Before director Steven Spielberg's Saving Private Ryan left audiences in silent awe, Hollywood's depiction of war had long been dominated (perhaps rightfully so) by cynicism and anti-war sentiment. As early as 1930, golden age masterpieces like All Quiet on the Western Front turned their attention to entire generations of men haunted by the horrors of combat. By 1957, Academy Award-winning films like The Bridge on the River Kwai were dissecting the hopelessness and futility of the world's most brutal conflicts. In the 1970s, Vietnam ripped opened old wounds, paving the way for several scathing indictments of wartime practices and politics -- Apocalypse Now, Platoon, First Blood, Casualties of War and Born on the Fourth of July, just to name a few -- to examine the atrocity, madness and soul-crushing savagery of it all. Later films delved even further into the abyss, injecting injustice and inhumanity into everything from machismo-riddled '80s and '90s actioners to conspiracy-laden war dramas of the late '90s.

But Saving Private Ryan did something few other films before it had done: explore the impact, enmity and insanity of war without diluting the humble service and innate sacrifice of the ordinary men -- the everyday schoolteachers, teenagers, shopkeepers, fathers and sons -- who gave their all for something more pure and meaningful. In 2001, Spielberg and Tom Hanks took their study of the bonds of battlefield brotherhood a step further with the critically acclaimed, emotionally charged 10-part HBO miniseries, Band of Brothers. Disquieting and engrossing, it remains one of the most distinguished, cinematic, heart-wrenching television productions of all time. Needless to say, their next foray into the trials and tribulations of World War II, The Pacific, arrived earlier this year to tremendous fanfare and towering expectations.

Just as the Pacific theater of operations was home to a drastically different World War than the European theater, The Pacific is a drastically different miniseries than Band of Brothers. Not only is substantial screentime devoted to some of its characters' home lives and families, the themes that slowly develop, the battles that suddenly erupt, the challenges that emerge and the situations the soldiers find themselves in prove to be as unpredictable as the details of the lesser known Pacific War. Based on four separate WWII memoirs -- PFC Robert Leckie's "Helmet for My Pillow," PFC Chuck Tatum's "Red Blood, Black Sand: with John Basilone on Iwo Jima," Corporal Eugene Sledge's "With the Old Breed: At Peleliu and Okinawa" and his followup, "China Marine: An Infantryman's Life after World War II" -- The Pacific follows Sledge (played brilliantly by The Social Network's Joseph Mazzello), Leckie (Rubicon's James Badge Dale) and Gunnery Sergeant John Basilone (Homicide: Life on the Street's Jon Seda) into the fray, and focuses on a number of pivotal but bloody battles at Guadalcanal, Cape Gloucester, Peleliu, Iwo Jima, Okinawa and other Pacific theater hotspots.

It isn't easy to watch The Pacific. More a nine-hour, ten-part film than a traditional television miniseries, it paints a visceral, violent picture of a fierce, widespread stage of World War II often overshadowed by the Allies' efforts in Germany and Greater Europe. And if The Pacific makes any one thing painfully clear, it's that the blood spilled on the sun-streaked beaches of the Pacific was just as costly as the blood spilled at Bastogne and Berlin. Like Band of Brothers, The Pacific weighed heavily on my mind after each episode. There are moments of such startling sadness, poignant strokes of such raw human frailty, unsettling scenes of such terrible tragedy that I was grateful to have a week between each broadcast. While a sense of grand purpose and noble determination propels the soldiers forward, the injuries, deaths, sacrifices and shaken spirits that litter the screen are as overwhelming as they are moving. I found it all too easy to forget I was watching a cast of talented actors; to forget that I was being treated to a sprawling HBO production; to forget I was privy to a stirring technical achievement in which no expense was spared. Mazzello, Dale and Seda became Sledge, Leckie and Basilone. Their fellow soldiers were suddenly living and breathing the salty air of the Pacific. Fallen heroes cried very real cries before dying very real deaths. Fear rose and bravery surged, men fought and bled, lines were drawn and enemies routed. If nothing else, The Pacific is an utterly absorbing, wholly realistic experience worthy of its lineage.

