Most shockingly realistic battle scenes ever made in a war movie

Rating: 10/10 (3 September 2010)

If you love war movies, Saving Private Ryan should be your favorite. The battle scenes at Normandy are outrageously shocking and realistic and it's beyond anything movie audience around the world has ever experienced before. Steven Spielberg's genius shines once again. His hand-held camera style makes you feel like you are actually there on the battlefield, in the middle of it all, bullets whizzing by, rockets exploding, soldiers dying in great numbers, as they are shred to pieces with all the heavy artillery raining down on them. It is quite breathtaking and also saddening. It is a story of a team of soldiers on a mission to save one Private, namely Ryan. Ryan is the last son of a family who already lost 4 of their sons to war. So the powers that be decide to do something nice for the mother and launches the mission: Saving Private Ryan. Rest is history. This movie took the war movies to a different level. Strongly recommended.
