Movie Review #1: Saving Private Ryan

Saving Private Ryan is an astounding war film based on WWII. Captain Miller (Played by Tom Hanks) is assigned to save a soldier, Private Ryan (Played by Matt Damon), and return him home to his family due to a loss of his brothers in the war.

This movie starts out with the invasion on Normandy beach also known as D-Day. Director, Steven Spielberg, does an amazing job on creating a reenactment of D-Day. With the sound, visual, and lighting effects, it was almost like you were there in battle. Tom Hanks does an awesome job on creating his character. It was easy to get the sense on how he was feeling, what he was thinking, even without him straight up telling the camera. Tom Hanks does another fantastic job on the big screen. Saving Private Ryan has a great balance of warfare and mellow scenes. There was not a scene were I thought it was dragging on too long or war scene where I thought "alright, this is enough". Every scene had an equal balance.

Not much was thought negatively about his movie. The only bad thing I can really think of is these little continuity mistakes. For example; There are a total of 8 men to start with but they end up losing 1. Later in the movie there is a wide shot of the squad and it shows a total of 8 men when there should be 7.

Saving Private Ryan is a MUST SEE! It left me tearing and proud to have the tough army the US has.
Movie Rating: 9/10 stars!
