It's one of those movies where you can only see it once b/c it is such a strong movie. I cried only at the end and did I ball. I thought it was a good movie and thought it was very "real" even tho I've never experienced anything like that.
My history teacher showed us the 'beach' scene (the opening part) and I hated it. Too bloody and gutsy for me. I cnat stand the sight of blood, even onscreen.
We saw the opening scene in History too a few years ago. I have a thing for WWII but I just couldn't watch it. Knowing that men really did experience things like that....horrible
