Best Movie I've ever Seen

Rating: 10/10 (21 April 2009)

Never in my life have I ever seen a more beautifully written film. I've watched this film 20 times over and it still touches my heart. I always look for violence in a movie, because I believe it shows reality and this movie does just that with it's gut wrenching brutality. I tell people who haven't seen that they need to watch it A.S.A.P. Not just because of the violence, I'm not like that, but by the completely accurate point of view of the soldiers during and even after the war.
I am one of those people that is impossible to make cry, and folks this movie made me bawl my eyes out. The ending Tom Hanks scene is so stunning and heart-wrenchingly sad that I couldn't bear it, yet I still watched the ending. That scene is also surprising considering that the beginning threw me of guard with the old man in the opening scene, I thought he was Tom Hanks. (Sorry for the spoilers) Also, Giovanni Ribisi must be credited for his character's emotional role especially in the church seen when he talks about his mother.
Now to the violence, people I was 13 when I saw this film. Do your self a favor if you are a parent, if your child is under 13 do not let them watch it. There are even worse violent movies such as "The Thing." But the difference in this movie is that what happens to the soldiers more than likely really happened to them, mostly the beginning on Omaha Beach. I, personally, think the violence was completely necessary because we needed to show what our soldiers fought for and what they gave in order for us to live on as the ruling country of the world. God-bless America and it's men.
The language in the film is quite foul, but hey what would you be saying if you were being shot at by 20-cals? I also think the swears were necessary. Why? Well, I believe that swears bring out emotion and how you feel about situations you are in. I mean don't get me wrong if your child swears, by all means put soap in his mouth or whatever you do. But in movies, swears give us an understanding about the stand-point of the characters. It's also pretty funny to boot. The jokes in this are hilarious.
Anyway, if you are looking for the greatest movie ever made, watch this. Because I don't think I'll ever find a movie close to being as good as this. Thanks to Spielberg, Tom Hanks, and thanks mostly to those who gave their lives to keep us standing strong with the freedom we have rightfully earned. You will not be forgotten, ever.
