Stevens Spielberg Master Piece

Rating: 10/10 (30 April 2019)

I remember watching this movie in theaters with my older brothers, I was just 16 years old. I was shocked, scared, and traumatized of the strong opening scene. Spielberg captures the harsh reality of war from begging to end, with the strong sense of patriotism, but with characters that show us that even war can brake the strongest men will when seeing those brothers of arms that we developed closed relationship can be gone in a matter of seconds. The story takes place in the European theater of War. A squad is tasked to recover Pvt. Ryan because the death of his brothers was reported to the same mother in which the Army took notice and realize that her last baby boy is what's left of her lineage. The Sole Survivor Policy "describes a set of regulations in the Military of the United States that are designed to protect members of a family from the draft or from combat duty if they have already lost family members in military service."
