...ok so i was 60 odd years late but hey seing as i went to the normandie/normandy area i think i should share a simple fact with you. saving private ryan sucks big monkey bollox when compared to one ofthe greatest war films ever made... the longest day. its more realistic historically explains it better has so many hollywood stars that a couple dont even have any lines!
in the film you can see where our car was parked when we went to saint-mere-eglise. And its not a case of hey lets get loads of people blown to peices in the most graphic way to make money cos of its controversy and then put a thinly disguised veil over it by claiming it was to show the horrors of war. the longest day does this 100 times better and you dont even see any blood ffs! i think this was one of the first films to be 3 hours long and it fucking worth it. cos it shows the germans to be human like us and it bloody well states quite clearly that the americans didnt win the fucking war by themselves! and its got one of the funniest moments i ever seen im a war film. just wait for the bit where the general on the beach tries to convince HQ that there are some 15,000 ships heading his way!

oh btw if you ever want a chance to know how d-day really happened i suggest going to normandy to find out cos saving private ryan knows fuck all about it!

and there i rest my case... ah thats better my case has had a nice rest so now i'm going to put some paper in it and slide it under my desk.

old classic wwII films own!!! oh and the ww1 films "gunbus" and "aces high" own also

Dammit Mc-Bain around here we do things by the book!

Considering how I don't have the time or (esspecially) money to relive tragic events in history that I wasn't alive to even know about and how it had no direct effects on my ansestors... I'll just settle for second best at the price of Ů + popcorn

Thanks to God, finally someone says it... DKB, you are perfectly right about "Saving Private Ryan". That movie was as far from reality as can be, apart from being not-too-well made (the parts in German were not even real German, you'd think with a budget of some million bucks they'd at least be able to synchronize correctly).

I will get flamed for this, I know...
/me ducks and hides

If you want to see a really good and disturbing movie about the reality and cruelty of war, go watch "All Quiet on the Western Front". It is about WW1, and though it was made in 1929/30, it is still really touching, and it shows war as it is, focusing on people as humans and not as nationalities.

Until now I gave you the benefit of the doubt about your level of intelligence. This statement alone shows that you are a brain dead piece of trash the does not know a fucking thing about how things work in the universe.

WWII had an effect on all of us and our ancestors and it still has an effect on us today.

Do you remember the Berlin wall coming down? Did that have any effect on you at all? That was directly caused by WWII.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! NOT THAT BOOK!!!!
god damn, what was that guy thinking when he wrote that book?!?! i mean, the main character (i forget his name. Paul?) is in the trench and hes thinking about fields of flowers and grass then the next thing you know hes throwing grenades at the advancing frenchmen.

i know the author was IN world war I, but did he have to make it seem so boring?

the ending was sad though... he carried Kat all the way back to the bunkers just to find that a splinter of shrapnel got him in the temple...

CK - the fighting scenes in that movie were maybe realistic, D-Day and everything (however, I doubt whether it is necessary to show detailedly how a man's skull is blown to pieces but well...). But the movie's description of war as a such and WW2 in general was not close to reality. I don't want to bitch about details here... if you want to know them, contact me.

"All Quiet on the Western Front" - that book is not about WW1, but more about war in general, and about its uselessness, danger and stupidity. I guess parts of the book are a bit boring, I didn't read it but I watched the movie and it really touched me.

Saving Private Ryan was the most realistic war movie ever up until about 6 minutes in... or, 2 minutes after they pull up to the beach. After that, it became Holywood. But, it still disturbed the crap out of me. I'm not a huge fan of violence to begin with, and I could never stand war. I'm a big pussy when it comes to that, and those scenes enforced that.

As for the rest of the movie, they did a great job of painting German soldiers as targets. Makes you want to cheer everytime a bullet enters one of them and makes them be dead. Go USA! We kick ass, which is a euphemism for pointing guns at people and choosing to end their lives. Not a big fan over, sorry.
