I have finally decided to review my favorite movie, Saving Private Ryan. This movie was release in 1998 and received five Academy Awards including Best Director for Steven Spielberg.

Considered to be one of the greatest yet horrific wars of the 20th Century, World War II was a huge conflict between the Allies that consisted of many countries led by the U.S., Great Britain, and Russia and on the other side were the Axis led by Germany, Japan, and Italy. From 1939 to 1945, it was a war that costed millions of lives and helped change the outcome of world power as the Allies defeated the Axis. Since then, stories about WWII emerged from books to movies were popular ones like The Dirty Dozen and Samuel Fuller's The Big Red One revealed the chaos that is war. In 1998, two films.

Part One: The Movie If 1993's Schindler's List was Spielberg's soul-searching and ultimately redemptive examination of why we fought the war (the movie graphically shows the Third Reich's true nature as an evil regime), then 1998's Saving Private Ryan is the emotional bookend that depicts the sacrifices made by citizen-soldiers who put their lives on hold -- and often lost them -- to save the world from becoming a charnel house ruled by Adolf Hitler and his Axis partners. It is a powerful if viscerally graphic film that has, in retrospect, reawakened our nation's interest in World War II and..

War is hell and nowhere is that more apparent than the battle sequence Steven Spielberg uses to open "Saving Private Ryan." The much-lauded 20 minutes are brilliant and harrowing as we watch the terrified Allied soldiers push their way up Omaha Beach past a hail of German machine-gun fire.

There have been good war movies ("Wake Island," "The Bridge Over the River Kwai," "Platoon") and there have been great war movies ("Full Metal Jacket," "All Quiet on the Western Front," "Gallipoli"),...
