I'm in total agreement on "Saving Private Ryan". It was pure Hollywood crap and very anti-war, in its message. The basic concept that a group of clowns could just wander around over the countryside and find Ryan was idiotic enough, the way they sat around on their butts the day of the tank attack, waiting until the last minute to send the cowardly weasel out to give everyone ammo was again typical HC(Hollywood Crap). Just like in a western, where everyone sits on their butts until the attackers ride into town and then, THEN cycle their lever action rifles, like they wouldn't have them loaded and ready, knowing that a gunfight was coming???
Of course, the very sensitive MILITARY EXPERT Tom Hanks was the perfect metro-sexual to play a military leader, questioning everything, including himself. Hanks is a great actor, but the movie was pure crap. Even if the story was loosely based on a real situation, crap is still crap. Wanna know what I really think?
