Thin Red Line was about war to a degree; it did have battle scenes after all. I just think it was more complex than a let's-go-get-this-paratrooper-home film. It was about the corporate psychology of war, man's role in nature, man's inhumanity to man . . . I'll stop before I hurl. Malik's screenplay/dialogue was the same in Brave New World, that kind of internal monologue where a person is always questioning reality, motivation, etc. So much so that there is never an answer. You either like it or you don't. I don't like it, but at least it's different. Travolta and Nolte as officers wasn't exactly inspired casting either.
Ah, in other words...crap. Got it.
Actually, I got the point of all that, but it always so silly and pretenteous to me that I doubt that I could actually put into words how much I disliked that movie.
What about Clooney as an officer?

I don't know about "most" of it. The Germans never sent a super-sniper to hunt for Zaitsev, but other than that...

I stand corrected on the Black Pilot, I did not know this. Interesting that this was the case in WWI considering all the discrimination the blacks endured prior to and after WWI. I still bet it is soooo far off the mark historically and is more a chick flick than anything.
It was not untill 1994 that the US Airforce reconized Eugene and commisioned him.

I thought they sent their officer in charge of the sniper school, Maj Konig. Is that all bs? Questions such as these are difficult and stressful, perhaps I should go to happy hour.

I went in expecting the action scenes to be way over the top and I don't think they were at all.

Agreed T and Nik.
Liked EATG but Stalingard better. Remember the part where the T34 blows the bloke in half?[X(]
Only downer for me was the poor dubbing...........

Learn Ze German, silly Engländer...
Perhaps because he would have been accepted into the ranks, save for his skin color. Better late than never I would say.ORIGINAL: Demosthenes
Why in the hell would the USAF make him an officer 70 years after the war?
For starters - the Lafayette Escadrille was a squadron in the FRENCH air service!

The combat sequences were fantastic/horrific. Scenes in the second half of the movie though left me feeling emotionally manipulated and drops the rating to 6/10. [:-]ORIGINAL: Speedy

I personally think the combat in SPR leaves me giving it 8/10. The first 30 minutes[&o].....to think that occured for hours IRL[X(]
