    Not as bad as everyone makes it out to be. Is the ending out of place yes? Is it all historically accurate? I can’t say for sure bc I did not research the guy. However, I do think it properly penetrates one heart to not be complicit in the face of evil, christian or not. People make the movie out to be filled with negatives due to political agendas/religious conflicts within their own worldview. It was the ending that probably…

    3 and a half for me just bc I don’t vibe with these movies as much. Very understandable 4 star for others. Great animation, cute story.

    Best raw live captured war documentary film I have seen. Nothing like it. Impact of war and the whole chaotic and “nonsensical” aspect of fighting the taliban in Afghanistan is made so clear. Though the soldiers don’t realize it in the film. The questions as a viewer arise as to how was this fight worth it? 

    Regardless, the connection of seeing the soldiers and all the emotions of the turmoil of war, loss, pain, joy, and fighting was wonderfully shown. 

    Worth a watch into aspects of more modern ware fare.

    Wow! wWowowowowowow. 

    Terrence Malick is such a genius when is comes to filmmaking. 

    Not sure how he can create an environment that mixes the beauty of the constant presence of nature (God) and the intensity and hellish aspects of war.

    The dialogue, the buildup, acting. Truly incredible. 

    The fact that you don’t see the actual enemy for basically half the film and keep my attention so strongly really impressed me.

    Not sure how Malick does it, but he truly is the greatest director I’ve seen in my lifetime. I’m going to rewatch it again right now sheeeeeesh.
