In Saving Private Ryan......no, not talking about the carnage at the opening . Towards the end of the film during a raging battle.
American & German soldiers shooting at each other in a small room. Finally two are left alive and begin fighting with bare fist & knives.
A very young soldier and an older & much stronger German.
German gets the younger American down on the floor and begins to push his knife into the kids chest. The American knows he is about to die so pleads out a desperate: "...No! No! Please wait!"
But , the big German (as he pushes the knife into the guys heart)calmly says something in German and wispers: "SShhhhh!!" ...as if he's putting the young soldier to sleep.
This scene is just absolutely devastating. Very powerful.
Steven Speilberg at his best.
I realize most all have seen this movie...but perhaps there are a few who have not. It is a must see.My discription of the knife scene of course does not even begin to convey the edge-of-your-seat anticipation & emotion taking place on film.The fact that the soldier (earlier in the film) is Jewish, gives it even more poignancy.
I just watched S.P.R. the other night.
I've seen lots of people killing people scenes, but nothing in any other film I've seen contains a scene so powerful.
Just thought I'd remind everyone of a great film.
