Saving Private Ryan

Best WWII movie ever made so far. Definitely one of the most popular WWII movies ever made so far (if not the most popular WWII movie ever made).

Taking place in WWII, a missing american soldier named Private James Ryan (Matt Damon) lost all of his brothers in combat. Captain John Miller (Tom Hanks) is ordered to find Private James Ryan hoping to find him before he gets killed and his mother has no living sons left.

Loosely based on a true story during WWII, where an American soldier named Frederick Niland went missing and all of his brothers were thought to be KIA. Being the only brother/son left in the family, a group of soldiers were ordered to find and save him so he can be discharged and sent home safely.

The beggining of the movie takes place during D'Day. The D'Day part is intense. The D'Day part was accurate (according to D'Day veterans in real life).

Similar to "Band of Brothers", (a miniseries taking place in WWII involving Tom Hanks as well as Steven Speilberg).
Person-What's that movie with Tom Hanks and Matt Damon?

Me-Saving Private Ryan. Best WWII movie ever made. Like I bet most other WWII movies are not even close

I save the Princess I stomp on the Goomba

A direct quote from 'Mario evades the IRS' by Solid jj. References Mario, as well as tropes of various games in the Super Mario franchise (i.e rescuing Princess Peach from kidnappings, or jumping on Goombas to clear platforming challenges). Commonly used to refer to the simplicity of Mario as a concept, by implying the character exists simply to regularly fulfill these two tasks.
Mario's purpose is essentially "I save the Princess I stomp on the Goomba."

saving

In CS:GO, hiding and surviving the round instead of engaging the enemy team in order to keep your weapon into the next round. Comes with the downside of not earning any round-loss money if the bomb wasn't planted.
Many people dislike the saving meta that's currently the norm in professional CS.
