Saving Private Ryan (Omaha Beach scene) Warning: graphic language/violence! My hope, of course, was to walk you through this but at least you can watch and ask questions on my Blog/text. When I finally convinced my father, who was a frogman/Navy Seal that day (and only 18), to watch it, he said it was a real as he could imagine a film to be. No notes...just watch and think about what you expect to be doing at 18. And, yes, you do need to turn in the notes!
