Extremely intelligent movie, must be awake to watch this one.

Rating: 9/10 (9 November 1999)

No movie can convey the way war looks, feels, sounds, you get the idea. If you want a movie that conveys the horrible sights of war, do see Saving Private Ryan. The Thin Red Line actually penetrates life beyond the realm of war. I like it for that reason exactly. It ties war to some of the most intense philosophical questions while using a decent superficial plot to entertain those with elementary school mentalities. It does not lack humor, although much of it may only be funny if you see where the writer is coming from. I noticed many people gave this one a "1" for a rating. Trust me, the average IQ of those people mirrors that rating. Overall, a superb film.
