Both “The Patriot” and “Saving Private Ryan” have some of the most gratuitous violence I have ever seen in films.

And in fact, I walked out of “Saving Private Ryan” when my hubby was watching the DVD. I said, “Tell me how -——, gets killed.” (no spoilers from me) He was shocked that I figured out the ending. To me, it was obvious from the first piece of celuloid.

I couldn’t take the violence.

I understand that “Saving Private Ryan” was taken from an event in WWII. The decision to get the remaining son home was made by General Marshall.
