Beginning is most brutal part!!

Use app. Yes, this is a very violent movie, with very realistic depictions of violence and war. At times this movie is truly horrific, Spielberg refuses to cut away or turn the camera to spare you having to witness the pain and trauma these soldiers endured.
Definitely not a film for young ones - make sure that whatever their age, your kids are mature enough to appreciate this film for it's message and not just revel in the violence. Aside from that word of caution, I think it is an extremely important film and one that teens SHOULD see and come to appreciate the sacrifice of previous generations and the privilege we enjoy at their immense expense. This title has: Great messages Too much violence Too much swearing. Helpful Report Report this review.

This title has: Educational value Too much violence. Danny Danger Adult. I think kids these days have seen much worse than what is presented in this film and I don't understand people's extreme sensitivity around children.
Aside from that complaint I think the movie is a great watch and provides a realistic adaptation of war. Jeff P. Parent of year-old. This title has: Educational value Too much violence Too much swearing. John M. One of the best WWII movies and certainly one of the most well known. I first watched this movie when I was in 9th grade.
It was heavy, but I was grateful to have seen the model leadership from several characters present. I think it's especially helpful if you have conversations with your kids before and after watching about admirable character qualities displayed by the soldiers, as well as topics like Caparzo's anger and our heroes' flippant attitude towards German deaths. Good stuff. Really good stuff.
