Saving Private Ryan research

• The movie that I have chosen to do my historical research film on is Saving Private Ryan. What this movie is about a small group of US army rangers that are given a mission to save one man named Ryan.  James Francis Ryan is his name. Tom Hanks play Captain Miller, who is the leader of his group of army rangers. He just survived the attack on D-Day and is now given an important mission to save one man and get him back home in one piece. He and his men find Ryan, but Ryan refuses to leave his platoon that is guard the last bridge into Germany.  Most of the men in captain miller’s squad die including him trying to hold the Rhine Bridge. Ryan survives and he will never forget what captain miller did for him. This movie is really historical because it has the battle of D-day when the allies invade France, trying to get a foothold in order to push the Germans back.  Another battle that takes place in this movie is the battle of the Rhine Bridge. It was very critical for the allies because it was the last bridge to cross the Rhine River that leads into Germany.

  The movie that captures my attention was the battle of D-day. That was the day when the allies invade France by landed on the beaches of Normandy. The bloodiest battle in D-day was Omaha beach. A lot of veterans who fought and survive that battle call Omaha beach by a different name, that name was called “Blood beach.” D-day was also called by a different name too by the veterans of WWII; name was “The longest day.”  People who have watched this movie should care about this movie. This movie was made for the veterans who fought in World War II. And it was made to honor the men who died bravely in battle by giving their life for our country.

  The scene that inspires me to write a research paper about this movie and the scene that really stands out in this movie is the D-day battle scene.  There are a lot of facts, details, and most importantly stories from veterans who fought and survive on that beach. The preparation of D-day shows how the allies manage to transport materials and supplies, and manage to fake out the Germans thinking that they would cross the English Channel from the north east. That battle is one of the most gruesome and epic battle that allies has ever won.
