Far More Than Just Another War Film

Rating: 10/10 (31 December 2007)

This movie is a masterpiece. It is very rare to see a movie and truly be moved by it. From start to finish, you are so immersed in this film that you are feeling every emotion of every character as if you were them. The true underlying message is often hard for most people to pick out, but if you truly grasp what this movie is about, you will realize just how beautiful a movie can be.
The audio in this movie and the gritty, unflinching realism grabs you and pulls you into the war that Spielberg has so incredibly painted on the screen. The opening scene of D-Day is perhaps the single most dramatic and immersive movie experience I have ever come across in my entire life.
Unlike most films, every death you witness in this film stabs at your conscience. You truly feel the adrenaline of the killer, the pain of the soldier, and the sorrow of the soldier's friends every time someone dies.
This is perhaps the greatest movie ever made, even beyond the war genre. Every piece of this masterpiece is a work of art. The terrifying and realistic sound effects, the emotional and beautiful soundtrack, and the flawless performance by the actors makes this movie unforgettable.
