"War is Hell."

Rating: Null/10 (23 July 1999)

An awsome depiction of the unimaginable horrors of war, Saving Private Ryan is a visual masterpiece. The opening scene of carnage and slaughter should slice through even the most imperturbable viewer. Sometimes I try to tell myself that I would have been strong enough to witness the atrocities of war without breaking down, but after seeing this movie, which so artfully put the viewer in the thick of the battlefield, I know with certainty that, God forbid, if I had to endure what these WWII veterans went through, my mind would have shattered into thousands of pieces that to this very day I would still be trying to put back together.
