Best war movie ever made

Rating: 10/10 (3 April 2000)

I saw this movie the first day it was out. I went in got myself a large popcorn and when the movie started I could not eat or move for the first half hour. This movie was so powerful that it makes all other war movies seem unrealistic. It is hard to put into words the feelings I went through while viewing this movie. I will never look at older people the same way after seeing this film. What we owe them is everything we have. Our lives, our freedom, and our way of life. I understand that this was an American film and I only wish that they could have shown a little more of the sacrifices our allies had to go through. I can only say, in the movies defense, that most of the younger English and other Europeans already understand the hell their nations went through during WWII, where as this was a learning experience for most Americans. We tend to take our freedom for granted, like it is a gift from God, but it is movies like this that show us that our way of life is something that the generations before us had to fight and die for.
