Was saving pivate Ryan beach scene true to life?
The scene in which the Americans and British invaded Normandy beach was based on an actual historical event. The layout of the machine gun nests as well as the anti-tank obstacles was accurate, however the characters themselves and exactly what happened in the beach scene was not historically accurate.
What were your reactions to some of the religious connections made in Saving Private Ryan?
As the aphorism says, "There are no atheists in foxholes". That means that when a person is faced with extreme stress, fear, or threat to their lives, most everyone will turn to God; e.g. there are no atheists when faced with death. More importantly, religion was much more revered in the 1940s. People in the 1940s lived their religious creeds, whether Christian or Jew (the two primary faiths in the US then). To NOT see religious beliefs portrayed in Saving Private Ryan would have removed a large indelible image of men bravely charging on despite fear...when surrounded by the blood of their comrades as it soaked the sands and turned the water's tide red.
How does the letter sent to mother about her sons in movie saving private Ryan start?
Known as the "Bixby Letter" ;
"Executive Mansion,
Washington, Nov. 21, 1864.
Dear Madam,
I have been shown in the files of the War Department a statement of the Adjutant General of Massachusetts that you are the mother of five sons who have died gloriously on the field of battle. I feel how weak and fruitless must be any word of mine which should attempt to beguile you from the grief of a loss so overwhelming. But I cannot refrain from tendering you the consolation that may be found in the thanks of the Republic they died to save. I pray that our Heavenly Father may assuage the anguish of your bereavement, and leave you only the cherished memory of the loved and lost, and the solemn pride that must be yours to have laid so costly a sacrifice upon the altar of freedom.
Yours, very sincerely and respectfully,
A. Lincoln"
