Movie Night!



Today I watched Saving Private Ryan.  I had seen this movie before but it had been a really long time. I enjoyed seeing it again but I'm not sure I want to see it again. It's so violent and sad and real.  I love Tom Hanks in this movie also, he is so wonderful! If you have never seen this movie, it is a must watch!!
Summary from IMDB:
 
Opening with the Allied invasion of Normandy on 6 June 1944, members of the 2nd Ranger Battalion under Cpt. Miller fight ashore to secure a beachhead. Amidst the fighting, two brothers are killed in action. Earlier in New Guinea, a third brother is KIA. Their mother, Mrs. Ryan, is to receive all three of the grave telegrams on the same day. The United States Army Chief of Staff, George C. Marshall, is given an opportunity to alleviate some of her grief when he learns of a fourth brother, Private James Ryan, and decides to send out 8 men (Cpt. Miller and select members from 2nd Rangers) to find him and bring him back home to his mother
