You can watch Saving Private Ryan for free on YouTube right now, so there are a lot of YouTube reactions to it popping up in my recommends. It's a powerful movie. It's full of scenes that qualify to be picked as the scene that wrecked you. I'm having trouble choosing between two scenes in particular.
The first being the the mother of four sons involved in D-Day, three of which died, sank to the deck of her porch as a priest and army officer emerged from an army car, which could mean only one thing. The whole scene is so panoramic as the car drove up the dirt road to the farm house and you feel the growing horror of a mother.
The second being the arm to arm struggle between Private Mellish and the big German. It's so horrific when the German overpowers the smaller Mellish, which shouldn't have happened because Corporal Upham, who froze in fear, didn't respond with extra ammo for Mellish. "Shhhhh..." said the German as Mellish begged, "No, no.." slipping the knife into his chest.
Both scenes wrecked me. So what scene in any movie, wrecked you?
