The first half-hour of Saving Private Ryan is the most outstanding segment of film i've ever seen. I'm sure you've seen it, the assault on Omaha Beach on D-Day, marked by incredible realism, utter chaos, unspeakable horrors, and gallantry beyond comprehension. It's on tonight, and the scene never fails to, at once, amaze, inspire, and sicken me.
I told Emily about the cemetery in Normandy, and how i'd like to go there someday. As Spielberg zooms out, showing the expanse of white crosses, Emily remarked, "wow, that's a lot!". Yes, sweetheart, it is.
