Saving Private Ryan
Segunda Guerra Mundial, 1944. Tras el desembarco de los Aliados en Normandía, a un grupo de soldados americanos se le encomienda una peligrosa misión: poner a salvo al soldado James Ryan. Los hombres de la patrulla del capitán John Miller deben arriesgar sus vidas para encontrar a este soldado, cuyos tres hermanos han muerto en la guerra. Lo único que se sabe del soldado Ryan es que se lanzó con su escuadrón de paracaidistas detrás de las líneas enemigas.

It was this film, Saving Private Ryan, that led me to realize the core tenet of Steven Spielberg’s movies: they are all courageous stories of ordinary people doing extraordinary things. This theme began in fictitious waters: an archaeologist, a boy and an alien, and a paleontologist. Those were powerful tales, but by delving into the stories of America, Spielberg has tapped into something more. Still, the men we follow in the film’s Second Ranger Battalion may be fictitious, but the Second Ranger Battalion itself was a very real part of D-Day. Spielberg is building many of his narratives around American heroes and documenting our history in ways that can’t be gleaned from a textbook.
