Speilberg has done it again!!!
After watching the movie for my first time, I hated it. But I kept watching it for some strange reason and months later I bought it. For more then two years it ranks as my number one favorite movie. Speilberg depicts the war as accurate as it can get. During the wrath of the WWII Normandy invsion of 1944, three brothers were killed all over the world at Omaha, Utah, and New Guinea. After the mother finds out she realises the youngest son James is still alive. The army gets Capt. Miller(Tom Hanks) to take his men behind enemy lines and find the young Private before its to late. the cast also includes Edward Burns, Tom Sizemore, Matt Damon, Giovanni Ribisi, Jeremy Davis, Barry Pepper, Adam Goldberg, and Vin Dieasel. In all this movie was dedicated to the veterans. At Oscar night the film was awarded five Oscars including Best Director. It really was the winner of Best Picture Over Shakespear In Love. So see this movie. I've recommended it to more then 200 people and have seen it more then 500 times.
Saving Private Ryan, see it tonight... remember it forever.
A Magnificent war film!
Steven Spielberg is a favorite director of mine. His outstanding contribution to cinema include the films SCHINDLER'S LIST, E.T, JAWS, RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK and CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE THIRD KIND. Then came his brainchild, SAVING PRIVATE RYAN. It's a unforgettable film achievement that won five Academy Awards, including best director, but was robbed of the Best Picture award to SHAKESPEARE IN LOVE. Nevertheless, this film has had a philosophical and lasting influence to the way war films should match.
The World-War II era based film is loaded with powerful and graphic war scenes and the film's message is profound. Honor, dignity, and courage is spread throughout the film.
Outstanding actor Tom Hanks portrays Captain John Miller who leads his troops through the historic D-day invasion during WWII. He and his deticated men then embark on a dangerous mission to track down Private James Ryan, whose three brothers died on enemy line, and bring him home.
The production values are amazing. The cinematography is well-done, it sort of has a documentary feel to it. The sound is the best I've heard in a film ever! It sounds great on the DVD! The D-Day intro is absolutely breathtaking.
Spielberg made his usual masteriso work into making this the most realistic vision of any war film. It could have been the best, if the film would have a better story. But I mean that in the nicest way!
Recommended all the way!
