just only for saving private Ryan

Rating: 10/10 (17 March 2010)

With its cast , story , visual effects , production and direction saving private Ryan is an excellent experience to watch. The film starts in present United States than enters in its main plot of 1944 France at the occasion of d-day. Here Tom hanks along with his juniors including Tom Sizemore, Edward burns, Berry Pepper , Vin Diesel , and Giovnanni Ribsi are assigned to a task seek out Pfc James Francis Ryan and relieve him off the duty to send him home. The reason here is that he is only surviving son of widow who already lost her older sons in this war. As a gesture of humanity and sympathy , Chief of Army staff General George.C.Marshall himself ordered the search and transfer of private Ryan back to homeland. When Tom Hanks and his fellow comrades begin their search for their objective they had to go through hell on some places , in it they lost some of their own few men. The most compelling scene was the death of Giovanni Ribsi , the way he acted in that scene was so much disturbing but also showed his remarkable skill to portray the dying man. After a hectic long tense journey into the heart of France they spotted Pfc Ryan played here by Matt Damon ,told him the gruesome news of his bros death, but he refuses to leave , he believes that his fellow officers are also sons of other people ,they are also his brothers in arms, why he is only one to be left out of here. Then the team decided to stay but inside Capt Miller (Tom Hanks) had made a pledge not to let Pfc Ryan(Damon) to be harmed and left alone in harms way. Being a war movie lover i am very impressed by this film, if you are , you ll also be moved , its 3 hr long but very very good in the making and contains a strong plot. One of the best war movie of all time perhaps that 's why it finished with 5 Oscars although Thin Red Line was also competing against it with a huge inventory of cast & crew.