It's a humbling trek as well. Of all the wars the world has waged, World War II is perhaps the most dignified. Diverse nations banding together to defeat a monstrous force; men from all walks of life fighting and bleeding under the same banner of justice; allies managing to put aside their differences to accomplish a single task. It's this same subtle nobility that permeates The Pacific. Sledge, Leckie, Basilone and their fellow soldiers are far from perfect heroes. Flawed, fallible and all too mortal, they struggle to hold onto the remnants of their war-torn humanity, frequently fail each other and occasionally wallow in ego and self-interest. But it's their drive and ability to overcome their baser natures that makes each one such a fascinating character. Likewise, the Marines' larger battles, strategic decisions and willingness to adapt makes each skirmish an intense encounter, each defeat a bitter loss, each quiet reflection a thought-provoking respite and each hard-fought victory a palpable relief. Like Saving Private Ryan and Band of Brothers, The Pacific never turns a blind eye to the mercilessness and atrocities of war, but also doesn't ignore the fact that even the most unspeakable horrors can sharpen the least among us, mold boys into men and transform soldiers into brothers.

Is it as gripping as Band of Brothers? Not quite. A slightly slower start and some initial distractions (mainly involving scenes that take place in the US) will require more patience from those anxious to sink into The Pacific. That being said, it isn't long before the miniseries gains its footing and drags its audience into hell with Sledge, Leckie and Basilone. By the time the Marines landed at Iwo Jima and Okinawa, I was entranced. By the time the story drew to a close, I was grateful to have been given such a gritty glimpse into a crucial theater of WWII I knew very little about. I doubt I'll return to its ten episodes as often as I revisit Band of Brothers and Saving Private Ryan, but The Pacific has earned a coveted place among the treasured war films and television miniseries in my collection.

Saving Private Ryan (1998)

Saving Private Ryan (1998)

No film before has ever captured the destructive nature of war to this magnitude, and few have exemplified the rousing spirit of man to a degree that encapsulates the essence of the human condition through both the complexities of the soul and the base elements of his very existence via the prism of the crisis that is the firsthand experience of the most destructive of forces. Saving Private Ryan perfectly displays both, Director Steven Spielberg's 1998 epic World War II picture a heartbreaking portrayal of the horrors of war but also an uplifting saga of the dedication to duty; the value of life; the unwavering spirit of freedom; the brotherhood amongst men; the courage to overcome all; and perhaps most importantly, the willingness to make the greatest of sacrifices in the name of honor, principles, and friendship.

No film before has ever captured the destructive nature of war to this magnitude, and few have exemplified the rousing spirit of man to a degree that encapsulates the essence of the human condition through both the complexities of the soul and the base elements of his very existence via the prism of the crisis that is the firsthand experience of the most destructive of forces. Saving Private Ryan perfectly displays both, Director Steven Spielberg's 1998 epic World War II picture a heartbreaking portrayal of the horrors of war but also an uplifting saga of the dedication to duty; the value of life; the unwavering spirit of freedom; the brotherhood amongst men; the courage to overcome all; and perhaps most importantly, the willingness to make the greatest of sacrifices in the name of honor, principles, and friendship. Indeed, Saving Private Ryan proves itself to be, perhaps, history's most important film, not only for its graphically-realistic portrayal of combat but for the touching storyline and pertinent thematic elements that only reinforce the purpose behind the bloodshed and lend weight to the true price of freedom so that others could in the years, decades, and hopefully even centuries to follow enjoy in life what the men who fought purchased with their heroism, their unwavering commitment to their ideals, and for many, their deaths.

