We had to watch it in HS. I was pretty inured to it from watching it several times already, so I found it surprising that some kids were actually having a tough time watching it, girls mainly.
The opening scene made me realize not how horrifying D-day was but how much gory shit I had already seen on the internet.
What I found really interesting is that I had no problem watching it a couple times in HS, but then I hadn't seen it for years and watched it again and felt sick.
Added perspective makes all that carnage seem so unnecessary and wasteful.
