Saving Private Ryan

Saving Private Ryan is a great example of American pride and honor. The American soldiers fought for their lives. As they stormed Normandy, they fought to the last man standing. The beginning scene of D-Day is one that always strikes me with amazement. Thousands of American soldiers died that day before even reaching the dunes. Many didn’t even get off the boats. Nationalism was at its peak during WWII. There was one national identity and no one strayed away. Also, there was one common goal of ending the Nazis Regime. I think the brotherhood of the soldiers is a model for how we should be as a country especially with how recently we are becoming more divided. We lack our national identity and I think the best representation of our national identity is during a time of conflict, war. I think Saving Private Ryan is one of the top WWII films made. The acting and directing is on point. It does a great job of representing how extreme the conditions were such as major cities being turned upside down.
