Insanum pontum,
Neptunus regut illum,
Instat Aeolus.
Juno wants payback,
Has Aeolus cause havoc,
Aeneas weakens.
One contemporary epic I found was the movie Saving Private Ryan. The first reason why this movie is epic is because it contains a very serious subject of matter. The subject is the United States involvement of War World II. The part of World War II the movie focuses on is the invasion of Normandy. The movie starts off with the United States invasion of Omaha Beach on June 6, 1944. What makes the movie so epic is the historical accuracy of World War II. For example, the invasion of Omaha Beach is in great accuracy to the littlest actions. The setting of the scene with boats, barbed war, and other beach obstacles is all the true objects they used in the real war. Also, when a Germany soldier taps is hand on another Germany's helmet who is fire a machine gun is very accurate because this was the best way to communicate since the great noise of battle. Next the movie is an epic because of it contains a quest. The quest in the movie is for a group of soldiers to try to find Private Ryan who is a paratrooper. They are trying to find him because he is the last alive of his family that is serving. His three other brothers were killed in battle. Finally the movie is epic because it has periods of upheaval. The first is the invasion of Omaha Beach. Throughout the groups quest to save Private Ryan there are plenty of upheavals to get to him. Also, the last scene is probably the best one because they have Private Ryan but there is a huge infantry of Germans coming to them. This is huge because there are only about 10 American soldiers to fight against them until the air strike and their infantry arrives. This is a great period of upheaval because they use great strategy to become successful and win with minimal losses.
