About the movie:
This action movie could be also categorized in several genres such as war epic and war drama. The movie was released in 1998 and directed by one of the Most Accomplished Director, Steven Spielberg. The film's main casts are Tom Hanks (as Capt. John Miller), Matt Damon (as Private First Class John Francis Ryan), Tom Sizemore (as Tech. Sgt. Michael Horvath), Edward Burns (as PFC Richard Reiben), Jeremy Davies (Timothy Upham), Vin Diesel (PFC Adrian Caparzo), Adam Goldberg (Private Stanley Mellish), Barry Pepper (Private Daniel Jackson) and Giovanni Ribisi (as Irwin Wade).Saving Private Ryan's central story is about finding the lost paratrooper in a war held at the Omaha Beach (the codename used for principal landing points in Normandy, France that was invaded by the Allied forces during the World War II ) whose brothers were all killed in separate war actions (the two in Omaha Beach and one in New Guinea). The search for Private Ryan is a rescue mission ordered by a veteran Captain Commander John H. Miller of the 2nd Ranger Battalion to return Ryan immediately to his downhearted mother.
The first 30 minutes of this action movie is astonishing as it reveals a graphic view of an extreme war - noise of tanks, aircrafts, canon fire, bombs, machine guns, bullets, soldiers, corpses, mud and blood. It's a great opening sequence with a realistic and well-executed combat scenes.
The movie portrays the sacrificial service of the brave soldiers risking their lives to save and defend one another, and the survival depends on doing the very best that they could do - better than taking chances...
