One of the Best World War 2 Films

Rating: 10/10 (18 January 2003)

I cannot believe that this film didn't win the 1999 best picture oscar, the film is so brilliantly made that it practically had it in it's grasp. But a word of warning, this is a different sort of Spielberg film. There are no aliens, no sharks and the film is not in black and white, but the film is VERY violent.
Ok, i've got that off me, the film is...brilliant. The Film opens at the D-Day Landings, which will be for me the best opening to a film ever. Spielberg re-creates the landings with such preciseness, the way it is edited, the way it is done...it is so brilliant.
The rest of the film is a story to save a man behind enemy lines. But really, the real star is the Omaha Beach Scene.
This is Spielberg at his best, yet he got screwed like ET! Damn!
