...SAVING PRIVATE RYAN The director of Schindler's List surely knows that World War II was morally necessary. So it is a measure of Steven Spielberg's maturity that by opening Saving Private Ryan with what may be the most unforgettably brutal sequence in the history of war movies--his astonishing re-creation of the Omaha Beach landing--he forces us to wonder if any cause can justify such carnage. It is a measure of his growth as a questioning humanist that the rest of his tense, brilliantly wrought epic puts men in mortal peril as they attempt to rescue...

...over the years I've also watched Oprah grow increasingly narcissistic and self-centered. When Steven Spielberg was a guest on her show last year, Oprah interrupted the director of Schindler's List to share with the audience excerpts from the journal she kept during the making of The Color Purple. We learned that Oprah was nervous before the filming began and impressed with her own performance. When John F.
