Self - Segment "Saving Private Ryan" : Steven wanted "Saving Private Ryan" to be a different kind of, very tactical and personal, war movie. We had no idea that Omaha Beach was going to be what it was like when we started. He did not describe anything to us! He was playing with our sense of confusion and panic and fear. Capturing the moment of our own shock or our surprise or our own blankness. And the difference between standing around before we were shooting, saying, "Hey, ready to do this? Nice to meet you man. Here we go. Can you swim? You can't swim? Well, man, you better because you're in a Steven Spielberg movie, man. You better..." We're talking like that and then it opened up and all the powers of physical moviemaking went berserk.
