Ok finally watching Saving Private Ryan. I know the broad strokes of the plot and that it’s iconic and popular etc, and I’ve seen the gifs and a few vids of a few bits. Opens with guy (presumably Ryan) at a military cemetery, then it’s flashbacks to D-Day https://t.co/spszYCVae1
Scene now with women typists typing out thousands of “sorry your son is dead” letters, which is how we get to “ok let’s save the last remaining Ryan brother” wife did not know that this was the plot of the movie oof now we gotta see Mrs Ryan find out...? aw fuck https://t.co/v9WjMLI0sb
General quotes the Bixby letter when told that saving Ryan might be costly https://t.co/VT4jwt7AMN
I knew there’s a big and illustrious cast but for some reason I’m surprised to rediscover that Vin Diesel is here https://t.co/2ASlSnnovT
aaaand Vin Diesel is down... and out F the sniper character is compelling: skilled marksman who says a prayer (?) before shooting the enemy sniper in the eye https://t.co/dPvpSvtWDi
lol they find the wrong private Ryan, tell him that his brothers are dead- when his brothers are still in kids in school. but now this Ryan is all fucked up 😂😩 got him questioning the nature of truth and reality now, a disease from which he may never recover
fucked up 😔 F https://t.co/7ITft56E6e
Captain Miller goes off to cry on his own leadership is lonely https://t.co/F8fnCFAUTG
German soldier tries to persuade Americans not to kill him by quoting movies and songs he killed one of them earlier so they’re conflicted about it, but Miller lets him go. one threatens to desert, they pull guns on each other oof https://t.co/0Zq7cWfp1Q
Ryan has been found I like how they did the reveal, felt very organic https://t.co/Mr0J1tRM4U
Ryan doesn’t want to leave, he wants to stay with his chosen brothers and protect a bridge of strategic importance he’s sad about the men who died trying to find him ofc looks like Cpt Miller’s crew is going to join up with Ryan’s and protect the bridge until reinforcements https://t.co/82hwm0kfln
