Yeah a weird reaction I just say he should watch it before he jumps to conclusions and about the point that it shouldn’t have been remade I have to disagree hard the old one is just that old they have a much higher budget which lets them use more practical effects

Yeah being American and seeing all the war movies being very one sided pushed me from war movies but this one pulled me back in i need to see all the sides every side has different stories some tragic and some victorious

American war movies to me personally just try to make the military seem invincible I’m here for a war movie not propaganda war is tragic American films are the definition of America fuck yeah

Agreed what I think makes saving private Ryan good is that it’s not all about the war it’s setting is WWII but creates a story using elements that really happened like the three brothers and d-day. Overall it’s just a story about saving someone during wwII not one side winning against another don’t get me wrong some American war movies can be entertaining and seeing actual events that happened like black hawk down being made into a movie those are fine cause they are actual stories.

Also if you like war stories that aren’t all about American there’s a YouTube channel called dark docs covers old war stores not just American but other countries military operations

Also it has color and has actual German actors although the original does have actual German war vets who helped make it more true to what they saw during the war
