I choose to watch Saving Private Ryan. This movie opens with the Invasion of Normandy. During the invasion 2 brothers are killed and a third is killed in New Guinea. George C. Marshall, the Army Chief of Staff finds out that the mother of these brother is set to receive all three of the telegrams on the same day. George C. Marshall then finds out that there is another brother, Private James Ryan, who is a paratrooper that was dropped somewhere behind enemy lines. This movies follows the 2nd Rangers led by Captain Miller from the beaches of Normandy to Nazi occupied territory find Private Ryan and bring him home. When they find Private Ryan they find out that him and a few of his troop are supposed to guard a bridge. Private Ryan is reluctant to leave his fellow soldiers to guard this bridge without him. The 2nd Rangers stay to help them and to make sure that Private Ryan stays alive. Private Ryan lives through this battle, but most of the other soldiers including Captain Miller die.
Not only is this time period hard for many families but I can't imagine how hard it was for the soldiers. Most of the soldiers that this movie follows are young and have never been away from home before. They go through basic training and are thrown into one of the most bloodiest wars is world has ever seen. This movie does a great job showing the battles but it also does a great job shows the loss that many families had to endure. I give this movie a 10.
