Re: OT: Movies I Have Seen Lately
Saving Private Ryan was about contradictions, and that is exactly why it is excellent.
The main question posed is "Does a humane act in a horribly heinous environment of war still have value?"
In the end- a wonderful contradiction... Ryan is "Saved" by one humane act (recovery mission)and returned to his family.
However, Capt Miller's other humane act (releasing the German Soldier) comes back to destroy him...
