Saving Private Ryan

SteelCity99 - wrote on 04/22/18

For Hollywood standards, Saving Private Ryan pushed the envelope concerning the creation of realistic environments of war violence, setting new invigorating standards and making unprepared popcorn eaters throw up back in 1998. I have always despised American patriotism and over-the-top melodramas with all of my guts, but a stellar leading role, a top-notch direction and excellence in technical effects make up for the film's principal flaws, including Spielberg's overabundant optimism that always made American audiences feel proud of their war achievements in the field, like if they were the saviors of the world.

Oh, and no matter how much you dislike it, this film is still influential.

85/100
