For this blog post I watched the movie "Saving Private Ryan". This war movie directed by Steven Spielberg was set during the invasion of Normandy in World War ll. It shows what happened on Omaha Beach. Not leaving anything out such as a lot of the graphic things that went on that day. Four brothers all went on to serve for the United States. Private Ryan is the last one of those four alive. His family, mom especially, wants him to come home since she is the only son she has left. Captain Miller who is played by Tom Hanks and his team are put on a mission to find Private Ryan. They lose a lot of men and have epic fights along the way. When they find him they tell him to leave. He refused and wanted to continue to fight with pride. Their squad of men are attacked while defending a bridge. Captain Miller was shot and it looked as if it was all over until a fighter plane came over and bombed most of the Germans. James Ryan was with Miller as he said his last words. Private Ryan would go on to live and visit Captain Miller's grave.
I thought it was a very entertaining and inspiring movie. It also shows a lot of truth and accuracy of what went on during World War ll. It shows how men can gain respect and that a lot of soldiers did whatever they could to help the people back in the United States. I would definitely watch it again. I liked it so much.
This is Captain Miller shooting at a tank moments before he died.
