Good but normal movie -- cannot live up to its high reputation

Rating: 7/10 (21 January 2001)

To me, it only deserve a score of 8 out of 10 at most. The story is not so great, not so moving, though it is a good movie to watch. Since so much people ranked it so highly, I guess the reasons are: too big a time lap between WWII and the start of millennium, and too much of the movie copied by various other movies.
