masterpiece! the best war movie ever

Rating: 10/10 (1 June 2004)

it has been said a lot of times about this film showing the truth about war. yes, there are splattered blood all around. yes, some scenes are unbearable to some. yes, i saw that guy cry "momma!", and was disturbed by it. but it is war. here we see what soldiers undergo, what they encounter before we call the heroes, be it dead or alive. spielberg has a keen eye on detail, like the first part where the soldiers go underwater, where you could hear gunfire as the soldiers head goes above the water, then silence when underwater. i can't see anything wrong with it: the story, visuals, sound, all are top-notch. movies like this are what make directors legends, just like mr. spielberg.
