film actually made you see that they were humans, too. They might have been very similar to a Brit or an American, but they were fighting for Hitler and not for freedom. This was a great film and one that helped me learn a lot about the U-Boat. The U-Boat had always been something that I really did not understand and did not know much about. After this film, I feel like I have a much better understanding of what a U-Boat was, what kind of capabilities it had, and what life on a U-Boat was like. Reviewers of the film agree with me.

It was nice to see a film that showed what life was like on the other side.Saving Private RyanDirector: Steven SpielbergScreenwriter: Robert Rodat Film Genre: Drama/WarCast: Tom Hanks, Matt Damon, Tom SizemoreThis is the story of a group of U.S. soldiers whose mission it becomes to save Private James Francis Ryan (played by Matt Damon).

The orders were to find him and to bring him back safely. He was to go back to the U.S. But after finding him, Ryan refuses to leave the small group of men he is with. They defend a bridge against the Germans. Ryan lives, but many of the others were killed, including Captain Miller (played by Tom Hanks).

The opening scenes where they showed the storming of Normandy were amazing. The way they showed how the soldiers thought, felt, and acted was also very good. The emotions of the soldiers were portrayed well. It was realistic how they...
