You will diminish the work of Spielberg by ignoring the utter horrid nature of war and the Omaha beach scene.
I did not know all of the details of Gladiator but knew some of them. I loved that movie, but wish Commodus had truly been killed in the arena.

I agree, which is why, after 10 years of release, I still have not seen it.
I have great memories of my grandfather and his stories and actual photos to teach me, I guess. He was not Omaha Beach, but saw his share of death and suffering in concentration camps and in small towns along the way.
