Damn when Private Mellish dies when the German they let go kills him with a knife to the heart and Upham is just sitting at the stairs and cries and does nothing, that part always gets me cus it pisses me off cus he could have lived if stupid Upham would have just gone up there and not be a pussy. damn everytime i see that movie that part always makes me feel mad

I didn't really like Mellish anyhow.

The part I disliked was the german that Miller/Hanks let go was the same one who blasted him at the end :p

you could make your own version of this movie where upham is actually a stud and kills all the germans including hilter and everyone hangs out at the end in a local strip joint and drinks beer.

You have to understand man this is war. Sometimes people are just scared shitlist. I'll admit I would have been scared like Upham, but I would have saved Mellish and shoot the F out of that German.

Wasn't he signed up to be a war writer or something too... he hadn't prepared himself mentally to shoot anyone. He was expecting to nef his way through the war... old school (typewriter)

I doubt he could help it though. Many of us feel that we would have acted differently, but we don't really know unless we have been in that situation.

Unless you have been in combat, you have no right to be upset. You never know how you yourself would act althought you think you do.

Shut up.

What he described is exactly what that scene in the movie is trying to achieve.

Fvcking get over yourself.

I thought having Edith Piaf play the role of the waitress was pushing the limits of good taste, however.


It was cool when Ryan gets in that flying wing and straifs Hitler's dog, though I felt bad for the dog at the same time.

The German they let go was not the same German that killed Mellish.
