Someone has re-edited Saving Private Ryan to feature only the women

Michael Lanigan

A gripping two and a half minute epic.

Yes, we all had a good laugh at that Men’s Rights Activist who threw a hissy fit and re-cut Star Wars: The Last Jedi to feature only the male characters.

There wasn’t any way of responding to the news in a serious way:

It was really that stupid. All you could do was laugh…

One person however, had an even better response, which was to flip the tables and put out something equally as ridiculous. So ridiculous really, that it was actually ingenious.

Sure, there now exists a cut of The Last Jedi, in which no woman will play a part, but how about a version of Saving Private Ryan, in which there are no men?

Yes, now you can enjoy the Steven Spielberg war epic without any men at all, save for the one unfortunate, but unavoidable nod to the titular Private Ryan whose name makes up two thirds of the title.

Cut by the Twitter user Logan James, he explained simply:

“In response to the MRA douche who edited all the women out of #TheLastJedi, I decided to edit all of the men out of Saving Private Ryan.”

What we are left with is almost two and a half minutes of scenery, and only one actual scene, in which Mrs. Margaret Ryan looks out a window.

And if that piqued your interest, why not turn this into a mini double bill, because he has also re-cut Shawshank Redemption.

Guess what? It’s even better.

The film is now only some names carved into the walls and that poster of Marilyn Monroe.

Ladies and gentlemen, the Internet, because nobody should be taken seriously.
