This film is based off of the Invasion of Normandy during World War II. Captain John H. Miller(Tom Hanks) and his platoon is ordered by Army Chief of Staff to locate one of the four brothers who are still fighting the war and bring him back home. All three of Private James Ryan's brothers are KIA, along with their mother who shall be receiving all three letters of their death on the same day.
In my opinion, Saving Private Ryan doesn't show that much bias. We do in the movie root for the Americans into finding Private James Ryan, but we aren't into favoring one individual group or comparing the U.S. Army to the German Army.
My research is involves this movie because I believe James Ryan suffered some sort of PTSD towards the beginning and ending of the film. The opening credits of the film, James Ryan visits the grave of Captain John H. Miller. Following that, the film went to a flashback of 1944, The invasion of Normandy, France. At the end of the film, it goes back to present day, as the last memory was of Captain H. Miller dying.
