I just can't understand how can this film be so highly rated. This is absolutely the worst war movie i've ever seen. Poor and unconvincing acting, laughable 5th grade-like dialogue (especially at the beginning), pointless scenes (such as the french lady spot, totally unnecessary stuff), dreadful makeup (completely clean faces while hands and bodies covered in blood), such clear photography for a war picture, non-realistic visual effects (like the ones during the explosions at the end), the costumes could've been much more trustworthy as well. It gets hard to people who have watched 'Saving Private Ryan' and even 'Pearl Harbour' to swallow such a film. And the worst: it gets a 8.5 rating and it is nominated even to Best Motion Picture. Either I'm going crazy, or is this world.
