The most soul-changing film I have ever seen.

Rating: 10/10 (29 July 1998)

After seeing Saving Private Ryan, I was changed forever. As a person twice removed from the war generation (18 years of age), my only experience from the great World War II were from films such as "The Longest Day" and "Patton", all seemed to make me want to make a contribution equivalent, as far as fighting for my country, but after seeing "Saving Private Ryan" I wish to make a contribution as equal to those who fought and died, but I no longer wish to endure that hardship, and that is a luxury we as a generation can enjoy.
