  The Thin Red Line 1998

  ★★ Watched 14 Mar 2025

  This is neither a documentary nor a fiction with engaging characters.

  Terrance Malick wants to make movies seem profound by giving it a sense of an unengaged observer POV.

  ★★★★½ Rewatched 16 Feb 2020

  This is among the most innovative pictures I've seen in a while.
  The feeling of suspence in this movie fluctuates throughout, but never ends,
  and in the end it masterfully explodes.
  The directors used every element they could to achieve this fresh, thrilling, feeling of stress: the innovative music score, the way it's shot and edited like an action movie, and above all the personality and speaking manner of the main character, a "loveable idiot" played amazingly by adam sandler.…
