The Thin Red Line

I was ready to be suffocated. In this depressing rainy day, I resolutely looked down on the thin red line of The Thin Red Line. The monologue is a bit boring, but I still really think it's a great movie, and of course, it would have been better if it was cut to about two hours. Putting George Clooney in the lead would be ridiculous, the dude didn't show up until the very end...and only had a minute or two of play. The real starring is James Caviezel, yes, the one who played Jesus with a pitying face; and Sean Penn, many of whom can recognize faces, pianist Adrien Brody, John Cusack, John Travolta (also a cameo) is almost a big collection of movie stars and powerful actors. This is the most realistic and cruel film describing the Pacific battle of World War II, and it is not surprising that it is called a boring film by some people.

    The filming is so poetic, and the life on the island at the beginning is like being in the Garden of Eden. It feels like the part of shooting women influenced Nolan's "Inception" and Dennis Villeneuve's "Arrival", and the part of the war influenced "Band of Brothers". Guess the 15 hour version should look good.

    I first heard about the film from EITS. Stars hit one by one. I read the article introducing the loneliness of Khan Dead and said that the protagonist of the first version was Brody, but he was cut into soy sauce, and Uncle Li was the protagonist. The narration is very slow, and the lines are beautiful and philosophical. It's still too long, the story is not complicated, and it takes a lot of effort to portray the details. In the end, it took me a meal, seven or eight cigarettes, two cups of tea, and some mung bean cakes to finish it. . .
