Bu film hakkında

Based on the graphic novel by James Jones, The Thin Red Line tells the story of a group of men, an Army Rifle company called C-for-Charlie, who change, suffer, and ultimately make essential discoveries about themselves during the fierce World War II battle of Guadalcanal. It follows their journey, from the surprise of an unopposed landing, through the bloody and exhausting battles that follow, to the ultimate departure of those who survived. A powerful frontline cast - including Sean Penn, Nick Nolte, Woody Harrelson and George Clooney - explodes into action in this hauntingly realistic view of military and moral chaos in the Pacific during World War II.

One of the best, if not THE best war movies I have ever seen. The shear number of top name actors and quite a few who were then starting their great careers in this movie is insane. Heck, their even stars actors that are just in the background as extras. It was great just looking for their faces among the crowds. The scenes, acting, narration, everything are all superb. This movie didn't cut any corners when it came to expense. Very moving movie of war and life/death. Brotherhood among men.

Beautifully filmed this is one of the best war movies I have seen. It is at once moving, disturbing and haunting. My only fault would be that although I like George Clooney as an actor I don't think he was an idea choice for his part, he was just too Clooney.

This is a fantastic movie. It is more cerebral than "Saving Private Ryan" but does have its moments of intense combat. The Thin Red Lines delves more into the stress of waiting interrupted by moments of terror as well as the cost of war in lives that must be willing to be sacrificed if you are going to win. You will also get more of a back story on what occurs at home to families in time of war.