Following the devastatingly bloody but ultimately successful Allied invasion of Normandy on June 6, 1944, a select squad of U.S. soldiers -- led by Captain John Miller (Tom Hanks, Forrest Gump) -- are given a critical assignment directly from the Army's top brass: to locate and return safely Private James Francis Ryan, whose three brothers have all died within days of the invasion, two at Normandy, the third in combat around New Guinea. Ryan, a member of the 101st Airborne Division who dropped into France the night before the invasion, has become lost behind enemy lines, and the jumbled French countryside becomes a deadly haystack through which Miller and his men -- Sergeant Horvath (Tom Sizemore, Heat); Corporal Upham (Jeremy Davies, Rescue Dawn); Medic Wade (Giovanni Ribisi, Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow); and Privates Reiben (Edward Burns, Echelon Conspiracy), Jackson (Barry Pepper, We Were Soldiers), Mellish (Adam Goldberg, Déjà Vu), and Caparzo (Vin Diesel, Pitch Black) -- must navigate to locate Ryan and, along the way, ultimately come to better understand themselves, one another, their place in the war, and the value of saving Private Ryan and reuniting him with his devastated mother, all in the name of finding some silver lining in the hell on Earth that they endure at the hands of a determined and tough enemy.

Beginning with a discussion on Saving Private Ryan's technical attributes, Director Steven Spielberg has crafted the most potently-aggressive and visually-arresting wartime picture ever made. His purpose is not to devastate his viewers but to instead instill inside them a sense of the terrible struggles and absolute deadliness of combat while also immortalizing all those who gave their lives for freedom. His picture has engendered a new appreciation for "the greatest generation," a term used to describe those who fought in World War II but also one that should encompass all those who have worn, do wear, or will don the uniform and bravely face whatever dangers may come their way as they protect with their lives the advancement and perpetuation of freedom. Still, Spielberg's intense visuals only reinforce the underlying themes and purposes of the film, and the director employs what has become the de facto style for shooting wartime pictures, evidenced in later films like 2001's Black Hawk Down and 2008's The Hurt Locker. Spielberg visually accentuates the grittiness of war and gives the picture something of a handheld, personal, up-close look and feel; the movie is sometimes excessively grainy and sports a washed-out color palette that allows shades of green, gray, and brown to dominate the frame, and while splashes of color are readily evident throughout, Saving Private Ryan does indeed capture a more vintage era-specific feel throughout. Spielberg demonstrates an ability to perfectly entwine the superficialities of the film -- its primary plot and action sequences -- with a broad swath of emotional depth and thematic undercurrents, giving the film a classic wartime era feel while also injecting the movie with modern filmmaking techniques and special effects to give it a unique character that's only been mimicked and never quite equalled, much less surpassed, in the years since its release.

Although Saving Private Ryan proves a far deeper film beyond the horrifying wartime images it so disturbingly portrays, there's a reason why the picture -- particularly compared to its genre brethren -- is best remembered first as a tour-de-force of grittily-realistic combat while its more substantial dramatic and emotional themes often seem to go at least partially unrecognized amidst the chaos and directorial brilliance of its combat sequences. Certainly Hollywood had, with the Vietnam era of movies from the late 1970s through the mid 1980s, moved away from what was often a more reserved, heroic, and perhaps even "gentle" look at the horrors of war; while some films crossed over and proved thematically darker -- The Oscar-winning All Quiet on the Western Front from all the way back in 1930, for example -- the years during and that followed after World War II saw something of a glamorization of combat. It was never pretty, but never seemingly all that honest to the experience, either. For whatever reason(s) -- war fatigue, the physical and emotional pain incurred from the substantial loss of life and property around the world, the perceived importance of painting the war effort as clearly-cut and black-and-white as possible, and the effort to prove war as a necessary evil without showing just what a hellacious creature it is and can be -- Hollywood chose to play it safe, offering a string of films like The Longest Day and A Bridge Too Far that depicted "historical events" but never really demonstrated "war." With the era of Vietnam, studios and filmmakers began to find value in promoting more realistic pictures that entwined anti-war messages (hinting back to the era of Erich Maria Remarque and All Quiet on the Western Front) through the emotional, psychological, and physical turmoils of soldiers. Films such as The Deer Hunter and Apocalypse Now used the Vietnam War and the resultant negative effects on the psyche to look deep into the long-lasting implications on a man's very being both on and off the field of battle. Platoon and Full Metal Jacket also used Vietnam as a prism through which to explore the traumas of war, the former taking into question the identity of the true enemy during wartime, the latter offering something of a more complete experience that looked at the transformation of a man throughout his military career. Finally, Director John Irvin's grossly overlooked 1987 masterpiece Hamburger Hill follows in Platoon's footsteps by examining the fruitlessness of war, but the picture also proved one of, if not the most, graphically-intense pictures of its, or any, generation. Saving Private Ryan encapsulates the best of all worlds; it's visually realistic almost to a fault and captures the horrors of war like few others, but unlike the Vietnam pictures of yore, it doesn't necessarily speak out against war. Steven Spielberg's film doesn't glorify war in any way, but it recognizes what is sometimes its necessity while paying tribute to those that gave their lives for a purposeful and worthy cause.

