A film of power and importance

Rating: 10/10 (13 August 2002)

Spielberg showcases his genious again. After taking us back to WWII in Schindler's List and showing us the horrors of the holocaust, Private Ryan brings us to the horrors of the front lines! The first 30 minutes of the film is uncompramising! The film does not let up as it shows us the brutalities of war, and in my view, the greatest war scenes EVER!

This is my all time favourite film, along with The Silence of the Lambs! I have had relatives fight in WWII, and this film just gave me added respect for what they did for me.......all of us for that matter! There is one scene that matches the power of all the war scenes, I'm sure you'll know what scene I am speaking of! It has no fighting, no bombs, no blood!
