There is never a winner in a war

I think what makes this movie a classic is that it portrays the instinctive fear of war and death. It exposes the cruelty of the war in a slash, rather than blindly extolling the merits, and every character is real and full of flesh and blood.
The war forced the soldiers to be brave. No one loved war, and all the soldiers who went to the battlefield were helpless. The captain said that he used to be a doctor, and everyone could tell at a glance, but now everyone is surprised. The war forced him to become a Jagged soldier. They're all fighting for reunion, but every time they kill a person, they get farther and farther from home.

Saving Private Ryan quotes

  • Private Jackson: I wouldn't venture out there fellas. This sniper's got talent.

  • Private Reiben: You know what that song reminds me of? It reminds me of Mrs. Rachel Troubowitz and what she said to me the day I left for basic.

    Mellish: What, don't touch me?

    Private Reiben: No, Mrs. Rachel Troubowitz was our super's wife. She comes into my mom's shop to try on a few things, all right? And she's easily like a uh, a 44 double E. These things are massive. And I've got her convinced that she's like a 42D, all right. So we're in the dressing room, she's trying to squeeze into this side cut, silk ribbonned, triple panel girdle with the uh, shelf-lift brassiere and it's beautiful because she's just pouring outta this thing, you know? It's beautiful. And she sees me and she can tell I got a hard on the size of the statue of liberty, all right? And she says to me, "Richard, calm down." And she says, "Now when you're over there, if you see anything that upsets you, if you're ever scared, I want you to close your eyes and think of these. You understand?" So I said, "Yes, ma'am."
