Saving Private Ryan

Rating: 10/10 (4 September 1998)

This movie's violence in this had a much more serious approach than in any other movie that I've seen. I am a huge fan of action movies (Face/Off, The Rock, and those types), and the violence in those is so overblown and off the wall that its fun. The war scenes in Saving Private Ryan are far from fun. They are graphic and brutal. That's what makes the movie powerful. While reading another person's comment, they said "this is nothing like real combat." I can't disagree with them, because I have never seen real combat. I can, however, say that it shows that war is not something that should be glorified, it is a brutal and painful experience, and besides that, it is a story very well told.
