The intolerable amount of deaths displayed in the film was only one of many strategies which Spielberg utilized in the movie to increase its authenticities. The fact that Saving Private Ryan accurately imitated the European Theatre of the War on the TV screen made it an excellent representation of United States’s contribution to the war efforts in the Second World War. The script writer Robert Rodat, wrote the plot based on a true story of Sergeant Frederick Niland. Like Private Ryan, the army…
