Loss Of Life In James Ryan's Saving Private Ryan

Improved Essays
Not everyone questions the value of their life. For the most part, more than half of the human population goes through their day in blissful ignorance of their surroundings. The news gives updates on the death tolls, those who have lost their lives are mourned for a period of time, and then life continues. Loss of life happens everywhere, whether it’s countries at war, a thief in an alley, or a murderer stalking their next victim. All these scenarios have one thing in common, at some point in time someone, somewhere decided their life was worth more than that of the person next to them. In my opinion, Saving Private Ryan does a great job at zeroing in on these moments.
James Ryan has just lost all three of his brothers, who are fighting the

    Only those who fight in a war know how traumatic of an experience it can be and question how they made it out alive. It is hard to adapt from the normal way of life to being in a warzone for months or years. It takes an effect on soldiers’ personalities and they tend to as much as they can to distance their minds from the harsh reality of war. Many civilians have no clue as to the hardships they endure. Tim O’Brien communicates his experience to many through his short story, “The Things They Carried”.…

    Albert Einstein once said: “The world is a dangerous place, not because of those who do evil but because of those who look on and do nothing.” The Civil War started because of differences between the free and slave states over the power of the national government to prohibit slavery in the territories that had not yet become states.

    The representation of war in: Saving Private Ryan and The Thin Red Line War films at times fail to capture the true essence of war, capturing the torment that war inflicts on individuals and groups is difficult to capture. The Thin Red Line presents itself as close to the reality of war that it can. It has no plot or pain characters instead men in a constant state of dread not knowing what will happen next. Saving Private Ryan however, is very different, there is fear and anger throughout the movie, but there the main characters have determination and are confident in completing their mission. When you place Saving Private Ryan and The Thin Red Line besides one another you see sharp differences in the depiction of war, what it means…

    They did not care about the loss of limb or even the loss of life all they cared about was revenge. This same mentality as I mentioned in another response can still be seen today with how Al-Qaeda can use suicide bombers and these people will gladly give their lives if there is a chance to advance their cause. Also if you have never seen the movie I highly recommend it I saw it when it came out and thought it was good enough that I own the DVD.…
