HALF A WAR

I watched the first half of Spielberg's Saving Private Ryan today.

It is too long for one sitting.

For me.

I don't think that I will lose the arc of the story as it is pretty simple.

The production is not simple.

It is impressive. Certainly a new level in war movies. Reality and all.

John Wayne it is not.

But, then, Wayne's producers did not have the money to virtually reproduce the Normandy invasion.

I will reserve further judgement.
