Hollywood rewrites history yet again

Rating: Null/10 (14 October 2000)

Steven Spielberg has such an enormous ego that he thinks he can slab a few cardboard characters together, make one of them Tom Hanks (who cannot act to save his life) and whooppee another Oscar and $200+ million bucks will come his way. Unfortunately, the uneducated, buy anything that is told to them by a screen American public justifies his ego by buying tickets to his films. Saving Private Ryan is just another war film written by an ambitious, highly paid writer hoping to slap a few scenes together with as little thought as possible and win an Oscar as a result. If this movie was released in 1999 it wouldn't have been nominated for anything. If you want to see a GOOD movie, go see Girl, Interrupted, Being John Malkovich, Magnolia or even Toy Story 2! They are all FAR superior to this attempt at saying to Americans "we won the war, with no help whatsoever, and we beat the rest of the world, yippi!" If Americans knew the REAL TRUTH, Oprah would have to extend her contract another 10 years just to talk about it with her brainwashed, braindead American housewife viewers.
