Amazing

Rating: 10/10 (18 December 1999)

"The Thin Red Line" is a movie for those who truly love the cinema, not Adam Sandler movies. Even though the facts that it came so soon after "Saving Private Ryan" (which I think is inferior to this) and it features cameos by half of the available actors of Hollywood, is enough to infuriate many people; the sensitive writing and direction (why doesn't Mallick make films more often - he's a true genius), as well as the delicately beautiful cinematography blend together to form a beautiful, poetic, breathtaking masterpiece. A treat for the eye and the ear.
