Platicsco Good story, Not enough for a whole film
HomeyTao For having a relatively low budget, the film's style and overall art direction are immensely impressive.
Marva It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,
Haven Kaycee It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film
elliotjeory If you are tired or have trouble sleeping I recommend this film. It is bad, boring and slow. You really won't like it. You could pretend to but people will know.
Dusan Petrovic The other thing which caught Stein's attention was something which caught the corner of his eye in the glasses as he lay looking at Tella and wondering what to do. A figure emerged from the grass on the right-hand ridge plodding rear-ward across the flat and began to mount the forward slope of the fold. Turning the glasses on him, Stein saw that it was his Sergeant McCron, that he was wringing his hands, and that he was weeping. On his dirty face two great white streaks of clean skin ran from eye to chin accentuating the eyes as if he were wearing the haunting makeup of a tragic actor in some Greek drama.
MuLynch Please help i want to stop re-watching this great movie . what can i say ? i can't say anything just if you haven't seen this movie just stop reading and close the window of this page and watch it. i think and believe there is not war movie comparing with this great movie . Thank you Malick
legendaryoutlawx I can't begin to describe my Experience.It's something you have to experience yourself,and I hope you do.I watched this Movie when it came out,I was a kid at that time so probably didn't understand much.But 19 years later,I watched it once again, this time I was able to grasp so much more.It's not just a War movie or Just a Drama, It's an Experience, really. What I found out was that , even though some of our characters never meet in the movie, but they're tied by some bond,maybe it's their destiny. You don't just see the Story from a Single perspective , but from a lot of the soldier's eyes.The story may seem a Bit complicated to you at first but after some time, you'll understand,what the characters are trying to tell us .On top of this Experience, was The movie's score by Hans Zimmer. It really Makes the movie,the story speak to you.like I said it was an Experience. I'd say it wasn't a movie, but it was art.In 170 minutes, I saw, Experienced and Felt what the Characters were trying to speak to me. I've seen a lot of war movies, but one thing this gem of a Movie does best is that it connects to you better than others.The Narrations from different characters only add to the realistic environment you're experiencing. If you're looking for a breathtaking experience, to find what's it's like to be under fire, to find the meaning of life while Firing your M1 Garand at Jacques , do give this Movie a Try.One thing I can say is that after almost 3 hours of this Movie, you might Get better realization on a lot of things in life ,I did so . Cheers
