on Jun 04 2009 10:59 PM If we wanted to be wiser about the event s of WWII we would watch the History Channel or a PBS broadcast. That's what made this film unique. No political agendas or history lessons. It's about the men and the simple situation they were faced with. Find Ryan and bring him home. If you sat down expecting all those things then really you should give yourself a poor rating because you weren't a very good viewer. (Reply to this) |
on Jul 08 2009 04:17 PM You are completely correct, one of the few critics who actually understood this movie past the phony heroics. (Reply to this) |
on Nov 08 2009 12:33 AM Are you retarded? This wasn't about the causes and effects of WWII you dumb f***in sh*t. It's about one particular story in the war and what it does is tell that story. You're a dumbass and a pathetic excuse for a critic. Lick my balls. (Reply to this) |

on Nov 15 2009 10:26 AM Yes, did you witness the devastation endured during those opening 30 minutes? It didn't glorify war, nor did it associate the grim reality of battle with the glamorous lifestyles led by the stars portraying those brave heroes of World War 2. It was a graphic representation of the reality of war. And, yes, that does make us all the more wiser about this or any other conflict. It makes the youth of today realise the sacrifice that our forefathers undertook was not a pretty one, that the horrific reality of war is death, suffering and pain (not just for those directly involved in the fighting) and gives us many reasons why we should strive to prevent such a war from happening in the future. In response to your question, 'why did Spielberg make it?' - as a film critic, surely you understand that films are made to entertain and make money. Perhaps some other underlying considerations may be prevalent, but in all likely hood it was just the money and entertainment. However, that doesn't make its image any less powerful.

on Nov 18 2009 04:09 PM What is up with pretentious reviews? The people on this site who gave this film rotten reviews obviously want to draw attention to themselves. Your review is muddled. (Reply to this) |
