Cult war movie, Saving Private Ryan marked by its realism but also not its slew of stars. However, among this XXL cast, hides a personality very well known to the general public and you probably don't remember him.
Steven Spielberg made the 1990s his decade. After the colossal successes of the blockbusters Hook (1991), Jurassic Park (1993) and The Lost World (1997), the Maestro takes on historical films. He had initiated this facet in 1993 with Schindler's List then released in 1997 Amistad , recounting a mutiny on a slave ship. But it was in 1998, that the Spielberg will have its most beautiful appointment with History thanks to its feature film:Saving Private Ryan .
World War II, D-Day, blood, lots of blood and… Tom Hanks . A film that remains, more than twenty years after its release, hallucinating realism. And if you thought you knew everything about this work, we bet you hadn't seen this star, who appears in the cast, who has since become a world icon.
It is surely the most made of war films. When in 1998 came out Saving Private Ryan by Steven Spielberg, nobody expected so much realism, dark details and monstrosity. We had to show the Second World War as it was:violent, barbaric and bloody. After an introductory scene of our days, the spectator finds himself plunged into the hell of the Normandy landings, June 6, 1944.
The scenario settles little by little and we quickly understand that the film will be a rescue mission to save the famous soldier Ryan, whose three brothers died during this war. Led by Tom Hanks , the expeditionary force will be left to fend for themselves in order to find the young soldier, played by Matt Damon which was then unknown at the time.
But did you watch the movie by Steven Spielberg ? If so, you surely did not miss this world figure, even if in 1998, we grant you, she was absolutely unknown. In the commando put forward to go save Ryan, is private first class Adrian Caparzo played by... Vin Diesel . This is only his second appearance on the big screen after Strays, released a year earlier. And yes, before driving on the colossal saga Fast and Furious , the young Wine had put on his best soldier's outfit to (SPOILER) die next to Tom Hanks, killed by the famous sniper.
Come on, take out the tissues and find this cult scene on video!
