Pretty weak year...all in all I was not too upset with Shakespeare in Love winning. The More Shakespeare you know...the more fun you'll have with this film...and since actors are voters...it was not too too surprising. Saving Private Ryan despite the bookends of the film is the best film on the subject, intelligent with the Hanks character amd an insightful and complex aspects of field heroism combined with the most heartfelt spectacular battle sequences ever shot...even eclipsing the work of the great Kurosawa vibrancy of the Seven Samurai.
