What moved you most about Saving Private Ryan?

Saving Private Ryan is a classic war movie directed by Spielberg, and it is a milestone of war movies. In 7 1 Oscar, he won four awards: best film, best sound effect, sound effect editing and best photography, and became the biggest winner of the Horgos Academy Award. Until today, Douban scored 8.9TOP, ranking 70th, and it is still a classic of war movies.

This film can become a classic of war movies because it is different from all previous war movies. It is unique in the cruelty and sadness of wartime war, and it also shows the helplessness and insignificance of specific characters in the war from the previous big scenes. I think three things are touched.

The first point I think is the suffering brought by war to mankind. Different from previous films about World War II, Saving Private Ryan appeared in the form of encounter. In this encounter, the director used a lot of hand-held lenses to aim at the various personalities of individual characters in this war, including fear, fear, blood and shouting. Then the sound effects here played a great role. The roar of all kinds of planes, the crack of shells, the shouts of charge, the sound of bullets penetrating the body, the cry for help, and many others. According to many interviews later, the shooting of the Normandy landing was the most authentic and could best restore the tragic degree of World War II, so the director restored a scene close to the real war with the most authentic photography and perfect prop sound effects, and it was this scene that made the audience see the helplessness and insignificance of human beings in the face of war, which was unforgettable for a long time.

The second point is the death of several rescuers. Eight people saved a man on the battlefield. It is obviously unreasonable to measure this problem from the perspective of skills, and this person's problem has indeed happened, so it can be said that what is advocated here is the humanitarian spirit. Everyone is equal, everyone's life deserves respect, and everyone's personality deserves protection. Even if only one person was saved in the end, Captain Miller died laughing, not just finishing the task. Because he guarded another person's life, only four people survived in the end. Movies shape everyone's personality, everyone is an independent individual, but the saddest thing is that after their death, they all become monuments buried in the grass. Captain Miller, who is friendly but rigorous, Sergeant Viktor Horvath, who fights like a soldier, and Jackson, a sniper who has won many battles, are all unsmiling. Merris, a stubborn and clever Jew, and Ryan, a conscientious soldier, died one after another and eventually became a cross on the grass. Although Ke Ben, the translator, is still alive, I want to say that the timid may survive in the war, but only the brave will win, and the dead warriors are the real winners.

The third point is that the director inadvertently created the image of a useless translator like Ke Ben. He is useless and has never been on the battlefield, but he has an idealistic spirit about war. Before the war, he said that war might be good for him. In the end, he learned from Lin Lin that people who don't need to make up the numbers need brave people in the war. His soft heart directly led to the death of his comrades-in-arms, but isn't the image of Ke Ben the public? The director used an ordinary timid person to describe the cruelty of war, which may give the audience a sense of substitution. It is this sense of substitution that makes people feel more powerless and sad.
