In Reply to: Private Ryan: the sick joke. The new low for the US movie industry (yes, industry...) posted by Victor Khomenko on July 7, 1999 at 15:13:11:
While you have a right to like or dislike a movie, I must disagree that it was all unrealistic. I went to the theatre with a WWII vet and he thought the Normandy landing was right on, including the bullets whizzing past. The dead bodies, men getting killed all around you, etc. The rest you can take or leave. I suggest you find a vet and ask them what it was like, I think you will find that Private Ryan underplayed the horror.
