Have you ever wanted a peek into the mind of soldier during the battle?

Rating: 10/10 (18 February 1999)

It was worthwhile waiting for 20 years for Terrence Malick to make another movie after brilliant pieces "Badlands" and "Days of Heaven". This time he has done a World War II saga based on the classic autobiographical novel of James Jones from 1963, "The Thin Red Line". Anyone who has read the novel knows how difficult it is to display the thoughts of the soldiers in war on the big screen. Malick did that beautifully, with such grace, and completely realistic. I know that, because I was a soldier in war for four years.
When you leave the theatre you will have inserted in your mind questions of the dying soldiers "Why are you killing us?", and you will understand that the war is complete waste of human lives. In few words, Terrence Malick has made another masterpiece.
