Saving Private Ryan really was uncensored last weekend on TNT

[adam_f]

I turned it on maybe fifteen minutes into it and I heard Giovanni Ribisi yell 'FUCK' without it being edited to 'Oh, Geez' or something like that. And it looked like the violence wasn't cut out, either.

This is one of the few movies that deserves to be shown unedited. TNT never ceases to amaze me.

Language isn't censored over here. People can basically say what they want on tv and radio.

Some people I met on my trip to the US were surprised by this. Hello DandyFop and friends!

cable isnt held to the same standards as broadcast television and also steven spielberg negotiated that for the film to be shown on tv it must be done so unedited.

i hate watching movies on tv, mostly for the terrible commercial breaks, but the editing does get annoying sometimes as well

Imagine having language edited out of films and TV. The BBC has become so relaxed on the matter that 'Bullshit' is now considered "acceptable daytime language".

didn't they show it uncensored on ABC a few years ago? i'm sure that they had the violence.. maybe not the language

Apart from the Normandy landing scene, which itself had a few retarded moments, the movie just lapses into sentimental cheese mode way too often for me to care about it. The opening scene is ridiculously cornball, the dialogue is inferior and the plot, no matter based on a true story it is, is all the way gay.

I haven't ever watched that movie and doubt I ever will. Seems too depressing and I'm not much for war pics.

Yeah, cable TV isn't held to same broadcasting standards as networks. Have you ever watched The Shield? They say just about anything on there.

[insertnamehere]

they had it on the TV in the bar at where i work. nothing like watching people get blown to bits while you enjoy your bud light and fried rice (y)


i dont have a problem with the movie, i just thought it was kinda funny that they were showing there. i wouldnt have put it on for fear that some parent would freak out that they dont want their kid seeing it or something.

Wether the movies are in the dubbed version or not they cut the swearing words.

If they are in their original version they do the *bip* thing, like "hey f&¨&% you" and in the dubbed version they just "translate" it with an euphemism.

I remember the times most people didn't have cable here, including me, because cable only got popular on the late 90's, anyway, so most movies on TV were in the dubbed version and they never really translated those swearing words, especially the word "ass", which is not a cursing word or anything, but they used to say "behind" which is quite weird in my language. We don't say that at all. Now they are starting to say it in the right way, just when I finally started liking the word "BEHIND". DAMNIT!!!:mad:

Overrated pile of shit.

The far superior The Thin Red Line came out the same week and was completely overlooked because it wasn't a Spielberg film.

Cunts.

[Tzar]

^ thin red line wasn't that great either.

saving private ryan, when you think about, isn't a good movie. everyone thought it was good only because Speilberg turned up the voilence knotch to HIGH and no-one else had done that before.

i don't like movies that emphasize the fact that someone has half their leg blown off. that's all that was seen on the beach landing. yes - ok, people got wasted big time on Normandy, but shit. we don't need to see EVERY traumatic amputation on the beach.

my 2cents :rolleyes:

i enjoyed black hawk down

Thank you.

The Thin Red Line was great. Terrence Malick pretty much took the complete opposite approach to Spielberg's.

Saving Private Ryan got hammered in the press here when it came out. I presumed it was only remembered for the opening 20 minutes or so.
