We have to take this rock. Director Terrence Malick made us look at something else.
Usually people rate a 5-6 when they don't like a movie, it's funny to see the number of 1 to 3 stars on a so well done production, even worst movies don't get a 1 or 3 stars, seems to be lot of mistery about around movie. If you except action and glorification of killing, you can forget about it.
I had seen this film once on DVD and really liked it. I came across the Thin Red Line Criterion Collection Blu-ray and swiped it up, instantly.
The overly philosophical chatter and the slowness of the film have lost me. Not that I don't like slow action and can take the voice off, but the conversation of God, Nature and the like I didn't have a lot of patience for them.
Biggest waste of acting talent in history. With a star-cast, you would expect a lot from this movie.
Mortality is the essence of war, the thin red line does not shy from this but at the same time does nothing to glorify war. This I feel is the paramount difference between this film and other, similar, war films.
Clooney? Penn?
Ver "La delgada linea roja" de Terrence Malick 13 años después de su estreno está muy lejos de lo que sería haberla visto en 1998. Este cambio de visión tiene que ver que a día de hoy podemos disfrutar de grandes sobreproducciones "antibélicas" como por ejemplo "Hermanos de Sangre", "The pacifico", "Las banderas de nuestros padres", "Cartas desde Iwo Gima" etc.
The Thin Red Line is a powerful war drama that features stars such as Sean Penn, and can only be bolstered by the all around experience of theaters like that of Garden Cinemas in Norwalk, Connecticut. Upon entering the smaller theater of Garden Cinemas, it is easy to get a sense that you are about to view an art film rather than a Hollywood motion picture.
