Best movie of 1998

Rating: 10/10 (10 August 1999)

This movie is an instant classic. I loved it, it shows WWII in a very real way. It doesn't mention the atrocities of Hitler because they are already showed in so many movies, instead it show the atrocities of war. The first minutes of the movie are the most stunning that I've ever seen specially because its based on real events.
This movie show the soldiers of both bands ( allies and germans ) as human beings , this is refreshing because most war movies pictures one side as pure evil. and the other side as the good guys, Specially WWII movies but this movie shows that not all german soldiers were jew-hating Hitler-loving killing machines with no soul.
I liked Shakespeare in Love but I think this movie should've won the oscar. It has everything you want in a movie, good acting, good story and good special effects. The main characters are well-developed and you feel you know them. If you ever cry at movies you will cry.
I would recommend it to anyone except children