Indeed, Saving Private Ryan proves a singular achievement in filmmaking by capturing a broad array of emotional themes while also demonstrating an unflinching portrait of the terrors of combat. It manages to do what War films before it consistently failed to accomplish, weaving several themes and styles together -- the gritty realism of Hamburger Hill, the patriotism and demonstration of honor and courage of Hollywood's "golden era" of World War II films, and the understanding of the effects of war on man's inner being as was often the primary element in the string of incredibly-powerful and Oscar-winning Vietnam pictures from years ago -- into a one-of-a-kind masterpiece of cinema. The result is a picture that's often difficult to watch on any level. Even those viewers who have seen the picture countless times may find themselves openly weeping even as the film begins as the foreknowledge of what's to come on not only a visual and physical level but, more importantly, on an emotional one, takes shape. The picture's themes of courage, honor, and sacrifice engender in the viewer a sense of the heartbreaking reality that is the carnage of war and an appreciation for those who laid down their lives in the name of freedom, both then, now, and into the future. Director Steven Spielberg -- once known as something of a cuddly filmmaker who crafted family pictures like Always, E.T., and Close Encounters of the Third Kind or rough-and-tumble and flat-out-fun adventures like Raiders of the Lost Ark and Jurassic Park -- proves himself with Saving Private Ryan to be, arguably, the greatest filmmaker of all time, and certainly its most capably diverse. No other picture in history has proven as relevant as this; it transcends its R-rating for violence and language as a movie that should -- yea must -- be seen by all at a time of proper emotional and mental preparedness, even by those with an aversion to its graphic visual elements. Saving Private Ryan is chaotic, bloody, frightening, and oftentimes emotionally overpowering; the picture's scenes that show secretaries typing notifications of death and the delivery of three such letters to Ryan's mother prove the picture's most devastating even beyond the most gruesome of combat scenes. Saving Private Ryan never fails to engender an emotional response -- and a broad array of them at that -- with every viewing that proves a unique but no less powerfully moving experience.

Spielberg and Writer Robert Rodat (The Patriot) lend further weight to the violence and emotional undercurrents through a wonderfully compelling collection of characters, each coming to life with a seamless performance from each member of a perfect ensemble cast. Among them is the mysterious leader, the stout and dedicated Sergeant, the devout sniper, the confused infantryman, the frightened translator, the devoted medic, and the Jewish trooper, each of whom lend a unique perspective to both the war and the mission to rescue Private Ryan. Practically each character in the film is written so as to lend them tremendous depth; while the nearly three-hour runtime grants the space needed to adequately develop them to a point, the strength of the picture in this regard is its use of non-combat "downtime" to allow them to reflect on and philosophize about life, their bond, and the war, notably as they recover from a rainy and intense day within the confines of a darkened church in the town of Neuville. Indeed, for as brutal as the picture can be, it's often equally tender. A blood-stained letter home. Frank discussions of lives past. Reflections on friends lost. Regrets. Expectations. Hopes. Dreams. Jeremy Davies' character, Upham, is the film's best, the antithesis of most everyone else in the movie. He's far removed from combat not only on a physical plane but from an emotional and mental perspective as well. He's a translator and mapmaker, not a soldier; his skills fit the mission and fill a niche in the overall objective of the Allied plan to win the war, but as to a more crucial element to the film rather than the war effort depicted therein, Upham represents the viewer. His is the most emotionally-unbalanced character in the film, and his frightened countenance and self-doubt but also budding understanding of the bonds of brotherhood, the agony of war, and the triumphs of the spirit even in the face of the failures of the flesh all come together to build a character that could be anyone in the audience suddenly faced with the terrors of combat as it grates on the body and disturbs the balance of the soul. It's not Upham's ability to, through the course of the film, find his place in the war -- it's questionable as to whether he does or does not -- but it's rather the character's ultimate understanding of its importance, his witnessing firsthand of its dangers, and his coming to terms with a realization that "the right thing" in the face of destruction and despair does not always point in the same direction as a moral compass shaped by years of a more traditionally-educated life in what can be assumed to have been a relatively peaceful environment, paradise, even, compared to the terrors he witnesses along the journey to find Private Ryan. Less crucial to the dramatic elements of the picture but certainly helping in its pacing and structure is Spielberg's keen sense for comic relief through the Upham character; the director manages to earn an honest laugh in several places even amidst the bloodshed of combat through Upham's shy and fearful ways, whether his failure to understand the significance of "FUBAR" or, in one scene, cling to Caparzo as would a small child.

