Janusz kaminski flawless cinematography! - Saving Private Ryan Reviews

Mesmerizing and absolutely outstanding. In the first 30mins of this film director Steven Spielberg and cinematographer Janusz Kaminski delivered D-day invasion which took place on June 6th 1944 during World War 2, when allied forces landed in Normandy, northern France. What can be described as a full blooded massacre of onslaught carnage depicted with meticulous cinematography and in-depth camera techniques. From the aftermath of the dreaded battle, the film general storyline which was based on a true story and overall acting is circumspect if not ordinary to the least. With a languished cast of mediocre performances that include Tom Hanks, Tom Sizemore, Edward Burns, Barry Pepper and a host of others that don?t necessarily need mentioning. Saving Private Ryan won five Academy Awards, as Steven Spielberg received his second Oscar [Schindler?s List 1993] for Directing, Janusz Kaminski also received his second [Schindler?s List 1993] Oscar for Cinematography, Michael Kahn third [Raiders Of The Lost Ark 1981, Schindler?s List 1993] for Editing, Ron Jenkins/Andy Nelson/Gary Rydstorm/Gary Summers for Sound and Richard Hymns [Jurassic Park 1993]/Gary Rydstorm [Jurassic Park 1993] for Sound Effects Editing.
