I watched Saving Private Ryan. It was a really good movie.
It starts off with a man, whose name we don't know, goes to the Arlington National Cemetery to visit one of the men he fought with in WWII. Then it goes into a flashback to when Captain John Miller and his men are fighting at D-Day. He survives. Then in D-Day there were two brothers with the last name of Ryan that die
Captain Miller then has a new mission. Save the last Ryan brother so spare their mother from anymore pain. Miller and other troops then try to find Ryan, and it takes them a while to find him. The troops found a place where the Germans were shooting at people, and they find a German shooter that killed one of their troops. They were going to kill him, but he started talking English and says that he loves America and tries to sing the Star Spangled Banner. They then blindfolded him and told him to walk 1,000 paces forward and not come back. After that, Miller and his troops were in a grassy area and Private Ryan and another troop were in. A German vehicle drives through the grassy area they were in and then all of a sudden the vehicle blows up, and out pops Private Ryan and the other troop. Miller then asked Ryan if his name was Private James Ryan, and he says yes. They go back to camp and Miller tells Ryan that all three of his brothers had been killed, and he was to bring Ryan back home to his mom. Ryan refuses, and keeps fighting.
Towards the end of the movie, Ryan, Miller, and other troops are supposed to help keep the Germans from crossing a certain bridge because if the Germans take over it, then they will win the war. The US was successful, but in the end, the German shooter that they let go earlier in the movie shoots Captain Miller and kills him. Right before he died, Miller told Private Ryan, "James, earn this. Earn this," and then Miller died.
After that it goes back to Private Ryan when he is older and at the Arlington Cemetery and the tombstone that he's standing at says Captain John Miller. Ryan then asked him if he earned it. That's where the movie ended.
This movie was one of the greatest war movies I have ever seen. I actually started tearing up. It was such a sad movie. I will probably end up watching this movie again. It was 2 hours and 49 minutes long. It really makes you think about how lucky you are and not have to watch people get blown up and see them cut in half. Especially if they were you're friends.
