For my second movie, I watched Saving Private Ryan. I honestly did not enjoy it.
Summary:
The movie starts out with an old man looking at a grave with tears in his eyes. We later find out this man is Private Ryan. Then it flashes back to D- Day. It was very graphic and loud and just horrible to watch. You could see people with lost limbs, men dying and crying. the water was red with blood.
It is discovered that 3 of four brothers died fighting, and their mother gets to find out about all three deaths on the same day. She has one son left though, Private James Francis Ryan. Men search all over looking for private Ryan. At one point they finally think they've found him, but it turns out there's another James Francis Ryan. The dog tags of dead men are looked through, but James' isn't in with the pile. He is still alive.
At the end they finally find him, but he refuses to go home. He wants to stay and keep fighting.
I did not like this movie very much. It was too loud and graphic for me and did not make much sense, there wasn't really a story line to it. But watching the D-Day scene gave me a whole lot more respect for our veterans, so I guess that made it worth watching.
Comments
A bit brief overall. I understand your reasons for not liking the movie.
