this is one of my favorite movies and i bet u have all seen it before but i noticed some historical mistakes. the first one is one the landing at omaha. those wooden ramp obstacles the germans placed on shore go upward towards the channel. in real life they faced towards the beachead. whats even weirder is that some of the obstacles are correct!

this was discused a long time ago but isnt the "flash thunder code" backwards. im not sure about that so correct me if im wrong.

lastly, at the end of the movie when tom hanks and the squad are against a german assault alongside tiger tanks,the tanks can easily be noticed if u have a sharp eye. those tanks are t-34s just with a tiger tank body.u will notice that the wheel on the tracks are not interlocking as tiger tanks. there probably are more mistakes...

well, for one the movie sux, two the flash then thunder is correct

the challenge was flash, then thunder and they used many others

and the tanks just prove how sucky this sucky movie sux.

Also, the planes that destroy the tank at the end are Mustangs. But those planes were high altitude flyers, and probably wouldn't have been able to do that.

yes they would have, watch the history channel in june and you'll find that out

i thought it was correct with thunder flash in the movie but in moh:aa they say it backwards. i thought it might be incorrect in spr because spr and moh are so similiar. the planes and the end is also another mistake i found too on the internet.

woop do freeking do.

as long as i see germans getting blown across the screen by hand thrown mortars im not complaining

any 1 notice it's an anti-war movie? everyone dies and nothing is acomplished, boo freaking hoo

Rangers and Paratroopers used the thunder-flash code differently from eachother.

There are also some French words spelled incorrectly... stupid huh?

And worst of all is that Cpt. Miller wears a uniform of the 101st in a certain scene

What? What scene?

In no way can saving private ryan be anti-war. Everyone supported WWII it was a war against common evil and everyone pitched in. Maby pasifcist's didnt support it but a VERY SMALL number didn't

uh, everyone dies, nothing good is accomplished, and people get sad, *coughs* anti-war

How is a tribute to those that bravely fought (and some) bravely died for our freedom, an anti-war film. You may not like it, but SPR showed what war is really like, and I for one think that Speilberg did a phenominal job on the movie. So if you don't like the movie, ok, but don't spread left-wing (?) propaganda around the forums!

if you want to know anything about the details regarding saving private ryan's authenticity or anything you just want to know about this movie then go to this website:
www.sproe.com

how could spr be anti-war? thats almost as silly as the rumor that super mario bros. contains a secret message of commie propoganda!

heres the link if u dont believe me!The rumor...omg!

My gosh, the humanity! Mario is Joseph Stalin!

propaganda? no i dont think so, and i let you know when i figure out what the heck the left wing thingy is, i hate polotics, im sorry if i insulted you, i have family that served in WW2, im glad people are paying tribute to them, but this is just my opinion on ONE movie. i dont mean an offensivness(is that a word?)

Just a short-cut to help you figure out the left wingy thing ( ). Left wing (democrats) are usually against all war, no matter how small or large (at least now). They think it's a waste of time and lives and no matter how much the cause is proven to be good or better, they just can't accept that now, war is the only means of making peace (as you can see, im 'right wing').

oh, hey wait, i aint no lefty, im all for goin in and beatin the **** outa some creepy dictator in the name of freedom, i just thought it was kinda anti-war,but actually, now that i think it wasnt, war was bloody, lots of people died,ok when ur right ur right

I wouldn't say that about all liberals. I'm a pretty liberal kinda guy and I'm very sure I would have been one of the first people to sign up during WW2 (too bad I have hypothyroidism, I hate desk jobs). Although, I did think SPR did shine a light on how down-right sh***y war can be.

My grandfather's uncle wrote many letters during his service. He was in an armored division and every letter he sent from Normandy said "I want to go home" (sometimes it's all that was written). Near St. Lo an 88 incinerated him. When it comes to saving the world someone has to suffer.

What I meant was modern Liberals, I don't mean to be really harsh on them, but ever since Vietnam, liberals running for office/enthusiasts (michael moore is liberal, but he's leaning toward commie) seem to be sissies and morons (mayor Daley of Chicago is liberal, and he spent a ton of OUR tax money on a giant metal bean ). I might be over-enforcing my opinion, bu I really think liberals are causing this country to take a bad turn (weapons ban-need I go further?). Now let's stop the politics discussion and get back to SPR!
