too many deep thoughts

Rating: Null/10 (24 February 1999)

I agree that Terrence Malick is a poet with images. But I thought that the movie's "deep thoughts" just didn't flow with the imagery. Although the soliloquies were meant to emphasize the movie's main message of "war is destructive and stupid", for me at least they ruined the whole rest of the writing. All in all it's not a bad movie to see, despite the writing.
