Saving Private Ryan
Steven Spielberg won a second directing Oscar for his incendiary story of a World War Two rescue mission. After barely surviving the D-Day landings, Army captain Tom Hanks leads a small team of US soldiers to find and rescue a young private whose brothers have all been killed in action. Despite its distinctly American bias, Spielberg hits hard with an enthralling, based-on-fact war story. The hellish opening sequence is an astonishing experience in itself.
I hate to be the one that goes against popular opinion. Well actually it does not bother me in the slightest. Yes this is an extremely well shot film. Yes the performances are quite brilliant. Yes the opening twenty minutes could just be the best war sequence ever filmed. Yes it is gripping, tense blah blah blah. The story however is preposterous, like that would ever happen. Also, the fact that the British are depicted as incompetant or absent makes my blood boil. Done good, but not done right.
