Steven Spielberg’s Omaha Beach landings are not for the faint of heart. And that’s the point
, Tom Hanks trotted out some seemingly well-polished titbits about making his biggest films; the sort ofrecollections you might imagine him sending forth to amuse his guests at one dinner party after another.
The 24-minute sequence captures war in a way that we hadn’t seen before, and hasn’t been matched since. It’s the nervous shakes that possess Hanks’ hands. The vomit. The desperate surprise of soldiers drowning in the shallows, dragged down by their gear. The indiscriminate German bullets landing with a ‘puft’ in American chests. The relentless machine gun fire and explosions.
To watch this opening salvo is to witness this veteran’s story transposed directly onto the screen. It’s a guttural, terrifying sequence that plays like something from a horror film. As it should; so realistic was this beach assault that it was reported to have triggered PTSD in veterans.
