Saving Private Ryan
This movie was on Sunday night on TV. It starts out with a man recollecting on the war. It then goes to D-Day. Tom Hanks is a commanding officer of the Rangers and its their job to take some control of the beach. When the gate goes down a lot of people die in his regiment and there is a lot of blood and death. The squad makes it up on the beach and destroys the machine guns. They take control of the beach and build camps.
The next part explains how the 3 brothers die in battle and their mom is heartbroken. Word gets to the higher officers and they think they should do something about it. The officers devise a plan that involves a team of 8 people to go and rescue him in France. They know that in order to save the family name and his mom, they have to save Private Ryan.
The team sets off and actually sees a lot of fire- fighting and wins some key little battles. As they keep traveling they realize that their mission is almost pointless to them and there is a lot of fighting between them. They finally find Ryan went they blow up a tank and him and his team help out. When the team on the mission tries to bring him home, Ryan wants to stay and save the bridge they are defending. The team decides to stay and help defend the bridge with them.
In the end the bridge team and the 8 man team fight in order to save the bridge. They lose a lot of men and destroy a lot of tanks and other guns. Almost everyone dies and then the Allied airplanes come in and bomb the Germans which saves them. Private Ryan is saved, but Tom Hanks dies.
I really thought it was a good movie and showed a lot about the war. The battles were really cool and very strategic. There was a lot of blood and gore but it was mostly for effect. I really liked the movie and would recommend it to anyone.
