Re: Easily the pukiest movie of the decade

You obviously missed the purpose of the Normandy invasion. The purpose was not to create "art", but to make you feel, as close as you can be without being shot at, as though you part of the battle. 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". That is a good thing. That Speilberg was able to accomplish this feat when so many film makers have not is impressive.

Maybe you are part of the European apologist camp that still smarts when confronted by the fact that the United States essentially brought freedom to mainland Europeans, and the film does not comport with your politics. We know you do not like Tarantino, so I would imagine that Spielberg represented Hollywood excess, so his work must therefore be dismissed out of hand as well.

Let me guess: "Schindler's List" was propaganda, and "Jaws" was cut rate horror.

You proffer your opinions, it is only fair you provide a little information, such as nationality, politics, etc., so that your opinions can be put in context.
