"The Longest Day" vs. "Saving Private Ryan"

Paper Summary:

The comparison of two WWII movies and how they are both very important in teaching the history of what "The Greatest Generation" did for us and freedom.

From the Paper:

"For my assignment, I have chosen to compare, contrast, and review two of my favorite war movies. As a historical preservationist, I enjoy watching movies relating to American and world history,but I also have a bad habit of scrutinizing them for errors. Is the character wearing the correct uniform? Did that really take place or was it made up for the movie? I felt that these two movies, which both dealt with the time around June 6, 1944 (D-Day), would be a good pair to look at from the old Hollywood style and the new "television age and beyond" movie style."
