This twenty-year-old World War II film still can't be surpassed! Those big scenes in the movie "Saving Private Ryan" have become the classics of epic masterpieces!
Today it is not the movie, but the impressive character "Sniper" in the movie.
Why isn't he in the poster???
The sniper in Saving Private Ryan is jackson, real name: Barry Pepper
Miller's sniper Jackson is a very magical presence in "Saving Private Ryan", relying on him at the beginning of the beach landing, relying on him in the rain war in the French town, and relying on him in the final moments of saving Ryan. (Such an important character, why is there no him in the poster?) Hug him up!
However, in the final battle, Jackson ambushed the Bell Tower while sniping at the Germans, due to multiple shots, the position was exposed. The moment the German tank destroyer pointed the barrel at the bell tower, Jackson was wiped out...
I shouldn't be here
Jackson's sniping at the Germans on the clock tower seemed to have committed a sniper taboo, because he was also exposed to the enemy's attack field while effectively attacking the enemy.
But the last battle is different from the other battles in the film, it is a close-quarters offensive and defensive battle, and it is a "dead end"... No matter where Jackson was placed, he would not be able to escape. This is the plot of the director introducing a tragedy, deeply rooted in people's hearts.
In the plot, he played the savior of his comrades many times, and those few profound plots;
1: In the opening Normandy beach-grabbing landing, several assaults failed to cross the BLOCKADE of the MG-42, and finally Jackson shuttled through the rain of bullets, rushed into a crater, and the accurate two bullets ended the German machine gunners and successfully opened the landing gap.
2: In the rain battle in the French town, in order to save innocent little girls and comrades, Jackson relied on his experience and the echo of the gunshots after the German sniper shots, accurately located the German sniper lurking in the bell tower, and decisively fired, a calm and brave blow, this gun was like a divine help through the scope of the enemy sniper rifle to kill the enemy on the spot.
3: In the last moments of saving Ryan, Jackson ambushed in the bell tower to observe the enemy's movements, and when the enemy launched a surprise attack, Jackson shot continuously, killing several enemies, effectively suppressing the German charge, leaving precious time for his comrades, but this was a feat completed at the cost of his life.
But in these plots, there is still a point of portrayal that I don't know if everyone has noticed?
It is the sniper Jackson who reverently recites the Bible and kisses the cross before each shooting, showing the piety and divinity in the fire of war, which the classics do not repeat.
The prayer that is recited
God, please don't stay away from me
Be not Thou far from me,O Lord.
You are my strength, help me
All my strength! Haste Thee to help me.
God, I trust you
Oh my God,I trust in Thee.
Don't let me be ashamed, don't let the enemy play a triumphant song on me
Let me net be ashamed. Let not my enemies triumph over me.
The Lord is my strength, He teaches me hand war, He teaches me finger fighting
Blessed be the Lord my strength,which teaches my hands to war and my fingers to fight
My kindness and refuge. It's my tower and the liberator
My goodness and my fortress. My high tower and deliverer.
He is my shield, what I rely on
My shield and He in whom I trust.
Classic is worthy of the classic, every time you look back, you will fall in love with the role of Jackson again, some of the actor roles are set by the director, some are the actor's own attributes, and jackson sniper is his own critical attack attribute, a little bit to fill this role exquisitely three-dimensional.

There is also a character below that I like more, the war correspondent in "We Used to Be Warriors".
"We Used to Be Warriors" Vietnam War blockbuster
Barry Pepper is just a supporting character in the film, a war correspondent.
The story takes place in the early days of the Vietnam War in 1965, when 450 soldiers of the first battalion of the Seventh Cavalry Regiment of the U.S. First Cavalry Division, under blind command, landed unknowingly and unprepared in the center of the North Vietnamese army's concentration. The North Vietnamese had already deployed more than 2,000 troops around the landing site, and the fighters of the first battalion had to face an enemy nearly 5 times their own. Despite the strong long-range and air fire support behind them, after all, there was a huge disparity, and the officers and men of the first battalion had to carry out an unusually heavy survival battle.
Barry Pepper starred as a ground warfare journalist, "Josephine Gelway," who wanted to interpret the war through his lens. One of the classic lines of dialogue: He says that instead of holding a gun, he wants to tell the American people what's going on here through his camera.
There is an important plot in it: but when the battle is at its most intense, when whether he can live or not is a test, he puts down the camera, picks up the gun and goes into battle, just like the military chief told him: Now there are no non-combatants! Grab a gun and save your life! He experienced this battle and saw the fierce cruelty on the battlefield. When the reporters asked him what was going on here, he chose silence!
War correspondents, who recorded the entire battlefield with their cameras, also experienced the battles! The story itself is a true depiction of the Vietnam War, where they fought not for their country, not for the flag, but for each other. War is always brutal, and there is never a victor on the battlefield.
Finally write here, eat a bubble noodles, wash and sleep, and next time edit the film "We Used to Be Warriors" for everyone to see
