Absolutely stunning

Rating: 10/10 (12 October 2015)

It's actually pretty sad for me, as Russian, to accept that it's America that made the best movie about WWII, but not us. But eventually it doesn't even matter. The main thing is - they managed to present the most plausible film regarding this topic, the one which dispels the myth of war's romanticism and actually shows the horrible truth about the war - terrible death, blaring perishing fear, hopelessness, despair, inexpressible brutality. The landing scene, from my point of view, is the paragon of presenting a battle experience. Blood runs cold whilst watching that scene. Generally the whole movie is watched in one breath. Yeah, one could say that the plot is a bit flimsy, but it's perfectly compensated by incredible battle scenes. It is also impossible not to mention the amazing cast. The personalities of characters are unfolded spectacularly. If you're into war movies you'll probably dive into the story and live through it together with the squad. And this is exactly what really terrific about cinematography. So in this way, if you haven't watched this movie yet you should definitely do it ASAP. I bet it would be one of the most breathtaking film experience you've ever had.
