Saving Private Ryan

            The film industry of the 20th century has done all that it could to manipulate the
            
             viewers of the world. Wheter good, or bad propaganda in film has been a major source for
            
             molding the publics minds to fit the politicaly correct way of thinking at that particular
            
             time. Saving Private Ryan and an Officer and a gentleman are both movies that i believe to
            
             be propaganda films for the unioted states in concern of war. Both of these movies deal
            
             with the united states armed services, but the message behind these movies are very
            
             different.
            
             In saving private ryan the action that takes place is in world war 2. This movie
            
             was created in the 1998 by steven spielberg, who brought a war in to your living room.
            
             Many people were led to believe that this movie could have been a pro war movie for the
            
             fact that it incorporates a good story line into the tragedy that is taken place. If you were to
            
             look beyond the hollywood glitz you will see a movie that brings you the realness of war.
            
             At the time world war 2 was a neccesity for the u.s. to be a part of, but this movie does not
            
             glorify that in the least. Saving private ryan captures a sense of thankfulness to the veterans
            
             that were able to go through hell so that the age group of the 21st century will never have to
            
             endure such a trying time.
            
             World War II movies have come a long way since World War II.Originally used
            
             primarily as a propaganda tool to convince a war-weary public that a good cause was
            
             worth fighting even dying for, they've taken on the role of message film, or, in the case of
            
             Saving Private Ryan, multiple message film.The first message delivered by Saving
            
             Private Ryan is that you've got to earn it. It being defined as everything from "the big
            
             boat ride home" and your place here on earth to the respect of your peers and the love of
            
             those around you.
