Great war-film

Rating: Null/10 (17 June 2000)

The Thin Red Line came out at almost exactly the same time as Spielberg`s Saving Private Ryan, and was therefore ignored by many. The Thin Red Line is directed with style by Terrence Mallick. It is a long movie(2h 50min)and sometimes it feels like its too long, but this movie is definetely worth your time. The Thin Red Line focuses(unlike Saving Private Ryan) more on characters and less on spectacular war-scenes. But both movies are great. But I must mention the spectacular orchestral soundtrack composed by Hans Zimmer. This is one of the best music I`ve ever heard in a movie, and really makes the movie more atmospheric. (The German documentary "das dritte Reich in Farbe" used the same music). 9/10
