I found it dull and insulting to my intelligence. If you're aiming for historical accuracy, you could at least get the sides right and have some British troops in there.mrpenguinismyhomeboy said:

he was that gi that got sniped about half way through the movie when the squade was trying to save some french people from a german sniper. the guy who had the letter to his dad and the clerk (forgot his name) copied it in the church. ringing any bells.DuplicateValue said:
If it weren't for the first 20 minutes, I'd put it down as one of the most boring films ever to grace filmmaking.mrpenguinismyhomeboy said:
It was so clearly made as one of those pretentious American tearjerking films that tries way too hard, deliberatelly made do win oscars (because a film about war always wins an Oscar by default).
In other words, I fully agree with you.

I didnt like Saving Private Ryan for the same reason many others didn't- it overlooked the equally heroic actions of the British and Canadians who fought on the beaches and in the fields of Northern France. Respect is due to the Americans who fought but there were three other beach landings (Sword, Gold and Juno) and hundreds of engagements involving the troops of the other Allied nations. Letters from Iwo Jima, Flags of our Fathers, Apocalypse Now, Full Metal Jacket, fine these were American only wars (apart from the Australians and Kiwis in 'Nam) but the key issue there is that it wasnt just the Americans who won WWII no matter how much films and games and books try to tell us. It was the work of many nations united against a common enemy. Not acknowledging that fact is what reduced Shaving Ryan's Privates to junk in my eyes.

On-Topic: Meh. I've never watched Saving Private Ryan. I started, but then I fell asleep because it was a snoozefest.

yeah, thought it was a better representation than saving private ryan. i even have the Box set of the Series =DSmack-Ferret said:
I liked it at first, but ultimately grew tired of it as well, mainly because its infused with Spielberg's brand of over the top melodrama. If you want to see a good WWII program, watch "Band of Brothers" - it's infinitely better than "Ryan" in every possible way.
