For those who think this is the best war movie ever made... Think again

Rating: Null/10 (2 November 1999)

With the exception of a few poingant, and incredibly well acted scenes,(i.e.- The storming of the beaches at Normandy and Jeremy Davies cowering in fear on the steps near the end) this film takes on a normal Hollywood stigma. It is honestly a shame that The Thin Red Line and Saving Private Ryan were released in the same year. The Thin Red Line is an Honest depiction of the humanity (or lack there of) of war. While Saving Private Ryan tries this with its "tear-jerker" scenes it just does not have the same effect as The Thin Red Line. Not to saying it's a bad movie. On the contrary it is a good film, it just should not, in my opinion, be put on the pedestal that everyone seems to think it should.
