Fantastic, Engaging, Emotional But Still A Little Empty

Rating: Null/10 (27 March 2008)

Mr. Spielberg used all of his directing skill and research into the picture to perfect true war experience. A real feat for a man who had never tasted the terror and insanity of war before, even fire live rounds into hunks of meat to create the best sound of getting shot. Now thats devotion. The story line is a heroic one, a day for all American citizens to stand up proud on veterans day 60 years on, Yet Saving Private Ryan lacks that story line that delivers on all aspects. Maybe I'm being untrue comparing a movie to a TV series, but Band Of Brothers also by Spielberg is a better fulfilling, satisfying storyline, A company of soldiers travelling from Curahee in Georgia USA to Berlin. The ones who made it, the ones who didn't. You remembered. So Saving Private Ryan has changed war films forever. Thank you
