Saving Private Ryan Saving Private Ryan portrays the experiences of the mysterious captain John Miller and his army ranger Squad. The story accurately depicts what could have happened to a comparable unit mission shown had actually existed. No Saving Private Ryan character ever existed.

The mission shown is improbable because United States army sole survivor policy “is applicable only in peacetime.”

Saving Private Ryan (Spielberg, 1998), is a unique war movie that has changed the way this genre is depicted and filmed. The movie does not boast some heroic, Rambo like, soldier that attempts to stop the war and get the girl. It shows the soldiers sense of duty and sacrifices made for the country on such a tragic time. Spielberg’s film lacks “censorship” (Basinger, P. 7) when showing the brutality and casualties of war. He captures the mentality and the image of the common war hero. Spielberg’s
Saving Private Ryan Not many Americans are able to see or feel war the way it is: brutal and violent. Only 1.4 million Americans are enlisted in the armed forces. That’s merely 0.4 percent of the American population.
