The Thin Red Line (1998)
Movie
Released
Terrence Malick lets soldiers' inward questions interrupt the apparent purpose of an assault on Guadalcanal. Faces, grass and frightened pauses keep complicating the military objective. The characters are fictional within a historical campaign; the reward is an unsettled attention to vulnerability rather than a clear tactical overview.
