"What it mean's to live and what it mean's to die" - The Thin Red Line - I didn't really understand the point of the movie title until I watched this movie. This movie encapsulates it's movie title better than any other movie I've watched. Going in I was thinking another war movie, however this movie is not about war so much as it is about the human experience set against that backdrop. The movie show's the viewer what it mean's to live and die all in 3 hours. And at 170 minute's long, my only complaint is that this movie was too short for me, I wanted more of this masterpiece film. Afterwards I watched Day's of Heaven and Badlands which just reaffirmed that Terrence Malick is a master film maker. More than that an inspiration and hero and painter of civilization using the medium of film. After having watched this movie 3 moth's ago I feel like a change man from before I watched it and I largely attribute that change to this movie, this movie changed me if only a little that is still a powerful thing.
