My favourite work of art/entertainment is the film Saving Private Ryan
Saving Private Ryan is a WWII film, in which we follow a group of american soldiers that are going to bring a young soldier back home to his family, beacuse he has lost his three brothers in the war. The United States Army Chief of Staff promised his mother to try and bring her last son home. He made this promise beacuse the mother received all the news of the death of her three sons on the very same day. But the young soldier (Private Ryan) is behind enemy lines and they do not know if he is alive or dead. The United States Chief of Staff decided to send out eight men to bring Private Ryan back home. The soldiers were questioning the order and all the odds against them, why, should eight people risk their lives to bring one person home?
This film was awarded five Oscars. The director is Steven Spielberg and he received one of the awards.
I remember from the first time I saw it that it was a very good film. It is really well made. It made me think how hard it was for the soldier in the war and what they actually went through. I think the film has a very good and interesting story line, not just about the war but also about the bonds between the soldiers and how close friends they became even though they were in a war zone. The film made me hope I will never have to go to war, and it made me realize how painful it must have been for the soldiers and the families back home, when they do not know if their son or husband is going to survive. It is all a bit scary.
I think the film is good because I like action and war films. I prefer war film based on a real war , beacuse it feels like it is based on a true story.
I do not feel that I have burned out on it and I do not think that I will either, but I can not watch the film over and over again. If I see it now and then I think I will always like the film.
