The worst film of the year (1998)

Rating: 1/10 (16 January 1999)

1. No storyline, no characters;
2. Mumbled narrative, only trying to "talk things out";
3. No connection between the scenes, no emphasis;
4. Taking shots from the third-party's point of view while using "someone"'s narration, which goes no where;
5. Too unrealistic about war. One won't try to take out a bunker in broad daylight. The enemy will not surround one and talk a lot before shoot just because he is a main character. The "slow motion" definitely weaks the point, if there is one;
6. Too much redundancy in the talk. "I know what you are talking, can't you just show me something, bring me the feeling?!";
7. Anyone with good equipment in such place can make very beautiful screen shots, but the filmmaker obviously lacks the courage to cut some out;
8. For an epic film, "Dances with Wolves" is much better;
9. For a more philosophical movie, go to see "pi", which is far better, although it only cost $6000;
10. New explanation of the theory of relativity: When watching 'Saving Private Ryan', three hours is just like 3 minutes, while watching 'The Thin Red Line', three hours is like 3 days.
