Must watch for Technical aspects!

Rating: 8/10 (18 August 2018)

Arguably the best war movie ever made. More than anything else, Saving Private Ryan is a must watch for it's technical aspects and masterful direction by none other than Steven Spielberg. The Oscar jury got it absolutely spot on, when they gave the oscar nod to him, and also the Cinematography by Kaminski was honoured. The great thing about this movie is the fact, the camera hovers around in such a manner, it places you right amidst the action. This is war, as it happened, bloody, brutal and relentless. The 27 min long, famous opening sequence alone makes this a must watch. It's technique was revolutionary when it released, and has been replicated many a times, but none so better than the original. Not without flaws though, Long and sometimes the dull characters can put you off, but still a must watch.
