A very good war movie - maybe the best

Rating: 10/10 (20 April 2003)

Terrence Malick made a spectacular war movie about the Battle of Guadalcanal. Free of patriotism and unnecessary blood. When you're watching it, you feel with the Soldiers - on both sides. In this movie there is no bad enemy, who has to be destroyed. There are only men, dying in the hell of war, thinking about the meaning of life, and the hope to survive. A must-see movie with one of the best landscapes ever filmed!
