Too much for me

Rating: 5/10 (16 October 1999)

Saving Private Ryan was a little to intense for my tastes, maybe I enjoy the sugar coating a little too much. It was an excellent movie, I just could not handle the harshness of it. After seeing it I was unable to sleep because I was so upset. I realize that it was very close to an accurate representation of the war, but I would rather avoid exposing myself to something as disturbing as the opening scene for my own sanity. The plot was intelligent and honest though extremely disheartening.
