SPR Is on my Top Ten list. After watching the movie 4-5 times, many years ago I simply cannot watch the first 20 minutes anymore. It's so heart-rendering real IMO. My late Father in Law was at Normandy, his landing craft broke down and sunk a mile off the coast. He was in the first wave. He was able to stay afloat and saved later. Can't bring myself to witness what our brave soldiers encountered on those beaches. The shots of bullets going thru the water and thru their bloody bodies was too much for me.
Spielberg is a genius and has that ability to touch our soul thru film.
Memorial Day... sad but honor our heroes...
