Saving Private Ryan, Saving Ourselves

Saving Private Ryan, is it worth?

1. In order not to be overly saddened by the mother who has lost 3 sons on the battlefield, and to appease a broken family in the name of the country and the people, Captain John Miller led 8 soldiers to find Ryan. This special action has to make people admire the American people's emphasis on humanity. But at the same time, we can’t help but ask—is it worth? As Miller said, soldiers sacrificed before, we can comfort ourselves, but one sacrificed for 10, 20, 100 lives, it’s worth ! But now, for a Private Ryan, is it worth sending 9 people to risk their lives to save one person? So someone said <>It tells exactly what happens when the rights and interests of the minority and the public conflict. She is small and Gu Da? Or give up the big and take care of the small? The palms of the hands and the backs of the hands are full of flesh, and they are reluctant to part with them. A person's rights are rights, so aren't everyone's rights not rights? Everyone's right is a right, isn't a person's right not a right? Since he entered the battlefield according to the draft requirements, life and death should have been put aside. Everyone has the same obligations and rights, and life and death are already out of their control, so I tend not to save Ryan. If it is to take care of the family, it should be like in ancient China, no old women and children, and at least one young and middle-aged man in the family, so that there will be no Saving Private Ryan situation. What should be done when individual interests conflict with collective interests? The different attitudes of China and the West reflect their different values, ways of thinking and principles of doing things. I am more inclined to take care of the interests of the majority so that more people can benefit.

2. The Interpreter, who knew German and French, was so cowardly to see his comrade killed by the enemy. If he did this because he was too kind and cherished life, including the enemy's, so we have to forgive him, then he watched his companion be killed by the enemy without doing anything, does that also mean that he does not value his companion's life? ? Since one of the two must die, and it is a brutal battle of life and death, do you still need to think about who you want to help and keep whose life? The kindness at this time is not kindness, but cowardice. Because the war is too cruel, many concepts have lost their original meaning in the war. What we should do is to protect ourselves and fight the enemy, otherwise we will die in the end!

3. Ironically, the Interpreter was full of pity on the German prisoner of war, and pushed hard for the prisoner's release, but the prisoner ended up killing Miller. Miller initially agreed to let the prisoners of war go, but didn't he plant a calamity and become his own executioner instead? Everyone's life is precious, but in such a situation, the possibility of the German soldier who was released from escaping the battlefield is extremely small, and if he is released, he will certainly not find the enemy on the anti-fascist front to surrender, On the contrary, he will definitely do whatever it takes to find his own organization, and the result is to continue to fight and kill more enemy troops. To let him go would undoubtedly put his fellow man in danger, and it would be unwise. You talk to him about humanity and respect his life. In turn, will he talk about humanity to you and respect the lives of you and your comrades-in-arms? impossible! Therefore, the controllable prisoners of war can not be killed. Such uncontrollable prisoners of war must not be let go, otherwise 99% of them will bite you back, because he also wants to survive in the war, and he also hopes that he can win, people. It's normal. . The cowardly Interpreter finally killed the German soldier, and the German soldier was the only one he killed, which really symbolized a kind of self-salvation. Interpreter has a more profound understanding of the cruelty of war. He has matured in the war for all to see. At the same time, he also has a more profound understanding of the cruel reality of war. In the face of war, what we need is different courage and strong belief than usual. We must fight for victory, justice, and freedom.

4. People are different after all. Some people seem to be born with fighting genes. They only know how to kill without the slightest sympathy, while others are just the opposite. Most people are in the middle and have to kill, but they still have the heart merciful. Although we have to kill the enemy, I think we should not lose our basic humanity, and we should have some compassion. We are not war machines, killing machines. With humanity, there is hope for mankind.

Of course, we are against wars, we are longing for peace!

    A true big-picture blockbuster, the opening of the beach and the ending of Remel’s bloody fighter position control and mastering skills, the powerful main and secondary close-ups are like a surviving World War II veteran spitting and reminiscing about the military horse. Remel’s broken bridge, behind Captain Miller is the endless setting sun, before him is the end of this somewhat ridiculous task, and before him is also James Ryan’s tomorrow.

    This may be a cultural difference, if it wasn't for Ryan's choice in the end, it sublimated the film, in fact. . .

Saving Private Ryan quotes

  • Captain Miller: Well when I think of home, I... I think of something specific. I think of my, my hammock in the backyard or my wife pruning the rosebushes in a pair of my old work gloves.

    Private Ryan: This, this one night, two of my brothers came and woke me up in the middle of the night. And they said they had a surprise for me. So they took me to the barn up in the loft and there was my oldest brother, Dan, with Alice, Alice Jardine. I mean, picture a girl who just took a nosedive from the ugly tree and hit every branch coming down. And... and Dan's got his shirt off and he's working on this bra and he's tryin to get it off and all of a sudden Shawn just screams out, "Danny you're a young man, don't do it!" And so Alice Jardine hears this and she screams and she jumps up and she tries to get running out of the barn but she's still got this shirt over her head. She goes running right into the wall and knocks herself out. So now Danny's just so mad at us. He, he starts coming after us, but... but at the same time Alice is over there unconscious. He's gotta wa... , wake her up. So he grabs her by a leg and he's drag, dragging her. At the same time he picks up a shovel. And he's going after Shawn, and Shawn's saying, "What are you trying to hit me for? I just did you a favor!" And so this makes Dan more angry. He tries to swing this thing, he looses the shovel, goes outta his grasp and hits a kerosene lantern; the thing explodes, the whole barn almost goes up because of this thing. That was it. That was the last, that was, Dan went off to basic the next day. That was the last night the four of us were together. That was two years ago. Tell me about your wife and those rosebushes?

    Captain Miller: No, no that one I save just for me.

  • Captain Miller: It's like finding a needle in a stack of needles.
