The best war movie ever made.

Rating: 9/10 (22 September 2014)

Saving Private Ryan is beautiful. It's emotional. It's violent. And it's probably the best movie set in a war ever made. It is a truly epic. Spielberg's directing here is phenomenal. Every cast member give great performances, making every character memorable. The set design is also marvelous. As I said earlier, this movie is violent. And not just over the top violence that you may find in a Quentin Tarantino movie. This violence is very real. It's horrifying to watch hundreds of soldiers die in the Ohama Beach scene. But without that brutality, this movie wouldn't have worked. It needed to affect its audience. It needed to provide a realistic look at World War II. And it worked.
