Film Review
Do you want to watch an excellent dramatic action movie? Then you need to watch Saving Private Ryan, directed by Steven Spielberg. This film is magnificent as it provides such realism and such a serious tone throughout the entire film. The movie starts with a reenactment of D-Day, the horrific WWII invasion of Omaha Beach, Normandy in which our country came out victorious in, and shows how truly brutal it really was. As the soldiers progress further onto the beach that they soon take over, a group who is led by Captain Miller (Tom Hanks), assembles as they receive another mission. This new mission is to search and rescue Private James Ryan who is apart of a paratrooper platoon that landed in an enemy zone just out of contact. As they are proceeding on this search and rescue mission, they come across numerous issues and initiate a few fire fights along the way. As always, a few of the fellow soldiers die as they come closer to reaching their target and things begin to get more and more out of hand. As they come upon their target, they once again face incredible forces and have to defend themselves until backup arrives. As it comes to an end, they become victorious and control the area they fought for but are faced with a very dramatic outcome. This film really gives you the idea of how intense war really is and just how accurate the outcomes would be like.
What's so wonderful about the accuracy of this movie is that it is based on the true events of the Normandy invasion of WWII and shows how gruesome it really was. The landscaping of the beach along with the architectural structures it has prepared was almost ideal to the actual beaches layout. When they go through the movie, scenes where they come across enemy platoons, the way they go about surrendering or killing is very accurate. Whereas some films break out into some huge fake fire fight and start all over. The movie is precise on keeping you intrigued and keeping the tone serious so you will keep watching.
Keeping the tone serious keeps the movie going. All the characters in the movie are extremely serious and the language they use show it. It is a war movie so you expect the language and actions to be aggressive and serious and that's exactly what you get. The actions are flawless and the way they go about things, such as the death of fellow soldiers is great. They don't break out and make it a big deal, they put dirt in a can with the name of the dead soldier on it and go about the mission. They went about death very well and stuck together as a unit and kept it very realistic.
The realism is what keeps this movie alive. The action is so intense, the gun battles are incredible, and the sound effects are just phenomenal and bass dropping. The sounds of the different weaponry are so realistic tying into the accuracy and acting of the film. The gore and blood of some battles may be disturbing to certain viewers because it's so brutal and gruesome.
Overall, I would recommend the movie Private Ryan, for all movie lovers. The accuracy of the actual events that transpired on Omaha Beach were historical. The seriousness of the actors portraying the soldiers in my opinion, is done with respect and honor. Honor to all the soldiers who lost their lives that day defending our country. As you are watching the battle scenes the realism in the acting, sound effects, and special effects, makes you feel like you could be right there on the battlefield with the soldiers. Again, if you're in the mood for a good war movie based on actual events, this is the movie for you.
