Saving Private Ryan
After seeing Steven Spielberg's movie, "Saving Private Ryan," there's only one thing I have said to myself, that this is definitely a "must see" movie for all. From the beginning to the end, I have seen no movie that could compare to the elements that "Saving Private Ryan" had presented to its viewers. Each sequence delivered has been as graphic as a real war could show. The fact that the footages of the film's first 25 minutes are too painful and brutal for viewers to endure watching, there's no doubt that "Saving Private Ryan" had established and arouse the senses of its audience in completely feeling the pains of war. The intensity of the emotionally wrenching experience "Saving Private Ryan" brought accounted for the film's success and applause from its audience, one factor that lead to my enthusiasm of nominating this film.

Saving Private Ryan" and "Casualties of War" -- a Contrast of Two Wars In our nation's history, there are no two more different wars than World War II and Vietnam. Our memories of World War II seem to be full of heroes, and the enemy was clearly evil. Heroes acted honorably and vanquished the enemy. It was easy to determine who won and lost a battle -- and the war.
Leadership Styles -- Saving Private Ryan There are many films, plays, and even books that clearly illustrate effective leadership styles. Examples of films that reflect various leadership theories include, but they are not limited to, Saving Private Ryan, Platoon, and The Thin Red Line. In this text, I focus on Saving Pirate Ryan. In so doing, I will highlight some of the leadership theories, traits, as well as qualities that
American History Through Film It is often agreed upon that there are different categories of history: the history that happened, the history created by historians and the history that people believe. Since the early 1920s, the American film industry has attempted to recreate history using films and television programs that aim to pass specific messages to viewers. War is often a fascinating subject for most filmmakers as it gives them an
Film Technique of 'Saving Private Ryan' Saving Private Ryan by Steven Spielberg opens with a sequence that, to some degree, complies with "war drama" conventions. But the movie also possesses innovative elements, challenging the characteristic heroic notion of war. The director employs micro techniques like handheld camera use as well as other techniques that correspond to the documentary genre (e.g., on-location filming) for creating an intense feeling (realistic), making the war
This section has incredible sound editing with the camera bobbing up and down out of the water and the sound going from muffled to vibrant. Spielberg then gets to the beach and goes back and forth between individual shots of one or two men, and then wider shots of the full scope of the battle. This gives the view the sense of the personal and the large-scale event. Hanks'
