A true masterpiece

Rating: 10/10 (9 August 2014)

Greetings from Lithuania.
I can not really say anything about "Saving Private Ryan" (1998) that was not said before countless of times. I'm just going to praise it one more time.
"Saving Private Ryan" is a masterpiece of movie-making, it's true. Almost no other war film can't take you to the place like this picture does. "Apocalypse Now" and "Saving Private Ryan" are the best war movies ever. Very different, yet very similar on the note of anti-war ideas. Now back to "Saving Private Ryan". The opening scene is ... well, you all know, it's a jaw dropping experience, and i mean, experience - for a 20 min you can partly feel what is war and how it was to a soldiers on that day. This scene alone is a excruciating masterpiece. The film settles then in to a journey through hell picture, it still remains unforgettable. No matter how many times you are watching "Saving Private Ryan", it grabs you from the opening scene and does not let go this the very last image. As i don't think there are people who never saw this film, i can just say, watch it again. It'a a film to remember, and to learn. It'a a masterpiece on all levels.
