Yeah, the opening battle was really harrowing. It is a shame the made the end all, "I'm going to stick with my friends, and we'll fight against the near impossible odds" type thing.

the omaha beach scene had to be the bloodiest part of the movie.

I agree about the ending.
Most of the movie was realistic.
It was a powerfull movie, right
up to when it turned to cheeze.

What I didn't like about it was the fact that there didn't at any point appear to be any british or french soldiers around. The film did kind of give the impression that it was the Americans versus the Germans in the war...

true, but if i remeber right, the freed french forces didnt make their appearence into the war until some time after d-day. the story was also based on a rescue mission of an american soldier. there wouldnt be any point in bothering the rest of the allies for one soldier.

k saving private rhyan is a very entertaining movie but on the other hand it did win the lights, camera, bull**** award and came at number 1 (u571 came 3 but dont even get me started on that yet)Why? Well lets put all the paramiters together.
What speilberg failed to put into this movie all because of american pride:
-He failed to show the attempted bombing on the bunkers the night before by the americans. The americans hit a farm and some feilds they completely missed thier targets.
-he failed to state that the british offered the americans an aquadic tank that were amoured to the core and amfibious, flamethrower tanks, flailing tanks able to destroy mines,and we also offered them a 17 powder gun to fit to thier shermans which would of bin able to take out any germany tank.
-they failed to state that american, british and canadian forces took part in the bloody assualt of d day
-and they also failed to state that the british had the sword sector of the shores of france and that was the most sucsessful invasion of them all.
-and lets not forget the fact that ol speilberg totally ignored the fact that ww2 was mostly fought by hitlers forces n your grandad
-He didnt even show the britishness of the royal navy men who drove the landing tanks to shore!

U571, what was wrong with that?  LOL. yeah, I know the issues with that one, nothing like re-writing history to make a movie marketable!!

Yes, but you find it extremely boring if it was dead on acurate.

In some cases maybe, but simple things, like having a US sub capture the enigma machine when it was actually the brits that did it, would not have made any differnce to the film.

a movie's purpous is to provide entertainment to people. not to give credit to the nations involved.

On the war film theme, Black Hawk Down was made pretty accurately to the actual events that happened. All the US soldiers that were killed in the film were killed in the same way they were in real life. I saw a documentary called "The Real Black Hawk Down" or something like that, and watching it, it was almost a scene for scene shot of the film.
Yes there were a few Hollywood changes and glamourfications, but on the whole it was very accurate to the true events.
