The War Movie of The 90's

Rating: 10/10 (8 July 1999)

I'm only 12, and my mom didn't like me watching Saving Private Ryan- because of all of the graphic violence. But just think about it, this film was so realistic, I'd see what happened sooner or later in a film in school. Except the fact that what I'd see in school would be what REALLY happened.
It also shows that you may be at war with a country- but you don't just wanna kill. It wasn't just like the United States sent in some bad ass UDT team of 8, and whooped Hitler's army. People actually died from the U.S., and they showed them on the beach of Normandy just laying there while being shot at from machine guns on hill sides. It just didn't seem chee-z compared to like some Delta Force movies I've seen, where a guy is left behind, so they jump 50 feet into a helicopter throw the guy out and luckily they have rope, or the tie something to the yoke to make it not move and they go down and rescue 'em. Or someone gets shot in the chest once and dies, while some other dude gets shot like 50 million times and ends up beating the other side.
