For the third assigned blog, I decided to watch Saving Private Ryan. The movie was all about a search for Private James Ryan so they could send him home to his mother. His 3 older brothers were in the war and were all KIA, making him the only brother left alive. Captain Miller was in charge of the whole search to find him and get him home safely. He had a group of about 8 people, including one man who was only there who could speak German and French. The group had many surprises along the way. There were incidents with German attacks and ended up losing 2 men before they found Ryan. When they found Ryan, he was shocked by the news. Ryan told Captain Miller that it wasn't fair for him to be able to leave and to leave everybody else. He also stated that he was going to stay where he was with his new brothers. The climax of the movie was when everybody created a plan to keep the German forces out of the area that they were in. It was a massive battle and ended up with many casualties. The movie ends with an older James Ryan in a veteran's cemetery who is visiting Captain Miller's grave, who was KIA in the battle.
I would give this movie an 8/10. It was very good, but also very realistic. The beginning was very gory with them trying to get onto the beach. Besides the excessive killing, it had a very good story line and it was later very enjoyable.

Good summary but brief review overall. I am guessing you copied and pasted pictures into your blog. This doesn't work usually. You have to use the picture icon.