Certainly a War film at its most basic, Saving Private Ryan's deep characterizations nevertheless engender a deeper sensation that can become lost under the intensity of the combat and the staggering attention to detail found throughout, but further examination proves the movie to be of far greater significance than its bloody and bullet-riddled façade might otherwise suggest. In the years following its release, Saving Private Ryan has become a de facto memorial not merely of World War II veterans of but of heroes before, after, now, and tomorrow who sacrificed their lives for the righteousness of liberty and peace. Abraham Lincoln's words quoted in the film -- "[the] costly...sacrifice upon the altar of freedom" -- encapsulate what not only the picture, but the purpose behind it and the significance of the heroes who perished in the war, is all about. Indeed, Saving Private Ryan seeks to honor those that have given all and, through their actions, demonstrated a bravery and courage rarely before or since matched. Saving Private Ryan is, at its most basic and most important, a human drama, a film that examines one of the most basic guiding principles of life and that for which so many fought and died: the importance of leading a good, wholesome, honest, and free life. The picture reinforces the notion that the sacrifices of these men cannot and should never be taken in vain; every day must be a reminder of their struggle to build a better world for those who would come after, who would rebuild, who would go on, who must remember. Abraham Lincoln again says it best in another address: "The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us -- that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion -- that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain -- that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom."

Special Features and Extras

All of Saving Private Ryan's special features are found on disc two, spread out between two categories: Saving Private Ryan and Shooting War. The latter (480p, 1:28:05), narrated by Tom Hanks, is a fascinating documentary that chronicles World War II through the lens of the film camera, the first war to be so extensively be captured on film. The piece begins with the U.S.' unpreparedness for Pearl Harbor and the unpreparedness of cameramen to shoot the coming multi-front war. The documentary looks first at Director John Ford's Oscar-winning short films on Pearl Harbor and the battle of Midway and follows to look at the history of the war through both black-and-white and color combat footage and still photographs on land, sea, and air, and the role of combat cameramen in the war effort, all the way through to the end of the war in the Pacific theater in 1945. The piece examines combat photography in both the Pacific and European fronts, and like Saving Private Ryan, it features several disturbing and graphic scenes.

The Saving Private Ryan tab opens up a long list of additional extras. An Introduction (480p, 2:35) features Director Steven Spielberg sharing scenes from the World War II films he shot as a child, his fascination with the era, and the picture's place in film history for the veterans who fought in the war. Looking Into the Past (480p, 4:40) again features Spielberg, this time discussing his research for the film, the events on which the film is based, and his approach in making the film an authentic recreation of war. Miller and His Platoon (480p, 8:23) examines the collaboration between Spielberg and Hanks and continues on to look at the additional characters and the attributes they display in the film. Boot Camp (480p, 7:37) examines the contributions of Military Advisor/Actor Dale Dye and the difficulties of the cast's physical and military training in preparation for the film. Next is Making 'Saving Private Ryan' (480p, 22:05), a solid examination of the process that was the construction of the film, featuring Director Steven Spielberg speaking on his style, the film's place in his career, and how the shooting experience differed from other pictures he's made; an examination of the shooting locations used in the film and the authenticity of the sets, props, and wardrobes; the work of Cinematographer Janusz Kaminski and the look of the film; and the importance of creating an authentic World War II chronicle.

