War is Hell

Rating: 7/10 (10 February 2019)

Guidance: Film contains graphic violence and injury scenes and very bad language.
Everyone knows about the landing scene on the Normandy beaches. This one was coded Omaha and landed on by the US Rangers in June 1944. It is every bit as graphic and bloody as described in reviews elsewhere and brings home the horrors of infantry warfare.
However this has no bearing on the story of Saving Private Ryan. It is it's own little sideshow.
Once this episode is over only then does the mission come into fruition and the story begins. I was under the impression that the action fizzled out but that is not the case.
The action is no holds barred and there are more battle scenes evry bit as intense as the Normandy beaches.
The film brings home the real horrors of war. It is unlike the war films made directly after World War 2 which sanitised modern warfare and were very black and white in their portrayal of both sides.
The plot however is paper thin and exactly as the film title.
