 stark and raw, yet personal June 1, 2008

Yesterday, I watched Saving Private Ryan for the first time in about a decade, was struck by the realism and the small character moments that tie the film together and make it great, and I find myself wondering why I don't know more about my grandparents' lives in this harsh time...and contemplating what other truths from this time I have yet to uncover.
Stark and raw, this film is, but what makes it superb are those personal moments.

One of the top ten movies of all time - hard to watch because of the stark reality of war. But a must see movie !
Great Buy

Saving Private Ryan was purchased to show in my World History class that I teach at a private school. An engaging movie, it kept the student's interest and engraved in their minds the history surrounding D-Day and the significance of the landing and following occupation of France in 1944.

This movie is not only a incredible action film, but is also backed by an incredible story and character mesh. The characters mesh together so well, that you love in each and every one of them. It pains you to see any of them go. The acting is the best i've seen all the way around the board. The whole movie just flowed together smootly.
Overall 10.0

The slow beginning may bore most people, other than that the story revolves around why a Military Organisation is never ever 100% efficient. Gore wasn't extreme, probably 2/5 for gory.
Not much extreme action, but when there's action they were great. 4/5
Story line is wonderful and believable. 5/5
Authenticity, 4/5