Re-Creating Omaha Beach (480p, 17:58) begins with a brief historical overview of the Omaha Beach invasion and moves on to look at the authenticity of the sequence, shooting in Ireland, the use of Irish troops in support roles in the film, the collection of weapons issued to the actors, shooting the landing scenes, the realism of the shoot and the chaos of the set as an authentic military engagement recreation, the stunts of the sequence, the importance of safety and capturing the finest of details for the sequence, and more. Music and Sound (480p, 15:59) features Composer John Williams speaking on the role of music in the film and how it fits within the realm of the Spielberg/Williams collaborations, while Sound Designer Gary Rydstrom speaks on how the absence of music enhanced the realism of the battle scenes, his research to create the most realistic period sound possible, the process of editing the sounds together, and the construction of the sound design for the film's epic climactic battle in Ramelle. Into the Breach: 'Saving Private Ryan' (480p, 25:01) is a quality behind-the-scenes piece that features cast, crew, World War II veterans, and Historian Stephen Ambrose speaking on the real-life events surrounding the Normandy invasion; stories of brothers killed in combat; the story and themes of Saving Private Ryan; the picture's realism; Steven Spielberg's early films, inspirations, and fascination with the World War II era; the actors' physical and military training for the roles; the picture's legacy; and more. Some of the material in this supplement repeats parts of other extras found elsewhere on the disc. Parting Thoughts (480p, 3:43) features Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg sharing a few final thoughts on the picture's themes and importance. Rounding out this collection of extra content is the Saving Private Ryan theatrical trailer (1080p, 2:16) and the film's Re-Release trailer (1080p, 2:05).

The Terminator (1984): This is the movie that made a big break through for sci-fi movies!!!!

The Terminator is one of those films that no matter if you've seen it or not, you've heard of it, heck you know at least one or two lines without seeing it! This is the movie that blasted then new comer's Arnold Schwartzeneggerr's career, made James Cameron a name in Hollywood, and gave new meaning to a possible dark future that gave us nightmares. I remember the first time I saw this movie, I was just 8 years old and my dad of course walks in saying to cover my eyes at every "bad" scene with violence or nudity, needless to say about 70% of the movie he covered my eyes. Finally I got to see it with my mom and I was in love, this wasn't just an action movie, though it is one of the best, it had a story. To think this was all based upon just a quick nightmare that James Cameron had, he didn't have much money, but he had a good script, a great crew on his side to make one of cinema's greatest movies of all time.

Two men appear in Los Angeles in separate locations, manifesting in sudden, blinding flash-storms of electricity. One is heavily muscular; the other man, slim and wiry. The mysterious muscular man obtains weapons and begins hunting down all women named "Sarah Connor", using a phone book to track his targets. He successfully kills the first two of the three listed women. When he attempts to kill the last Sarah Connor, he is stopped by the other man, Kyle Reese who has been sent back in time to protect her. While hiding in a parking garage, Reese explains that the man hunting Sarah is actually a cyborg assassin called a "Terminator", built by Skynet, an artificial intelligence network created by Cyberdyne Systems. In the near future, Reese explains, Skynet gained self-awareness, initiated a global takeover of military hardware, and launched a nuclear war against humanity. Skynet ordered that a scant number of humans were to be kept alive in order to be used as slave labor. John Connor, Sarah's son, rallied the few remaining humans and led a resistance movement against the machines. After a grinding campaign, the human resistance was on the verge of victory; in a last-ditch effort, Skynet sent the Terminator back in time to kill Sarah before John was born, preventing the resistance from ever being founded and allowing the machines to win by default. Reese volunteered to follow the Terminator back in time to protect Sarah; after his use of the time transportation equipment, it was to be destroyed by the resistance in order to prevent further Terminators from going back in time. The Terminator feels no pain, has no emotions, and will stop at nothing to accomplish its mission.

