My feelings about Saving Private Ryan.

Rating: 10/10 (27 June 2000)

The opening and closing sequences of this movie are the most realistic scenes about combat that I have ever seen. They convey the disorientation, shock, crippling fear, and chaos far better than anything else on film. Steven Spielberg is the most gifted director in the business. Tom Hanks deserved another best actor award for his powerful performance of the battle weary Captain, from the hand tremor to the thousand mile stare. This is a must see movie!
