Butterflies in my stomach and goosebumps standing in places I didn't even know I had them. Not because of past experiences, but because of the bravery and the dedication those soldiers had and the challenges they endured. I learn in awe of the greatest generation and what they accomplished. 

I think I mentioned it before on here, but I took in every little bit of that scene, it was an absolutely beautiful piece of filmmaking, but a brutal series of events.

When the typewriter scene played (directly after the final shot of the fight), I had to pause and collect myself, as all of those typists writing made me feel the gravity of what went on: all of that senseless killing, so many families torn apart and ruined, so many lives just needlessly meat-shielded away... war is awful. I think I just sat there, bawling my eyes out for like 7-8 minutes.

It is one of the 5 best-crafted films I have ever seen and I loved it to death... but I will never watch it again.
