yea, i know how u feel. Saving private ryan is sad as hell, especially omaha scene. But a great philosopher once said

- war cannot be avoided, it can only be misdirected or delayed. - Niccolo Machiavelle.

be like me and enlist in the services, you'll get a better understanding somehow :confused: .

saving private ryan is a saturday morning cartoon compared to "grave of the fireflies" and "A thin red line"

If you really want to bawl, watch grave of the fireflies!

"thin red line" sucked SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much ass. I was all hopped up for a fight scene and then they cut to a sunset on a beach! WTF! Stupid fluffy films.

Welcome to the real world. There are many evil people in the world and when they take control of millions of other people, the rest of the world has no choice but to go to war. Sometimes the only way to get to peace is to go to war.

That's an awesome quote. It's incredible how precisely he hit the nail on the head.

Kinda...80's i think. Roger ebert went so far as to call it one of the greatest war movies of all time.
