The most moving movie I have ever seen

Rating: 10/10 (9 August 1998)

I have never seen a movie so moving and so intensely emotional as Saving Private Ryan. The movie actually showed a person the horrific circumstances surrounding every death in the war. I began crying at the site of the young soldier with his stomach ripped open crying for his mom. And again when they showed all of the bodies littering the beach. And again when the telegrams were delivered to Mrs. Ryan. I did not expect this movie to be so intense, and I did not expect to walk away feeling so changed inside. If I never understood before, I now understand why the veterans who came back from the wars were so changed, and so different. Possibly the most gut -wrenching scene (besides the ending, which I won't spoil) was the scene when the German soldier was begging the Americans not to kill him and singing American songs. Anyone who says this movie dragged in the middle or was too sentimental or too mushy or too graphic obviously is not in touch with their emotions. This movie was by far the best I have seen in my 16 years of life.
