Saving Private Ryan..

There's a great video on YouTube that explains how Shakespeare in Love and Gwyneth Paltrow upset the presumptive favorites Saving Private Ryan and Cate Blanchett that night. Even though the man is reviled right now, Weinstein did an incredible job campaigning for the movie.

Because of the reliance on said technology, mainly cgi

It's so gut wrenching that I have a hard time rewatching it.

I've seen it once and only once.

The scene where the american soldier is begging the german soldier to stop, as he's slowly driving that knife into his chest is still with me and probably always will be.

Yep.

I admit I fast forward through the scene where the coward couldn't shoot the German and the gi gets knifed..

Only to sit him later.

frick it makes me so damn angry.

Movie is fricking fantastic.

Edit: it's so hard to too watch the scene with the medic taking about his mother just wanting to ask about his day and him rolling over and pretending to be asleep... frick man. The story just destroys me when he tells it.
