Plot Hole?
At the beginning of the film when Ryan is visiting the graveyard, the movie begins as Ryan is thinking giving the impression that we are seeing his story. Even though he wasn't with the men for the majority of the film.
shareGreat! Another total misuse of the term plot hole.
Here's a clue Sherlock.... Just because you assumed something not true, and can't understand... does not make something a goof. Much less a goof so bad the whole plot of the film fails.
I joined the Navy to see the world, only to discover the world is 2/3 water!
What exactly am I not understanding? How are we seeing Ryan's vision when he wasn't even storming the beaches or with the team on the mission to save him.

You're NOT.
That's what you dont understand. That's an assumption on your part.

It's not a plot hole. More of a misdirection, although we are given clues that the old man is an Airborne veteran and therefore cannot be Miller. Still, the ride in the landing craft is presented as if it is the old man's recollection of events, yet it cannot be.
Many were confused by this.
Live long and prosper.
I got the same impression when I first saw this film. It clearly makes one think "why was old man Ryan baby-sniveling over men he hardly knew and therefore couldn't have had an emotional attachment to?"
It was just so senseless.
That coast guard sailor boy is the resident a*Shole who likes to demean everyone who misses the slightest nuance in these films. He does it on other boards. Stand up to him and he will call you "troll" and then leave the board for a while.
God dam you are a twat. No way Ryan could have 50+ years to reflect upon what those men did for him, right? No way could he feel remorse for all of those men and their families, right?
shareGod dam you are a dip bulb. If Ryan had any reason to baby snivel over these men he had no attachment/connection with, it would have been soon after the war/event. Not 50 god damned years later. Jeez, get a clue moron.
shareYeah, no way coming back to the place where the men died for the first time in fifty years would make Ryan emotional, twat.
shareAgain, used tampon face, Ryan didn't have any emotional attachment to these men. Then. And certainly not a half century later. That is the problem with this movie. Many have taken note of it. Vaginal discharge.
shareJust because you are not intelligent or mature enough to ever have an emotional attachment to a person doesn't mean no one else ever makes emotional attachments.
Ryan saw the looks in the men's eyes when they were telling him what they went through to get him, and the looks in their eyes when he wanted to stay. He, unlike you, is intelligent enough to understand the sacrifices they made for him.
Honestly, I don't know why I'm bothering. You are obviously either a troll or just someone who isn't even as intelligent as a pile of dog turds.
For the umpteenth time, dork, Ryan didn't have much of any emotional attachment to those men. Just watch the movie from the initial scene. How many times you unintelligent moron do you have to be told this? God.

That is simply your retarded opinion, and since your brain is warped from AIDS from sucking so many d!cks in the men's room glory hole, we know your opinion is sh!t.
Let me ask you this, retard. Why is it that only you think you are right? No one else here or in other threads agree with your stupidity. No chance you could be the one who is wrong, is there, you psychopath? share
your brain is warped from AIDS from sucking so many d!cks in the men's room glory hole, we know your opinion is sh!t.go f^ck yourself.
Others have been here saying what I've said. Resident fan boys always abuse report function and engage in nasty personal attack (see what you did above) and that chases most off.
Plenty of people think the same about this movie and that ignorant plot hole. I have said so once here on this thread to you. YOu just keep ignoring it and repeating your narrative. share
Others have been here saying what I've said.
The "others" being the voices in your come filled head?

Keep telling yourself that, d!ck breath. It is jack offs like you who make idiotic posts and become belligerent when someone questions you.

