(^^Movie Cover^^)At the beginning of the movie you see a senior citizen among a number of tombstones. By the end of the movie you figure out that the man is Private James Ryan of (OMG) Iowa! And then BAM flashback! It takes us back to the moment when Captain Miller and his squad are assigned to save Private Ryan and bring him home because his mother has already faced the death of her 3 beloved suns. So they assured her they would bring James Ryan back to her alive.
So they find "Private Ryan" and I was like, " What? How is that possible? The movie cant be over already there's still an hour and a half left! Is tthere an hour and a half's worth of credit's or something!!! After my rant was over I, along with the members of the squad realized that the man they found in fact was not Private James Ryan.
So after questioning random people, they discovered a possible location. They were told to look at a site called Ramelle. So off to Ramelle. Yay we've got a trace! One step closer to finding Ryan right? and then BAM! Machine Gun post. ****!. During the firefight one of their men dies, and the one machine gun guy who survived was forced to dig his grave. Then they blindfolded him and long-story short they let him go. Which Miller's team was mad at him about. So then Miller when on about his wife, and his story, and how he feels farther away from home if he kills somebody.
FINALLY Miller quits crying( J.K ) and they make it to Ramelle. So they find Ryan in Ramelle and tell him they're taking him home and he excitedly thanks them and says, I mean, he says no. Why? He feels he hasnt done his duty and also doesn't want to leave the only "brothers" he has left a.k.a his fellow soldiers.
So Ryan and his buddy's have been assigned to protect this bridge. They have intel that a number of German tanks will be approaching them. So Miller leads in devising a plan to defeat the Germans. A plan which he didn't realize involved him dying. Before Miller dies he tell Ryan to earn it, which I think means to earn the feeling of fulfillment that he wanted which is why he wouldn't go with them in the first place. And then................................ You guessed it, BAM! flashback to the graveyard to see the man whom we now know is Private Ryan talking to Miller's gravestone. This movie was great, yet quite gory, but I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it.
