Saving Private Ryan is a great movie, Steven Spielberg made it for his father Arnold. Whats your favorite part?
Probably the Omaha beach landing for how realistic it was. And then, of course, you can't forget the last part, where Miller (Tom Hanks) tells Ryan to "earn this".
The Omaha beach scene was the most horrific. Have you ever been to war?
Luckily, I have not. I imagine that the real Omaha beach landing was even more horrific than what was portrayed on-screen.
I'm sure it was. World War 2 was horrific, they had serial killers killing Jews while having to worry about the Nazis. If you like to read you should check out Death in the city of Light, it's about the serial killer that killed 150 people during World War 2.
Wow, that sounds awful. I'll be sure to check that book out. I wonder if they'll ever turn it into a film.
Im not sure, but I'm suprised that they haven't yet. Another good movie is Where Eagles Dare, its about World War 2 and it has Clint Eastwood in it. Do you like Clint Eastwood?
I do. I think he's a great actor. I'll definitely make some time to see that movie. I've never heard about it before.
What's your favorite part of Saving Private Ryan? I cried when Captain Miller (Tom Hanks) got shot, but he kept shooting and didn't give up.
Probably that part, or the part where an old Private Ryan breaks down at Miller's grave and asks his wife and family if he was a good person/whether he had "earned it".
Or the Niland brothers, when they told their mother see had lost 4 sons to the war but Ryan was still alive. I couldn't imagine what she went through.
