This article will give you an introduction to the film, as well as a better than brief plot synopsis. So if you want to learn about this particular motion picture, this should certainly be the place to do just that.
When you see this movie, you would likely not be surprised to learn who was working behind the camera to make it look so good. This film is a masterful creation of Steven Spielberg, and this is arguably one of the best films that he has ever worked on. Considering his track record with visually stunning and passionate tales, that is quite a statement in itself.
In fact, it features one of the most graphic and impacting opening sequences that might have ever been documented up until that point concerning a war film. This is done through a soldier’s eye view of the storming of the beaches at Normandy. To put it mildly, this is does not give a skewed perception of this. For nearly thirty minutes, the audience has a front row seat to the hell of war, seeing what the actual soldiers likely saw on D-Day.
After this opening sequence, you are properly introduced to the main character of the piece, Captain John H. Miller. He is given a task to take himself and his company to locate a paratrooper named Private James Ryan. In war torn Europe, this is about as simple as finding a needle in a haystack, especially since the company that Ryan is with was severely scattered from one another in a failed drop.
Why are they trying to find Private Ryan? Well, his three brothers all serve in the military and have all recently been killed in action. So Ryan is given a pass to go home and be with his grieving family and prevent his mother from losing all four of her sons to World War II. Miller’s company is less than shy about telling him what they feel about looking for the Private, and if they think he deserves a free ticket home.
Through the course of the film, you share triumph and tragedy with the men of this company. You learn more about their lives before the war, and their plans for when it is all said and done. When they do reach Ryan, he is given the news and still refuses to leave his current company. They are responsible to secure an Allied bridge. If Ryan leaves, they may not be able to do this and Miller’s company aids them in making a heroic stand that is both a tragedy and a triumph rolled into one.
This is an accurate depiction of all of the emotions and feelings that are relative to being at war. You are crying when the men are crying, you are scared when they are, and you celebrate when they do. This is an instant classic that everyone should see if they get a chance to, if nothing else for the incredible performances by Matt Damon (Ryan), Tom Hanks (Miller) and Tom Sizemore (Sgt. Mike Horvath).
