artistic masterpiece

Rating: 10/10 (10 April 2014)

The Thin Red Line is a movie that had to have required at least one genius to make. (Although, I didn't list it as such, this might be, in a way, a spoiler review.) I have been captivated by several different war movies before. That includes some with great advances in technology at their disposal.. to ones made many years before I was born. This is probably the only one that I have a hard time not watching by myself. I almost always cry during at least one part. It is a deeper movie than some will want, perhaps. But, it is one that everyone on the planet should see. A more philosophical war film than most (only one that I know of that comes close is Apocalypse Now) the Thin Red Line is an experience that can not be taken lightly and should not be taken for granted if there is a shred of humanity in your soul. I, myself, have never been in an actual war battle but respect those that have. I also respect everyone who took part in the creation of this work of art.
