Recently some of you touted me on The Thin Red Line and I watched it last night. I found it fairly typical of the new genre of anti-war war movies. Also it was a bit too surrealistic for my tastes.
A couple of things stood out. Nick Nolte's Battalion Commander was believeable as was the time spent thinking about wives and girlfriends.
I wasnt sure what they intended to portray with the sheer madness displayed by the overrun Japanese troops, unless it was meant to show the horrors of war, and if so there are probably better examples.
Overall, I didnt like it.
Tonight I get to watch DC's pick: Blues Brothers 2000.
