Most realistic ever

Rating: 8/10 (1 October 2002)

This has to be the most realistic war film ever. Everything about this movie is good,the natural acting, the realistic battles (especially the sound of bullets whistling by), and especially the storyline. Of course there are a few flaws, no movie is perfect, but they're just minor. The story here is really deep and straightfoward, 8 men> were sent to find one private Ryan. On the way they became skeptical and start asking themselves whether that risking their life for one man is the "decent" thing to do. Unlike BLack Hawk Down, also a good war movie, you have a sense of connection with the individuals in the movie, the characters build up pretty well. And sometime you feel for them, you understand their situation, and their state of mind. I really don't understand why many people complain about how Steven Spieldberg didn't show other Ally Forces in the movie. The movie is about 8 American men trying to bring another man home. That's why it's call Saving Private Ryan. This isn't a documentary movie about everything that happen involving every nations during WWII starting from 1939-1945. Otherwise it be called The World At War or something like that. So stop complaining.
