Quite possibly the best movie ever directed

Rating: 10/10 (24 January 2003)

The Thin Red Thin Red Line is one of those movies where the audience either loves it or hates it. I have yet to view a comment in which a person thought the film was moderately entertaining. People have either exclaimed their complete frustration and utter disatisfacton with the movie or have praised it as a masterpiece, there is no middle ground. This type of movie grows better and better with each viewing, I must admit after watching it for the first time it was difficult to make sense of who was narrating at a particular time. The complexity of emotion and desire in this movie are astounding to say the least.
Another IMDB user mentioned that the tactics and strategy that the U.S. soldiers utilized while attempting to take the hill was unrealistic. My advice is that this person study WW2 infantry tactics or at least watch the History Channel. Human waves was a common method used by all sides of the war(especially the Japanese).
Anyway, I'll refrain from turning my review into a long essay and end in saying that this movie(and A Midnight Clear) rank as a couple of the best movies ever made. This movie is perfect in every way. 10 out of 10 is my vote.
