Saving Private Ryan is the most loathsome, insidious and vile movie in recent memory. Two words. "Pearl Harbor"

I think Pearl Harbor is a much worse movie for sure, but basically is an inconsequential piece of fluff or battle-porn.

Saving Private Ryan has the cachet of Spielberg and people take it seriously and neglect the basic flaw that is the film's premise.

It reinvents WWII as a conflict whose combatants didn't know WTF was going on.

I believe that's inaccurate, ruinous and misleading.
