A great World War II movie.

Rating: 9/10 (17 March 2009)

Saving Private Ryan was a great, yet tragic war story. It truly captured the life and times of World War II. This movie allows the viewer to see how soldiers thought and acted in World War II. It showed that most soldiers will sacrifice their own life in order to save others. The actual fighting of the war was extremely impressive, in that that era was captured beautifully and the director did a great job. The opening battle that took place in Normandy was, by far, the most impressive war scene I have seen in any movie. The great, yet graphic fighting depicted the brutal war and allowed for the viewer to imagine what the war would have been like if they were to have fought in it.
