Friday I watched the movie Saving Private Ryan with Tom Hanks, Matt Damon, and Vin Deisel. It started out with the D-Day invasion when the U.S. was invading Omaha Beach of Normandy because Germany had taken over France. There was a lot of people getting shot when they were running in off the boats but eventually they got control of it and there was a scene where the U.S. torched a room with a flame thrower and burned the Nazis.
Then Tom Hanks the captain got orders to find Private Ryan with his squad and let Ryan know that all his brothers are dead and tell that they were there to escort him back and he could go home. When they were on there way they couldn't exactly find him. Until a soldier they met who couldn't hear because a grenade went off by his ear knew where he was. The captains squad lost two men on there search for Private Ryan and they found the wrong guy thinking he was Ryan also. Although his name was Ryan but not the Ryan from Iowa.
Towards the end they finally find him and let him know that his brothers are dead. He then responded that he was not going home because he got orders to protect the bridge and not let the Germans cross it. Captain Miller didn't know what to do so he asked Seargent Mike Horvath and he said, "I don't know. Part of me thinks the kids right. Whats he done to deserve this? He wants to stay here, fine. Lets leave him and go home. But another part of me thinks, what if we stay, and by some miracle we actually make it out of here alive? Someday we might look back on this and decide that saving Private Ryan was the one decent thing we were able to pull out of this whole godawful, Sh**y mess. So Together then both squads team up together and protect the bridge. To do this they made sticky bombs and had men up high on a building to watch when they come with a sniper. The Germans come with several tanks and men and they fought and lost men but managed to pull it off.
Then backup soldiers came with planes and men and cleared the area finishing off the other Germans. Sadly at the end Tom Hanks the captain dies, but tells Ryan, "Earn this...earn it," and then at the end Ryan is an old man visiting Captain John Miller's grave and said, "I hope I did you proud and lived my life to the fullest."
Personal thoughts: I thought it was a fantastic movie! Really long, but good! Those of you who watched it before on the first blog assignment you were correct. I loved it. I give it a 5 star rating.
