Extremely Powerful, Intense, And Immersive Experience Involving Rangers Throughout/After The Normandy Landings (One Of The Greatest War Movies Of All Time!)

Rating: 10/10 (24 November 2018)

Bravery, courage, and determination are some key terms that involve around this powerful look on the events during and after the Normandy Landings. As to having a more complex plot, Saving Private Ryan is a story about the mission being a man. If the soldiers think that going through terrible trouble is worth it, then audiences will experience (probably) the most immersive look on the subject of war. Steven Spielberg directs Saving Private Ryan with the amount of direction a director needs to pull off a story about true horrific events. Before starting my first review, I really want to put out on how powerful this movie was. I was shocked, surprised, and interested all at the same time! I give thanks to all of our soldiers who have fought to protect our country during the World Wars, the rest of the 20th century wars, and even wars today. Without them, protection wouldn't be seen throughout in our country.
Saving Private Ryan involves around Captain John H. Miller (Tom Hanks) and his team of Rangers during the Normandy Landings. His team consisted of Sergeant Horvath (Tom Sizemore), Private Mellish (Adam Goldberg), Private Reiben (Edward Burns), Private Jackson (Barry Pepper), Private Caparzo (Vin Diesel), T-4 Medic Wade (Giovanni Ribisi), and Corporal Upham (Jeremy Davies). They suddenly get into a task with the mission being only one man. As to his three brothers being killed in action, Private Ryan (Matt Damon) is sentenced to return home. However, the war still isn't over while these group of Rangers track down Ryan. After the Normandy Landings, danger still heads their way during the war.
Critically acclaimed, Saving Private Ryan is truly (if not) my favorite War movie of all time so far! The scenery is real and Spielberg's direction makes the movie even more powerful. Also, this movie probably has got the most realistic representation of D-Day in 1944. The first 20 minutes of the movie is definitely not fun. Don't get me wrong that the rest of the movie is extremely intense and violent as well. As to watching this movie, I also found some form of messages. Soldiers (even important characters throughout the film) change in many ways. It can come from what's really important through the eyes of an American soldier. These soldiers stick together throughout the war, but going "behind enemy lines" is different. I give credit to the cast and crew for their amazing performances and work on this historically accurate World War II picture. I also give credit to Janusz Kaminski for his absolutely outstanding movie cinematography and to Spielberg for his leading direction.
I give Saving Private Ryan a 10/10 for Spielberg's outstanding direction, the great performances from the cast, and the stunning cinematography from Kaminski. The score, including "Hymn to the Fallen", is also outstanding from John Williams himself! The whole war experience of D-Day was outstanding and accurate! And again to the soldiers: thank you so much for your service!
