 Fitting Memorial for the Finest Generation January 10, 2007

I wanted this movie in my personal collection - after seeing it twice in the theaters several years ago. I'm not a great movie buff, but this was special. I'm also a military history buff, and have studied Normandy and D-Day extensively.
My father is a WWII Vet/Infantry Officer. He didn't land at Normandy, but was in two amphibious landings in Europe - Anzio Italy and Southern France. He never talked about them much - even after he presented me with my commission many years ago. After reading eyewitness accounts and seeing the opening scenes, I can understand why he didn't want to talk.
I think the other appeal of this movie is the way Speilberg crafts the interpersonal relationships among the men - especially the newby interpreter Allman who at heart is a coward and demonstrates it at the end of the movie by shooting the prisoner as compensation for his own inability to do his duty earlier, when it mattered.

This has to be the best most genuine war film ever made. No stops on the true horror of battle and men uniting for a real cause. Great flick.

Not only the best war movie of all time but the best movie of all time in my opinion. This is great movie making in everyway. The effects are amazing, the acting is brilliant and the live action scenes seem real in every way. Nothing can prepare you for the realism of the violence in this picture, and while parts of it may be graphic at times, it is necessary and fits well in to the film.
I recommend buying the commerative D-Day 60th anniversary addition for all the special features and informative documentaries. I had seen this movie many times before I bought it, and learned so much about the battle of Normandy and facts about the film from the special features on disc 2. The boot camp for the cast was most interesting, especially the fact that all the cast were put into boot camp except for Matt Damon, so the rest of the cast would resent him as they do in the movie.
Everybody should own this movie, it is a history lesson and and cinematic masterpiece at the same time. Excellent viewing.
