An Impressionistic Masterpiece

Rating: 10/10 (26 January 1999)

As I watch A Thin Red Line for a second time bringing the bill to 16 dollars, I am struck with beauty of images and quotes that are imprinted in my mind for a time to come. People expecting another Private Ryan are the wrong audience for this movie. In fact, this movie and Ryan show the difference between realistic and impressionistic movie styles. Either movie could be considered the best war movie ever but i prefer this movie for the pure fact of it still staying in mind like an uncontrollable thought, never leaving. The Thin Red Line is pure poetry that few movies (including book to movie) have paralleled. I leave on the quote
"Don't you ever feel lonely?" "Only around people"
