Clint Eastwood's recent depiction of the Japanese side of the Pacific war was fairly amazing but that also included vignettes and maybe that is the effect Hanks is looking for.
I would rank that as of the top 3 war movies of all time. No sensationalism while still exemplifying all the despair, sadness, bravery and brutality of war. I couldn't remember being more sad or affected by a war movie, which I believe should be their purpose.
