Good special effects and scenery

But on a moral level it's a complete joke, making it seem totally okay and even the right thing to do, to kill prisoners and enemy wounded

This exists.

Dab for freedom, kiddos.

I'm not particularly against Jews or anything, but Spielberg really shows his bias in that movie. If we are supposed to believe "not all Jews/blacks/etc" then why doesn't he believe "not all Germans"?

Spielberg is actually pretty unbias.

Remember Saving Private Ryan?

That movie is more biased than Schindler's List

Not really, no.

I remember "don't shoot; let em burn"

And?

And the prisoner they released ended up killing the officer

Waste of precious ammo

Absolutely inhumane

Germans aren't Muslims

Well they weren't back then

Inhumane
Raises odds of survival for your buddies

The vast majority were conscripts just fighting for their country, protecting their families

You just described most belligerents in conventional war

Actually, he showed war crimes begin committed by Americans as well.

The problem is that in the end, the message is "should have shot the guy"

Same thing happened in "Band of Brothers."

So, no, he was actually, at times, pretty impartial and non-bias in particular scenes.

I didn't know the onus was on war movies to convey morals

Personally

now, this is just me

I'd prefer to portray the things that happened

Band of Brothers was showing the reality that both sides did some horrible things. Not the same as portraying it as good or bad

Saving Private Ryan portrayed the Germans as evil?

It protrayed both sides as not being totally innocent.

Can confirm, Saw that element throughout the movie last night

@Little Boots

p sure it portrayed people acting to preserve themselves

I actually like much of what Spielberg does.

Not exactly. It showed Americans as being morally right in allowing someone to suffer torture, to shoot an unarmed soldier who surrendered, and that the "better" solution to a prisoner dilemma is just to kill the prisoner

He also gave a ton of money for the D-Day War Memorial in Bedford, Virginia.

Oh I like a lot of his work, just not that particular movie

Everyone has their opinions I suppose

But I will agree that, opinions aside, the movie was well done

Except the film doesn't treat it as a "better" decision.
