Rating: 10/10 (26 August 2015)

Saving Private Ryan a film with more than 2 million reviews on this website so what more is there to say other than these words Thank you Steven Spielberg for telling this story to the world and making a memory for all of the world to cherish and remember till the day we all must die I mean what more can I say just unforgettable editing and incredible direction it is an incredibly powerful and restrained film and it is also a hauntingly beautiful requiem to all the men who fought for us so we could live our life's it is so haunting the opening 25 to 30 minute D-Day scene is so haunting and emotional it almost feels like it is June 6th 1944 today I am serious and the last 30 to 35 minutes are unforgettable both of those scenes are like bookends you have 1 huge set piece to begin the film and then you have 1 huge set piece to end the film the film starts with James Ryan as an old man and ends with him as an old man it is like a bookend. The Score by John Williams is haunting and restrained like the film and the film does not rely on the score so much but the Hymn to the Fallen is the most haunting piece of music I have ever heard and should be played at all remembrance services but is not why I have no idea! Just a unforgettable film and yet again like the Color Purple in the most unjust Oscars ever Saving Private Ryan Did not win best Picture Steven Spielberg won Best Director but what beat Saving Private Ryan to the Best Picture award Shakespeare In Love crazy and a disgusting unjust decision the worst decision the Oscars have ever made that and the Color Purple not winning Best Picture are just wrong decisions just wrong they knew they were the best pictures of 1985 and 1998 and they got it wrong so wrong the third time this has happened actually with ET losing to Gandhi in 1982 just wrong decisions! Anyway I want to finish by saying Thank you to Steven Spielberg and John Williams yet again you have directed and composed another masterpiece together and this film is a haunting and beautiful requiem for all the men who gave their life's for us and for that I hereby award this film Best Picture of 1998 even if the Oscars will not!
