We saw it a week or two after release. Wonderful movie, and we had little doubt back then that it would receive Oscar snubs as it certainly did. At the TV theatre, silence at the end then applause. Glad I brought a hanky.
BTW I simply cannot watch the first 30 minutes of Saving Private Ryan after seeing the movie the first couple times, another stellar movie. These type of movies are a stark reminder to many of us of the sacrifices so many made for us --- and that so many in this country take for granted or simply don't know.
Best country in the world this is - and we are so fortunate to live in one of the best (and most patriotic) communities in the good ol' US of A.
hmm salty discharge from eyes again...must be the allergies.