The Terminator is personally one of my favorite movies of all time, I think because this movie really is something special. Yeah, the effects are very 80's, but for the time and even to this day, I think the special effects are much better than the CGI crud we get in today's cinema. This has everything: action, romance, horror, sci-fi, and even some dark humor. The reason why Arnold's "I'll be back" is so famous is not just because of his accent, but because you knew that something bad was coming. Kyle Reese's "Come with me if you want to live" is classic as well. If you haven't seen The Terminator, I highly recommend this movie, it's an incredible one that is sure to deliver entertainment to the fullest. This is one of the greatest movies of all time and I'm sure that you will not be disappointed, if you are, get a CAT scan.

10/10

A Beautiful Mind (2001): A beautifully written, acted, and crafted movie.

A BEAUTIFUL MIND (2001) Rating: 10/10

A Beautiful Mind's greatest achievement, in my humble opinion, is the way it makes schizophrenia accessible to "sane" people. The general public knows schizophrenics tend to talk to themselves, repeat certain actions and do things generally at odds with the norm. But why? It's nearly impossible for a "sane" individual to understand why this happens...and more importantly, what that feels like. Without this essential empathy, many people become frustrated with the mentally ill, asking why patients can't pull themselves together and just bear up. We express this same impatience with the criminally insane who act upon delusions with disastrous results. It is incomprehensible.

A Beautiful Mind does all it can to change that, and it succeeds. Unless you are familiar with John Nash's story, you probably won't guess he's schizophrenic until part-way into the movie. He's eccentric, abrupt, and highly intelligent, but doesn't seem crazy. His delusions are as real as reality to Nash, and likewise, they are real to the audience, who cannot tell the difference between truth and delusion.

Incidentally, I came across a review from a "professional critic" who blasted A Beautiful Mind for including "all that spying stuff that had nothing to do with Nash's work that was thrown in for Hollywood thrill." I feel bad for that chap, since he missed the entire point of the film. But that just proves Ron Howard's genius in creating a picture of insanity indistinguishable from reality.

There are some truly shocking moments in A Beautiful Mind. When Alicia finds her husband's secret cache of newspaper clippings behind their house, I was eerily reminded of Jack Nicholson's wife in The Shining discovering his endless, typewritten pages of the same phrase. The scene that follows, culminating with Nash's realization that his delusions are indeed a false reality is brilliant. In a moment, remembering Marcee, Nash has a flash of insight, and he finally accepts his illness -- ironically, through his intellect. When Nash imagines that someone is going to harm Alicia, he lunges at her -- and only through his eyes do we see how a seemingly senseless act of violence is a gesture of love, filtered through the smog of delusion.

Now my take on the acting: Superb in every sense of the word. Russell Crowe is incredible. I can't stress that enough. There's never any question about the authenticity of his character. Crowe doesn't rely on his elaborate makeup to age Nash -- his walk, words, and voice do that elegantly in the movie's end. Crowe will get at least another Oscar nomination out of this one. And, he better win. Jennifer Connelly is amazing as well. And when Crowe and Connelly are put together, extraordinary chemistry erupts, they just gel together, they really belong with one another. Some people have had problems with the romance part of the movie, saying that the way John and Alicia even started seeing each other wasn't very realistic and why Alicia would stay with John after he becomes distant. But, I think that maybe it started out as just a crush, you know, and the math question she showed him was just her excuse for going to his office and she already knew she was going to ask him out before hand. Maybe she's just attracted to the kind of person Nash is? Who knows? A lot of people are attracted to the "weirdest" things sometimes. The crush took over the fact that he sort of insulted her work and she still asked him anyway. When you're around someone you like so much you can't help but be fooled by them. I can't really explain it, but I can understand why she still asked him to dinner. And I guess if you love someone as much as Alicia loved John, then you would stick with them through anything. Even how distant he became, she still stuck with him.

Moving on, I think Ed Harris is, as always, great. Harris continues to prove that, simply because he's flawless. With delusions like these, no wonder Nash was torn between treatment and "spying."

Simply put, A Beautiful Mind is a film which extends far beyond the 2 hours and 15 minutes that you will spend viewing it in the theater. The characters continued to haunt me after the movie (and still do), thanks to the Oscar-inducing performances by Russell Crowe, Jennifer Connelly and all of the supporting players. They are not merely acting, yet are transformed into the characters, leaving no trace of a line between their part and reality.

