Amongst a sea of very famous faces here lies an affecting, enchanting story of an apathetic soldier battling his feelings about the war. Though moving and beautiful in parts it doesn't scrimp on the action, there are some powerful and emotional battle scenes. This films exhibits the splendour of the earth and the careless destruction of it. The music of the Pacific Islands is like no other, gloriously haunting and life affirming, when i visited i thought about this film a lot and hearing the prepossessing sound i was overcome. A complex war film unlike any other, gracefully directed by the king of symbolism Terrence Malick.
Like This Watch These: Badlands (1973) Malick's breakout hit a more subtle Natural Born Killers, mesmerising, Paths of Glory (1957) Kubrickian masterpiece about the futility of war, The Longest Day (1962) The events of D-Day re-told by a multitude of stars.
