This movie starts off pretty good with one of the largest battles in history. Many American soldiers died on the beach. The ones that survived were unfortunately put back into fighting with out any sort of break

This movie gave an excellent portrayal of World War II. It makes me think about what if this happened and I had been drafted into the war. The soldiers in the movie were all around my age bracket. Those were people my age fighting and dying for their country. If I was around for this war, I doubt I would have made it off the beach in the first scene.

I feel that Captain Miller made an excellent decision by staying with Ryan and the company defending the bridge. Not only did the company do their job of saving Private Ryan, but they also helped the entire American army win a strategic position that helped us take back France and eventually win the war.

One thing I did not like about the movie, but I am sure it did happen was the Private Opum. He had a chance to save the life of his friend and potentially three other men. Instead he sat on a stairway and cried like a little baby. This makes me upset because I do not think that I would sit there and cry while there were guns' going off all around me and my friend was being stabbed to death. I believe in that situation that I would have run up the stairs and shot the Nazi who was fighting with another American soldier.

The movie "Saving Private Ryan" also makes me respect what my grandfather and many other people's grandfathers had to do. They were enlisted while they were young men and sent off to a strange land. It is like leaving your family and everything you know to go away un
