I liked TRL, it was an exceptionally well made, an acted film. Its appeal to the masses is limited i think by it's rather slow narrative, and often convoluted dialouge.
SPR is one of my favourite films. Although a lot has been made of the omaha scenes, the film does eventually become the classic A to B storyline of most war films. It is also an extremely well made film, well acted and with an appealing storyline.
I was extremely impressed with Black Hawk down, loved the "Apocalapse Now" shots of the helicopters over the water/city. I did enjoy the trailer of Harts war, but I'll probably wait for the DVD to see it.

Thin Red Line? The cerebral movie for people that have to be told what cerebral means. You know those people... the ones that after 2 hours of watching this extremely repetitive movie say out loud "oh.. I get it".

Animal liked it because he thinks he's the only one who "gets it". Nearest I can tell, that's the only reason anyone liked it. Gonna be a real pisser when they find out virtually everyone "got it". Its just that with some.. it didn't take 2 1/2 hours.

Its not about "OH I GET IT!" and sitting there for two hours.
I know what it was about before I entered the theater.

Its about enjoying it. I enjoyed the two hours I watched it, and I enjoy it every time again.

You didnt, and for some reason, it pissed you off.

"The cerebral movie for people that have to be told what cerebral means. You know those people... the ones that after 2 hours of watching this extremely repetitive movie say out loud "oh.. I get it"."

LOL - what a retarded comment, you sure as hell dont know me. And of course you wouldnt enjoy it; always worrying what was the movie made for and for whom and what is the one next to you is saying and blah blah blah.

I still think it is a great movie, I think its a beautiful movie in fact. But then again, I watched a completly different movie than you did.

Yeah right animal.. a little refresher on what you said bud:

Quote

People tend to hate movies they dont get, so thats why lately almost all movies are made easy.

Nope.. you're not pleased you "got it" at all. Uh-uh. Of course, its probably the main reason you feel others didn't like it.

Somethings are just as transparant as TRL was.

With that comment I was talking about people like my stepbrother, who after the movie only said "what language was that on, we should have seen SCREAM II". I was teasing. I dont take other peoples opinions seriously.

just to be clear on TRL, i got it, i understood it, i think it sucked, huge peice of crap, first movie in 5 years that i got up and left before it was over

Sure thing Animal. Its not like you've tried to equate understanding it to liking it.. and not understanding it to hating it... "You either understand it and love it, or you will hate it utterly."

I understood the movie entirely. Your sumation in regards to the floating plastic bag in American Beauty was quite ironic. I found the movie to be just that simple too. I wish TRL'd only taken 1 minute to do it like American Beauty did.

It wasn't deep. It wasn't insightful. It was made by someone trying to impress the world with just how deep and insightfull he thought himself to be.

Sorry... but that is how many who did understand the movie will forever see it.

I'm pretty sure that this must be an obscure and deeply meaningful quote from Thin Red Line. Didn't that dead Japanese soldier say this?

I'm not trying to say you shouldn't like the movie. I'm trying to say a) I didn't like it and b) "getting it" has nothing to do with that. You'd be much less defensive about this movie if you'd stop trying to hold onto the believe that everyone that hated it just didn't get it.
