Review of The Thin Red Line (1998) by Kisaan T — 30 Jun 2012
If you searched somewhere around while in a movie library, or on internet, that you want to see a War film like 'Saving Private Ryan' , 'Flags of our Fathers' , 'Letters from Two Jima' which would contain a fairly required drama content exactly matchable with the dazzling war sequences, then Thin Red Line can be a lesser film for you.
Thin Red Line is a rather more philosophical and poetic War film. The War to that extent that you'll start questioning about the cause of happenings of Wars? the film is represented as if there is no enemy on either side, but there are just soldiers and human beings.
And there is one aspiring human being, who is thought of as extra=emotional and sentimental, and who has to pay the price for bringing a delicate heart in War. This is how Maliick presented Thin Red Line.
The film raises many questions about the cause and happenings of War through it's poetic progressing narrative, and which will make you give a feeling that how would the world be if there were peace.
But watching Mallick's films needs patience. And for most of the watchers, his films can be watched only one time, but his films believe in saying and giving something more spiritual then sticking it to a dramatic entertainment.
