Saving Ryan's Privates

Rating: 9/10 (11 November 2002)

Since today is Veteran's Day I decided to review Saving Private Ryan.
Directed by Steven Spielberg this masterpiece War film contains perhaps the most realistic battle scenes captured on film. You see anyone can do an accurate war film but not many have the courage or patience to create an accurate war scene battle. Now while most war films, especially WWII movies tend to focus on the political side of the war this one focuses on the people who fought the war. Which is why this movie is so great. Don't get me wrong there's nothing wrong with doing a war movie centering on the political side but when you focus on the people it gives the movie more of an impact. Which is perhaps why Vietnam movies make some much have an impact on the audience. My theory is that WWII was such an accomplishment to the United States that Producers tend to focus on the political accomplishment.
