Review of The Thin Red Line (1998) by Darkbloodshed13 — 24 Dec 2019
The Thin Red Line is a film directed by Terrence Malick and is about the battle for Guadalcanal in WWII. This is one of the rare time times I get to say that everyone who participated in this film is at there best.
All the actors play there roles perfectly, the screenwriting and direction are both at there peak. Yet this film short of being a great film. That is because the way the actors interpreted the script is clearly different than what the director had in mind.
The director clearly wanted us to understand the solders on a deeper level, however all the actors play their respective characters with identical personalities that not one of them stands out. Meaning by the end of the film I have no idea who lived and who died.
In conclusion this film could have been one of the best I had ever seen but it just couldn't hold it together.