Of course a film is only as good as a screenplay would allow, and the story contained within is written in a way that compliments everything that is truly great about A Beautiful Mind. Ron Howard contributes truly inspiring work to this film, and I hope that the critics remember him when awards are being given out.

All I can tell you now is that if you're looking for an emotionally-charged movie that will make you cry, but still filters in some very funny moments as to lighten things up every now and then, with near perfect acting, cinematography, directing, editing and a screenplay which will cause the story of John Nash to inspire you, then consider A Beautiful Mind.

I hope a lot of people see this film. Not just because Russell Crowe is a hunk or because it's a Ron Howard piece, but because you will learn something important. You will learn why compassion is an absolute must when dealing with the mentally ill. You won't glare at the next person you see muttering to themselves. And when someone you love is dealing with a disorder, be it schizophrenia or depression, you won't ask them to "pull themselves together." You will understand why they need your love -- because they are just as confused as you are.

In closing, if Russell Crowe isn't awarded the Best Actor Oscar this year, then my faith in movies and its rewards system will be seriously tarnished.

Excellent x264 Rip, Marvelous Audio Visual quality 

When We Left Earth is the story of mankind's greatest adventure, leaving the earth and living in space. For the first time this series has digitally re-mastered the original film and audio recordings from NASA's vaults, including and all the key on-board footage filmed by the astronauts themselves. From John Glenn's Mercury mission to orbit the earth, to Neil Armstrong's first historic steps on the moon, to the unprecedented spacewalks required to repair the Hubble telescope, these epic stories are shown in stunning clarity and told by the astronauts and engineers who were there.

E01-Ordinary Supermen: NASA selects seven men to become the first astronauts. They're all test pilots, prepared to risk their lives. No one has ever survived a vertical launch on top of a rocket, but it's the only way they know to put an astronaut into earth orbit. America's first astronauts, the Mercury Seven, are on a journey into the unknown. Six of the men ride into space, each launch taking NASA further forward in their quest to conquer space.

E02-Friends and Rivals: Nine new astronauts arrive at NASA; their mission, to test all the procedures required to land men on the moon and bring them safely back to earth. Each Gemini mission launches two men into space, leading to some of NASA's greatest moments -- Ed White's spacewalk, the first orbital rendezvous of Gemini 6 and 7, and Neil Armstrong's first space docking.

E03-Landing the Eagle: The Apollo program is set to achieve the ultimate prize of the Space Race, landing men on the moon. But a fire breaks out in the pressurized capsule of Apollo 1, resulting in the deaths of three beloved astronauts. However, NASA rebounds, launching men into deep space and landing Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin on the moon.

E04-The Explorers: Apollo 13 puts the astronauts to the ultimate test, returning a damaged spacecraft back safely to earth. Apollo 17 sends man for the longest mission yet to the surface of the moon, but it's the last lunar mission for generations. Now, it's time for a new phase in the program. Converting an unused Saturn V rocket, NASA launches Skylab, America's first space-station.

E05-The Shuttle: For its first 20 years, NASA launches capsules carrying a maximum of three people. However, new requirements for a bigger cargo bay prompt a breakthrough in spacecraft design. The development of the re-usable shuttle leads to a revolutionary approach to space travel. Meanwhile, the pioneers of NASA's manned programs are leading the way into the modern era of the space-age.

E06-A Home In Space: One of the most complex instruments ever built, the Hubble Space Telescope is expected to transform mankind's understanding of the Universe. But once it's in orbit, NASA discovers a serious problem -- a defective main mirror. NASA sends a team of astronauts to fix the problem in its greatest and highest profile mission since the Apollo era. It gives NASA the confidence to begin construction on the International Space Station.

When We Left Earth: The NASA Missions is a stirring documentary series that will capture your imagination, bring you to the edge of your seat, and leave you in a state of childlike wonder. Not only is the series itself loaded with meticulously remastered archive footage, the Blu-ray edition looks and sounds far better than I expected. Add to that more than four hours of bonus films, clips, highlights, and interviews and you have a 4-disc release that's well worth the cost of admission. I simply can't recommend this one enough.
