Sex & Nudity
-
- Some sexually-themed banter between soldiers. One soldier describes him and his brother catching their older brother in a barn about to take a girl's bra off before she notices them and runs off. Another soldier describes being sexually aroused seeing a woman with large breasts.
Violence & Gore
-
- Heavily graphic and frequent violence throughout, with it making you appreciate the small quiet moments. Easily one of the most violent films out there.
- Many people are blown up. Sometimes there is gore but other times theres none.
- A Flak gun is used against an American infantry unit, killing them.
- Just after the camera cuts to a different angle, a tank crew man is shot in the face at point-blank range. Some blood that sprays out from the headshot can be seen.
- A bomb blows up prematurely in a soldiers hands, killing him instantly. Intense and bloody. Chunks of blood spray and spurt.
- A nazi is shot through a wall by a machine gun. Blood sprays onto a wall and is seen for the rest of the movie. We hear a thud and see a puddle of blood form on the ground.
- A soldier is shot in the throat. Blood squirts and dribbles from his mouth. Blood puddles beneath his body. This scene is brutal.
- A medic tends to a soldier that has a very graphic wound on his shoulder. Blood is shown and he is yelling and wincing.
- Several nazis are intensely gunned down by a squad of soldiers inside of a kitchen. Blood and smoke are everywhere. One nazi has blood drooling out of his mouth.
- Several scenes with charred up dead bodies shown throughout the movie.
- There is a very intense event in which a young soilder without an arm, seems to calmly (due to shock) pick up his recently dismembered arm and walks away.
- An American sniper shoots a Nazi sniper right through the scope into his eye. The bullet goes through the entire head (we very briefly see his gory eye socket and bits of matter spray) and stains the wall behind the nazi with blood. Graphic.
- Two soldiers (who are Czech) are clearly attempting to surrender with their hands in the air but are shot by US soldiers and then mocked ("Look, I washed for supper").
- A soldier is briefly seen headless.
- Intense war violence throughout (especially in the first 20 minutes). All of it is realistic, but like a lot of other live-action war movies, it's meant to portray how awful war is. This is definitely the darkest DreamWorks movie, ahead of Artificial Intelligence. That's saying a lot.
- Strong violence through out the whole movie. In the beginning scene where they storm the beach you see dozens of men get brutally killed and shot up Left to right.
- A solider has his head blown off by a machine gun, although the camera doesn't focus on it and it could be hard to see.
- Captain Miller turns over a corpse to find it has no face, very gory.
- An explosion happens causing limbs to fly through the air, the camera moves to a young solider without a leg, flesh dangles from the stump, very grim.
- Many scenes portraying death up close & personal... War wounds & very graphic blood, guts, and chunks of flesh & brains flying in all directions, with brutal stabbings, shootings, exploding bodies no holds barred (you get the picture (literally))...
- A soldier is shot in the neck, he clutches his neck and tries to hold pressure, he bleeds out and dies on the floor while his comrade fights a nazi.
- The first 27 minutes of the film depict soldiers landing on Omaha beach in Normandy. This is the most graphic and intense part of the film, and the sequence contains bloody, graphic violence, which can be disturbing. During the sequence many soldiers are shot with bloody results, people have their limbs shot off, people are burned etc. At the end of the landing sequence the beach is littered with corpses, and the ocean is tinted red.
- Very strong bloody and graphic violence throughout. The film features prolonged extreme war violence with dismemberment, soldiers engulfed in flames and other intense images. The depiction of war violence remains consistent throughout the film, with hand-to-hand combat, sniper fire, and other inherently violent depictions of war fighting.
Profanity
-
- Some uses of "goddamn", son of a bitch", "prick", and "asshole" including one use addressed to the main character.
- Several religious exclamations including GD and JC.
- 15+ uses of "fuck", 15 uses of "shit", and 1 use of "cocksucker" 9 unfinished f words.
Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking
-
- Morphine is used to sedate a wounded soldier.
- Characters often smoke cigarettes one character chews chewing tobacco
- Scenes show the use of tobacco products, but no illegal substances.
Frightening & Intense Scenes
-
- The entire film has extremely intense, graphic, bloody and chaotic battle sequences that are very brutal and violent.
- A man is seen picking up his own arm and walking off, one of the darkest scenes of the movie.
- Intense and realistically gory war violence throughout (especially in the first 20 minutes), but like a lot of other live-action war movies from the mid-90's and on (when they perfected gory special effects), it's meant to portray what war is actually like in real life, and to discourage war. It can also be portrayed as educational to the military if a war does start, though.
- This is undoubtedly one of the most horrifyingly graphic, intense depictions of the horrors of war to ever be put to film. It really puts you at ground-zero of the action in a truly visceral, heart-pounding way, so much so that it will make a deep impression on you that will remain long after the movie is over.
- The battle sequences throughout the film are very intense. The opening and closing sequences feature realistic war-fighting, loud gunfire, booming explosions, hand-to-hand combat, intense depictions of death and sequences of soldiers succumbing to their wounds. The intense battle sequences make the viewer immersed by means of handheld cameras, and getting close to the action, to a point where there is frequently blood or rain water on the lens of camera.
- The first war scene is truly very violent. It is about 20 minutes long. You can't get any more realistic than that scene. Lots of people die.
Spoilers
Violence & Gore
- Caparzo is killed by a nazi sniper. He falls to the ground and bleeds out all over the ground. A massive puddle of blood is shown next to him. This scene is very sad because he asks a soldier to give something to his father but dies before he can say anything else
- Jackson kills many Nazis with a sniper, in which several fatal blows are heard. Blood is sometimes shown spewing. He is then killed by a huge explosion. This scene is sad and very unexpected.
- Captain Miller dies from multiple body shots by nazis. Lots of blood is shown on his uniform and he slowly succumbs to his death.
- Sergeant Horvath gets shot multiple times and sustains a few injuries, he is eventually killed by a bullet to the heart from an enemy soldier. This scene is disturbing and sad. His dead body is shown a few times.
- Upham kills a nazi soldier offscreen.
- Several American soldiers make a Nazi soldier dig his own grave as punishment for the death of Wade, the Medic. He is let go, which proves to be a mistake as he joins up with another group of Nazis and is present at the end where he kills several of the same American soldiers
- The last 27 minutes of the movie is a prolonged battle sequence that features a lot of disturbing war violence and deaths of major characters.
- The medic, Wade is shot several times (offscreen) and the others try to tend his wounds. This sequence is incredibly graphic as blood gushes from his wounds while he makes reference to his liver failing, and he eventually dies, crying for his mother. This scene is extremely bloody, emotional and disturbing.
- At one point toward the end of the film, Mellish is locked in hand-to-hand combat with a nazi solider, eventually ending with the painfully slow death of Mellish by being slowly impaled in the heart with a knife. Emotionally hard to watch, as the immediate events leading up to this point may build up heavily for some people.
Frightening & Intense Scenes
- Many deaths in this movie can be intense, but possibly the most depressing one is Wade's (the medic). His death is shown in an extremely realistic way, and his reactions from his comrades make the scene all the more sad. However, the scene only lasts a few minutes.
