why do a considerable amount of people put down this movie?

Rating: Null/10 (14 March 1999)

I have read some of the reviews on this movie, and seen a lot of people putting it down as horrible. Those people obviously don't know what they are talking about. The gore was necessary in order to depict the real hell war gives. People say it's too much, but it is perfect when realism is required. The plot was based loosely on a true story of WWII and nobody should put down that the idea has been done before. We take a step in to the minds of people during war and their views, along the way they fight gory battles that are nothing less than fantastic. So people shouldn't talk when they say there is no real screenplay. It deserves to win all the Oscars its nominated for, all of them. Any movie going against it in any way should just back down. People say that it may lose Best Screenplay to either Shakespeare in Love or the Truman Show and I say they do have a great chance, maybe better than "SPR" does. But nobody should put it down. People always complain about the gore, but the gore is not the problem, the problem is the people with soft stomachs or don't have enough nerve to stand the violence. That is as close to real life as you can get. And people should just admit it. The best movie of the year, hands down is definitely Saving Private Ryan.
