Unbelievable, thrilling, moving and ironic!

Rating: 10/10 (8 November 1999)

The main thing that I realized when this movie reached it's conclusion was that there was many occasions of irony. Now if you saw the movie, you should be able to tell what I'm talking about.
Besides the irony, the beginning scene was horrific in the gruesome sense, but true to life to the smallest characteristic. Whether it was people loosing limbs from a grenade while hiding or someone being shot down with numerous bullets while running away, you almost thought you were watching a real war scene.
It was also touching in numerous ways. One way was that you got so emotionally attached to some of the characters that searched for Private Ryan. When they were killed off for one reason or another, you couldn't help but get a tear in your eye. And if you didn't, you obviously aren't part of the human race.
So if you think that this movie is just another shoot 'em up war type movie, you'll absolutely wrong! It has a fabulous story line to go along with the life like war shots. A definite to watch and to own. GO NOW!
