About Saving Private Ryan, the initial cut given to the MPAA was given an X rating (due to the violence). An X Rating is horrible for a film feature as most cinemas will not screen X-rated movies at all. Speilberg went back and re-edited it, sent it for another review- Another X Rating. Speilberg protested privately and publicly about the merit of the film being put jeopardy by censoring the brutality. Unfortunately, Spielberg was eventually forced to re-cut the film to the MPAAs R-rating standard. It still turned out to be a prestige and masterful work, but to think that the MPAA would censor such beautiful art (and not an unfounded gore flick, ala Hostel 1,2,etc), gets me mad. :whip:

This clip shows that God was helping him.What are the odds that two perfectly functioning guns would malfunction at the same time!

Amazing movie, so well written and acted, and like nachos already mentioned, a real tear jerker.
My other favourite scene from this movie which i was unable to find on youtube, was when roberto was being lead off to be executed and his son was hiding in that box. How even in the face of death he makes some humor of it, to protect his son and imitates how the german officer is marching :)

I don't know how I forgot about this scene, but when I saw it in theaters, my chin was literally on the ground.

I've yet to see that movie. Judging by what I just watched, this is the next movie I MUST see. Camera work and scenery resembles that of Saving Private Ryan. Thanks for the clip. :)

I thought it was phenomenal - very existentialist with some moments of intense suspense. Cuaron is one of my favorite directors. That's actually probably my third favorite scene from the movie, but the others weren't on youtube.

After seeing that scene. I wen't out tonight and rented the movie. It's brilliant. Such a melancholy movie. Very 1984-esque. Question for you though (I'll probably have to rewatch to take it all in), is the country in a state of Martial Law? Or is there still a governing body that's just neglected from the story line?

Hmmm, has anyone posted anything from Meet The Feebles yet?

Martial law is probably about right. The book is supposed to address more of the particulars, but I haven't read it yet. It has a completely different take on the Fishes too I've heard. But basically I think the premise is that the British government passes a bunch of wide-sweeping security measures to address the immigration problem. Clive Owen is a government bureaucrat of some form or another, so the government does exist in more than a military capacity, it just isn't really shown in the movie. Glad you liked it!

The mayhem is just unreal in that scene. Up there with Godfather among my favourite movies ever.
