(Testimony: I do not intend to hurt no one’s feeling by suggesting English movies. What I care is to refer you the best in the world. Also what you read here is not a copy-waste. This is what I felt inside when I saw under mentioned movies)
I used to suggest war movies like ‘Tango Charlie, Border, Black hawk down, etc when someone asks, to know about a soldier’s life and military operations. And I added one more movie to this group; it is 2014 released ‘Fury’. It’s such a nice movie, about 5-6 soldiers destined to fight with a Tank during a war. But now I suggest just one movie and it is SAVING PRIVATE RYAN.
Learn From The Movie ‘SAVING PRIVATE RYAN’
As considering it as the best among several war movies, I would like to list out what we get when we watch SAVING PRIVATE RYAN, FURY and PEARL HARBOR.
- A Cool Captain, Emotional and Protective Enough (Both Tom Hanks and Brad Pit). A leader must be like this. He is a brave heart who leads a group of soldiers. Consoling them, motivating them, leading them by showing the way ahead. In no situation he was out of ideas and bravery.
- Timing for Action. In the commencing 30 minutes of SAVING PRIVATE RYAN, a soldier is taking his helmet off only to kiss it after it saved him from a direct hit. And in next second what Tom Hank (Capt.) sees is his dead body besides him. The movies well depicts the situation which needs excellent timing, to fire, to load weapon, to wait for Captain’s Order, to run across, even to grunt upon his buddy’s death.
- Reality of War. People are getting killed in a matter of seconds. Both sides suffer and there is blood, body parts everywhere. THE FIRST 30 MINUTES OF SAVING PRIVATE RYAN IS A MUST WATCH. You could see a soldier looking for his right arm which got detached in heavy shelling. Another soldier is lying down; half dead and besides him we could see his intestine which came out as his belly got busted in .50 Cal’s firing.

- Soldiers Life – Before and During War. You will see how a soldier serves, what he/she do during peacetime. You will also see what they do and what happens to them on war zone. All 3 movies alike make you say that Dying is Better than Getting Injured. The only difference between life in peacetime and war time is the former will be up to your expectation and the latter will be beyond your expectation. Simply Unbelievable.
- There is no one like Old War Buddies. Have you ever been asked by a friend for a piece of chewing gum when it was in your mouth?? Well, you could see one in SAVING PRIVATE RYAN. Have you ever had a friend who always watches your back?? Well, and then watch Pearl Harbor.
And finally, war is nothing personal. You can still find humanity in there.
IT’S NOT YOUR ARMOR OR AMMUNITION, BUT THE FLAG OF YOUR COUNTRY PATCHED ON YOUR UNIFORM, WHICH MAKES YOU AN ENEMY.
