Saving Private Ryan

The speech I read was from the movie “Saving Private Ryan” (Movie Speech, 1998). General George C. Marshall read aloud a letter that Abraham Lincoln wrote to a Mrs. Bixby in Boston. I believe the goal of the speech was to inform his officers that there was a mission for them, which was to do whatever they had to to bring that boy home alive (Movie Speech, 1998). The goal of the speech/letter was not clearly stated until after he was done reading it to his officers. Based on the contents of…

Worth-watching historical movie If anybody thinks historical films are all about boring and wasting time, this movie would change their mind.

It was a cold brisk morning when my squad and I started our journey to Gallipoli, there were three young guys in front of me, with five others behind. We were all waiting silently, some of us were looking out for enemy snipers and mines in the water.

One scene in particular to me stands out above all else: For five minutes between 55:00 and 1:00:00 director Samuel Maoz was able to showcase human brutality, and how…
