A great war movie

Rating: 7/10 (7 November 1999)

There are many aspect that make up a great war film. It is not enough to simply sit an audience down in a cinema and blast them with shells and death. War has never been black and white, you must alway strive to show the human aspects of war. The way in which it affects the solders and the villagers involved. " The Thin Red Line " captures all aspects perfectly, showing you the personalities of all the cast and delving into the mental aspects of both the front line troops and the commanders safely unfolding the battle from a distance. If you want to see war as it truly is then this is a film you want to see.
