if anyone brings up saving ryan vs hacksaw ridge i will lose my shit.

hacksaw ridge was horrible. everything was so unrealistic about it. tons of details that were meh.

saving private ryan sits on the golden throne for war movies in terms of deterministic realism. the dirtiness, the practical effects. nothing made u think "hey that is totally not how it looks or would act in real life"

that being said 1917 was not bad. I felt the "one long scene" thing was a bit too much, it took away from the story. some things coulda been transitioned or cut better, but they forced the "one long scene" technique in.

fury was very unrealistic too. very hollywood cheese.

i recently watched platoon. i cant believe i never seen that. sure it's got 1980's effects which suck shit LOL. but ignoring those things, it was a very good story about the internal struggles of a solider. they did a very good job of showing the "grime" and how mother nature is also your enemy, and probably your enemy 99% of the time you're at war. if the enemy doesnt get you, mother nature will.
