    Saving Private Ryan 24 years later

    Very good film. There was another war movie released that year that I preferred though, "The Thin Red Line." It's the greatest war film I've seen and I've seen Paths of Glory, Full Metal Jacket, Apocalypse Now, Platoon, etc. To me the Thin Red Line was just philosophically deeper, funny thing is that the movie hardly has any war scenes in it. Terence Malick with that film, imo, established himself as his generation's Ingmar Bergman.

          I don't know how often legit amputees are used in Hollywood but SS put them to good use.

            Man, it sucks becoming a old fart

            One of the few films that if it gets played, I'm sitting down, and watching it.

              Yep

              They could have cut out the church talking scene, though.

                Meh, it's probably the biggest loss off life this mudball has ever seen in terms of man made carnage.

                To make it all make sense, I can see why men would seek comfort in a higher/benevolent being.

                Just my 2 cents.

                  We are all mudballs when compared to normal people giving up their lives for others.
                  That Higher Being don't care
                  Has the power to do anything but help

                    Probably talking in circles here.

                    I'm saying that the men that have seen the atrocities of full on war might have took some comfort in a "House of God".

                    Not arguing over it.

                    Not saying your wrong.
