Realistic?

Rating: 3/10 (14 March 2000)

Saving Private Ryan (Der Soldat James Ryan (German title)) has in my eyes one of the most realistic openings in the history of movies in this genre. It shows that human beings are nothing more than beasts when it comes to war. But the plot of the rest of the film is nothing but absolute nonsense. That's where the "dramatic" part takes in. I simply don't believe that such a story really could have happened.
