In the world of movies, war films have always been an important area that can touch people's hearts. It not only shows the struggle for survival of human beings in extreme environments, but also reveals the complexity and multifaceted nature of human nature through the special background of war.
If it comes to choosing the best war film in the world, I don't think any movie dares to compare with "Saving Private Ryan". Even "Garland Under the Mountain" and "Rally" in domestic films, "Highland Battle" and "Flying the Taiji Flag" in Korean films, or "No War on the Western Front", "Bloody Hacksaw Ridge", "Father's Flag", "Letter from Iwo Jima" and other films, all have to be sidelined. "Saving Private Ryan" has become an indelible classic in film history with its thrilling war scenes, profound human nature discussions, and gripping storyline.
"Saving Private Ryan" is a war film directed by the famous Hollywood director Steven Spielberg and starring Tom Hanks, the film is based on the Normandy landings during World War II, telling the story of a group of American soldiers in order to save a soldier trapped behind enemy lines to carry out a life and death rescue. From the first act of the film, the audience is transported into the brutal scene of war. The scene of the Normandy landings is not only shocking, but also shows the cruelty of war to the fullest. Every shot, every picture, makes people feel the fear and cruelty of war.
The beginning of the story is set against the backdrop of the shocking Normandy landings, presenting the cruelty of war and the helplessness of soldiers through the perspective of the protagonist, Captain Miller. Captain Miller was a brave and kind soldier whose troops suffered heavy losses in the Normandy landings, but he himself survived his bravery. As the war progressed, Captain Miller was given the special task of leading an eight-man squad behind enemy lines to find and bring back a soldier named James Ryan. James's three brothers died in the war, and in order to keep the family from suffering another blow, the military decided to send him home safely.
However, behind this seemingly simple and humane task, lies the deep tragedy of war. In order to save a soldier, they must face enemy encirclement, and with each step forward, someone may die. When they finally found James Ryan, they found that he was not willing to leave his comrades and give up fighting. In the process, Captain Miller's squad suffered heavy losses, and the soldiers constantly faced the test of life and death, and in this friction on the edge of life and death, it also showed the cruel destruction of human nature and the test of courage, friendship and responsibility of war.
And the realism of the film comes not only from its shocking war scenes, but also from the portrayal of human nature. In the smoke of war, human nature becomes extremely fragile and complex. In the face of life and death, everyone may show a different face. For example, Corporal Albertm, the translator in the film, whose cowardice, fear, and eventual growth make him one of the most complex and moving characters in the film. His exploration of human nature has also become an important theme in the film.
Another thought-provoking theme in the film is the discussion of the value and meaning of war. Through the life-and-death rescue of eight soldiers to save a trapped soldier, the film raises a thought-provoking question: What are we pursuing in war? Is it to protect more lives, or to fulfill the so-called mission? There is no standard answer to this question, but it is thought-provoking. Through such thematic discussions, the film not only shows the cruelty of war, but also makes people think more about war and human nature.
"Saving Private Ryan" is a touching war film, which makes people think more about war and human nature through shocking war scenes and profound human nature analysis. At the same time, it is also a film worth watching and thinking about repeatedly, and it is a milestone in the field of war films.
