The film is one of the most brutally realistic war films ever made, and tries to honestly depict not only the graphic horror, but also the graphic emotions of people stuck in a bloody and relentless war. The Saving Private Ryan is a limited edition release, so it's not something to put off. ... Full Review

The French horns and other low brass instruments carried this theme of remembrance throughout the film very well, giving Saving Private Ryan 's score an almost supernatural feeling, much like Schindler's List 's score. Combining all of the characteristics of the score, I believe that Saving Private Ryan was not as unremarkable as many other film score critics believed. ... Full Review

The U.S. high command has decided that the Ryan family has suffered enough, and that their remaining son should be brought home safely. It's not exploitation, but rather a master filmmaker's true-life recreation of one of the bloodiest battles in human history, to make one appreciate the bravery and the loss. ... Full Review
