'Saving Private Ryan' is the most realistic and powerful war film ever made!

Rating: Null/10 (27 June 2014)

Sacrifice is often challenging for men in dangerous positions. No eight film characters besides the eight soldiers in Steven Spielberg's war masterpiece 'Saving Private Ryan' have dedicated more sacrifice in the history of film. WW II was a harsh war that caused many fatalities and tragedies. Entire families like the Ryan boys were sent out to war. In 'Saving Private Ryan' we see four brothers loose 75% of their legacy, leaving only Private James Ryan to live. When Captain Miller (Tom Hanks) is sent out with seven other soldiers to rescue Private Ryan so that the Ryan family would have one last child to hang on two. As the eight men try and rescue Private Ryan somewhere in the battlefields of Germany, they encounter extreme war situations causing fatalities and conflict between the eight men. Many argue with each other, loose hope, show strong emotions, and complain about how the eight of them have to risk their lives for one man. However, some positivism is derived from their mission. Many friendships are formed between soldiers as they connect with each other and help each other through battle. Steven Spielberg's directing is extremely superb and magnificence. He takes you into the line of war liken no filmmaker, and has extremely intense and realistic battle sequences to show how much sacrifice the brave men of WW II gave in order to promote peace and liberty. The battle sequences are perfectly made with amazing editing, sound, and effects that are entertaining for the powerful soul purpose and to make the story strong. Bravo to the actors Tom Hanks, Edward Burns, Matt Damon, Jeremy Davis, and Tom Sizemore for giving powerful performances as soldiers throughout the entire film, and never getting off guard in the film. The main theme of 'Saving Private Ryan' is not only to give the first hand experience of WW II battle brought to life, but to show a story of sacrifice. The mission to save Private Ryan is a metaphor for how soldiers throughout history give of themselves for others, and how their sacrifice can never be thanked enough. This is the best war film ever made!
