The Greatest War Movie I Have Ever Seen!!! Steven Spielberg has always been my idle. I want to be a movie director, and hes the guy I want to be like. With films like Schindlers List and Jaws, wow. Steven has created possibly the greatest war movie I have ever seen. The action is as realistic as possible, the story is great and the acting is tremendous. Tom Hanks does an amazing job with his character of Captain Miller. He is a very believable character that kind of has more inside then on the outside. I have noticed that Tom Sizemore has been in just about every major war movie I have ever seen. He is a great actor with great talent though. Edward Burns puts on a well done performance, trying to be the smart guy of the group. Vin Diesel is in the movie, not a major character but seriously puts on a good performance. The war scenes in the film are totally realistic. We dontget tons of splatters and legs being blown off with a shotgun. There is a very realistic shot in which a group of men were shot on a tank with a Flak 20mm, you see their body parts scatter and the bodies react realistically. There is no wire stunts or anything like that, just pure realness. The camera style and editing were also done terrifically. Steven Spielberg kind of gives us the rough edge of most movies. Handheld cameras and "newscaster" shots make the movie look beautiful. Theres a lot of shaky and quick moving camera shots in the film which make it that more intense. The film isnt just about war, its about heart and friends. It deals with more emotion then it seems to show. We get a lot of character depth for most characters and you have to concentrate to get the emotion out of the film. Bottom Line: An amazing war epic that deals with characters and real life emotions that make a movie good. Captain Miller: I'm a schoolteacher. I teach English composition... in this little town called Adley, Pennsylvania. The last eleven years, I've been at Thomas Alva Edison High School. I was a coach of the baseball team in the springtime. Back home, I tell people what I do for a living and they think well, now that figures. But over here, it's a big, a big mystery. So, I guess I've changed some. Sometimes I wonder if I've changed so much my wife is even going to recognize me, whenever it is that I get back to her. And how I'll ever be able to tell her about days like today. Ah, Ryan. I don't know anything about Ryan. I don't care. The man means nothing to me. It's just a name. But if... You know if going to Rumelle and finding him so that he can go home. If that earns me the right to get back to my wife, then that's my mission. [to Private Reiben] Captain Miller: You want to leave? You want to go off and fight the war? All right. All right. I won't stop you. I'll even put in the paperwork. I just know that every man I kill the farther away from home I feel. email this review to a friend
