THE MOVIE \u2014 5.0\/5<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n
\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n

Plot Synopsis: <\/strong>Seen through the eyes of a squad of American soldiers, the story begins with World War II\u2019s historic D-Day invasion, then moves beyond the beach as the men embark on a dangerous special mission. Captain John Miller (TOM HANKS) must take his men \u2014 Sergeant Horvath (TOM SIZEMORE), Private Reiben (EDWARD BURNS), Private Jackson (BARRY PEPPER), Private Mellish (ADAM GOLDBERG), Private Caparzo (VIN DIESEL) and T-4 Medic Wade (GIOVANNI RIBISI) \u2014 behind enemy lines to find Private James Ryan (MATT DAMON), whose three brothers have been killed in combat.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Faced with impossible odds, the men question their orders. Why are eight men risking their lives to save just one? Surrounded by the brutal realities of war, each man searches for his own answer \u2013 and the strength to triumph over an uncertain future with honor, decency, and respect.<\/p>\n

Review: <\/strong>Fuck Shakespeare in Love<\/em>. Sure, not very tactful or professional, but that\u2019s how I feel now having seen Saving Private Ryan<\/em><\/strong> only my second time and it still is an incredible, and heartbreaking, experience. Steven Spielberg does a tremendous job showing the horrors of war, honoring the heroes while also not glorifying war.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s particularly amazing, this probably isn\u2019t even Steven Spielberg\u2019s best film, not even his best film set during World War II, that goes to the emotionally battering Schindler\u2019s List<\/em>. But even so, Saving Private Ryan<\/em><\/strong> was just an incredible journey from the intense opening sequence set during the D-Day Omaha Beach in which allied troops were slaughtered and was probably a miracle in conjunction with tough grit that they were eventually able to take the beach, one prong towards the costly victory in the war. The way the scene was shot was itself fantastic, utilizing the shaky-cam style without going so overboard where it was too confusing to see what was going on or feeling nauseous while still conveying the chaos and brutality of the situation.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Going beyond Spielberg\u2019s filmmaking, the performances were excellent, no more evident than Tom Hanks, no surprise there and probably should\u2019ve gotten the Academy Award over Roberto Benigni though I doubt Hanks would\u2019ve climbed on chairs making his way to the stage… The supporting cast also does well opposite Hanks with Tom Sizemore reminding you what a hell of an actor he used to be (not only here, but Heat<\/em> was well) and Edward Burns gets his moments in the spotlight.<\/p>\n

In the end, Saving Private Ryan<\/em><\/strong> is perhaps one of my favorite films about World War II or maybe even one of my favorite war films period. It\u2019s an emotional experience from beginning to end and still astounds me it failed to take home the Best Picture prize (though Spielberg did win for Director at least).<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
