Please do not disregard this post. For I am entitled to my opinion.
Malick is obsessed with the white male as lord over it's dominion - the entire world and all of it's brown skinned inhabitants. Here we "poetically" follow a path of rustling nature and wheat grass which ultimately leads to a band of grossly portrayed, disgusting and idiotic Japanese soldiers. This is thoroughly and utterly juxtaposed against the imagery of beautiful white US soldiers. (In the New World he sets his multi-million dollar movie making propaganda machine on full throttle once again).
I did not find The Thin Red Line to be majestic, sweeping, or poetic. Ironically, it tried sooo hard to be that - that - any suspension of disbelief backfired - and it only made me conscious of the filmmakers themselves.
The film's pov is so utterly one-sided, it made me sick. In life there is 3 sides to EVERY story. Side A, Side B... and then there is THE TRUTH. THE REAL TRUTH.
