Return

We rented "The Thin Red Line" last night. Thank you for the "reviews" people gave about it. I thought the movie was decent, okay but not great. Someone yesterday said it was a bit "cheesy" and I have to agree. It was entertaining, but I didn't like the editing, too many clips of worthless angles and views I thought. And after a while I got tired of the "whispering" as in the thoughts of people.

The one thing that floored me the most in the movie was near the end, when the guy gets the letter from his wife asking for a divorce. The whole time this guy has been sustained by knowledge of the love he shares with his precious wife, then she cheats on him. I'm surprised the guy didn't get a gun and kill himself on the spot.
