Powerful filmmaking

Rating: 10/10 (25 September 1998)

This is truly magnificent film-making, and probably the finest war movie ever made, with terrific performances all around. I must say, however, that the scene where the German soldier slowly lowers the blade into the American's heart while whispering "shhh" was the most upsetting scene I've ever encountered...so much so, in fact, that I will never watch the film again. There's no denying, though, this is a great film.
