On its surface, Saving Private Ryan is one of the most intense and unglamorous portrayals of war in history. But underneath this, Saving Private Ryan actually supports war, showing the soldiers as heroic and brave, fighting to make the world a better place. And no matter how horribly war is depicted, when you depict the soldiers fighting it as heroic (as the allies in WWII definitely were), you are not making an anti-war statement.
Movies Under The Surface is a series of video essays that explores what makes great films great. The videos are about understanding movies at a deeper level, beneath plot and story, at their heart.
