Incredible movie.

Rating: 10/10 (5 July 2016)

This movie hit me hard with emotion with just the first 15 minutes. The infamous opening scene is something you can never truly prepare for. Sure, gore isn't the worst for many. However, I remember when I first saw it at a young age I cried because I knew that ever injury you see happened to a real person at one point in our history. The thing I appreciated most about this movie is that there was not sugar coating anything. The people in this movie are mirroring true events, meaning that people do die and people suffer. You go back and forth on the reasoning behind the plot, which is sending a group of men to save just one life. It really plays with your mind. A group of men are worth more than just one, right? But what about that one man's mother who already lost three of her four sons? There is no right answer in a situation like that. Someone has to suffer. And that's what happened in the war to so many real people. This movie is a great reminder to appreciate where we are now. There are people out there to this day who are still suffering because of this war, while we live our everyday lives. I definitely recommend this movie to anyone (maybe not the younger ones out there considering the gore) because it is a great portrayal of history.
