Saving Private Ryan

Saving Private Ryan

Just for starters, Go watch this movie now.

This is one of the most brilliant war movies i have ever seen. The best part about this movie is that the story doesn’t focus on the heroic aspect, but rather the truth about war.

The movie is about eight men searching for a soldier by the name of James Ryan (Matt Damon), who’s the last of four brothers still left alive. After the attack of D-Day most of the soldiers still suffer the war syndrome and seem very doubtful of finding one person in a whole war-zone. Back at home, Ryan’s mother gets a letter about three out of four of her sons dying in war, and begs the soldiers to find her last one.

Tom Hanks arguably leads the cast as Captain Miller who is like the elder brother of the band. This is one of his most restrained performances and he is great. But, his supporting cast members that include: Tom Sizemore, Edward Burns, Barry Pepper, Adam Goldberg and especially Giovanni Ribisi are at least equally excellent. Paul Giamatti makes a strong appearance. Even Vin Diesel, shows signs of a good actor as he impresses in a small role.

This movie won 5 Oscars and is definitely a must watch !!
