Private Ryan (DTS Edition)
When Steven Spielberg was an adolescent, his first home movie was a
backyard war film. When he toured Europe with Duel in his 20s, he
saw old men crumble in front of headstones at Omaha Beach. That image
became the opening scene of Saving Private Ryan, his film of a
mission following the D-day invasion that many have called the most
realistic--and maybe the best--war film ever. With 1998 production
standards, Spielberg has been able to create a stunning, unparalleled
view of war as hell. We are at Omaha Beach as troops are slaughtered by
Germans yet overcome the almost insurmountable odds.
A stalwart Tom Hanks plays Captain Miller, a soldier's soldier, who
takes a small band of troops behind enemy lines to retrieve a private
whose three brothers have recently been killed in action. It's a public
relations move for the Army, but it has historical precedent dating back
to the Civil War. Some critics of the film have labeled the central
characters stereotypes. If that is so, this movie gives stereotypes a
good name: Tom Sizemore as the deft sergeant, Edward Burns as the
hotheaded Private Reiben, Barry Pepper as the religious sniper, Adam
Goldberg as the lone Jew, Vin Diesel as the oversize Private Caparzo,
Giovanni Ribisi as the soulful medic, and Jeremy Davies, who as a meek
corporal gives the film its most memorable performance.
The movie is as heavy and realistic as Spielberg's Oscar-winning Schindler's
List, but it's more kinetic. Spielberg and his ace technicians (the
film won five Oscars: editing (Michael Kahn), cinematography (Janusz
Kaminski), sound, sound effects, and directing) deliver battle sequences
that wash over the eyes and hit the gut. The violence is extreme but
never gratuitous. The final battle, a dizzying display of gusto,
empathy, and chaos, leads to a profound repose. Saving Private Ryan
touches us deeper than Schindler because it succinctly links the
past with how we should feel today. It's the film Spielberg was destined
to make. --Doug Thomas (amazon reviewer)
