Reading and watching this book, you have really the impression to stand beside the actors, from the boot camp to the end of the shooting. Very attractives black and white and color photos, interviews with the cast and a lot more.
great souvenir coffee table item

Although I give this movie 5 stars, the book only gets 3 stars. The book gives an insight into some of the behind the scenes themes to the movie (the airfield where they made the village, the Irish army, and boot camp), and into some of themes of the movie. As for the movie: there are some military imperfections, but overall a great movie which I want to watch over and over again! Another fault with the movie is that its built upon a "Macdonalds" formula that tries to hit all the right buttons. Overall, this does not bother me, since its message is that war is without glory , its just about soldiers who want to know why they're fighting, and how they can get home as soon as possible.
A cheap mistake of a top director

Spielburg made a cheap mistake in this award hunting movie. After the battle which killed the black guy in the rain and find a wrong ryan,before the battle of ryda station,THERE WERE STILL 8 SOLDIERS WALKING THROUGH THE SCREEN! If this sort of mistake was made by someone else, its not so bad.But with spielburg, just become a shame.He look like too desporate to win the award, maybe before that he should think about improve his working atitude.
A good companion piece to the movie

This book was just as I expected it to be a behind the scenes look at a very intense movie. The photos are spectacular and the narrative very informative. My only complain is there is not enough of either. It left me wanting more. Maybe that is what a good book is supposed to do but I still had unanswered question concerning how the movie was made. I love those production stories full of little details of how they did it, what went wrong and how they made it all work somehow. Was it worth the price, yes but I would have paid more to get more.
