Saving Private Ryan

"Saving Private Ryan" is an academy award winning and heartfelt story about heroes coming together and achieving a common objective. First, the movie teaches us the effects of the loss of loved ones dying in combat. In the opening scene of the movie, there was thousands and thousands of tombstones that represent many of the people who died for their country in World War 2. These deaths effected people's lives in many different ways, but the one effect the movie highlighted was the one that described James Ryan as wanting to live his life to the fullest because of Captain Miller risking his life for him. Therefore, the movie teaches us the emotional effects of World War 2.

World War 2 is a more tactile and difficult war than WW1 because of battle strategies and the improvement of technology. This is shown and demonstrated in the movie "Saving Private Ryan" in many of the battle scenes. Instead of trench warfare there was much more use of tanks, airplanes, and special units to do different tasks. For example, the Americans sent paratroopers to Ramelle to secure the town and stop the Germans, while other troops were sent to places like Normandy to claim the land from the Germans. Tanks played a big role in getting over huge amounts of land and killing many soldiers along the way. Air planes as shown in "Saving Private Ryan" were huge assets to the army they played a big role into winning the war. The movie depicted the airplanes as the reason for victory at Ramelle showing that the improvement of technology led to better strategies and victories in WW2.

In conclusion, "Saving Private Ryan" teaches us about the emotional effects of WW2 and how the use of special units and technology was important in the war.
