Forget the hoopla and hype about how this film depicts the "brutality" and the "horror" of war at its worst. what makes this film the classic that it has become is that it gives the viewer an uncomfortably true picture of what being a G.I. really means - the dirt, the endless stream of days and nights without sleep, never being truly warm or rested, constantly in a low level state of hunger, always being a step away from a bullet, a mine or an anonymous artillery shell or panic. This film gives life to Goerge Orwell's quote: "We sleep safe in our beds because rough men stand ready in the night to do violence on those who would do us harm,"
One of the Best movies that shows the US storming the beaches of Normandy and the losses we took to gain it. It follows a small band of troops led by Tom Hanks., going to find the last of five brothers who all been killed in action.

When this was released, the main talking point was the graphic realism and unrelenting violence throughout the film. Truth be told, there was only really 2 points where the bloodshed really goes over the top. The beginning and the end. The acting is superb and the cinematography is great, but if you cut out around 30 minutes in the middle, it would have been a far better motion picture. Just to prove my point, “Shakespeare In Love” won the Academy Award for Best Picture that year.

I said "not entertaining" because it's a serious gripping realistic story of war. To me, it's not exactly easy to watch. I don't think it was produced for lounging for easy entertainment.
