I could watch this 100 times and still not be board with it,I just feel sad to see what my grandfathers went through in the war ,every man friend or foe fought with great valor ,and all deserve to be recognized for what they did in the wars
Technically brilliant, but another typical Speilberg uber-over-patriotic at the expense of any possible facts starring Hanks who seems to be attracted by that kind of stuff. Real pity cause the effects are great.
I felt this movie was more of a show off to kids who will sneak in and watch it more of a action film than histroic.
Whilst I’m ambivalent about the film in its generality, the opening invasion scene is very powerful, although the film then declines a bit into scmaltz here & there.
I went to see it with a friend of mine who’s dad had been a landing craft driver (? coxwain?) on D Day, and she was in tears after a few minutes.
I believe the invasion scene has been shown to some vandals & hooligans in Yorkshire who were making pensioners lives difficult with their noise and bad behaviour. Apparently, after they saw what the old fellas had been through, they have become almost model citizens.
Without SPR, there would almost certainly been no BoB, so I’m prepared to forgive the bits of SPR I didn’t like for all the bits of BoB I loved.
The 1st scene was absuloutly unbelievable considering that actually happend
I loved this movie i even preordered it, i saw the movie somewhere i forgot :lol:
It’s only a high grade tech movie. Is good but the sense remain
the same. 8)
Agreed on that.
Two of the best war scenes ever filmed were the opening scene at Omaha of course, and the oft overlooked Rangers trying to take out the German MG42 machine gun nest. Other instances like the final scene were somewhat out of touch with reality. Anyone remember the one goofy scene where the Americans took out the German personal carrier in that field with the tall grass? Did you notice how the German soldiers all did the ragdoll death drop like in John Wayne movies, i actually laughed out loud in the theater during that scene.
i don’t know but i thought the scene where a U.S. soldier confronts a german and they both try to shoot and the german throws the helmet at the U.S. soldier and then both whip out the pistols, was kinda funny i don’t know why :?
This?
:lol: :lol: I loved that part
This?
:lol: :lol: I loved that part
yeah that was it! :lol:
i loved this movie, and always will.
this movie did not claim to be authentic in its story, it was just trying to present a historical part of american history to the american people. it did absolutely that.
of course the movie has to have an american bias, what are yougoing to do? show 5,000+ american soldier casualties and run away with millions of dollars? Alot of wwii vets saw this movie, and dont you think it would be a slap to face for them NOT to see their country’s flag?
anyway, im not patriotic, but this was a really good movie, and its kind of sad… and funny to see people try to criticize it for wrong reasons. also keep in mind tom hanks and steven spielberg helped produce, ect.
Band of Brothers
What about the scene where that guys been shot in the wrist/arm and he’s bleeding heaps and you see the German sniper in the building’s turret/tower
aiming for someone to come aid the hurt american.
When the American sniper spots and shoots the german you see this muzzle flash and half a second later it goes through the germans scope and pierces his eye.
Wade says" It looks like a lung shot"
Not one single person cast a vote in the ‘NO’ category. If you ‘read’ the posts you will see the movie was liked but some people have small issues with realistic accuracy in SOME parts of the movie.
For instance, did you notice when an American was shot and died it took minutes of agonizing pain and writhing on the ground first but when a German got shot he immediately rag dolled dead to the ground.

yes thats true.
Not exactley. The part in Neuville just after Caparzo got shot and theres that bar full of Germans, After they all get shot some of them are still alive. You can he them groaning!
Yes but you only hear one moaning.
But when the squad is in Ramelle and they drop the Molotov Cocktails from the window the Germans are screaming and rolling around.
You wouldn’t moan if you were dead! :lol: :lol:
Heheh on the end when Tom Hanks fired with pistol on tank,i am thinking it’s stupid he will destroyd tank with pistol and bummmmm…i am told what i am said :lol: but it was a American fighter. :lol: :lol:
I thought that aswell :lol: the look on his face is priceless :shock: :shock:
