The only movie that portrayes the enemy as human.

Rating: 10/10 (23 January 2019)

Saving private Ryan, top gun, any old war movie; this is the only war movie that portrays the enemy as human and capable of emotion instead of just faceless killers. look at top gun or most of their action movies and you will see an enemy whose face is entirely covered by equipment so that you dehumanize them and see them as killing machines. look at saving private Ryan and you see that the only German that is human eyes later goes on to slowly and methodically kill some of the main characters. this is the only war movie where I have seen an enemy portrayed as a particular human being capable of emotion in mercy.

That alone makes this the greatest war movie I have ever seen as it portrays real value of human life and not just that of the life of the protagonist which is usually American or British.
