The reflection after watching the movie “Saving Private Ryan”

Robert Rodat, the producer of Saving Private Ryan, gaining inspiration after seeing the monuments set for the soldiers who died in American Civil War. Successfully directed by Steven Spielberg and exquisitely acted by a sequence of actors, Saving Private Ryan has already won a large amount of awards as well as being the highest-grossing domestic film of the year. It is not until recently that I watched this well-known movie seriously. Like all of the praise and the fame it earned, I was overwhelmed and touched after watching it. Not only spectacular performance that all the actors did, but this movie arouse the topic of ethics, morality, and fidelity which all of us should concern about.
The first 30 minutes of the movie is the scene about Normandy Invasion. The director frankly revealed how cruel, horrible, and unbearable the war is as well as the painful one soldier must face on battlefield. The plot also reminds me of Homer’s Iliad and Odyssey which the author elaborated the scene by the power of words. However, both of the producers created the truth of reality that wars brought about. Although the end of this movie implies the exultant victory in one country, it does not narrate in detail how long should one country be recovered and how long do people need to get rid of the trauma brought by the war in their deepest heart.
