The Thin Red Line: Fourth time is the trick.....

Posted by mr grits on October 18, 2007 at 08:11:45:
This is truly a masterpiece of man at war. Beautiful cinematography contrasting nature against man's violence. Hearing the thoughts and wonderings of the men invovled and seeing the cliches of their humanity all painted a complete portrait of the fear and futility of man's most awful activity.

The attack on the Japanese encampment was one of the best choreographed scenes of combat ever put on film. The simple but effective score along with the near chaotic dance of death between the overwhelmed enemy either begging for life or making futile lunges at dying in combat is awe-inspiring by showing all men are equal at the end.

Many folks before have said the film is filled with cliches. The folks that say that have never looked at life very hard--where do cliches come from--everyone's life. Many say the film is too slowly paced--this I felt at the big screen. This film requires one to shake the ants from his pants and get introspective.

This film just gets better with age. SPR and other don't. TRL is a mystical war film floating above harsh reality.
