Best war film ever... well kinda

Rating: 10/10 (25 January 2020)

Saving private Ryan is by far the best war movie in terms of unparalleled realism. The weapons, tactics, and verbiage used is all era appropriate and painstakingly accurate in terms of movie continuity plus the practical effects creat an extremely horrifying experience but this is where the film becomes pro-American with each American death very gory, and portrayed as painful/ suffering while German deaths have zero blood or gore and die with one shot kills or insta kills making a person feel more empathy for a suffering American as opposed to a silent faceless German taking a bullet and dying quick with no pain shown on screen. This creates biased feeling which a historical war movie should avoid, in MY opinion.
Other than that the movie is spot on for just being a damn good movie that evokes strong feelings of national pride knowing that men in similar situations risked their lives for freedom and to fight against tyranny.
The camera work is simply untouchable and can withstand any criticism. If anything the camera work should be applauded for its use of shakey cam for its combat sequences.
This movie is more than just a movie, it is the DEFINING war movie of all time despite having biases.
Tom hanks says at the end of the movie "you've earned it" and that's how I feel for the awards and accolades this movie has received.
Thanks to all of our service men.
