Rating: Null/10 (9 November 1998)

I can't understand why a lot of moviegoers keep saying that the plot of "Saving Private Ryan" is too thin. Any person who has seen a number of great films will realize that the plot doesn't really matter that much (I'm paraphrasing Hitchcock!!) It's the feeling you get from watching it and the characters that you can relate to. It's upsetting to see how ignorant some people can be, especially when there is so many great emotional moments in this film. And this film wasn't made for the Oscars, it was made for the soldiers, not heroes, of wwii.
