saving private ryan

           the film,"Saving Private Ryan" is a wonderful depiction of WW2, and how terrible and bloody this war was. This film is a rescue mission for eight soldiers to save one soldier ( private James Francis Ryan) who's the last serving brother of four. after the united state army chief of staff learn that all of Ryan brothers are died, he order a rescue mission to get private Ryan out of danger and to be sent home. and as this is all being done while the war is taking place not all of the eight soldier make it out alive, but at the end Private  Ryan was rescue and sent home and live a very long life.



After seeing this film it does give you a great insight to how it is during war, and i know that there is no way i would have been able to survive as a soldier. i don't think when it came down to kill or be kill i would have done what was needed for my survival. i know i would not have been able to pull that trigger.


A character in this movie that i really like is Cpl. Timothy P. Upham, many people see him as a weak character but to ask me he seems to be the only one who still have a hold on reality. it's not built in men to just kill another men, he struggle to pull the trigger because he has a respect for all life and is able to see that those men on the opposing team is just doing what they've been told to, just like he is.

in my opinion this cartoon show why war is never the answer to solve a problem. many wars start off for no reason, or some one might say one thing and it gets turned around. no one ever wants to take the blame for causing a war to break out, even if they are in fault. during world war one it seems like every one was just pointing fingers, so who really started the war.
