your whole life ahead of you
but may I finish things Walt comes to
care for his neighbor’s family and when

locating this needle in a haystack
Miller and his men help defend a
strategically important bridge our

bridge across the murder rap with the

here however as a result of the mercy he
showed a Nazi soldier earlier Miller
takes a bullet in the crossfire and
bleeds out after the skirmish but not
before offering Private Ryan some words
of advice
number two Braveheart what will you do
without freedom after almost everyone he
loves is killed at the hands of the

Scotland from oppression
Wallace then becomes the much-needed
symbol and leader of his countrymen as
he drives them into battle against the
British though he fights valiantly
Wallace is captured and publicly
tortured for his treason but is given
the opportunity to beg for mercy I just
said Oh oops instead of granting himself
a quick death Wallace uses his last
breath to confirm what he believes in
