School Review for Saving Private Ryan

Rating: 9/10 (25 October 2011)

This movie was an awesome representation of D-Day and supplemental missions. I thought that the although 'fake' mission to save Private Ryan was also fairly accurate. People do not realize that war was a terrible place to be and that many people did not die as quickly and peacefully as other movies depict. I also must commend the director for portraying the character of Upham. Spielberg created a character that everyone absolutely hated. The screenplay as well as cinematic feel of the movie were better than any other movie to date in my opinion. The inaccuracies of the movie do not take away from the story and are all just minor things that most people overlook. The major flaws are not even that big of a deal, just things with emblems and the such. All in all, this movie shows a fairly accurate portrayal of WWII.
