Most powerful movie I've ever seen

Rating: 10/10 (25 September 1998)

My father was in WWII in the Pacific, and at least two of my uncles were in the European theatre (both were at the Battle of the Bulge, one was a medic). I saw this movie, not to see a war movie, but to be able to in some way understand the experiences of those who went through the war. I thought this was an incredibly powerful and emotional movie which did help me understand why my father NEVER spoke of the war, as I know many veterans do not or cannot. My wife and I remained in our seats several minutes after the movie ended, we were both deeply affected. I recommend that everyone see this movie to get a realistic taste of the futility of war.
