GOOD BOOK

Be prepared to tear up, I did. This work is so powerful! Its historical fiction that takes place during world war 2(loosely based on actual resistance fighting events i believe). Well worth reading! (I dont want to spoil it)

Huge scale to the film

Intense realistic battle scenes

Amazing world War 2 drama

One of the best War films made, very powerful and intense at times. Probably the most realistic battle scenes to depict the D Day landings. A brilliant performance from Tom Hanks. Not for the faint of heart but a very emotive film showing Spielberg at his best.

Movie Favorite Watch

"I think this is one of the best war movies ever made. It covered the heroics of World War 2 which we’re all familiar with from the greatest generation, but it was the first movie to ever capture the absolute terror of being a soldier in the war. It was okay to be absolutely terrified during that world war. Every other movie is mostly about showing bravery in such an unrealistic context, it’s like every soldier that fought there died gracefully. But I know people who fought in that war who saw that movie when it came out, and it brought back a lot of memories and fears and terrors. You weren’t encouraged to get help after the war for the trauma back then. And that movie did more for a lot of those soldiers and veterans, and it is just great filmmaking."
