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…

Joseph J. Ellis’ book, Founding Brothers, is a historical analyzation of six stories that Ellis believes had a crucial impact on American history. Although Ellis finds all six of these stories important, I believe three of them are more meaningful than the rest.
