On this Memorial Day no fewer than 100 trillion TVs will be playing Saving Private Ryan across America, a film I've seen about 100 times now. But one thing that struck me the last time I saw Saving Private Ryan was each death in the squad was foreshadowed. It's a little piece of trivia that gave me a fresh new perspective on Saving Private Ryan and hopefully it will for you as well. Saving Private Ryan is a 1998 American epic war film directed by Steven Spielberg and written by Robert Rodat. Set in 1944 in France during World War II, it follows a group of soldiers, led by Captain John Miller (Tom Hanks), on their mission to locate Private James Francis Ryan (Matt Damon) and bring him home safely after his three brothers are killed in action. The cast also includes Edward Burns, Tom Sizemore, Barry Pepper, Giovanni Ribisi, Vin Diesel, Adam Goldberg, and Jeremy Davies. #tomhanks #vindiesel #stevenspielberg #moviereview #videoessay #action #war #viralvideo #review #subscribetomychannel #video #filmanalysis #moviescenes
