The real message of the movie

Rating: Null/10 (1 September 2000)

I don't have the time to read all the comments, so this may be a repeat. Besides being a war movie that tells it like it is, the real message to me is when Tom Hanks says "earn it" to young Ryan. The message to all the survivors of that war and to the succeeding generations is that many lives were sacrificed in order for people to live under a democracy and freedom. That's what WWII was all about. That's why we should never forget...
