Saving Private Ryan Movie Critique

moment. At the end of the movie they finally find Private Ryan. Surprisingly he decided not to leave his post(protect a key bridge) and fight until reinforcement comes. The captain than decides to stay and help them fight until help comes. They prepare for the German attack and await them. Once the Germans do come, a big battle brakes out and the fight starts. After a fierce fighting only two out of eight rangers and private Ryan survive, the captain dies. The reinforcements came at the last minute and the bridge was saved, but left Ryan with horrible memories of war.      There were many conflicts in the movie and it’s very hard to find the main one. One of the conflicts could be man vs. himself (soldiers vs. feelings about the mission). None of the soldiers saw soldier saw real importance of the mission. It seemed too dangerous to put eight of their lives for one of private Ryan’s. The conflict wasn’t really resolved because they felt the same way about it until the end. There was also no winner in the conflict or lose. Even the captain showed no importance in the mission but his loyalty for the assignment was stronger. If I was put in the same spot I would feel exactly the same way. Even though his mother lost three of her sons already, how would my mother feel if she lost her only son.      Once again this movie has a lot of messages for the viewers. The strongest message would probably be how devastating and brutal World War 2 was or any war is. this is a very strong message. The viewers are shown the extreme of war brutality. There hasn’t been a movie like that in a long time. Its description is greatest ever. "thirty five dead, time two wounded" these were casualties for just one mission to take a beach. This was only for one regiment. It shows how brutal and deadly it was. After seeing that, one should learn that war and violence is totally unnecessary. After all that there was no winner or loser of World War 2, but only the death of young men.      Acting in Saving Private Ryan was unbelievable. The actors such as Tom Hanks and Tom Sizemore gave their best and it’s probably best ever. The acting made you feel as if you were there. it brought out the emotions out in an ordinary person as me. even the extras performed an excellent acting that moved the viewers. The actors showed the pain, the anger their emotions as if it was real. Tom Hanks showed pain so real that one could feel it. Watching them going through the hardships shook a tear out in the most feeling less people.      The extras such as setting, costumes and make up were also excellent. the whole movie looked like it was filmed during world War 2. The costumes and make up made the movie go to the next level regarding the war.
