one of the most-realistic war movies ever!

Rating: Null/10 (8 October 2001)

the first time i saw this, i was so overcome by the reality of this movie that i almost cried with shame, and disgust for the human race. you may have thought this would have turned me away from movies like this, but it got me so interested in both great wars that i have rented and bought many more. after seeing S.P.R again, it wasnt so dramatic and gruesome, but it showed me the truth of what really happened. i never considered the actual experience of war until this. the great dialogue, and spectacular cast added to the experience. i mean, if you consider this, most of these actors looked as if they belonged there, fighting in the war. the only member of the cast i couldnt picture is Matt Damon. hes a good actor, but he cant pull off a war film. the rest of the main cast, Tom Hanks, Tom Sizemore, Edward Burns, Adam Goldberg, Giovanni Ribisi, and Jeremy Davies really did a phenomenal job. i have never been so impressed! this is a totally recommendable movie to anyone who wants to learn more about the cost of freedom.
