Paper 2 Writing - Review by emer1ca Hey ! I decided to buckle down to the 2nd part of the Writing task, namely the multiple choices task. I got the drill from the book called Ready for Advanced 2015 Edition. I had to come up with a write-up about a historical movie, explain why it is worth watching and what could have been better. Find the review below. -- Saving the Private Ryan : A journey through hell Set the 6th of June 1944 during the Normandie landings carried out by the Allies forces, this masterpiece signed Steven Spielberg was already a success before hitting the box office! This war movie takes place in France during the unfortunate events of the World War 2. An order from the hierarchy plays havoc with the plans of a small company leaded by Tom Hanks. With a budget hitting 250 Millions Dollars, no producer has ever spent a such amount of money for a war movie ! What was initially a war conflict quickly turns into a rescue mission. 12 men cast towards the German lines in order to send back home an American soldier whose 4 brothers perished during the conflict. A special attention has been brought to the soundtrack composed by the notorious Hans Zimmer whose classical tracks lend a melancholy touch of je-ne-sais-quoi on the film. Featuring talented actors such as Tom Hanks, David Lepstein or the well-known Steve Hawkman, the lineup is the crème de la crème of Hollywood.Tremendously well shot, nature lovers will appreciate the stunning landscapes of Normandie that somehow resembles the quaint lands of Cornwalls. In spite of the top-toch performance delivered by Steven Spielberg and its cast, a couple of inconsistencies slipped in and might puzzle the staunch history advocates among you.Thus, some might notice that a small amount of replicas are, occasionally, not matching the historical period. This has been the only mishap brought up by the critics. To sum it up, if you can get past the few incoherences regarding the historical reenactment, this movie will definitely get your money’s worth. Steven Spielberg once again provided an entertaining war film all the while honoring the memory of thousand of soldiers fell during a gruesome period of our history.
