A Not Soon To Be Forgotten Kinda Film
Every one has the potential of making a good movie many don't use that potential. Steven really used it to its fullest and went above the call of duty. The actors did the same to give you the pain of war.

This movie is another WWII film, but this one actually gives you the facts of war. You aren't invincible bullets can and will kill. Characters die in a muzzleflash of speed, main character or not.

This movie seems really inspired the opening seen probably wont leave your mind any time soon. It is gory but to the veterans who fought in this war that's just how things went. This movie seems less like a film and more like a war and that's what Steven set out to do and accomplished that.

The battles really get you going you will start to feel for the characters yelling out in agony. The story takes you into the eyes of the soldiers of D-day and then all over Germany. A small group of soldiers are told to search for a soldier named Ryan. As his mother is very upset knowing all her other kids died in war.
The chances of young Private Ryan still being alive are slim, but the group of soldiers still wonder off looking for him.

This group of soldiers experience the tragedy of loss in search of Ryan and they get at eachothers necks. The battles just keep coming from stealthy approaches to opening fire out in blind daylight. The scenery seems dusty and destroyed in debries.The amount of bloodloss is disturbing and the men who fought and died will never know if they truly won. The group has specialists such as the marksman and team leader. Guns jam on occasion and ammo runs out often. This is the most realistic war movie ever depicted.

I give would give this the highest honor is story telling to date. This isn't just a rental it's definitely a purchase title.




war is hell..............
Sorry, thought I was writing a review for " Shaving Ryan's Privates", a porn. Haven't seen this film, but heard it is a comedy classic, with Bossum Buddy, Tom Hanks in it. Sam Malone makes a cameo, awesome, hope Woody was there to pour the drinks. I heard people die in gruesome fashion, sweet, I think the Germans were Zombies with overbloated scrotums. Peace out, U.S. rules.

Good war film
Saving Private Ryan is a great war film. The combat and violence is staggering and difficult to watch at times, but it does prove how horrific the battles were. As I said, I admire "Ryan" for its realism of war, but as for characters, I didnt find it that appealing. It seemed like the characters just werent developed enough. It probably was not like this at all in real life, but it seems that in the movie the soldiers were automatically made out to be complete ignorant jerks to each other. For example, the medic shouts out in the middle of the Omaha invasion(I think it was Omaha) why the Germans arent giving them a chance? Well, are you going to give them a chance?..........
Then one soldier tries to emphasize the importance of brotherhood in war and that the men should care about each other, and the soldiers just laugh at him and make fun of him for it, but when their two men get killed, all of a sudden they are so sensitive and compassionate and decide to use that to intimidate Private Ryan when he refused to leave the squad.
Saving Private Ryan is a great drama and war film, but if you are looking for better developed characters in a war film, try Platoon.
How could "Ryan" get Best Director Oscar but not Best Picture?
