The best movie I have ever seen.

Rating: 10/10 (20 January 2000)

Saving Private Ryan is the best movie I have ever seen. It is one of the few films ever made that actually attempts to depict war in its actual, horrific form. All of the other war films feature soldiers dying "sugar-coated" deaths, suddenly falling to the ground. This occurred maybe 1% of the time in reality. In truth, soldiers were more likely to suffer greatly before their wounds took them. War is brutal- and this film depicts it very accurately. It makes me think very much about what the soldiers in D-Day went through on June 6, 1944, and in any other battle or war. They all helped to make the world a better place. My heart goes out to all who dare to change the world in such a way.
It is important to remember that the carnage of war was not only abundant during World War II, but that this happened both before and after. From the American Revolution to the Civil War, from World War I to World War II, from Korea to Vietnam, and beyond.
Each time I see Saving Private Ryan, I think even more about the sacrifice a dedicated soldier will make for his country, and how many soldiers are willing to do just that.
If you are one of those soldiers who helped to change the world by risking your own ultimate sacrifice and are reading this, thank you!
If you are one of the many people out there that does not care about sacrifice at all and saw this movie, I have no idea what will make you care.
