Still the best film ever

Rating: 10/10 (28 September 2004)

I still consider this the most powerful and emotional experience I have ever encountered in the cinema. No other film has come close to evoking that sort of reaction from me. The performances are superb and the the direction breathtaking. A story everybody should be made to see. Criticisms of the final scene are, in my opinion, unfounded as it humanised the whole story and made it hit home how one man's actions saved and affected (and created) so many lives. I doubt Spielberg will hit this height again but that's OK. I would be proud of this as my towering achievement. It's a shame that that the DVD did not have more in the way of special features. I would have loved to have known more about the making of it.
