				Dad's Full (Spoiler) Review 
				and Deep Dive of Saving Private 
				Ryan  
				"The boy's alive, and 
				we are going to send somebody to find him, and we are going to 
				get him 
				the hell out of there." - Gen. George C. Marshall 
				Why watch this? This 
				film honestly illustrates what many infantry soldiers went through during WWII. 
				Plot Summary: 
				A squad of US soldiers during World War II, led by Captain John 
				Miller, survive the D-Day invation. They get a new assignment to 
				venture behind enemy lines in German-occupied France to locate 
				Private James Ryan and bring him home safely. This extraordinary 
				assignment is sparked by the tragic news that Ryan's three 
				brothers have already been killed in action, and the government 
				hopes to spare his family from further loss. As the soldiers 
				confront the brutal realities of war, the film explores the 
				moral dilemmas of risking many lives to save one man. Dad's Preview: 
				If you watch only one segment of film from all of Dad's lists, 
				it has to the first thirty minutes of this movie. It is hard to 
				watch, but it should be a requirement of everyone daring to call 
				themselves "American". This amazing war epic focuses on a 
				mission to find one man in France after the invasion of 
				Normandy. But the story behind the story is that war can be 
				confusing, bloody and costly in human lives. Here nothing is held back 
				- Director Spielberg did his best to 
				take us there. The ensemble cast is amazing, led by Hanks 
				and Tom Sizemore's career-best performance.
