WW2, As real as it gets

Rating: 10/10 (18 June 2007)

Being a history genius, I have seen many war movies in my day, but none have really put it all out there as this movie did. Steven Speidberg didn't hold anything back in this movie, especially in the beginning scenes into the breach. This movie was made as a testament to the greatest generation that ever lived, and to the greatest army unit that ever lived, the 1st army rangers, to believe these men climbed up 100ft cliffs, with MG-42 machine gun fire pouring down on them, and all the time, all the Germans had to do was roll boulders down on theme, and cut their lines, but they still made it up the cliffs to destroy the MG Nests. No other movie shows so many bullets flying around and so much constant action going all around you in all angles, from people trying to find there very own body parts from the many that are lying around from other men, just the beginning 40 minutes of this movie will give you all you can really handle, because your thinking how many GI's can possibly survive just the invasion of the beaches. Not only that, but you feel so helpless for the GI's because if they don't take the beach, they are in a world of s*** because there is no where to retreat to, in this moment in history, the world came to suspenseful pause to watch which superpower was going to be the big boy on the block, wethere it was Germany's Fascism, or Americas Democracy. I am just tallking about the first 40 minutes, now its your job to see the whole movie, trust me, you will not be disappointed, I personally see this movie minimally, once every 3-4 weeks, and yes that bayonet seen with Pvt. Mellish is heart-breaking, the drama is classic, as you see Mellish breath slower, and slower, as that bayonet slides further and further into his heart and then he twitches less and less, and all the while his scared bastard comrade upham is hiding shi**** his pants off, man what a thrill ride this movie is, it is said to make grown men slightly break a tear, and for all you real WW2 fans go and invest in Medal of Honor: Airborne, it looks like the next generation in WW2 Combat, the realism and the graphics are unmatched.
