Wow. This is the best war movie of all time.

Rating: 10/10 (8 October 2015)

This movies opening scene is one of the most brutal, horrific, yet accurate representations of war I have seen. This scene sets the mood for the whole movie. While the rest of the movie is not quite as intense, it quickly involves you in the characters and you sympathize with them because of what they have endured. You truly care for them and are interested in their well being. The realization that what they have experienced is only the beginning of the story is a grim one indeed. The war is not over, and thus it is not finished shaping the men in focus. They will be molded and formed in innumerable ways as the war takes a hold of their psyche and their lives. In conclusion, I believe this is the best war movie of all time and one of if not Steven Spielberg's best films.
