Discussion Questions
* During the opening scene Captain Miller (Tom Hanks) successfully leads the invasion to break through the enemy lines. How is his leadership here different from his leadership in other situations during the movie?
* Throughout the movie Captain Miller continues to lead the unit even when he feels the mission’s objectives are not worth risking the lives of his men and his own. How and why does Captain Miller convince his men to continue in this meaningless assignment?
* Why does Captain Miller choose to stay when Private Ryan refuses to leave the bridge in France? Why do his men choose to stay with him?
* Captain Miller refuses to “gripe” to his unit, stating that “gripes go up, not down”. Why does he do this, and what does it demonstrate to his team?
* Do the Second Rangers follow Captain Miller because of his title, or do they follow him for other reasons? If so, why?
* Was the mission a success, even after all of the sacrifice and losses?
