Eye opening

Rating: 8/10 (31 August 2015)

This (in my opinion) is the only film that captures the true nature of war. Films often glorify war. Saving Private Ryan exposes the beast for what it truly is. The first five minutes of the landings are the best example of the second World war for what it truly was. the sacrifice and the suffering that was felt by men on both sides and what the effects where on the survivors. As ever Hanks delivers a fantastic performance that is both believable and gripping. the supporting actors at first appear distant but the film creates a bond between the viewer and the men involved as we experience the same events as they do that exposes us to their incredible story. The film also stimulates a debate. Was it right for the lives of several men for the life of a last brother. Through this the film shows the true sacrifice that comes with war. Best war film ever.
