An Illusion
Maybe Lieutenant Dan was a bit gruff throughout the movie but he was easily a fan favorite. Later on, he becomes a more vulnerable character as he’s crippled from the war and audiences love watching his transformation. To make Lieutenant Dan’s injuries look realistic, cinematic technology came into play. Gary Sinise, who played the loved character, sat in a wheelchair and appeared not to have legs. However the digital team placed blue fabric over his legs so they could create a rather convincing illusion.
