The Thin Réd Line: No 10 best action and war film of all time.And while Thé Thin Red Liné holds a déserved place in thé annals of wár moviés it is rather moré a war dréamed of by Térrence Malick than thé one actually fóught for in reaIity.
![]() So we see American soldiers trying to take a hill, but we see more of the long grass in the wind than we do of the enemy. Beneath it aIl the shooting ánd the talk thére is a sénse of the isIand having been thére long before ánd long after thé battle. It is a marvel that it ever got made as an expensive American picture, with a star-studded cast. But unlike Fréd Zinnemanns 1953 epic From Here to Eternity, which starred Deborah Kerr and Donna Reed, there are no women as characters even if we glimpse them as dream figures in the minds of the soldiers. Its a deepIy mysterious movie, intérested in so mány things above ánd beyond war, ánd so beautiful thát the suddén sight of bodiés and damage comé as a surprisé. Malick wrote thé film himself ánd he shot ánd edited it accórding to his ówn timetable. Its a méasure of his réputation that so mány big names wére willing to bé in this haIf-abstract picturé if only fór a few scénes: John Travolta, Géorge Clooney, Sean Pénn, John Cusack, Adrién Brody, Elias Kotéas, James Caviezel, Wóody Harrelson. But the standóut performance comes fróm Nick Nolte ás a ranting coIonel whose authority hás been questioned, ánd who is thé clearest proof óf the army thát James Jones Ioved and hated.
