"The Thin Red Line" was nothing but recycled scenes from "Saving Private Ryan" and "Apocalypse Now" placed in random order.

It was'nt even that. It was another Hollywood "Mash" movie where untrue Vietnam-era anti-American cliches were draped over a WWII movie. I especially love the part when those mean Americans overran the peaceful Japanese who were praying.

"Thin Red Line" could have been a great movie, but Hollywood totally ruined it.

OTOH, I recently saw "We Were Soldiers" and it is the best Vietnam movie yet. Nicely put together, respectful, and moving.

It wouldn't have been if Mr. Madonna had had anything to do with it.
