I'm sorry was this supposed to be good?

Rating: 2/10 (15 June 2000)

Look people this could have been a good movie,BUT-. First of all there was too much poetry in it are we supposed to feel sorry for these guys because they come up with shakespere while the gooks are slaughtering Jonny Doeboy. Terrance Malick(or however you spell it) should have stayed in heyatous or whatever(call it hermitt crab syndrome). Thank god it did not take any Oscars away from Saving Private Ryan. I guess I have to say some thing about the way it was advertised. On the poster George Cloony is 4 or so down the list of like 9 people. The thing is you are supposed to do that list by part size and a crummy monoloque at the end does not warrant a 4th place ranking. Sorry George.If there was one good scene it was the Jap who was talking to the U.S. soldier in that lingering voice. The teeth scene was good also. But why all the swimming with the native kids. WHY?
