both good movies with solid stories, acting, direction, "moral messages", etc etc

why on earth do you get to see the american flag in the end???

there is no connection with the story, you could have spiderman jump around the building of london or french soldiers trying to save private lui!

and no, i wont use the word propaganda. i wont speak about undercover messages of the secret world goverment
i WILL do that unless some comes up with some decent explanation...

Mark G, you disappoint me. Spiderman is an American Hero. And Saving Private Ryan was about American soldiers in WWII. I don't see the problem here. I've read Spiderman for a long time, so I know what the story is about. Why do you think his outfit is red/white/blue... Just about all of the comic book characters are Pro-American, Pro-Flag... Look at Captain America, Superman, Spiderman, and Wonder Woman. The Justice League was a collection of American Super Heroes.... for pete's sake.

partially yes, cause it limited the movie from a story about certain values to yet another US patriotic war movie
the whole thing was filmed and presented as it could happen in any time, in any war, in any country. and then you get the flag

Hey I've got the first issues of that!

A friend of mines uncle was the artist.

Maybe Marks upset that there isn't a really good Greek comic hero?
