1) Provide a description of the film. Discuss the plot and characters and how they influenced the film. Was the plot line or character development more important? Why?
2) Think critically about how the film was shot, directed, use of lighting, etc. What do you think was effective in the making of the film? What took away or could have been done differently to enhance the film?
3) What is you overall opinion of the film? Would you recommend it? Why/why not?
1. This film was about a group of soldiers in WWII who are sent to go retrieve Private Ryan because the mother of Ryan has already lost her other sons in the war and she wants at least one son. The plot was more important to the film because the development of the plot was what the entire film was emphasized around.
2. The film was shot in several scenes that were destroyed or falling apart and it gave the movie an overall since of despair. Most of the movie is dark except for one scene where they go to bury a lost soldier and the sun is setting in the background. The film didn't necessarily have as many visually unattractive scenes, but it added to the sadness of the film.
3. The movie was very well made and it clearly created the feeling of sadness. The way the movie ended with one of the main characters dying also contributed to a mixed emotion at the end of both joy for private Ryan and sadness for Captain John H. Miller. I recommend this film if you are looking for a movie that gives a realistic take on World War II or just a good war movie in general.
