SAVING PRIVATE RYAN

Saving Private Ryan has a weird charisma. It manages to make you happy and sad, optimistic and hopeless, all at the same time. It is a ride full of emotions. If you have 2.5 hrs to spare, do get on this ride.

It is the story of a group of soldiers who are sent deep into the war-zon to retrieve a certain Private Ryan. Ryan is the last living son of his mother, the rest having been killed in the war. The group of soldiers are cynical about the task assigned to them. But each of them has their own reasons for the mission. The movie tracks their story as they attempt to find Ryan and the dilemma that they face when they actually find him.

Final Verdict: The movie is long. But it's definitely not boring. The emotional turmoil that you go through as you watch the movie is sure to have an impact on you. Personally, I 'felt' like a better man after watching the movie.
