Greatest War Film Of All Time

Rating: 9/10 (17 May 2018)

This film is amazing. Spielberg is able to create suspense in Saving Private Ryan like no other. Keep you on the edge of your seat with every muscle in your body tenses up.
The opening scene of the storming of the beach is an iconic moment in cinema and becomes the measuring stick of how to open a film. This particular scene has been duplicated many times in film, television and video games, but nothing compares to this films depiction of war. Showcasing all the different reactions people suffer in war and makes me thankful I was born in the time period I exist in now.
The dialogue is phenomenally written; being displayed during the scene in which they discuss their opinions on their mission after just setting out. You find yourself connected to this group of men almost immediately. The cinematography is beautifully shot and depicts the morality of these soldiers decisions.
I would highly recommend this film to even the most casual film fan. It truly is great and arguably Spielberg's greatest work.
