Even the "good war" to smash the undeniable Axis of Evil that was Germany and Japan.Įxpecting younger kids to sit through the horror at the beginning is too much, but the movie isn't all surface gore and sensation. Star director Steven Spielberg, who sought the input of war historians and survivors to make Saving Private Ryan as authentic as possible, tries to show the viewer, after decades of restrained and bloodless Hollywood-backlot war movies, propaganda flag-wavers, and fluffy WWII film musicals, that war is a terrible thing. The opening D-Day scene is not exploitation, but rather a master filmmaker's true-life recreation of one of the bloodiest battles in human history, to make one appreciate the bravery and the loss.

(Notes by Neil Sinyard. As the danger increases and where acts of humanity will get you killed, the mission’s incongruity (eight men’s lives being risked to save one?) triggers near-mutiny amongst the recruits and the search will culminate in another agonisingly prolonged battle as the trapped men fight for their lives against advancing German soldiers and tanks that grind relentlessly towards them like a nightmare without end. The central plot concerns a mission behind enemy lines, led by Captain Miller (Tom Hanks), to find Private Ryan (Matt Damon) whose three brothers have recently been killed in action and who is to be sent home as an act of compassion. This is warfare deglamourised, red in tooth and claw. Spielberg’s opening reconstruction of the storming of Omaha Beach by American soldiers on D-Day achieves a combat accuracy that makes the sequence almost unwatchable in its unrelieved slaughter.
