Spielberg's pride as a filmmaker who continues to cause a revolution with ``Saving Saving Private Ryan''

A production of “blood” that leaves a vivid meaning on the battlefield
In this way, Spielberg's films have heightened realism in order to control the audience's visual and sensory experience, but the ``Battle of Omaha Beach'' in ``Saving Saving Private Ryan'', which is considered to be the pinnacle of this, contains artificial and cinematic elements. There is a performance. It is the ``color of blood'' that is developed in the play.
In this film, a process called ENR was applied to the screen to give the film a faded look. ENR stands for ``silver-retaining development,'' which preserves the silver elements of the film and creates a heavy, lead-like texture in the image, giving it an old-fashioned feel.

However, when ENR is performed, the color of the blood displayed on the screen becomes brown. Therefore, Spielberg and cinematographer Janusz Kaminski used blood with controlled saturation during processing to bring out the vividness of the blood color during processing, so that it would turn red during development. As a result, even though the screen has a faded atmosphere, the color of blood is red and has an impact. This is similar to the scene in `` Schindler's List '' (1993) where only the girl's coat is dyed red in the scene where the Nazis demolish the ghetto.
In Spielberg's approach of emphasizing cinematic direction even within this reality, you can sense the resistance and pride he has as a ``filmmaker'' in trying not to let his work become just a ride-style movie.
