This is how the paratroopers from the 76th Airborne Division go on an assault. On rusty loaves. Of all the equipment, they are the only ones and "kopeks". Soon this too will be gone. Thanks to division commander Shikhabidov, who drives the guys to storm at any cost.

The desaturated look of Saving Private Ryan (1998) was deliberate, inspired by WWII color footage and newsreels. Hollywood copied the washed-out palette without the context, turning a precise choice into a generic war filter.
