Ep. 171: Saving Private Ryan
from Back Look Cinema: The Podcast · host Alonzo Richardson
Zo is eager to enjoy a nice day at the beach. He is looking forward to the pristine blue waters of the Atlantic at one of the beautifully maintained French beaches. Unfortunately, fate has twisted this peaceful dream into a Hellish nightmare as he finds himself as a soldier ready to assault the heavily armed and armored beach that's zealously defended by enemy Nazi soldiers. The chances of him surviving this assault is near zero. Men are being made into bloody Swiss cheese even before they're able to exit the landing craft and get onto the beach. There's no cover and the only way to go is forward. Forward into the unforgiving machine gun fire. All around him men scream for their mamas. Forward. Men are cut to pieces right next to him. Forward. It's impossible to see even where the enemy fire is coming from. He feels fear like he's never known.
