Do not see this film unless you are an English literature student

Rating: Null/10 (14 March 1999)

There is no doubt that The Thin Red Line was a good film, it was an English literature students paradise, but I am not an English literature student. The only reason I went to see this film is because George Clooney was in it, however, I had to wait over three hours for a glimpse of him and when he did appear that was all I got, a glimpse. Basically a lot of Americans were fighting the Japanese over a hill, and it took one and a half hours of filming for them to get about ten Japanese soldiers out of a hole! After that it got even more tedious and it was unclear which character was speaking in the voice-overs, I did cry at the end though. I am a film fanatic, and I will sit down and watch anything but this was the only film that I have ever seen that made me want to walk out. To put it simply, The Thin Red Line was a three hour long poem.
