Its hard after viewing 'Saving Private Ryan' not to feel numb from the experience. It's not a pretty movie, from the opening battle shots your senses are assaulted by the violence & terror that men facing death must feel. 'Saving Private Ryan' has raised the standard in presenting war films in a factual, non-propaganda style. Watch this movie & feel for all those who have given their lives defending what they believe as right, you just might realise how lucky we are!!
