Saving Private Ryan
Saving Private Ryan is a strong emotional film packed with shock disappointment and a lot of realism. The film completely destroys the traditional war film genre. War films are, conventionally, made with complete victory for the allies and complete destruction of the enemies. On the other hand, this movie shows the entire struggle in between this is a realistic plot as most soldiers struggled and put up a fight and it was just by sheer luck that our allies prevailed. Steven Spielberg directed this film fantastically, which starred actors such as, Tom Hanks and Matt Damon.
Natural desaturatoin of colour is used a consistently in this movie. This is especially effective as the only colour shown directly is red, blood flowing into the sea, blood dripping off their faces, guts being spilt from abdomens and brains being shot out. All of this creates some of the best effects in the movie as it shows you the brutality; this helps the audience understand the actual immortality of the allies. This all helps illustrate the authenticity of the movie as the battle scenes were to realistic for past war veterans. Steven Spielberg said "the last thing I wanted to do in this picture was use the war simply as a springboard for action-adventure. I was looking for realism all the time." When this movie was being filmed he used a method of sending several people out there with handheld cameras to that we could see out of the eyes of the soldiers. This is effective as it makes sense the felling of fear within running for cover and taking charge. This was a technique very similar to a newsreel.
