Saving Private Ryan - DTS Customer Reviews (10 - 12 of 37 Reviews)
Not really that good
This is one over hyped movie. Although the opening scenes on Omaha Beach are incredibly realistic, the remainder of the movie is ironically unrealistic and an ego trip for Tom Hanks, the lost Ranger. My advice, watch the first 10 minutes, skip the rest.
Surrealism
This movie is so accurate in depicting the trials and tribulations of WWII. You can see the horrors (FX) and hear blood spatter (using surround sound). I guess the intent of Spielberg is to subconsciously implant in our minds that "War Is Not the Answer". Another cool war movie even though it is anti-war.
Ryan does not promote nor condem war
War IS Hell and Saving Private Ryan shows this. This film shows the nasty details of war while at the same time graphicly exhibiting the unwanted necessity of a just war to combat evil. My father was in VietNam and he said this is the most accurate representation of combat he has ever seen. For him this film brought back nightmares he hasn't had in 20 years but, he believes this film shows the honor of the doing the right thing at the right time. In the perverse world of war there is true honor and heroism. Anyone who cannot understand that war is sometimes necessary to defend good against evil is absolutely ignorant of history. Private Ryan displays good vs. evil at it's best. Recommended A++++++++++++++++++++++++
