Spielberg does it again

Rating: 10/10 (21 July 2005)

First of all Morgan freeman kicks ass, best narration since opening credits of the Outer Limits and The fellowship of the ring.
Secondly everyone knows (or should know) Spielberg loves human relations (especially father and son) and this is what this movie is about relations!!! It revolves around love blossoming in the midst of war, and it's beautifully done and really touching! The war itself is really an excuse which is forcing them to band. What, who or why this war was started doesn't really matter (for all we know the family might have been Jews trying to hide from the Nazis) in the end only his kids matter!!
But the war is so unseen, so gigantic so unreal and yet with a sense of realistic chaos that it draws A lot of the attention (wich is not a bad thing!). Those are by far one of the greatest special effects seen to date that when a tripod's on your tail you become as afraid as the family and as caring that you'd want them to get out of there as fast as possible as if you were running with them... thrilling ride all the way!
Great movie! Needs at least an Oscar for special effects!
Kudos to Spielberg
