"Saving Private Ryan" Recommendation Index: ★★★★★

Summary: The classic World War II theme and the classic rescue plot are the main conflicts of the movie. The classic American theme movie is also a classic epic war film. It was released in 1998 and uses a basic reminiscence narrative to tell the rescue of the soldiers in World War II. En's story, although the film was shot in an early age and the narrative technique is unremarkable, the details of the movie are very close to the real history, the war scenes are realistic and shocking, and the storyline is also very touching, but it is inevitably bloody, and it is not recommended to accept it weakly. Of women watching.

The film adopts the old-fashioned reminiscence narrative technique. The beginning of the film starts with the stars and stripes flying in the sky and falls on the ground. A gray-haired old man staggers step by step towards the cemetery of the martyrs, from the time in his moist eyes. Back to June 6, 1944, the day the Allies landed in Normandy in France.

The Normandy Landing is one of the largest landing battles in the history of the world. At the beginning of the film is a 20-minute long, tragic and suffocating war scene. This is a very realistic and classic description of the war scenes in the history of the movie. The Normandy Landing participated in the war. There are so many people, how tragic the battle will be. The climax at the beginning of the chapter really makes people unable to calm down into the following plot after watching it for a long time.

For the plot, I don't do too much sorting out, and try my best to unearth some details.

Wade, a medical soldier, was also shot by a bullet when he was rescued during the landing and fighting. The water from his kettle was clear water first, and then red blood, which truly reflected the tragedy of the battlefield.

In this place, the two German soldiers who had surrendered were killed by American soldiers on the excuse of not understanding what he was talking about, so they rushed to collect the spoils from them, but in fact, the two soldiers were Czech and spoke the Czech language." Don't kill me, I am not German, I am Czech." During World War II, Germany occupied a large number of Eastern European countries, and many occupied Eastern European countries were forced to serve the German army.

Every time he went to a country, he used cans to collect the soil from that place, indicating that Sergeant Horvat had already participated in the three major battles of the North African Landing in 1942, the Italian Sicily Landing in 1943 and the French Normandy Landing in 1944.

When Urban was hurriedly packing his luggage, the helmet he took for the first time was a captured German helmet.

At the entrance of Ryan's mother's house, a photo of the four sons is placed on the lower right side of this camera. At the beginning of the film, when the American flag is in the cemetery, the French flag is behind the lens, so the flag placed in front of the photo should also be France where the four sons went to fight, not the Dutch flag, which is also upright in shape.

Flying in the sky here is the air-defense balloon that was widely used during World War I and World War II. This scene is very close to historical Normandy.

When Capazzo was dying, he took out his pre-written letter from his chest. Because he was soaked with blood, I hope his comrades can copy it and send it out. After Capazzo died, the health soldier Wade helped him copy it and take it with him. After Wade died in the second battle, Captain Miller took him with him. In the end Miller died, and Rebin took the letter with him. This letter runs through the film, who really killed who was responsible.

When Wade died, everyone sprinkled sulfa powder on his wound. This was the only time sulfa powder appeared in the film. Sulfa powder is a famous antibiotic during World War II. Every soldier’s first aid kit will be equipped with sulfa powder. However, when the wound area is large and bleeding is more frequent, the effect of spreading sulfa powder is negligible. It was the hemostatic forceps and gauze that first stopped the bleeding, and when the medical soldier Wade was injured, the soldiers who did not understand medical treatment had to follow the instructions in the combat manual to desperately use sulfa powder and inject morphine.

The director of this film, Steven Spielberg, is a Jew and the director of the famous film "Schindler's List" describing the genocide of Jews in World War II. In this film, the character Melissy is set as a Jewish-American soldier. When the opening of the film landed, when Capazzo handed him the Hitler Youth League knife, he joked that it was now a Jewish bread knife, and then wept bitterly.

When he saw a large number of German prisoners in the film, he stepped forward to show his six-pointed star sign and told them that I was a Jew and I was a Jew. The six-pointed star symbol is a well-known Jewish symbol. At the beginning and the end of the film, there are six-pointed star Jewish tombstones in the cemetery.

Elderly Ryan and his family happened to be eight people, the same number who saved Ryan's team at the time.

Urban's armband, the title is called the fifth-level technical officer, is basically a recruit, who has never shot anyone. The cowardly performance along the way also made the audience love and hate, full of controversy, but this is the true performance of people who have not experienced the baptism of war. In the end, Urban, who was hiding aside, saw with his own eyes the German prisoner of war who had persuaded Captain Miller to let go. He returned to the German army and shot and killed Captain Miller. Later, when Urban captured several German soldiers, the German prisoner of war attempted Called Urban's name, then Urban hesitated for a few seconds and then shot him to death. There was no fear on his face, only perseverance. Captain Miller was also a teacher of English composition before he became a soldier. At that time, people knew that he was a teacher by looking at him. But after he became a soldier, his previous profession became a secret. Everyone he killed All made him feel farther away from home. When he missed home, he would think of his wife wearing his old gloves to build a rosette. He was afraid that when he returned home, his wife would no longer know him. It was the war that changed Sven’s teacher. Becoming an excellent captain is also a war that transforms ordinary people like Urban into a killing machine, and war changes people just like that.

Captain Miller told Ryan to "earn this, earn it" before he died, and Ryan lived with these words for the rest of his life. He kept tears in front of the tombstone and made his wife tell him that he was a man. Good man, telling him that he has not lived in vain in his life. He will think of Captain Miller’s words every day. He tries his best to live his life to the best of his own people every day, hoping that these are enough to live up to the three soldiers who sacrificed to save him. .

It seems to be saying to us in the peaceful era, earn this, earn it.

As for Ryan, who changed his name to Jason Byrne after World War II to join the CIA and left a legacy, he later got rid of the enemy’s pursuit and became an astronaut to go to Mars to perform a mission and was saved again.

Perhaps Capazzo was also suspended for death. After leaving a letter from his family, he changed his name to Dominic and went to Los Angeles to go racing every day.

In the end, I would like to talk about the sniper played by Barry Pepper, a little brother I really like. He is handsome, and a little bit arrogant, thinking that God has given him precious talent to fight. If he is placed next to Hitler, the war will be over. Knowing that he was targeted by a tank before he died, he just wanted to let his teammates get down. Hide away, he likes to kiss the cross and recite vows religiously before shooting, which makes me feel like a very charming character.

Be not there far from me, Oh Lord.

Don't stay away from me, god

Oh my God, I trust in Thee.

My god i believe in you

Let me not be ashamed.Let not my enemies triumph over me.

Don't let me be ashamed, don't let my enemies defeat me

Blessed be the Lord my strength, which teaches my hands to war and my fingers to fight.

God gives me strength, teaches my hand to fight, teaches my finger to fight

My goodness and my fortress.My high tower and deliverer.My shield and he in whom I trust.

My God, my fortress, my tower and savior. My shield, my dependence.

    Challenge values ​​and outlook on life. Obedience and loyalty. Cowardice and greatness. Love and friendship in war.

    Regardless of whether the film is made well or not, one cannot agree with the preaching of the theme of "one life is more precious than eight lives".
