Saving Private Ryan

I simply adore this movie, as it is my all time favorite film. The acting is impeccible, the true beauty of this film shone in my face the first time I saw it. A melancholy, tragic war story of a man whom brothers died fighting valiantly in WWII and his mother's greiving caused the military officials to send a small search party to look for Young Private Ryan. An incredibly good story, I loved every minute of it. I felt like I was in the trenches of hell, fighting not only for my life, but courageously serving my country. Though this movie is excellently directed, made, and produced, it is by far the goriest movie I've seen in my life. (It even bypassed the violence of Pan's Labryinth, who'd of thought?) There are a few disturbing, graphic images and wounds involving war that parents should take into careful consideration. -A man is shown bloodied with his instestines strewn about his belly, screaming and slowly succumbing to his wound. -A man's face is shown 'punched' in by something, not too graphic but rather disturbing. -A man slowly drives a knife through another man's heart; blood streams out of the wound as goes deeper into his chest cavity. -A man is shot through the gut with a bullet, he starts bleeding heavily, starts coughing up blood, and shown suffering as his comrades attempt to save him, but eventually he succumbs to his wound. -Several instances of men being ignited on fire, engulfed in flames as they slowly suffer long, horrible fates. -Many men are brutally shot through their foreheads in the battle of Normandy at the beginning. -Multiple other graphic instances of gunning and violence warefare criteria. As foul language is often used in war, there is no shortage of it in this film. Many instances of 'F*ck, C*ck, and D**m. Towards the end a group of soldiers start talking 'dirty' involving sexual themes, nothing to explicit in that scene, but I'd reccommend muting it for about 30 seconds. Overall, this is an INCREDIBLE movie, and I strongly urge people to watch it. However, it has many gory scenes and strong war language to accompany it, so I would have to say people should only be watching this about 16-17+. The only reason I was permitted to watch this is because it's regarding WWII, one of my favorite subjects. - -

Saving Private Ryan is the best war movie ever made, hands down. The acting is superb from both Tom Hanks and Jeremy Davies. This is a violent and bloody film that doesn't d*ck around about war. War is hell. Language is not too bad. A lot of people say there is, but I guess I missed it because I don't nitpick. It's a war movie of course it had language. The role models differ. Captain Miller (Tome Hanks) doesn't care about Ryan but about the men he loses and tries to save. Be warned: If you are squeamish, don't watch this: The 1st 20 min. are full of bloodshed that made some turn green. The main reason I loved this movie was the message A lot of war movies portray war as a videogame and the good guy always wins. THis is not the case in this film Message: To save a life you lose more than the one you wish to save. You will either cry during this movie during the ending or get p*ssed off. Either way it shows why you should honor the men in WWII

I have been wanting to watch this movie forever, and finally dad let me. The beginning and ending scenes are extremely violent and disturbing. One memorable image is half a man is screaming in agony on Normandy Beach with his intestines spilling out onto the bloody sand. Lots of blood spurting, SPOILER!!!! Main characters die. Lots of them. Some bad language, too, but ya know, it's a war movie.

Look, sure, this movie is violent, but it IS a classic, and has many good messages loke teamwork and loyalty. The truth is, sadly, that war is violent. The only way to portray war is with violence. By age 12, kids should be mature enough to accept the profanity, be able to understand the violence, and understand the reality and brutalities of war. This is one of the best movies ever made. It should not be missed. By anyone.
