Review of Saving Private Ryan

Saving Private Ryan
Written By David Russell
This is the story of four men who have to search for a private Ryan so he wont have to die like his two brothers did in battle. This is one of the most somber three hours I have ever spent in a theatre. It is like a technicolr Longest Day . Tom Hanks is wonderful as the comanding officer who has to find a needle in a haystack. The men Fight the enemy troops in order to save the private. Several men die in the process of looking for the private The story has a strange twist to it and it does end happily. The violence is as graphic as they say it is. The technicolor looks kind of washed out. I think that is what Mister Spielberg had in mind. It is by far the best movie ive seen this year. I think it will win for best picture
