I consider Saving Private Ryan to be the definitive war film, it's an amazing movie, but I can understand the criticisms of it resorting to patriotism and simplifying the Nazis as the bad guys, but I stand by the (not too irrational) belief that some Nazis were, you know, total c*nts and thus there is nothing wrong with depicting that in film, I'm tired of every little thing in a movie being interpreted as a propagonda message when the filmmakers probably didn't even think twice about it.
Spielberg probably did think about it though, because he probably hates Nazis, and uh, why in the hell wouldn't he?
