Rating: 10/10 (15 February 2007)

In the movie, there is no main character that runs whole film instead, Thin Red Line is about eight soldier and their battles, not just against to Japanese but also against to madness and war itself .
The story of the movie is about the beautiful island called Guadalcanal which held by the Japanese and Americans want take it back. Private Witt played by James Caviezel, escaped from his unit and finds a peace in the paradise-like place and he is living with the natives of the island. Witt and his friend are found and send to new mission in to the island. Ambitious general played by Nick Nolte and sensitive captain who tries to protect his man for the deadly mission played by Elias Koalas
Instead of the meaningless loudly action scenes, Movie focuses on character buildings, meaning of the life, madness of the war, loneliness and pureness of the Mother Nature. The Thin Red Line is not "Americans save the civilization "type of movie.
Amazing cinematography and beautiful nature created surreal feel in every frame of the movie.
The score of the movie is outstanding. Hans Zimmer made one of the best original score of all time.
Special effects and make ups look so realistic and intense and create disturbing feel its audience
Acting is superb in the movie, Senn Penn, Nick Nolte and Jim Caviezel gave powerful and fantastic performances however, effective voiceovers worked perfectly and give the emotion of the moment. Finally, fantastic acting, Hans Zimmer's outstanding score, amazing cinematography and Terrence Malick's artistic direction style make The Thin Red Line probably the greatest anti-war movie ever made.
