Viet Nam buddy, cannon cocker who's position was overrun, and I went to see Saving Private Ryan.

Afterwards we just sat silently in our seats.

Then he slowly said, "The only thing they didn't have in the movie was the smell."

Probably the same with this movie.

To: N. Theknow

I saw SPR at a matinee showing in Nashville when it came out. I was by myself as my wife and I were in town for one of her work training sessions and I had an afternoon with nothing to do and when the film ended there was just complete silence in the theater other than quiet sobs and it was WWII and Korean war era vets being consoled by their wives. Very moving.
