That the Easter island statues weren ' t religious symbols , but were built as a desperate attempt to reestablish contact with the world . The works were abandoned once Europeans visited the island , as the statues fulfilled their purpose and there was no need to build more or care for the existing ones . <| sep |> Steven Spielberg ' s Saving Private Ryan . One of the few films that paid attention to history instead of glorifying the second WW . The landing scene was breathtaking and leave you many things to think , the execution of surrendered ' German ' who were actually conscripted from occuppied country , the wandering soldier with his arm blow away , the medics tried to save someone only to have him death to gunfire . It show you how cruel and brutal war is , not from one side but from both side . Even though the second parts was fictional , it still follow the landing tone . People ' s lives were irrelevant in the battle , all for the ultimate purpose of securing the objective . It still have some minor flaws , but not enough to keep it from being one of the best war movie out there .
