Saving Private Ryan
I've seen it full a couple times over the years and in the theater when it came out. It's such a good movie, but heart wrenching. I've seen that it was on t.v. the last couple days. I can't bring myself to watch it when it's on sometimes. I just watched the scene when the medic guy gets shot and they're trying to help him. They're saying " Put's some pressure on it..Put's some pressure on it" and they all pile their hands on top of his abdomen. I lost it!
It's hard for me to watch Shawshank Rdemption too.
Re: Saving Private Ryan
how funny--we watched SPR last night, too! And of course, I cried...my "worst scene" is when they deliver the telegram to Mrs. Ryan...
I also bawl every time Steel Magnolias is on...
Oh man! When the mom finds out, and when they tell James Ryan about his brother it hits me hard. I tear up every time. I have no sisters, but older brothers, and can't help but think of them
(
It's a great movie though
Love both SPR and Shawshank. Some scenes are very hard to watch.
I think high school kids should watch SPR in school so they understand exactly what hell those soldiers went through.
My sisters and I will be traveling to France in April to visit the D-Day beaches as a memorial to our grandfather, who was a D-Day hero. While reading up on the history, a few different sources recommended watching SPR or Band of Brothers to get a view of what it was like on D-Day (I've seen actual footage and bawl thinking of my Grampy running up that beach). When I read that I thought 'Man, I don't know if I can handle SPR again!' although I hear it is once of the most realistic reenactments on film.
An American Girl's Travels
Sorry to butt in, but I just wanted to say that I visited the beaches in Normandy in high school and wow, so powerful. What a great thing for you and your sisters to go experience together! I hope you'll have time to visit the American Cemetery there!
