but I think we can agree that Saving Private Ryan is not in favor of war, and yet it is a more or less accurate depiction of it.

What are you talking about? No one was killed in the filming of Saving Private Ryan. No one was holding their best friend as they died. It depicted the idea accurately, but none of the actors experienced war to do so. These young actresses are actually being sexualized to make this film. They are actually being bent over in leather pants so that the camera can start the scene on their butt. There is a scene where the girls are falling and the focus of the shot is the girl's crotch. These are things that are actually happening, not anything like the Saving Private Ryan.
