The first film I watched after taking the TOEFL was the famous 1998 "The Thin Red Line" - it is said that the title of the film comes from the American proverb "Between reason and madness, there is only a thin line." red line". There is probably a sentence in "The Door to the Movies" that, unlike "Saving Private Ryan", "The Thin Red Line" is full of "disgraceful deaths". Indeed, in my opinion, unlike the belief in justice and victory and fear-inspired bravery that other WWII films have, this film does a great deal with the cowardice, desperation, and chaos of the American front-line soldiers in the middle of WWII. The madness breeds from fear and fear—in fact, the same is true of the Japanese army in the movie—the young soldier’s panic operation mistakes killed himself, the superior officer ignored the soldier’s life for the sake of reputation and power, and the brutality, weakness, and greed of human nature, It's exposed in the movie...a feature of the film is that it places a lot of combat footage under a sunny blue sky, but that brightness accentuates the hopeless chaos on the battlefield. At the end, the creator recounts the human desire for love and companionship, revealing an obvious anti-war complex. The whole film is full of rigorous and profound composition, and the narration is full of poetry and religion. Compared with ordinary commercial war films such as "Fury", this is a typical art film that is somewhat dull and not so easy to understand. But it is really worth seeing, 8 points [War will not bring honor, war will only turn people into wild dogs]
