Re: Easily the pukiest movie of the decade

***The testimony of the soldiers who were actually part of the invasion that the scene made them relive the experience is good enough for me. I have never seen a war film that made me appreciate the sacrifice of the of soldiers as did Saving Private Ryan".

As I said... a shamless speculation on strong emotions. Spielberg is unfortunately good at that. I despise that.

Let's not argue here who brought freedom to Europe... let's just agree that was a mutual accomplishment. As far as me being a Euro apologist - tell it to those who know my from the Outside.

But being an American and and American patriot doesn't mean one has to swallow garbage, and SPR is such garbage at several levels. It is built on worn out cliche's and cheap effects - like that miraculous shot by our sniper. When the director feels the need for such idiotic measures you can be sure the movie can't stand on its own... and that one surely can't.

Yes, I consider Tarantino a wasted talent, but I am not sure what this has to do with SPR. And yes, Spielberg epitomizes what's wrong with Hollywood. In fact he is one of the most responsibe for its downfall.

Nationality? Not sure what it has to do with movie appreciation, but Russian-born American. A conservative.
