  The musical score was "Jaws" like.

  One of my favorite movies . . . period.
  
  It got lots of criticism . . . the philosophial musings, nature vs. man theme, etc. I guess you connect to it or you don't. I did with The Thin Red Line. I've heard there was lots more footage, and it had to be drastically cut to fit in the theater venue. It's a shame will never see the longer cut (when blu-ray does appear, I doubt it will much longer, if at all.)
  
  Now A New World seems to continue the same themes, but I just didn't connect with it. In fact, I got bored. No, I didn't see the new cut released only on DVD. Last time I tried that approach (Kingdom of Heaven), it didn't redeem the movie for me.
  
  Hoping for good things from Malick's forthcoming movie . . . it should be released in 2010, at the latest.

  Bloody good, Mr. Dave. Saw Badlands again not too long ago. Brillant piece of work. Thin Red Line won't let me forget how imperfect a shit storm can be and for the poor bastards carrying the load. One thing that stood out is this was the age (as portrayed) of the enemy soldiers. Just pawns when you think about it. Aren't all privates.

    When I was still in Britain I watched it with a friend, a very macho motor bike and leather jacket kind of guy and I was thinking it might be a bit too touchy feelie for him, but at the end he just said "WOW... what a film.... about what war does to people... wow".
