A Beautifully Sad War Film

Rating: 9/10 (25 June 2014)

A Beautifully Sad War Film - almost sounds like an oxymoron because there isn't anything beautiful about war yet a film like Saving Private Ryan shows the rare beauty in humans in times of war.
The movie seems to be heartfelt by all the actors because each played their roles so emotionally - as if the movie was their reality. I guess that is what makes a great actor, they tend to experience or act out very well real emotions while making a film.
The ugly reality of war is seen throughout the movie and is heart-pounding action during those scenes.
The ending of this film will bring a grown man to tears... in fact, anyone to tears that has a heart.
9.5/10
