Saving Private Ryan
The movie started with the invasion Normandy and preparing for Omaha Beach. Their captain was Miller who led them to fight ashore. During the fighting two brothers were killed and a third was killed earlier in New Guinea. Thier mother is getting all three grave telegrams on the same day. The United States Army Chief decides to put together a team to help find the last brother who is still possibly living and bring him home to his mother.
The team of 8 searches for private ryan. At one point in the movie they think they have found him but then figure out he's not the right guy. The Ryan they found did have brothers but they were in school and weren't involved in the war. The worst thing about trying to find Ryan is that they don't know if he is dead or alive. In the team of eight one of them consists of a man who can speak fluent french.
After searching and searching for Ryan they find out he should be in Ramelle. On the way to Ramelle they pass by a German machine gun position that was by a abandoned radar station. After this invasion they have one man that gets injured. When they go up to the buildings to make sure they got everyone there is one man still there. The man begs for them not to kill him and Miller lets him go. He blind folds him and tells him to walk. Because Miller does this it upsets some of the members of their squad. To settle everyone down Miller talks about his past and how he used to be an english teacher. He says he hopes that his wife still recognizes him because he has changed so much.
Finally the squad gets to Ramelle. They tell Ryan about his brothers deaths and that their mission is to bring him home. He is upset about the loss of his brothers and says it is not fair for him to go home. He says that any other man fighting in the war has also been through hard times like he is going through. Ryan's squad is supposed to protect the bridge because there are only 2 that haven't been blowen up. There is a German mechanized unit that would be coming through Ramelle anytime and Millers squad and Ryans squad set up a big plan to defeat them.
While defending the bridge Miller is shot and injured badly. Ryan, Reiben, and Upham are the only surviviors. Ryan is by Miller's side while he dies and Miller says "James earn this. Earn it!" At the end of the movie they go back to the present and show Ryan at at Miller's grave and says i hope i earned it and showed you right.
I really liked this movie. It was pretty bloody and stuff but still a good movie. I liked how at the end all the people from Miller's squad realized that Ryan was worth everything they went through to save him and bring him home. I thought it was sad that Miller didn't get to see his wife in the end or anything. Still thought it was a very good movie!
