i dont believe
although those names mean nothing to me so it could be talking bout something else entirely for all i know
Steamboat Willie is the nickname the guys gave him that was captured at the machine gun nest. After much argument over whether to kill him or not, Upham persuades them to let him go. According to what I read, most people think he was the same guy that shoved the knife into Mellish's chest while Upham just sat there crying on the steps.
Apparently they were two different soldiers.

I like the movie alot but the one problem I have with it is that it feels like two different movies. The scene to watch it for is the first 20 minutes, that scene is like everyone said pure awesomeness in its realism but once thats over the gritty realistic way the movie is shot turns into a more standard movie and loses its steam for me.

I can see that. I mean the beginning was pretty epic. But the battles in between keep it rolling right along till the bridge scene at the end, which is pretty epic in it's own right. Not as epic as storming the beaches of Normandy, but then again, what was?
Ya know, I just woke up on the couch (apparently I konked out at 7 or 8, looked through the TV guide and just realized Saving Private Ryan was just on TV... It ended at 11:30. 
I've got it on DVD, but not Blu-ray. Once you see it once in HD, you can't go back to standard def.

Ah damn, it's on again on WGN, but it's not in HD. Screw that. I'll wait.

Idk I that it was amazing. Its not just about the war scenes for me. Like when dude is talking about
when he used to pretend that he was sleeping when his mom came home from work when all she wanted was
to hear how his day was when they were staying in that church. Little things like that make a movie for
me.
But I also used to pretend I was sleeping when I was a kid when my mom came home so that scene in
particular is personal.
They way it was shot was also amazing. The grit and the feel of it just ties everything together.
Is every movie supposed to be crystal clear cgi hollywood?

I get it, that's what makes the movies for me too. The little things, the dialogue, the scenes where there's nothing but character development.
And for the record, as far as CGI goes at the Normandy D-Day battle, there was very little. They used over 400 gallons of fake blood, used amputee's as stand ins for soldiers that got their limbs blown off, in fact the only real CGI they used in that whole battle scene was bullet impacts and the sounds of rifles and machine guns firing.
Pretty amazing stuff. They wanted to keep it as real and as gritty as possible.

Im aware and I think thats why in my opinion its one of the best war movies if not one of the
best movies of all time. top 10 for me for sure.
