Saving Private Ryan: Captain's last words

What’s happening in this Saving Private Ryan movie clip?
Miller (Tom Hanks), lying on the ground, shot and bleeding to death, tells Ryan (Matt Damon) a few last words and finally dies on the battlefield. Meanwhile, Upham kills the man who shot Miller and takes a German squad prisoner.

What’s the movie Saving Private Ryan about?
Steven Spielberg directed this powerful, realistic re-creation of WWII's D-day invasion and the immediate aftermath. The story opens with a prologue in which a veteran brings his family to the American cemetery at Normandy, and a flashback then joins Capt. John Miller (Tom Hanks) and GIs in a landing craft making the June 6, 1944, approach to Omaha Beach to face devastating German artillery fire. Miller's men slowly move forward to finally take a concrete pillbox. On the beach littered with bodies is one with the name "Ryan" stenciled on his backpack. Army Chief of Staff Gen. George C. Marshall (Harve Presnell), learning that three Ryan brothers from the same family have all been killed in a single week, requests that the surviving brother, Pvt. James Ryan (Matt Damon), be located and brought back to the United States. Capt. Miller gets the assignment, and he chooses a translator, Cpl. Upham (Jeremy Davis), skilled in language but not in combat, to join his squad of right-hand man Sgt. Horvath (Tom Sizemore), plus privates Mellish (Adam Goldberg), Medic Wade (Giovanni Ribisi), cynical Reiben (Edward Burns) from Brooklyn, Italian-American Caparzo (Vin Diesel), and religious Southerner Jackson (Barry Pepper), an ace sharpshooter who calls on the Lord while taking aim. The film's historical consultant is Stephen E. Ambrose, and the incident is based on a true occurrence in Ambrose's 1994 bestseller D-Day: June 6, 1944.

This movie and Band of Brothers are two of the most powerful war movies I’ve ever seen. It’s sad to realize that this generation of men are almost gone now, so few remain to tell their stories.

My uncle was in this war. Would not talk much about it. When he did it was few words but his eyes would change. I could see that he was back there. It was incredible to see and I was honored he shared it with me. Rest easy Uncle Phil. I love you

My grandfather stormed Omaha Beach on D had tears in my eyes during the opening scene just seeing what he might have experienced that day. He made it home in one piece and my mother was born in '46.

Saw it when it was released with my Grandfather who fought in Europe.
Never fails to bring tears to my eyes.
RIP Gramps

The ending of this movie, when he asks his wife to tell him he's a good man, always kills me.

[Deecups]

I've seen this a hundred times, know exactly what happens. And still it gives me goosebumps. What a movie.

[PureNRG]

The real tragedy of this movie is that Miller never did get to go home to be with his wife again. It’s why Ryan needed to know he was a good man from his own wife. That he had “earned this”.

I’m a doctor and I would still occasionally see people of this generation up until 10 years ago. They are so different than us. So much better.

Upham had probably the best character arc in the entire movie. And it shows you how the best of humanity gets lost in the worst of humanity - he was scared shitless the entire time, of taking a life, of watching people die, and finally it took realizing that generosity in war gets people killed that he goes "You know what? Fuck this". He breaks.

It's beautifully ugly, and I love it.

[mfreeman]

So horribly believable when the light goes out of Miller's eyes. Such a brilliant actor.

[countdread]

Grandfather was there. He was a medic. Would never talk about it nor would I ask. Was a great man. Bless all those who fight and die to protect our country. Amen!

[iSniperQueen]

one of the saddest best war movies ever

[gordontyree]

“James, earn this.” “Earn it!” This scene always tears me up. Best war movie ever made! Captain Miller…a bad ass to the very end…pulling his 45 ACP sidearm and shooting at the Tiger tank, but also a teacher and mentor to the very end! Captain Miller is the type of CO and leader I would fight beside thru the gates of hell itself! Tom Hanks is one of the best actors ever!

[longhairedlayabout]

I think Ryan did "earn this". He had the chance to be taken out of the battle and head home, but he disobeyed a standing order and stayed with his unit and fought until the relief came.

[jimpuglisi]

Best and most realistic war movies I’ve ever seen total tearjerker

[AfroMan]

Good thing Tom saved Matt Damon, the guy went on to have a hell of an acting career. Would have been a shame if he just Died in France

[brucegilham]

An absolute classic, without any doubt. Such realistic scenes, believable emotions, triumph and tragedy. One of the greatest war movies ever...IMHO.

[thegamingchannel]

That has got to be the worst thing to hear from a dying captain who went so far to rescue the private. “ James, earn this” haunted the private for years, laden with guilt.

[jordanhenare]

Can we acknowledge how awesome Tom Hanks' death acting is? No cheesy gasp, and relaxing his eyes made it look real af.
