never saw "the thin red line" the movie, i'm guessing it's another hollywood anti-war movie.

 the only thing i know about the real "thin red line" is thats what they called the british troops in all the english colonies in the 19th century because the troops wore red coats and were spread thin and thats all that kept the barbarians out of the empire.

as in "all that protects the empire is the thin red line of british troops"

if that movie is about WW2 it should be called "the big green line" but thats not plagerisiam and no body would go see it and it would lose money.

It was a horrible movie.

No offense to those who liked it, but did you REALLY like it? Or did you just like it because it was suppose to have some kind of deeper meaning.

It didn't have any deeper meaning, just lots of trees. Trees don't make a bad movie good.

LOL! "You just didn't get it" is the battle cry for those who loved this movie.  I got it.  It sucked.  Just getting it is not enough to make this movie good.  Some people like that they got it.  Good for them.  It still sucked.

Watching it over and over is like trying to cut something again and again because you cut it to short and it just keeps getting shorter and shorter.

I didnt like the Thin Red Line the first time around, but the next few times I learned to enjoy it.

The basis of the movie is this:  The main character keeps questioning why he has to fight a war, especially in the serenity and peacefulness of a tropical jungle.  What kind of god/creator would make men fight each other like this?

The main character doesn't want to fight, he just wants to enjoy life.  But he ends up in the thick of it and dies.

Thank you Grun, you have reminded me again how badly trained, equipped and led into battle were those hundred thousands guys fighting to defend a crazy dictatorship they didnt believe in :rolleyes:

Hell, what am I doing, I'm teaching history to a wannabe Luftwaffe pilot in a thread about movies? ;)

I liked it and still do like it.

You enjoy movies more when you are not always desperately looking paranoically if the director has an agenda.

An Italian infantry unit Somewhere in the North African Desert 1941.

Men its time to attack, charge!

Hey Vincenzo is it really moral to attack?

Probably not Salvatore, but I am more perplexed by the issue that our attack, if succesful, will glorifly war.

Ahh, good point - lets just sit here and wait for the british and surrender.

Yes lets do that, and give me some cappucino.

:)


The real think, sadly, would have been as follow:

An Italian infantry unit Somewhere in the North African Desert 1941.

After a 50 Km march (no trucks), the officer orders: Time to attack men!!

Sergeant: Sir, the men are tired, we have no water and just one clip per man, no machine gun ammo, no mortars, are you sure you want we attack?

Officer: Baionets on, pick the clips from the deads, or launch stones, but attack now.

Sergeant: Yes sir.

(After the Brens fire and the light armoured vehicles have taken their toll)

Sergeant: Sir we are without ammo and under heavy fire!

Officer: Ok, sergeant, let's let the men drink, eat and rest, we surrender, to hell Mussolini and it's like!
