The best movie, let alone war film, ever made

Rating: 10/10 (23 January 2000)

In my opinion, Saving Private Ryan is the best war film ever made. It is my personal favorite movie, and I will tell you why. Many people claim this movie is too graphic and violent, but the fact is that it is based on D-Day, an actual event taking place in World War 2. By seeing this movie, you get the experience of what combat in war is like, an experience you can't get from just reading a book. Many veterans and other people have stated that the battlefield scenes in this movie are 100% realistic, and the only thing missing is the smell of the dead bodies. I think Spielberg has done a wonderful job of making a good story out of history, with a great and original plot, believable characters, and realistic events. I suggest you see this movie as soon as possible, especially if you are into World War 2 movies like I am.
