Still a great movie over TV Screen

Rating: 10/10 (6 November 1999)

I just saw this movie via HBO. I imagined that I could not take the full effect of war on a big screen and I think I was right. However very detailed and real life war description did not give me a hollow and depressing feeling given by other war movies - most Vietnam War movies.
Through the movie I was asking, "why War"? This movie gave me a feeling that I am not an observer but a participant.
I give standing ovation to the whole crew as well as actors and the director. This is one big, well orchestrated teamwork.
This movie deserved Academy Award and Tom Hanks should be given Best Actor award as well.
The movie has given me a chance to think about the human behaviors and extend to which our emotions and humanity could be stretched. I would never endorse any war-ideologically or otherwise. I am very grateful for Mr. Spielberg for making this movie. Men can create war and some same men can create art.
