The Greatest American War Film

Rating: 10/10 (16 February 2019)

Saving Private Ryan was a heartfelt, explosive, gritty and violent war film that just knew what exactly happened on the events of WWII for the American allies. This movie was so forward, so riveting and so disturbing that it really made me look at my own military career and see how far we've come hundreds of years later. I cannot say that this film is inaccurate in anyway possible because it is just TOO accurate with the American men and women of the war. I was pleasantly impressed by how realistic the soldiers were and how each one had this unique story behind their enlistment, and prior life before deployment. The story revolves around saving just one man, but, anyone can see the true reason behind that. The movie was a huge success and I believe that reason was merely because of the fact that it truly acknowledges what happened to our soldiers and what they experienced overseas. As a soldier, this film speaks volumes and reaches miles to my heart. It is truly the greatest war film you can ever indulge yourself in. Because of how immersive and honest it is. Even if it's a violent, gory film, that's something people have to see to know just a percentage of what happens in combat and how it can change a man single handedly.
