The Thin Red Line

Hits notes that have been played before, but does it better. Your enemy is you. The evil of war they say is human nature. Thin Red Line asks just about every question of man and war. It does not answer these for you it just poses the questions. The backdrop for our questionnaire is extremely beautiful. Some of the shots are just so pretty and well timed you'd think Malick had mother nature on payroll. Instead of forced dialogue that soldiers would never have we get thoughts. These thoughts are the soul of the movie and quite possibly the best way to go about posing the questions he wants to ask. The acting was top notch. Nick Nolte was electric. Everyone else was good too just not as good. A lot of different emotions here. You cry a little you smile other times. A very good watch if you have plenty of free time.
