It was Wagner. My mistake.
I know this thread is old, but I just saw the film last night and LOVED it. I will say beforehand that I am a big fan of TM's work, and loved the Thin Red Line. Many will doubless find it dull, like Thin Red Line. I found it poetic, moving, and engaging. I was NOT bored at all. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone looking for an actiony historical epic. It is definitelym ore of an art film, with very little plot stretched out with moments of contemplative calm. Kind of like a Henry James novel in its pacing, I guess.
