An excellent depiction of the war and it´s effects on the individual.

Rating: 10/10 (5 July 2000)

This is certainly the best picture of the year, all categories. Although the cast is full of Hollywood stars, the performances on the screen are excellent.
The main reason why you should see this film is that it displays a poetic and subtle depiction of the relationship between man and his nature. It explores the individual's reactions and deeds in a situation where our primal instincts and our basic moral values come to the surface.
The thin red line does not glorify the war like many other war movies. On the other hand it gives new life to the genre with it´s profound and subtle poetic approach.
