"Saving Private Ryan"

65.144.204.172

Still haven't seen this "Ryan" film. The whole thing of how war is adapted to film these days, that just turns me off.

While film "reality" seems to be in vogue these days, sometimes I like the symbolic, evocative approach to the war film genre. It makes the film story "bigger", and it delivers the "message" more effectively, than socalled reality.

I feel that it also, illustrates, and takes the great skills of the filmmaker, to utilize the signs and meanings of Film, to convey a message. It's easy to blow something up and show flying body parts, but it takes skill to convey it symbolically and with finesse.
