Corporal Upham – Saving Private Ryan (Jeremy Davies)

"In a film all about courage, Upham’s cowardice serves as an effective juxtaposition to the bravery of his peers (known in storytelling as a ‘foil’). On an intellectual level, I understand the human mind is complex and fragile. We contain multitudes, and our initial reactions to extreme stress and trauma can sometimes take us by surprise and feel out of our control.

However, on a visceral level, I want to curb-stomp this weak, gutless, worm."
