Saving Private Ryanand American Triumphalism

Abstract

The author examined how Saving Private Ryan and its evocation of a victorious America in World War II are used to exalt American arms and the American spirit in the contemporary era. Thus, Saving Private Ryan, which came after the low-key American victories in the Cold War and the Gulf War, was a perfect anodyne for the somewhat equivocal glory of those triumphs.
