Personal Summary of The Movie - Saving Private Ryan

Rating: 10/10 (3 April 2007)

This movie is about a mother that is about to be notified that three of her four sons have been killed in a war. The fourth son is not known to alive nor dead. Eight men begin a journey to find and bring the fourth son home to his mother. Throughout this journey you are taken to the war at that specific time. This movie shows what the war was truly like and helps people who have never suffered through a war really look and reflect on their life. This movie shows the extent to which a government will go to, to simply ease a mother's pain.
Another wonderful aspect of this movie is that when the fourth son is finally found and is informed of his brothers death he wants to continue with his mission that was set before him. He feels his brothers deaths would have been in vain if he does not complete his mission. Therefore the eight soldiers aid in in attempting his mission before returning home. This is another important aspect of the movie as it shows that most soldiers are there for a reason and believe in the cause they are fighting for.
