The Thin Red Line is an experience. It’s a fascinating look at war that only a visionary director like Terrence Malick could have achieved. Much more than a conventional war film, it’s a dreamy meditation between the real and the metaphysical, between being and transcending. Unlike for example Spielberg’s graphic portrayal of war in Saving Private Ryan, which came out a few months before Malick’s film, The Thin Red Line offers no clearly defined emotional solutions, it isn’t based on pro-American principles and overall wasn’t marketable entertainment to general audiences (except for the massive cast). Because of this The Thin Red Line is better approached as art and as a philosophy lesson than a traditional war film. It’s a film that focuses on questions that are perhaps impossible to answer and seeks to examine the very purpose of all war and man’s role in nature.
