Magnificent

Rating: Null/10 (4 January 2000)

I've only recently seen the movie and I had to stop after the initial sequence and re-watch it twice before carrying on with the film. The effect was amazing, just to realise the sacrifice that was made by young men puts life in perspective. To see the first landing craft hit the beach and not a single man surviving was just awesome. Spielberg is a genius you actually think you are there in the water with the blood and the bullets flying around (watching it with surround sound does make a difference).
After seeing the film (twice in a row) I found some Web Sites with comments made by GI's about what happened on that day, they confirm what I felt about the film.
Should have won the Oscar !!
