The war deletes humanity

Rating: 8/10 (31 January 2002)

This is a good war film, well plaid and narrated. Differently from many movies that use violence only to earn at the box-office, in this work the main theme is the war that eliminate all of the better things of the human race, such as love in general. In this context, the horrible scenes and the cruel situations are shown in opposition with the soldiers' humanity of both battle arrays, who are men first of all. So, there's not free violence.
"The thin red line" is a good film for that. It is a masterpiece such as "Full metal jacket" and "Bridge on the river Kwai", better than "Platoon", "Apocalypse now" and "Paths of Glory" (of the great Kubrick!!). Nothing to do with "Saving Private Ryan"!
