: I am sorry you feel so left out of the recent movie "Saving Private Ryan"...perhaps the film makers in Canada can produce a movie more to your liking. This movie portrayed an American story, not an international one. If you would care to do that, why don't you come up with the production costs of remaking a realistic "D-Day"? True, America did enter both WW I and WW II later than our European "Cousins", and much bitter fighting did take place earlier than our entrance and participation in those conflicts. HOWEVER, in both cases-and historians of EVERY NATION AGREE-those conflicts would have continued longer and may have had different outcomes without the infusion of manpower and materials that the United States provided. Set your bitterness aside, work on your syntax and composition so you can write a script and screenplay more to your liking and stop whining.
: Well Hollywood's done it again but at a more costly level. ANOTHER thoughouly American film about American Soldiers who won World War II. Ofcourse the ignorant Speilburg has once again altered true history to spread and brainwash the younger gernerations. I am a 19 yr old Canadian who had many realtives on the front lines all over Europe and I am sickened by Speilburg's lack of history and utter disrespect to the many others from other countries who fought in this war. It was not a war for the American type of freedom but world freedom and I am tired of Hollywood putting out these terrible pictures with Americans running the show and saving the world. At least Speilburg when dealing with world history can lower his flag for a bit and think of all the others from other countries who died. All I am saying is that Hollywood has a responsibility to show all aspects of history not the distored, unclear one they are teaching people right now. And by the way American joined both wars 2yrs late and were not as big of factor in the victories over oppression that Speilburg and Hollywood would have u believe.
