We salute you

Rating: Null/10 (29 December 2003)

I was one of the few people in the world that had not seen this movie. Last night a friend of mine wanted me to see the beginning scene on his home theater. I heard so many people talk about the open scene that I was all for the experience in surround sound. I wasn't planning on watching the whole movie, but it was too late. This is one of many really long movies, but it flows so well and the storyline just sucks you in. I constantly kept thinking how would I feel if I was in one their shoes. I couldn't begin to comprehend how traumatic it would be to go through a war with all you would be involved in doing and the things you would see, you wish you didn't have to.
This is a really good movie, which comes to no surprise when it is a Spielberg movie. This is a movie about bringing a Private James Ryan home after there is confirmation his 3 brothers were already killed in action. This movie shows great passion and there is lots of gore. This movie doesn't glorify war, but depicts it exactly how it is ... ugly.

I would recommend that if you have not seen this, watch it. It is a long movie but it goes at an excellent pace. It is a touching movie with allot of graphic images. Allot of what you see in this movie will most likely disturb you. I just can't stress enough, this is a must see movie.
