It's been a long time since I watched a movie and cried.
But it really touched me.
Who should die? Who should live? In front of the Jonny monument that saved him, the elderly Ryan said that he worked hard every day and made him feel that he did not live up to what his comrades had done for him. He told his wife "Tell me that I have not lived in vain in this life, tell me that I am a good person." He always remembered everything Jonny said and kept working hard to live.
Is it worth it to exchange their lives for Ryan's life?
Calculating with simple arithmetic, it doesn’t seem worthwhile to trade a few lives for one. But from the perspective of the country, it guarantees that it will treat every soldier kindly, like the people, so that more people will go to work hard for the country. Countries with heavy debts cannot "pay their debts" one by one. Lincoln's words are the theme of the movie. He said: "May God comfort your bereavement, so that you will always miss the beloved far away, and the sacred glory belongs to you, because You have paid a huge price for freedom."
Everything is for the people living on the land.
War is cruel. It turns out that war is cruelly killing people who are the same parents as you, occupying their land, and letting them bow their heads and surrender. No matter how legitimate the reason is, war is the most stupid behavior of mankind.
There are a lot of cruel scenes in the film. It seems that only the reality is getting more and more cruel, and the action to save the soldiers seems to be more and more great.
In addition, I like the French and German Corporal Earl who has never killed anyone before drawing a map.
Although he is weak and timid, he is afraid of war and death. He delayed the attack of his comrades because he did not deliver bullets immediately, and at the same time watched his comrades be killed by the German soldiers. He didn't take any action. Because he was an ordinary person, but in the end he shot a shot. Maybe he understood the cruelty of war.
Often the emotional ups and downs of such a small person and the final transformation make people feel shocked.
This is war, not a game of murder.
After all, Ryan returned to his homeland, stayed away from the war, and lived the life of an ordinary person.
Our current high-rise buildings are also built from the rubble of countless wars. Maybe we have been away from war for a long time, but who should die? Who should live? In different times, the historical damage suffered is also different.
Life is so good now, but who would think "Have I lived my life well?", "Am I a good person?"
