It is very clear from the opening five minutes of saving private Ryan that this film is definetly not going to be for the light hearted. It is aimed at people who can deal with a lot of gore and graphic scenes and if you can not deal with this then this film is definetly not for you. It is an action film set in the Second World War and it stars Tom hanks as a sergeant of a group of men in the American forces. If you watch the opening 5 minutes you will see that it is full of action with non stop gun fighting right from the start. This straight away catches the audiences attention and gets them excited to see the rest of the film. There isn't much music that is used within the first couple of minutes of the film the only thing we can hear is exactly what the charterers themselves can here and it is very effective as it helps us put ourselves in the characters position and it makes us feel sorry for them as we understand what they are going though. There are camera shots that show men walking around with arms missing and others running around burning alive and as we know from the Second World War this is exactly what happened it really does put the audience in the view of the characters. The whole beach where the scene takes place is red which shows it is coloured with blood and blood from all the men that we are looking at, it shows how disturbing and tough it must of been for the soldiers that spent everyday of there lives fighting for there country in these conditions. We are shown short camera shots of these American soldered literally crying before they run on to the beach kissing there hearts and hoping that they have some luck, it shows how these normal people just like us were put in these horrible circumstances.
