The funniest bit is when posters still think Capt. Miller blew the tank up with his sidearm. It got bombed by an airplane. But a lot of people still don't get it.

There is an interview with John Milius from around 2001 on the web, he talks about SPR and how dumb a lot of the story is . I recall some of it . like " why didn't they just blow the bridge and leave? a few dozen guys going to hold a bridge against a bunch of tigers? and they blow it anyway" He mention some guy he knew who was in vietnam telling him if he had been one of them he would have just shot tom hanks character blew the bridge and left lol He also mentioned some of the cheap cheesey cliches the film pulled to get the audience to be invested in the story but make very little sense after you think about it the charge on the radar dish was pretty fucking retarded for instance |

The point of the scene was to show how selfless the medics could be. He wanted to be close enough to his buddies that he could treat them as quickly as possible. Yeah they should have split the force and let the sniper initiate contact and then killed the gun crew off. But they needed wade to die to create conflict. It's a movie. |

How about the scene when the soldier’s helmet deflects a round. Then he takes it off to remark at his fortune “whew that was close” and then predictably he immediately takes a round between the eyes. That is campiness. |

Just about every WW2 movie I watch, eventually I notice the actors' perfect teeth. In the 1940s, I'd bet most guys had never been to a dentist before they enlisted. Quote HistoryQuoted:
Quoted:
Also, Matt Damon with his Good Will Hunting character and perfectly straightened, Crest whitened teeth was awful in the role. I was around a lot of WW2 vets in my young days. I recall a good many had military issued gold teeth. My first boss had two in front. I asked about the gold. He told me the Navy dentists fixed everybody's teeth. They'd fixed three in his mouth and pulled one. Funny thing is he said that since the war he'd had regular dental visits throughout his life and the gold repairs never had to be worked on and he never got another cavity. He was in his early sixties when I knew him. A carpenter in our shop was a veteran of the Battle of the Bulge. He also had one gold tooth that was WW2 issue. |

The whole "Earn this" thing ruined it for me. It instantly turned a great movie into a Hollywood cheeseball. As a Christian it flies in the face of my personal outlook on life. It's totally stupid.

Christ was perfect, his sacrifice sufficient, so we therefore owe obedience to him and him only. Now, if Tom Hanks had read Luke 12:41-48 to Matt Damon, and Matt Damon's question at the end had been, "have I been a faithful and sensible steward", that would have been one thing, but that isn't what happened. Tom, as I see it, told Ryan to conform to his idea of a life well-lived, and we're not supposed to do that. Jesus didn't say, "look at the sacrifice I made for you, now go and earn this." How much more, as humans, should we avoid saying it to others? Just my two cents |

Quote HistoryQuoted:
I didn’t call the things or events campy. I am saying the movie depicted these events with campiness. I think we are in such awe over the subject matter, and rightly so, that it clouds the way we judge the film. Quote HistoryQuoted:
Quoted:
I spent the better part of 20 years reading books on D day. I can tell you that probably 100% of the "campy" scenes came from a direct recounting from someone that was there and saw it. While watching the beach scene I remember thinking "I remember reading about that". So although you think those things were campy, they were also things that actually happened to real people. I think we are in such awe over the subject matter, and rightly so, that it clouds the way we judge the film. "SPR is campy!" "WTF?" "I meant some of the scenes in it are campy" "I've read a lot of books recounting D-Day and WWII, and many of the scenes you singled out, actually happened" "No, I meant some scenes were depicted with campiness" 
So, depicting things that actually happened, very likely by young men/boys in shock from their first ever encounter in real combat is campy? Did you think the guy flexing his almost blown-off arm, near the end of 13 Hours was campy too? People in shock do weird shit. |

From a relative that was in the first landing wave on Omaha beach.
They were dropped short and were trying to make it to the beach. He spotted a fellow soldier clinging to an anti-tank obstacle. To avoid drowning or being shot, he pulled the guy off, took his place, and held on for dear life. Other soldiers tried to do the same to him, but failed. Campy, right? Or another time while moving thru hedge rows he saw a soldier crouched down but peeking over a hedge. He told him to get down and get moving multiple times with no response. Finally he went to go grab him thinking he had froze up. When he got there and turned the guy, the soldier fell over. It was then he saw the bullet hole in the guy's forehead. More Hollywood camp? |

Not shagging anyone other than his old lady? He certainly can't go around dying for everyone, so when does he know that he's earned it? He doesn't, and he knows he never will. Internally his life has been a downward spriral of guilt as he tries in vain to outdo the last good deed with a better one. He has grown into an upstanding man to the outside world, but inside his shortcomings have made him a wreck. This is why he has to ask his woman to tell him what he needs to hear at the end. Of course she's going to oblige, but the truth is that he was sinful at birth, and that without the blood of Christ he's just as bad off as an old man. All his wife can do is use her own measuring stick and declare him good enough in her own mind. The validation of the wife is great, but she certainly can't make a decisive judgement on whether he has earned it or not. Ever. Do you think he got back on the plane after decades of uncertainly and thought, "well, that settles it." I don't. This is why Christianity works, and trying to live up to the expectations of man doesn't. |

About the only thing that bugged me about SPR was the guys constantly charging their weapons over and over, as if using the

My great-uncle Bob said the opening landing scene in SPR was hands down the most realistic portrayal of an amphibious landing he'd ever seen in a movie, and he'd know since Omaha Beach was his third (after Gela, Sicily for Husky and Oran, Algeria for Torch) of the war. He was in the 1st Infantry, 16th RCT for Overlord and they took around 50% casualties during the initial landings. He thought the rest of the movie was fairly silly though because,"Shit didn't happen like that." But even the stuff he thought was dumb/wrong, he didn't think was "campy."
He also thought that When Trumpets Fade did the best job of any Hollywood movie at showing how brutal combat in the ETO was for the average infantryman, and especially the ones "lucky" enough to fight in Hurtgen Forest; his hair turned snow white there when he was the ripe old age of 21. His favorite WWII movie, even though he pointed out all the technical faults, was The Big Red One because he said it actually captured the way the guys felt and interacted with one another. He was an honest to God American badass, and I miss the hell out of him and his stories; even though my mom used to get cranky at him when we were kids and would ask about the war and he'd start with something like,"D-Day was a bitch, the motherfucking krauts had so many goddamn machineguns..." "Uncle Bob!" "Sorry, where was I..." |

Capt.Miller didn't like the mission to begin with. Most of his "squad" had been killed, and now he was fatally wounded. As a high school teacher and baseball coach, he was used to lecturing younger guys. I think he was basically telling Pvt.Ryan that the lives lost in getting him back home had better be worth it. I'm not offended by that. FWIW, lots of WWII vets spent the rest of their lives wondering why they survived and others didn't. My dad was probably one of them.

OP, your thread sucks. Like a campy kind of sucking. Go somewhere and feel shame.

Campy? Only the pillow fights seemed campy to me. The rest was filled with over the top cliches. That tends to be a problem Spielberg has.
The acting was generally average to awful. The movie doesn't hold up over time, for me. |

SPR is a 20 year old movie. I suspect some of those scenes would be done differently today. That doesn't make them campy.
