Saving Private Ryan - D Day scene

[SmoothPies]

Best war movie scene ever? Try to watch bits of this movie every June 6th.

The American, Canadian, and British forces that did this were truly amazing people.

 

[Thrawn33]

Yes. Best war movie scene ever.

Best war movie is up for debate but holy shit that scene.

Craziest and most realistic war movie scene ever.

I'd say that and Braveheart battle scenes.

As well as Glory.

 

[GolovKing]

Amazing scene. I hear that actual WW2 vets hated it though because its disgustingly violent and unnecessarily realistic from the standpoint of someone that was actually there

 

[I Am Legion]

I say yes. 2nd would be Black Hawk Down getting out of town scene.

 

[GolovKing]

The lone survivor battle scene where all the navy seals get killed was pretty good too I think.

 

[KnightTemplar]

Yes. Best war movie scene ever.

Best war movie is up for debate but holy shit that scene.

Agreed.

I've spoken to veterans who said they flinched because the sounds of incoming rounds was so realistic.

 

[TheChance]

I think 13 hours is a very underrated war movie, it's not as good as some of the ones mentioned but I like it.

a carefree stroll in the park compared to the Eastern Front

 

[SKYNET]

I'd rank it very high, as far as ground combat battles go, only Platoon was comparable imo.

The Vally Masacre in Last of the Mohicans gets a nomination..

No. Nothing about Omaha Beach was a "carefree stroll in the park".

I saw it on opening night at a theater that had a massive screen that was rounded and wrapped around the walls so it felt like you were surrounded by the action and the surround sound was still relatively new at the time so the sound of the bullets whizzing past us was freaking intense

I still remember everyone walking out of a packed theater in complete silence, we were all stunned by the film we just saw

My girl had nightmares that night because of it

One of the most memorable movie experiences I've ever had

 

[Kal-El]

Glad to see you agree with me. Omaha Beach factually wasn't a carefree stroll in the park.

 

[Spam On Rye]

Not a fan of pro-war propaganda and Spielberg's is one of the worst imo. That being said, that particular scene is well done. It doesn't hold a candle to the charge scene from Paths of Glory though:

 

[Richmma80]

It didn't age well. I notice there's only like 6 them at the beach

And bullets don't go through water like that. You're safe from them underwater

Also the way that body blew up was unrealistic

 

[Other]

Did you know this is based on a true story?
