    This score does a lot to paint a picture in your mind. It's a sorrow-filled one that developes a feeling of hope throughout the sadness. The minor tones are ominous, but blend into the glimmering bright majors that make up the majority of the sound.W...ell done, just like the movie. Read more Less

Pro Reviews: Saving Private Ryan

  • All Music Guide

    Saving Private Ryan was an unexpected masterstroke from Steven Spielberg -- a powerful, brutal film that didn't flinch in depicting the violence in World War II, managing to be an antiwar film that was also pro-war. Even though it contained a dose of Spielberg's traditional sentimentality, it remained a complex, layered film scored by John Williams. The composer had less room in the film than usual -- many scenes, particularly the battle sequences, were designed to play without music -- yet he added sentiment wherever he could nonetheless.
