Unforgettable

Rating: 10/10 (18 September 1998)

Saving Private Ryan is the most hauntingly realistic movie of all time. While sitting in the theater witnessing this extraordinary piece of cinema history, I couldn't help but think about what it must have been like that day, in Normandy. Although I felt like I was right there on the beach with the brave soldiers who risked, and gave their lives for us. This is a movie that makes you think. Oscar caliber performances delivered by every member of the cast, especially Tom Hanks. The story involves Private Ryan, who's brothers died in the d-day invasion, and the eight men sent to return him home. Eight men sent to save one may be unfair, but their soldiers and will follow orders, no matter what the cost. This movie has many very gory moments, but what else do you expect from the man who brought you Schindler's List and Amistad, Steven Spielberg. This is my favorite movie of all time, and I recommend it to anyone who can handle it. It's been said that war is hell. But I can't imagine a hell being any worse.
