My favourite movie - Saving Private Ryan

This movie is a must watch because of its real life based events during the world war 2 on Omaha beach June 4, 1944. The portrayal of war on omaha beach for the first 30 minutes is bone chilling, shocking and at most realistic. And when you keep aside the movie and think about the soldiers who fought at omaha it gets emotional as well as patriotic. It is the moment of life and death and there is only 10% chance of getting your life back on that beach, it is like you already know that you are gonna die out there but still you have to face it. If i was on that beach i would've died without getting shot, instead an heart attack. In the movie you can clearly observe that the seashore is full of blood, pieces of flesh from the human body, like broken legs, hand, intestine, bone, brains everywhere. And the bullets flying from all directions, atmosphere filled with more bullets than air but still soldiers survive and capture the enemies only because they outnumbered the enemies or else there was not at all a chance for victory. Tom Hanks plays Captain John. H Miller the company commander who's memory has been recollected in this movie.
                          After the clash at omaha beach   before they could settle down they have another task of saving Private First Class James Francis Ryan who has lost all his 3 brothers in the war and he is the last one of the family. The army officers are worried about ryans mother who is a widow and has no one except James Francis Ryan, so they decided to send a team of soldiers to save ryan and this is where the story revolves. The soldiers sent for this task including John. H Miller are not interested in risking all of their life for one soldier and he comforts the co-soldiers that they can go home after the task, and they are not sure that this ryan is still alive. And on the way they find several troops but no ryan but they wont quit from their mission until they find him. For their surprise when they finally meet him and try to get him home safe he refuses to go home leaving his fellow soldiers with whom he was with. He sticks to his duty like a real soldier and he says he will go home only if everybody goes. The captain (Tom Hanks) and his troop is confused of ryan's decision  and even they stick with ryan and fight. But the war becomes more tighter and tough for them to withstand without more backup and it gets more and more aggressive, the enemies outnumber them with tanks and a lot of soldiers. In the end all of troops including Francis Ryan dies in the war and John.H Miller survives luckily and he mourns each and every moment of war and he salutes the war heroes who fought with and without him at his older days.
And the official song of the movie is composed and performed by none other than the Metallica which goes like "Life Just Seems To Fade Away"............................
