I know that I will probably offend some of you by my statements. But I believe that this most recent Steven Spielberg movie is one of his best and perhaps one of the best films made, certainly in the war movie genre. Generation X'ers need to see this film.
War is a part of the human condition and movies tend to sanitize the horrors of war.
This movie does not do that. World War II shaped powerfully an entire generation of Americans. When you view this movie you see why. There has not been a modern war that has so influenced the entire world as this one. This movie also enables this generation to come to terms with evil that Nazi Germany represented.
