Better than Ryan

Rating: 10/10 (21 March 1999)

Thin Red Line is the best war film I have ever seen, in a year with two W.W.II films one was based on pure visual stimulation with little symbolism to make it appeal to the masses. Thin Red line was an emotional and mental, full of amazing scenery and symbolism. This was the only war movie that rendered me motionless, I sat in the theater shaking during the raid on the Japanese camp. A far better movie than Private Ryan although the Oscars do not seem to be showing that so far.
