Saving Private Ryan*
On the film poster we can see soldiers and they look like determined to fight and kill to survive, they want to defend theire country. On the opening scene, we can see an old man who limp. He is at an American cemetry that honours* the American troops who died in Europe during WW2. The landing scene on Omaha Beach: there are soldiers on boats, their hands are shaking, they are praying. Soldiers look tense, they must be afraid but they must fight for their lives, they will help each other.
In this film, American soldiers are considered as heroes because in spite of fear, they are brave and determine to win the war.
Thank you :)
Très bien ! You used a lot of descriptive vocabulary and painted a very vivid picture. Very minor mistakes too!
*All words in a title should be capitalized - there are exceptions. I can list them if you want.
*In British English this is correct. In American English it is honors.

Bien fait! Au dernier phrase, le verbe "considered" n'est pas incorrect, mais dans ce contexte la meilleure expression en anglais serait "portrayed". Le verbe "to portray" est l'equivalent de "peindre" ou "représenter" ou "faire le portrait sous les traits de" en français.
Comme l'autre gars a dit, l'orthographe des certains mots qui termine en "our" est different entre les Américains et les Canadiens/Australiens/Anglais. A l'orthographe britannique, on inclue la lettre "U". Par exemple:
British / American
honour / honor
colour / color
valour / valor
harbour / harbor
candour / candor
Termaisons "ise/ize"
civilise / civilize
civilisation / civilization
organise / organize
organisation / organization
specialise / specialize
specialisation / specialization
Termaisons "re/er"
metre / meter
centre / center
fibre / fiber
theatre / theater
Termaisons "ce/se"
offence / offense
defence / defense
licence / license
Et il y a d'autres . . .
