Lowell,
This is a great pick, and obviously covers all the appeals in a wide array. Saving Private Ryan, is definitely one of my personal favorite movies. The only thing that I feel I might disagree with, would be that, a perfect utopia of war could even exist with all the leader's having Captain Miller's leadership, and moral qualities. The problem with that would be, that there wouldn't be a war. His leadership qualities, and strong affirmations of justice, would end whatever conflict could possibly arise, and therefore the perfect war would be neither lost, nor won, just non-existent. I completely agree with the innate skills that Captain Miller has to offer, but in order for utopia and dystopia to conjoin, I think we need to remove the element of perfection. Captain Miller is the perfect leader, perfect soldier, and to be quite honest it is very hard to see his flaws. He is almost super-human. Just thoughts!!! Great Blog!
