The opening sequence of the invasion is one of the most gut-wrenchingly powerful war scenes I've ever seen portrayed in film.

When I left the theater after seeing this, I was following two elderly women who were clearly shaken by the film. I overheard one of them say to the other, "No wonder Sid never talks about it..." Obviously, Sid was there and experienced the horrors that he could never share.
