Paper Abstract: Analysis of the film's use of sound. The questioning of the value of human life as the major theme of the 1998 film. Sound as representing a major character in the movie. Dialogue, special effect sounds and musical soundtrack. Realism of sound effects as creating a rich cinematic experience. Paper Introduction: Saving Private Ryan Sound Analysis Steven Spielberg’s Saving Private Ryan opens during the D-Day invasion of Normandy at Omaha Beach in its opening scenes. After witnessing the enormity of the chaos and carnage in this scene, Captain John Miller (Tom Hanks) is put in charge of locating Private James Ryan. One of four brothers, Ryan’s other three brothers have recently been killed in action. Trying to save Ryan, Miller and seven other men are sent deep into enemy territory to bring him safely home. The film revolves around many ideas and themes. One of these is the value of life. We see that many died to secure liberties for others. The film and the eight men sent in to save Ryan also question whether the life of one man is worth their own. Sacrifice is another major theme in the film.
