Jumping in with your opinion about the movie as a whole is skirting dangerously close to threadshitting.

Sorry!
That was me trying to answer the question with, “No. I could not accept that coincidence, but the Camel’s back was already broken.”
Gee. That’s not much clearer, is it?
I’ll try to behave.
I just now realized this was a Zombie! :smack:

Although we the audience see that Willie delivers Miller’s fatal shot (because we see it as a Willie POV), I think it would’ve been impossible for Upham to discern who killed whom from his vantage point and from the mayhem around him. We never see him observing the battle, just cowering in a pseudo-foxhole as the Germans pass his position. It seems reasonable that he wouldn’t come out from cover until it was firmly established that his side had the significant upperhand.
Actually, the scene strongly indicates Upham has just seen Captain Miller being shot by Steamboat Willie. In this short clip:
0.44 - Camera is roughly from Willie’s vantage and he shoots Miller.

Guys, the question was not “did you like this movie” or “should I watch this movie,” but is Character X the same as Character Y. Jumping in with your opinion about the movie as a whole is skirting dangerously close to threadshitting.

Sorry, I felt that the question had been answered and a more general discussion of the film was proceeding.

Yeah, pretty conclusive from the way that was filmed.

I stand corrected (been a decade since I’ve seen the film, probably). Thanks!
