For this weeks assigned blog I watched Saving Private Ryan.
The movie begins with the invasion of Normandy where two brothers out of 4 are killed in action. The third brother is killed in New Guinea while fighting. The mother of the three men receives the news of all three sons deaths on the same day. The Army chief of staff, in an attempt to relieve some of the mothers grief, sends men on a mission to find the fourth brother who is still alive overseas and bring him home. At the beginning of the mission the men do not even know if the final remaining Ryan brother is alive or dead behind enemy lines. As they start to search for him they find themselves in Nazi occupied territory, and after losing men they wonder if the mission is even worth it.
As the search goes on, the men are informed that private Ryan can be found guarding a bridge. When they reach the bridge, they find Ryan but he is reluctant to leave because he has a mission to fulfill. The men sent to rescue Ryan find themselves wrapped up in a battle against Germans in an effort to defend the bridge that Ryan was ordered to defend. When the battle is over, only three men remain one of them being Ryan.
He goes back home and you can infer that he lived a happy life. The movie ends with Ryan vistiting his brothers graves at the Normandy Cemetary. I really enjoyed watching this movie even though I have seen it before. I understood so much more this time around after having learned the history behind it!
