Saving Private Ryan, 1998

Entry
The movie is set during the Invasion of Normandy in World War II after June 6, 1944. The beginning of the movie depicts the landing of the 29th Infantry Division and Parts of the 2nd Ranger Battalion which landed on Omaha Beach.
Entry
The characters often appear in military clothing, casual clothing and several worn-out uniforms. The characters were wearing M1 helmets, shirt, undershirts, trousers (green in color), M1938 dismounted leggings, socks and long underwear.
Entry
The sets was that of a war-torn French village. There was a river running through the village, a bridge going over the river, blown-up houses. Most of the buildings were flat-front buildings, however some were actually built. There was graffiti placed on the buildings.
Entry
The overall atmosphere is gruesome and realistic creating the sense that you are actually in the war. The atmosphere of the Omaha beach was as realistic as it gets. The characters are all acting as if they were in war being shot at or killed, especially the character of Capitan Miller who is terrified, nervous, instructive, and determined to find Private Ryan. The characters fit into the setting well, looking sweaty with battle wounds, cuts, bullet penetrations, and even as far as organs protruding outside of the characters bodies. The elements combined contributed to my enjoyment by making the action realistic, as if I was actually in the war. The props, costumes, and characters made the movie interesting and an eye-opener for those who do not understand war and or the setting.

Imagine this: you are sending off screaming bullets while dodging them. All of a sudden, you hear a thump as one of your fellow soldiers fall to the ground beside you, you’ve heard the words “retreat” many times…

    The movie started with the battle at Antietam Creek Maryland in September 17, 1862. This was the first battle Shaw served as a Captain leading about a hundred men. He was pretty proud of himself and his men until they reached the battlefield. Shaw like the rest of his men was much to be unprepared for the battle. Right after the battle started, Shaw and most of his men were terrified by the gunfire, many were shot dead and rest retreated with terror.
