You\\u2019d be hard-pressed to find a movie critic or cinema-goer that doesn\\u2019t love or at least respect Saving Private Ryan. From its iconic opening depiction of D-Day, this is unlike any war movie we\\u2019ve covered.
Listener JE Urseth commissioned this 1998 WWII classic to honor all servicemen and women and as a special tribute to his grandfather who served in the Pacific. From the start, Big D and Gene talk about the inspiration they found from the film to serve their country, and Roger talks about his one call back from the marines.
We cover the complexities of war, the film\\u2019s violent depiction of battle, and a missed opportunity for a Garth Brooks\\u2019 cameo. Roger asks Big D to explain how to blow up a bridge. Gene calls out Spielberg\\u2019s sentimentality, and Big D explains the secrets soldiers tell one another in the dark.
We also ask what morality looks like in wartime. What would have happened if Tom Sizemore had not destroyed his career? And did Private Ryan make the right choice at the movie\\u2019s close?
