Saving Private Ryan

Rating: 9/10 (26 October 2011)

This film deserves the title of film. It is not just a movie. Steven Spielberg does an excellent job of instilling historical accuracy. He made it a priority and it paid off. Saving Private Ryan is a movie that will stand the test of time. I could show this to someone who knew nothing of world war 2 and they would be quickly caught up on the things that happened. The characters portrayed the actual feelings of soldiers during the time. Most soldiers were scared and unsure. Most war movies portray fearless and unquestioning soldiers, which is not accurate. After the Sullivan brothers this type of situation was more common. This is informative yet interesting. It is not dry like most other informative pieces. This is also addresses the fact that most veterans are still affected by the war.
