The rest of the movie aside, I don't understand what it is you are protesting with the opening."The landing scene is pure playing on emotions with no art thrown in... all done in very poor taste with barrels of red paint needlessly wasted. I hope it didn't get any greens up in arms."
What on earth is "pure playing on emotions?" There was plenty of art that went into that sequence. The choices in shot selection, pacing, cinematic style, subject matter, and music were all artistic choices. Apparently they were quite effective since the goal of the artist was to take the viewer as close to the original experience as he possibly could and those who were there claim he was quite successful. What was done in "poor taste?" War and carnage are inherently terrible. Art and artists do not have to shy away from this subject to remain within the bounds of good taste. What specifically made this sequence distatseful? I must have missed the barrels of red paint. Where were they?
"***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."I'm not sure what you mean by "shameless speculation on strong emotions." But art does often play upon strong emotions. It would seem that Spielberg's "speculation" on the events were well researched at the very least and played with some level of effective accuracy. But I'm not sure what you meant by "shameless speculation."
