Greatest portrayal of what it was really like

Rating: 10/10 (6 May 2008)

My grandpa actually landed on Normandy and told me all about it. He landed on Fox Red sector. He told me the true face of war until I literally saw it flash before my eyes. The opening D-Day scene is horrific but detailed in a great manner of graphic violence and gore. Unless you are not one of them (as I can) who can handle such strong intensity, this movie is not for you. It is a great movie and shows that there is nothing that should be glorified about war. Saving Private Ryan shows how 8 men will risk their lives for 1 after Private James Ryans brothers, Peter, Sean, and Daniel have been killed in action and Captain John H. Miller from the 2nd Rangers battalion and his squad is sent to find James and send him home before he is KIA along with the rest of his brothers. I give it a 10 out of 10 for a great story line and it even loosely is based on the true story of the Niland Brothers. It has won over 5 academy awards and on over 150 10 best lists. This movie is great for a WWII movie collection.
