Grey sky. Soldiers prepare for landing. Shoot, scream, sand. The chamber trembles after a bomb explodes. Shoot, blood red sea, dead soldiers, shoot, scream.
The first 20 minutes are chaotic, gray and impressive. Spielberg through a spectacular visual and sound montage offers the viewer a unique experience, never seen before with total immersion in the attack on the Normandy coast of 1944.
When the landing, among countless victims, successfully closes Miller (Tom Hanks) is ordered to find the soldier Ryan (Matt Damon) the last of his family to remain alive. Miller forms a group of soldiers that he must keep steady day after day because the numerous adversities risk dissolving him. In fact, the soldiers will have to answer existential questions and face the numerous gunfights where reason is known to drown and strength prevails.
