Troll For sure it is Pearl Harbor since .... As long as it regards the "Thin Red Line" someone must explain me how it could have been presented to the public the environment in which the GI had to move. .... I am not sure I understand your question about "Thin Red Line", and my opinion will be different from some others...
I made no question, I stated on what was the purpose of the director.
If you go on Wikipedia, in the presentation of the book, to point out that it is uncommon, you will read: "the author presents a more realistic depiction of battle where ordinary people experience a mix of murder, fear, homosexuality, dread, helplessness, frustration, meanness, terror, and emptiness".
What I said is that the director searched a visual way to present such an aspect of the book. With this I mean that, since the search of a new way to present war facts, to let the viewer to understand, if possible, the situation that soldiers faced he used the steadycam to recreate the narrowness of jungle.
With "Thin Red Line", as in the case of "Starship Troopers", you have to do with a book that is really difficult to convert in a movie, and to do that a director has to search a way: Malick tried to bring the viewer to the point in which he felt the soldiers found themselves with the steadycam. That's my point for which you can't consider this movie bad. |
