Every day, AlloCiné recommends watching a movie (again) on TV. Tonight: The June 6, 1944 Landing as seen by Steven Spielberg.
If Empire of the Sun and Schindler’s List both have World War II in context (the Japanese occupation of Manchuria in the former and the Holocaust in the latter), they are primarily matters of historical drama. In 1998, Saving Private Ryan saw Steven Spielberg make his true war film, featuring American soldiers on a mission to find James Francis in the confusion of the 1944 landings. Ryan, whose brothers were all killed in action.
From the opening scene, a stunning recreation of the American landings on Omaha Beach, the tone is set. The director opts for ultra-realism: a hand-held camera, as close as possible to emaciated faces and dismembered bodies, faded colors, a tendency towards sepia, the continuous sound of machine guns. Inspired by Robert Capa’s photo series ‘Jour D’, the images of raw brutality reveal the human context of human sacrifice, suffering and solidarity in battle.
on its production, We have to save Private Ryan It received positive reviews for its casting (Tom Hanks, Matt Damon, Vin Diesel, Giovanni Ribisi, Tom Sizemore, to name a few), John Williams’ score, and its screenplay.
