One of my favorites

Rating: 10/10 (1 August 2010)

OK, I'm a girl who is not a big fan of movies with gunshots and war, but I loved this movie. The first 20 minutes alone earned Spielberg the Oscar for best director, they are realistic, you can see and really infiltrate the horror of D Day, you can feel the despair, anger, madness and courage of the American soldiers. But what I loved the most was the fight of the principal characters for staying human and earn the right to go home after killing a lot of people, bad guys, but still people. It keeps you at the edge of your sit, wondering if they are gonna be able to find Ryan, and when they do, if they are gonna win the battle at Ramelle. The only negative thing I gotta say about this movie, is that I expected that a principal character would die and surprise! Tom Hanks dies.
Going back to the beginning, the first 20 minutes left my jaw on the floor. I'm not American, but my country helped the American soldiers with supplies and nursing, and it makes you proud of pulling something right "out of this s**tty mess"
Congrats Spielberg!
