im a fan of the first hour but not that much of its second one.
spielberg uses a variety of technique's to make the scenes interesting in the first hour, from a two shots to the first shot of tom hanks transforming from a close up to a over the shoulder shot. but i think the second half misses this arrange of shots. simply, those shots help create a pacing but when you go to just standard static shots you become just another drama.
i still like the cinematography of its second hour but it also just deals with the most uninteresting part of the story which it didn't necesarrily needed to be uninteresting. i do like the moral stance our main character has but he also spouts "america and rules and we are americans are americans because we follow a rulebook" and shit so it would've been a good plotbeat to make him realize that maybe america isn't that great.
