A different war film.

Rating: 8/10 (24 August 2019)

This is the first time that I watch one of Terrence Malick's film and I got to admit... I didn't expect much of it... but wow... The Thin Red Line is an intelligent and profound feature.
This film is different from other war flicks. There's a phylosophical comments in every voice-overs, in every image. Malick asks us about life and the fear to die. He takes care of filming nature, especially animals. The latter wears a perspective on the soldiers.
The Thin Red Line is also a criticism towards war; a war that destroys physically and psychologically the men on the field, but also peace. The direction is very good, especially on the first part. The characters are shown equitably. The lights and colorimetry are excellent, thus the editing. And Hans Zimmer's original score is masterful.
At the end, despite some length, The Thin Red Line is probably one of the best war film, and you have to watch it. A must see.
