Summary: "The Thin Red Line" tells the story of a group of men, an Army Rifle company called C-for-Charlie, who took part in the fierce World War II battle of Guadalcanal, but the way in which this story is told transcends the boundaries of the war film genre.
I remember certain parts of this movie, but not the whole. I can't decide whether I've seen this movie all the way through or not. Either I haven't seen all of it, or it's a forgettable war movie. I'm leaning towards the latter.
This movie tells,in an impressing way,the story of the results of war. About the secret fears and doubts of the soldiers. It's one of the most poetic movies that handle this topic. Beside this fact "the Thin red line" has a beautiful cinematography with some stunning slomo shots. Awesome movie experience.
Hauntingly beautiful piece of cinema; every aspect of this film is perfection. I cannot even fault the pacing and the quick entry/exit of seemingly major characters, because Malick intended the movie to be far longer than the released cut.
Discursive, lacking in action . . . but that's Malick for you. I like this film a lot. It is much deeper and richer than the overly praised "Saving Private Ryan."
Highly philosophical, complex movie but one to which I could relate best. Although one does tend to compare it to other movies like Apocalypse Now, The Deer Hunter, Platoon, Full Metal Jacket and what not this movie has its own qualities. The multi-narrative structure enriches the movie to a very high degree, so that you get to know nearly all facets of war and the message is even stronger.
I thought I was being original by describing this movie as "poetic" but as it turns out, I'm not. Oh well! Not a "war movie" in the way you might be expecting, but oh my goodness like everybody is in this film.
TTRL seeks to depict the reality of war, but Malick does this by turning his back to the typical visceral and hard-hitting affect that most films in this genre cling to. Instead, the audience views individual struggles of each man along side the antagonistic pairs that are so beautifully intertwined in the film. The most defining opposite, the destruction of war vs the beauty of nature, is absolutely gorgeous in its capture through the lens. There are no other war films quite like this one.
