Comparing and contrasting documents

Band of Brothers       Apocalypse Now        Saving Private Ryan

Those three documents are posters of three movies: Apocalypse Now, Saving Private Ryan and Band of Brothers. They all won awards and they all portray a war period, but they were neither directed by the same director, nor have the same layouts or starring actor. The first document, Apocalypse Now, has nothing, but the title, in common with both others, which have almost the same colors for the layout, and have soldiers in the middle. while in Saving Private Ryan there is a soldier in the middle of the poster, with others in the clouds, in Band of Brothers, there are lots of soldiers in the middle of the poster, with clouds above them. More contrast and comparison details must be given. In the second document, Saving Private Ryan, we can see a soldier standing alone with a gun and lots of bags. It may be a man who came back from war, the last survivor, and he may be thinking about his compatriots, who died in war. In the horizon, we can see the sun coming up, so we can say a new day is starting, and the soldier’s walking to the night, to his country. All that makes me think that the soldier must be feeling very miserable, lost, alone, and shocked. We can also think that that soldier is actually Ryan, who is going to be saved by the others soldiers, in the clouds.
