Hesus christ !!

Rating: Null/10 (6 November 2003)

Whilst immediately knowing after watching the Redux version for the first time last night that this film would never become one of my favourite movies, meaning one of those films which you can gladly watch over and over and over . I think, in fact I knew as I was watching Sheen butcher Brando senseing the end was near that I had watched the greatest war movie of all time and one of the all time great motion pictures which will ever be produced . At times it was difficult, sprawling and extremely slow moving to watch but it was never boring and captured more than any other film the different moods of war and the exagerated human emotions which extreme distess and expirience can develop . There was no good guys, bad guys but just men some stronger, some weaker dealing with things probably beyond human capabilities . If you have a short attention span and like to be entertained pop corn stylie don't watch it or you will have the same misguided view as some of the idiots on this site who totally 'didn't get' this masterpiece .
