I'm glad I wasn't there...

Rating: 7/10 (8 February 1999)

All since I was a kid, I used to envy the soldiers fighting against Hitler, and wish for being one of those attacking at Normandie in '44, but now that I've seen Save Private Ryan, I'm glad I wasn't there...
Speaking as a field medic of the Norwegian stormtroopers, I wish I'll never go to war. Because if it is as the veterans say, that the movie didn't come close to the terror of the D-day, I can't imagine the terror they experienced.
I sat the first half-hour with adrenaline pumping and ducking for cover, and the rest of the film my heart pounded harder than it has in years.
Spielberg has realy done his best here. I've admired his work before but this movie is brilliant!
