A highly intense and spiritual movie, that uses the act of war to search for the answers of God, Heaven, Hell, good and evil.

Rating: Null/10 (7 September 1999)

The thin red line is one of those rare movie experiences that leave an impact on the sole of the viewer. It is a surreal experience that shows, probably some of the most realistic portraits of modern warfare ever filmed. Yet, the film keeps asking the viewer to think about the reasons why the madness portrayed on the screen actually happens. The films Hero (Witt), is a symbolic and highly spiritual character, who believes he has seen heaven, all the while he is going through hell. To me he was an angel, searching for the meaning of evil in life. Searching for answers, for God.
The war scenes in this film are very very powerful. The acting is outstanding. Nick Nolte gives the performance of his career. Scene after scene rivets our senses. In the end the only answer given is that we are all victims of fate, and if fate is God, then we are at his mercy. One of the greatest films of all time, and it will stand the test of time.
