounds that he carried, silently, for decades.

Also, the "Tiger" tank they blew up was actually a T-34 Russian tank disguised as a Tiger tank because an actual running Tiger was not available during the filming.

I remember first seeing this movie and at the end watching as WW2 Veterans in the audience standing up to salute the film. Brought tears to my eyes for the service these men gave to this country.

Never knew "Scotty" was a veteran, of WWII, especially of D-day. That is a new one, and much respect.

I've never noticed the canteen being shot then draining to blood before. Such a small detail that happens so quick.

2:20 "In fact, Spielberg forbade him (Damon) from particpating (in Dale Dye's boot camp) in order to strengthen the rest of the cast's resentment towards his character". That is the brilliance of Stephen Spielberg and what puts his movies a cut above the rest.

8:40 the German soldier who stabs Mellish is not the same guy that kills Miller. Thou they look the same take a look at their collar's. The one that kills Mellish has an "SS" on his collar while the other one has the 2 connecting I's for regular infantry. Common mistake.

One of my top three movies, not only because my birthday is June 6th but because of the stark reality of war portrayed and how the value of human life degrades is so poignantly illustrated. I used to take a motorcycle trip to northern France (on a German bike 😮) for a number of years around early June in the early naughties. The highlight being 2004 for the 60th anniversary, when so many veterans returned that year from US, British and even German forces. St Mare Eglise , where US paratrooper John Steele landed on the church roof, was full to the brim with people in period dress (military and civilian) and the atmosphere was fantastic. It was only when I and a couple of ex British Royal Marines rode out to Omaha beach and the cemeteries, the shocking loss of life of thousands of young men and the sheer violence on that shore was palpable. It was a feeling of solemnity and pride in both my grandfathers that I will never forget. Watching this great movie every couple of years also serves as a reminder for the sacrifice of those who didn’t come home and should never forget.

Aside from the error about the two German soldiers being mistakenly referred to as the same character by the narrator, there were actually more than a few other details that I was glad to learn about, even though some would've only been recognizable by certain veterans, historians, or military enthusiasts. These informative bits made up for the inaccuracy pointed out by many of the commentators. Excellent video, for the most part. Kudos! : )

No matter how many times I've seen Saving private Ryan, this movie is the greatest and it always brings tears to my eyes.

I had a great uncle that was injured on Omaha Beach. His youngest brother took to see the film. My brother had also gone to the same showing independent of them. They saw each other after the film. My great uncle said he felt like he was there again. My uncle didn't talk about his service but he did say it was the most realistic film he had ever seen.

"... to all you veterans out there, we sincerely thank you for your service." "Kein Problem. Habe ich gern gemacht."

My old school friend and still one of my best mates now (after 53 years) his father was in the SS. He was forced to join in early 1944 being Czech and was originally given the "free choice" of joining the SS or go to a labour camp to "earn his freedom". His first day of actual fighting (at all) was in Normandy, whereupon he threw his rifle away and surrendered at the first opportunity he had. He never even fired his rifle once as noone was looking at him and keeping an 'eye' on him. He was lucky not to be shot out of hand and he said that he had never put his hands so high into the air before or since. He was one of the lucky ones though.

the day I went to see this in the theater they had brought about 20 survivors to the show, and to hear them during the opening and then what happened after, will forever stay with me. it was so sad but when they started talking it turned into an amazing day full of happy tears at the end. One of my best times at a theater.
