Review of Saving Private Ryan (1998) by Bertboy93 — 28 Jun 2020

Saving Private Ryan is the best war movie ever made and one of the best in general in the movie history.

This movie is very realistic and shows how the war is very ugly and there's nothing heroic about it.It shows the sufferings of the characters and the way they deal with certain real situations.It is also perfectly shot and directed,as Spielberg did an incredible job here.Even the hand held camera work is believable and it takes it to a whole new level of realism.It truly gets ugly,with deaths all over the place and by the end you are very invested on some of the characters,especially the main one played by the awesome Tom Hanks,Captain Miller.This characters is so well developed and interesting that it makes you root for him all the way through,and that is a great thing.

The effects are really good and realistic,as everything else in the movie,and also the movie does change directions a couple of times,but each time is a smart change and an interesting one.

The actors do an amazing job here,besides Tom Hanks,there's also Tom Sizemore who impressed me so much,and I loved him on the role.Matt Damon is also very good,and so is every single one else.

This movie succeeds at every level and everything it was going for,it is a near perfect movie with realistic portrayal of the war and its ugliness.
