Humanity, truth;

From the beginning of the film, the biggest difference between this art form and music and literature is its authenticity. It can accurately "restore" the real world, giving people a sense of realism and closeness, just like being on the scene. In this film, Spielberg thoroughly analyzes the real human characteristics of the characters in the play.

Human nature is the main line of the film. Saving Private Ryan itself is a manifestation of human nature. Marshall did not want Mrs. Ryan to suffer the death of all four sons out of humanity, so he had this mission.

There are many comments on the thrilling war scenes. What I want to say is that the most real thing is the film's exposure of human weakness. I believe many people will grit their teeth for Urban's timidity, but the description of this character's character is the most intriguing. Indeed, because of Urban’s cowardice, three of his comrades died in battle, and more people died because he failed to deliver ammunition in time. We can’t even justify Urban’s not being a combat force. But this is human nature, this is war. War is not always the fearlessness and bravery of heroes. In war, there are also small people like Urban, and there are also timidity, but we wishful thinking to abandon those fears and infinitely magnify the brilliance of heroism. , But that is idealized, not real.

Ps: It's hard to imagine that such a classic that can be called a conquering epic film was defeated by the American beauty in the 98 Oscars.
