One of the most important movies of the last decade!!!

Rating: 10/10 (6 October 2005)

Well, the movie might be a little too long, yes the movie might not obviously have a red line but though it all it is in my opinion one of THE and one of the most important war movies probably of all time! But why do I think about this movie in such an enthusiastic way while other guys just tare it apart in anger about their three "lost" hours of life? It is his tiny little thing the making the movie far better than Saving Private Ryan and consorts. It is the art of Malick to takes the bursting loud and chaotic nature of war and puts it in a calm and calming shell and mixes it with intelligent voice overs that really let you get into the minds of the soldiers giving their lives in a battle ordered by a freaking officer that has no idea what his orders might mean to the soldiers. It is just the point that you can really feel the fear and the desperation of the men running into machine gun fire one by one without the slightest appearance of patriotism and pathetic crap like it can be seen in war movies like Saving Private Ryan (which in fact is a good movie, too). Congratulations Malick! A masterpiece of a film what you have delivered here!!!!!
