Nicely composed message from director Steven Spielberg on why he made the film. Two theatrical trailers. Intensely fascinating and almost heartbreaking in moments, the documentary brings us up close and personal with the talent who made the film and the actual soldiers who fought in the war. The documentary also features footage from two of Spielberg's 8mm efforts from his youth. It would almost seem treasonous not to have a copy of this DVD in your collection.
War is indeed hell.
It's not pretty. It's not supposed to be. It's supposed to be horrendous, gritty, and ultimately, numbing. There's no method to its madness. In one small insignificant way, it's like making movies.
