An All-Time Classic

Rating: 10/10 (10 March 2014)

A true classic. And honestly my favorite Spielberg and movie of all time.
STORYLINE: The storyline starts during Omaha Beach. Were we somewhat meet are hero's. Around 30 minutes in the actual story comes into play. Private James Ryan's (Matt Damon) 3 brothers are all killed in the line of duty. So Captain John Miller (Tom Hanks) and all of his crew are set to find him and bring him back home.
CHARACTERS AND ACTING: The movie itself is powerful. The characters are smartly written. Because they question the mission. Why would 8 guys go over and save 1 man? Tom Hanks is as powerful as he ever is. He portrays his character of a man who has suffered during times of war. And his "That's my mission" speech always moved me. In short everyone does a great job.
OTHER: This movie is powerful. And after watching it you want to take a shower and sing "The Star Spangled Banner" Because it is patriotic and it makes you feel proud. And of course the first 25 minutes of the movie is so incredibly well done that it makes shaky-cam look like a masterpiece! And this film is a masterpiece!
