"The war movie to end all war movies"

Rating: 10/10 (14 March 2018)

The sheer gore and brutality of war was made more real to me by this one movie. I was only in eighth grade at the time, yet I made 5 consecutive solo trips down to the local theater to see this film again and again. I was truly mesmerized by the cinematic beauty and the realistic portrayal of comradery among the main characters of the plot. This truly is one of the greatest movies of all time. To quote the WWII historian Steven Ambrose, Saving Private Ryan is "The war movie to end all war movies."
