Title: This gets two, instead of 1, ONLY because I'm a WWII buff
Product review: When I sat down to watch this film I thought I was really about to see something great. As it turned out, however, I sat through a 3 hour talk-a-thon. I can respect the opinions of those that think it was a smart cinematic move to listen to the soldier's stories, but I can only handle it in moderation. I don't really care if some private's wife leaves him for an Air Force pilot...I really don't. There were so many thought-reading segments I thought I was going to puke. Compare the beginning of TRL to Private Ryan. In one, a couple of AWOLers are caught mingling with Aborigines - wow, exciting. In the other, assault troops are getting shredded to pieces on the Normandy beaches. Not that I'm some neo-Nazi who enjoys watching Americans get killed, but at least it didn't put me to sleep. Well, feel free to rant and rave all you want, but this is my opinion, and it isn't going to change.