For the last time, your dildos are NOT people. share
Plenty of people have come here over the years and said the same. If you want to believe it is voice in head, go ahead and fellate yourself, then.
Resident fan boys do attack those who express any negativity about "their show", a*shole. You can ignore the truth, it doesn't change it.
For the last time, you intra uterine device people, this movie is lame-O.
Like I said, child. Just because you are too shallow and immature to understand how Ryan could have developed a bond with the men who risked their lives to come rescue him doesn't mean he didn't.
There are stories all the time of people who become friends after one of them helps the other in an emergency. Some cop helps out a family in need and they end up forming close bonds.
And, that isn't done under the stress and danger of war.
But, I'm sure you are so stupid you'll call it a plot hole, even though you don't actually understand what that is.
Like I said, sissy boy. Ryan had no connection with those men to be baby sniveling like that over them. That is one of the biggest whoppers in this sham of a film. No matter how many times you claim it.
shareLook, just because you only bond with men buy licking other guy's come out of their azzes doesn't mean everyone does.
One day, when you get to be more than 12 mentally, you might understand that, but I doubt it.
Don't bring your sex pervert fantasies here to this board and project onto others.
Ole man Ryan had no emotional connection with those others. He wasn't around them long enough. Massive plot hole.
Speaking of massive holes; you like to tongue out your mother's massive hole that she acquired through too-many-to-count double anal videos.
It isn't my fantasy - it is what you keep PM'ing me begging to do to me.
Ole man Ryan had no emotional connection with those others. He wasn't around them long enough. Massive plot hole.
It's only a plot hole if you are a 12 year old, emotionally dead, sh!t eating retard who thinks that the only way people can have an emotional connection is if they spend a lot of time together, retard. share
Never PM'ed you about anything. Another lie you have concocted.
No, it is not a 12yr olds thought. It takes a 12 yr old, who has no experience in life, to not see the plot hole in this movie and to fall hool/line/sinker for it. Ryan didn't spend enough time with these movie characters to baby snivel like this.
It's just a bunch of mamby, pamby get in touch with your feelings booole shyte designed to feminize men. Pure and simple. Lets' just all admit to this.
Ryan didn't spend enough time with these movie characters to baby snivel like this.
You keep saying this as if it were true. Just because you believe it to be true doesn't mean it is. We see it all the time where strangers become friends because they share some quick, traumatic experience.
You have nothing substantial to support your belief that they hadn't spent enough time together for them to have bond.
If you have something factual to support your delusional belief, please post it. And, by something factual, something which can be verified independently - not something else you simply made up.
Until such time as you actually produce an actual fact to support your BS, we'll just consider you to be wrong. share
It is true. Just watch the movie. Fan boys like you are just playing make believe in your head that real life happens just like this movie and its plot. Real life doesn't. Just ask the actual veteran; universally didn't give a rat's a*s about any new guys.
And many over the years have come to this board and given the same critique and have been mercilessly chased off the board with nasty personal attacks. Happens on other forums.
You are the one who's wrong.
It is true. Just watch the movie.
That isn't any kind of fact to support your claim. I'm talking research from a credible place which shows beyond a shadow of a doubt that there was no way Ryan could have formed any kind of bond, even after living with the knowledge of their sacrifices, because he hadn't spent enough time with them.
Just ask the actual veteran; universally didn't give a rat's a*s about any new guys.
Ryan wasn't a veteran and we aren't talking about them forming a bond with him.
And many over the years have come to this board and given the same critique and have been mercilessly chased off the board with nasty personal attacks.
I believe it. You are idiotically wrong and come belligerent when someone calls you out on your stupidity.
So, where is your credible source to prove that Ryan couldn't have formed a bond with those men? share
[deleted]
No, it is you who becomes belligerent when your "favorite show" is criticized.
Only when it is criticized for an idiotic point which cannot be factually proven in any way.
The bond this movie portrays between Ryan and those other men is what needs to be proven. It is not allowed to be assumed. ANd doesn't make any sense since Ryan hardly knew them.
Thank you for admitting you have no proof they couldn't have formed a bond.
The character Ryan was a veteran,
Yes, you finally got something right. However, you said,
Just ask the actual veteran; universally didn't give a rat's a*s about any new guys.
Ryan was the new guy and no one is saying anything about the guys in Capt. Miller's unit forming a bond with Pvt. Ryan.
Sad that you can't even remember which delusion you just posted.
share
You already indicated you didn't see the film; you claimed Ryan wasn't a veteran.
Ryan had no emotion for those other men. They had none for him. DOn't try to twist my words by taking them overly literal.
This movie is lame-O. As well as you.
No, you made the point that veterans wouldn't form a bond with a new guy. I pointed out that Ryan was the new guy and we weren't talking about the bond the other guys formed with him.
Ryan had no emotion for those other men.
Obviously he did.
They had none for him.
That has nothing to do with your bullsh!t point about a plot hole.
So, again, where is your actual, factual proof that Ryan couldn't have formed a bond because he didn't know them long enough? share
More double talk and blather from you. There is no emotional bond between those men and newcomer Ryan. No way in hell.
I'm not the only one who sees a plot hole. OP mentioned which is the reason for the thread. This type of subject has been one of the main topics here for years. Fan boys, like yourself, have abused the report function to get the threads deleted. No surprise here.
I don't need proof. Spielberg needs to provide it. And he didn't.
Saving Pvt. Ryn = lame-O.
More double talk and blather from you. There is no emotional bond between those men and newcomer Ryan. No way in hell.
Why? Because you say so? You have to have more than that otherwise it is simply your immature, ignorant opinion.
I'm not the only one who sees a plot hole.
That isn't any support for your delusion.
I don't need proof.
Another admission that you have nothing to sustain your childish opinion.
Spielberg needs to provide it.
Only to immature, ignorant children who need everything spoon-fed to them. share
[deleted]
No one else here or in other threads agree with your stupidity.
And they NEVER HAVE! Him thinking they have is just the manifestation of another cretin delusion. If he repeats his lie often enough, HE starts to believe it.

Yep. I bested him on the Internet. I blame high estrogen in the womb. He was probably a confused child and had to use a breast pump to ease the swelling. Look at his face - years of receiving splatterings share
I call him Coast Guard sailor and he seems incensed about it. At least, last time he did, some years ago. Maybe he's immune to it by now. Especially now the boards are going away.
He almost reminds me of that banjo kid in Deliverance. Ultimate insult, there.
The one thing I've always remembered about him, and there are several of these types on IMDB, is that the more esoteric/trivial detail the more confident he gets. So, I keep it as much as possible to discussion of general things. He just seems consumed by all this minutiae. Where does he get the time to do such? Beats me.
banjo kid
LOLZ - I would humbly submit Banjo Boy as his moniker. He does have a simmering rage issue. An Internet pedant. share
