To owen twistfield and Carmad 1990

Rating: 10/10 (30 July 2007)

You both are dim bulbs to say the least. The film is a fictional story and purports to be just that, why people keep holding it to a documentary standard is beyond me. But it's stupid to do that and displays the limited intellect of those like twistedfieldofvision who do just that.
Carmad, you are not a writer. And nobody who works in your ward on the psych wing believes your "I am Shakespeare" proclamations. I'm sure your equally impotent teen pal who thinks he is Napoleon and occupies the bunk above yours believes you, but consider the source on that one.
This film is brilliant and is one of the top 3 movies S.S. ever made. The speech where the General reads Lincoln's letter is touching and very appropriate. WW2 was the moral equivalent of the war to free the slaves. Tom Brokaw labels the fighting allied men of WW2 the GREATEST GENERATION. He is correct. And their humility regarding what they did for mankind's future is part of the reason that label is accurate.
