Brilliant but can't watch again.

Rating: 9/10 (9 November 2006)

Okay, first things first. This movie is violent. Realistically violent. That is not good for a movie. There are violent films. Then there are violent films that are unpleasant to watch. Don't get me wrong. This is a great film. But, lets face facts, you can't watch this movie more than once. It got to the point where I stood up in tears yelling at the screen "STOP IT, STOP IT!" Much glorified violence in the film which I hate.
Steven Spielberg in my opinion is a very sick man. His films always feature innocent people being slaughtered in some realistic manner. Whether it be being eaten, being vaporized, or being inadvertedly blown up by a bomb. Also it messes with your head big time. You watch the death scenes and you watch the Americans getting slaughtered and your like "Yeah get those sons of b%$*&*!" But then they capture the Nazi and he's only following orders. Then they kill him and you ask yourself "Well, who's the bad guy here?" Adam Goldbergs death was chilling and incredibly painful to endure. At which point I realized. He just wanted to make a violent film. After witnessing that over the top, violent, and completely unnecessary death I wondered why I was watching it.
This film emphasizes the horrors of war though. This film is useful. It is a wake up call to all those conservatives who are trying to shove American customs down Iraqs throat. Our soldiers have been suffering this horrific ordeal for years and why? WWII was for a better cause. This film is a one time thing. It is a wake up call mostly. but, other than that it was graphic, realistic, and over all very painful to watch. Unless your the violent creep who gets off with violent movies. In that case go crazy.
