A film review: English

Saving private Ryan

"Saving Private Ryan" is a war and action movie directed by Steven Spielberg. It is a moving portrayal
of World War II's brutality and human sacrifice. Located in France, after the Normandy invasion, the
film follows Captain John Miller, played by Tom Hanks and his squad on a mission to find Private
James Ryan, who is portrayed by Matt Damon, and bring him home because he is the last surviving
brother among four servicemen who all died in the war.

The movie unfolds with intense and very realistic battle sequences, especially the accurate depiction
of the Omaha Beach landings. Through the journey to find Ryan, the film explores themes of
sacrifice, death, duty, and the human cost of war. Each character tries to deal with the chaos and
trauma of combat.

I found that Spielberg's direction and Janusz Kamiński's cinematography really immerse you in the
horrifying experience of war. The performances, particularly by Tom Hanks' portrayal of Captain
Miller, add depth to the story, making it incredibly emotionally gripping. The movie keeps you
constantly on your toes, stressing about when the next gun fight is going to happen. Even though I
really enjoyed the movie, some people may prefer a film with less violence, which is very
understanding because the movie sometimes overdoes it. There are a lot of brutal and very graphic
scenes, so it is not for the light-hearted people.

"Saving Private Ryan" truly is a masterpiece, offering realistic portrayal of World War II. The heavy
story, powerful performances, and raw themes leave a lasting impact, making it a must-watch. I
highly recommend it if you are looking for a movie with historical accuracy and emotional depth.
