June 6th, 1944 D-Day the largest military campaign of the 20th century , 60 years ago from Sunday June 6th, 2004 to the day
thousands of allied forces along with the most miltary equipment
in the history of mankind for one purpose to liberate France from
German occupation , the single most defining battle of World War
2, it would be a success but not with out it’s price the ultimate
price for allied forces and americans of our greatist generation
would be the highest price.For those that survived they would see
things that most of us would never see and some things that they
would never want to see again , but some would go to continue to fight in the pacific and other battles of World War 2.It is the
courage and bravery of these men that will stand the test of time and be rememberd for many generations from both the D-Day
and World War 2 memoreals.It is also these men who would inspire
Steven Speilberg to make his 1998 masterpeice Saving Private Ryan where it’s amazing first 28 minutes of the film alone is
a living tribute to the men who fought on the beaches of Normandy that fateful day.The violence may be extreme but this
is the closest to the real thing that your going to get.Tom Hanks
is Capt.Miller him and his platoon have orders to secure the beach for the rest of the forces.When he does the miltary soon finds out that 3 brothers have died in combat and Pvt.James
Ryan is the 4th brother who is missing Capt.Miller is given orders to find him and get him out of the war when loosing
some of his men under his command , when loosing these men
he feels that all of this may not be worth the trouble.When
they finally do find him , him and his men are angry and
weary from battle , Pvt.Ryan(Matt Damon) is told and refuses
to go with Capt.Miller and instead plans to secure a bridge
that must be taken to stop the Germans, Capt Miller and
his men see that there is no choice but to stay and fight
along side Ryan , and Capt.Miller and his men beging to
realize that Pvt.Ryan is also someones son and also is
worth much more then what they came there to do in this
stirring tribute to the men that fought in World War 2.

This set includes Saving Private Ryan:60 th Annaversary
Edition in Dts as well as two documentarys , Price For Peace
and Shooting War two absolutely brillant documentarys from
the team of Steven Speilberg,Steven Ambrose,and Tom Hanks to
give you an actual veiw of World War 2,these are great companion
peices to a brillant film and the best World War 2 film of all time now the men of World War 2 will live on when you watch this
as they were ment to be in this greatist sacrifice of a generation.A wonderful set.

To all the guys who didn’t like the movie so much:you guys just don’t know that the film was loosely based on a true story about the Niland Brothers and what is wrong with you people,do you guys think that Spielberg would make a film that is historical fiction and this film is not one of them.You guys think that the story is unrealistic you guys know nothing about World War 2 and if you want to know the true story go ask the vets or study World War 2 more and the bad and mixed reviews are pointless and you guys often misunderstood so before you guys write a complaint please make sure you finished studying World War 2 and the people who hadn’t watched it ignore the ones who dislike this film and buy it and the complaints are irritating and pointless and the story of the Niland Brothers will still be around.
