what the-!?

Rating: 5/10 (11 August 2001)

i just saw this movie today and i am totally upset about the beginning. in the first ten minutes of Saving Private Ryan there is more blood, violence,and gore of which are all terribly graphic. i am not against violence in movies because i love films that are hailed as violent films like A Clockwork Orange and Reservoir Dogs. but no one hailed Saving Private Ryan as a violent film its called a masterpiece. and i am bothered by this. they showed more bloody/gory violence in it than i have ever seen before. it makes the most violent movies i've ever seen look like kid movies.

don't get me wrong i thought that it was an o.k. movie but the plot was stupid and only there so Spielberg could make a bunch of long, violent, and dramatic WW2 battle scenes. Seriously, the US government would never risk a bunch of lives so that a women could not have every one of her sons die. it's just not likely.
now i know that the movie was trying to be realistic but i think they went to far. and the drops of blood on the screen itself is disgusting. Spielberg, as usual, messed up again.
